THOROUGHLY AROUSE GRANGE
Farmers Organization Has Been
Chief Determining Factor In Saw
ing the Parcel Post.

Not since the Grange massed all
its energies to secure the enactment
OF parcel post has that organization.
in all parts of the country, been so
thoroughly aroused as during the past
few weeks. when II has become ap-
parent that the parcel post was In
danger and that mighty effort must
be put forth to bring about the over
turning of all that had been previous
ly gained.
Acting under the authority con-
ferred In the parcel post act, which
put the system into operation January
l, Postmaster General Burleson re-
Gently issued orders for a very de-
cided extension of the parcel post
service. This was exactly In line
with the spirit of the original bill and
met at once the hearty approval OF
every honest citizen.
Immediately, however, arose a howl
of opposition to the postmaster gen
erals order. coming from the express
sources as they could induce TO join
them. Their fight takes the form of
an effort TO prevent Mr.. Burleson
from carrying out his order and to
curtail his administrative power for
the future.
No sooner was the situation known
than the Oranges everywhere, under
the leadership of the officers of the
National Grange, took up the matter
vigorously, and letters and tele-
grams began to pour in upon Wash
ington, demanding that Postmaster
General Burleson be permitted to work
out his extension plans, and that no
obstacles OF any sort should be al
lowed to block the path of the parcel
post Members Of congress and
United States senator's have been
hearing from their constituents In no
uncertain tones since then, and the eff
feet has been to make practically Ger.
tain that there will be no interference
with parcel post extension.
The opposition to Mr.. Burleson's
plans comes from the express com
panies and allied interests who have
found their profits hard hit by the
parcel post. and are bound to block
any increase of it's proposed priv.
ileges. While this influence was for.
merly very great, 1t has waned very
materially since the Grange and 9th.

Is represented by parcel post.
Mr.. Burleson is standing squarely
on the proposition originally laid down
by Congressman Lewis. the congress

declared that congress ought not at.

or modify them as experience might
