MERCHANTS ASK INQUIRY
INTO U. S. POSTAL SERVICE
Tell House Rules Committee That
Mail Delays Call for
Investigation.

Before the House rules committee
yesterday hearings were concluded
at which the Merchants Association
of New York argued for an tnvestiea-
tion of the postal service on account
of the serious delays in delivery of
mail.
The delegation asked Congress to
inquire deeply into the work of the
Post Office Department to determine
why mail had been slowed up, es-
pecially during the last three or four
years. 1t was shown that delays oc-
cur even where railroad transporta-
tion does not enter into the problem
Of delivery. It is claimed that the
delays are due to curtailment in the
railway mail service and to the gem
eral cutting down and Increasing in
efficiency Of the postal service due to
employment Of inexperienced men It
became evident at the hearing that
throughout the country a great MANY
men are leaving the postal service
on account of better pay and better
working conditions elsewhere In
some cities, it was stated, the gov
ernment had to appeal to outside
business interests not to hire awav
any more of the federal employees.
