More testimony to the same effect comes
from Congressman A. Gallivan of Boston
According to Golfers Weekly, he tells the
following story of Boston 8 postmaster:

What a commentary. 1t is evident that not
only the railway mail service but every
branch of great help to business is deteriorat-
ing as a result of the mistaken policy of econ
omy put in force by the postmaster general
The first alarm was sounded when the rural
delivery service was hampered by frightening
the routes of the carriers. Now comes an as
sault upon the railway mail institution after
ty years of its operation under conditions sec
ond to none in any country in the world. And
Keolnl IS hut one Of the cities which will be
made to suffer should Mr. Burleson succeed in
putting this backward proposition over.
Particularly, it is reported that there is q
plan in contemplation to curtail the service IN
and ont Of this city to degree that will work
to the disadvantage of local business interests
An interesting sidelight on the thought OF
the present postmaster general is contained In
the following which are words spoken in debate
in the United States senate by Reed Smoot of
Utah:
