FOURTH CLASS KENTUCKY
OFFICES TO BE PRO1ED

The Post-office Department Friday
detailed a corps of inspectors to make
a whirlwind trip through Kentucky
to investigate charges that have been
filed against 125 fourth-class postmas-
tiers. 1t instructed it's secret agents
to perform this task within a fort
night and to submit their reports to
Washington as soon as possible. The
action was taken by Chief Inspector
Johnston, at the suggestion Of Post
master General Burleson, who is anx-
ious that the work IN Kentucky shall
be completed before wintry weather
makes many of the roads in the State
difficult to travel. A score or more
of the fourth-class offices whose post
masters are under fire are situated
in out-of-the-way communities, and
Postmaster General Burleson as well
as his subordinates realize that if the
investigation of pending charges is
deferred until after the holidays that
the unimproved sroads will be in such
a condition that inspectors will be
greatly handicapped in carrying out
their mission.
There are about 1000 fourth-class
pest-offices in Kentucky, one-eighth of
which will be visited by inspectors
who will probe charges ranging from
ineffciency and neglect Of duty to
pernicious political activity that were
recently filed against these postmas-
ters.
