SENATE ASKS DATA
ON P. 0. D|SM|SSALS
Passes Resolution Calling for
Facts Upon Recent 0usting
of Old Soldiers.

The Senate today, without opposition.
PASSED the resolution OF Senator Jones,
of Washington, intended to throw light
Oh the manner in which old soldiers
have been ousted from the PoStoffice
Department, and more especially from
the Washington city postoffice.
Senator Hoke Smith objected TO the
resolution last Saturday, but he was
rot present when il came up today. 1t
was passed promptly.
The resolution calls on the Postmaster
General to inform the Senate of the
names, ages and length OF service of
the veterans of any war who since
March 4, 1914, have been discharged,
denoted or asked to resign from the
department, or from the Washington
postoffice. It also asks for their eff
ticiency ratings on March 8, 1914, and
their ratings when they were dis
charged, denoted or asked to resign.
No discussion of the measure resulted.
When Senator Jones gets the informa-
ton, he doubtless will speak upon It
and take such steps as he deems are
feasible to correct any injustice done
the old soldiers.
