WESTERN UNION
EXTENDS SERVICE

During the past few years the West.
ern Union Telegram Company has been
in the van of public service corporations
| in putting out new services to meet
modern business and social demands.
The company now announces another
innovation for the benefit of its patrons.
The Western Union Company annually
transfers by telegraph an enormous
amount Of money and heretofore the
senders of money have not been permit
ted to include in the transfers any com
munication of a business or personal
character to the payee, such information
being required to be sent by separate
message. Under the new arrangements.
however, transfers between points in
the United States may include such in
formation and the same will be delivered
to the payee at the time the transfer is
paid. This surely represents an unto
date service and one that should appeal
to and be of much value to business
houses and the public generally. Through
it, people will be enabled to transmit
money quickly with proper instructions
to meet banking obligations, pav insur-
ance policies, guarantee purchases, ac-
company bids, purchase railroad, steam
ship and theatre tickets, pay taxes. as
sessments and bills of ali descriptions,
make remittances to travelling statesmen
and pupils attending distant schools, etc.
There is:practicslly no limit to the pur-
poses for which this service is available. !
The Telegraph Company Is to be COM
mended upon the manner ia which Il is

cans have been sitting here since Con-

something. They simply are so swamp
ed by their legislative blunders, by the
awful conditions that confronts them
financially. and also by the split in their
party on the Presidents pet policy of
preparedness that they really do not
know what to do. They have huddled
in the darkness of their despair, uncer
tain which way to turn and expecting

This administration, through its Post
Office Department, has certainly stirred
up things in my state" said a middle
west Congressman. Forty rural routes
in my district have been affected and
some of the most ridiculous changes
have been made. Instead Of the pat
rons getting their mail from places
where they had excellent facilities, in
cluding a daily paper, the place of start
ing the route has been changed and To-
Gated in offices which have only one
through mail a day, and where it was
impossible for any of the patrons to get
a daily paper at all. Routes have been
changed from good roads to impossible
ones, where there were no houses at all.
Others have been heightened out when
it was absolutely impossible for the
carrier to make the old distance in bad
weather. There was never such a mix
up and such dissatisfaction. The people
of my district have held indignation
meetings, protests have been sent and
they are tremendously stirred up over
what is little less than an imposition.
They know who is responsible and they
will be heard from later. This program
has been carried out all over the coun-
try, but as far as can learn it has only
been donei in strong Republican or strong
Democratic states.

WANTS CHAPTER OF
 GREEK FEDERATION TO BE RE-INSTATED

Before the session of the 14th bi- enniaI convention of the Greek Cath olic Union of America today, Attor- ney Joseph Meyers of Homestead, Pa, argued for the reinstatement of St. Nicholas chapter of Auburn, N. T., This branch of the union was sus- pended last year.
 The chapter at Auburn was sus- pended as were a number of mem bers> of the Union throughout the United States because they have af- filiated with churches under control of a number of bishops in this coun- try instead of continuing as members of churches connected with the Greek Catholic faith.
 Attorney Meyers argument today was that most of these churches have since affiliated with the .Orthodoz church or else have Joined the Ro- mon Catholic church and that there is no clause in the bylaws of the Union which regulates the faith that the members shall profess other than they shall be Greek Catholics.
