KNOCK POSTOfFICE
Merchants at Capitol Blame Burle-
sons Economy Plans.

Postmaster General Burleson's al
legged desire to pile up a postal sur
plus rather than give efficient SER
vice was blamed yesterday by New
York merchants for what they as
serted was a fall-down of mail de-
livery.
Before the House Rules Commit
tee. Frederick B. DeBerard, direc-
tor of research of the New York
Merchants Association, toli OF tests
extending over many weeks, in
which he said thousands of letters
had been unreasonably delayed.
Troubles of getting a letter from
one part of a city to another, he
said, was due to inefficient help. De-
lays in mali from one city to an
other. he declared. were largely
caused by not sorting mail on trains.
The great masses of unsorted mail
which came piling into offices de-
hyed mails Of all sorts. ovsrwhelm-
ing the distributing forces.
DeBerard spoke in support Of a
resolution to empower a congress
sional committee to conduct inves-
tigation of postal service generally.
The committee took no action. Ad-
VI tno COT1-
mittee are said to regard the criti-
cism as part of an unfriendly cam
paign which they will refuse TO aid.
Both Burleson and President VIII
son were hotly assailed on the House
floor later in the day by Republican
Congressman, led by Representative
Good, of Iowa, for alleged violation
or Civil Service rules in appointing
postmasters.
Good charged that Burleson and
the President had forced" on the
Civil Service a new regulation under
which ''the merit system of select
ing postmasters has been aban-
doned."
He said that this new regulation
made eighty per cent of an appli-
cants qualifications consist of 'Hbusi-
ness ability" and that the Postoffice
Department is made partner with
the Civil Service in determining this
fitness.
Representative Cox, of Indiana. ad-
ministration Democrat. vehemently
denied partisanship in the selections.

Turning trees Into silk stockings
has become an important industry In
the United States In recent years.
During the last fiscal year more than
100000 pairs Of stockings made from
artificial silk, obtained from wood pulp,
were exported, the National City bank
says. The United States has now be.
come one OF the leading world pro-
ducers Of artificial silk.
From being a large importer Of this
product, this country has become q
copsiderable exporter. While the tex
tiles made from the artificial fiber are
mot yet fully equal to those produced
from the natural silk, the growing use
of the artificial silk Ii illustrated. by
the fact that our imports Of artificial
silk. chiefly in the form Of yarns or
threads. aggregated Hbout $4,000, 900
In the last decade. With the openisg
Of the war the supply from Germany
and Belgium was entirely suspended
and that from Great Britain and
France materially reduced.
