MAIL TO FRANCE YIELDS
TO TROOP MOVEMENT

Persons who expect the mail service
between this country and the American
expeditionary force in France to run as
smoothly as the service between here
and Baltimore are expecting too much.
Department.
The Star is in receipt Of a communica-
tion from a resident of this city in
which the following question is asked:
'Is there any way to secure greater
efficiency in the mail service between
this country and France?
1T takes forty days" continues the
writer. "for letter from Washington
to reach soldier in France with a per-
manent address and about the same
time for a letter from France"
Officials Of the Post Office Department
reiterated statements formerly made by
Otto Praeger. second assistant postmas-
ter general. to the effect that complaint
as to delay or failure to deliver letters.
papers or parcels arise in the main
from the fact that persons communicat-
ing with American troops do not take
into consideration that approximately
thirty days are required from the time
Of mailing for letter to reach the ad-
dress. owing to the disturbed ocean
traffic.
If thirty days becomes forty days or
even longer. officials say, it is not to be
wondered at.
By far the greater part of the mail, they
declare is taken to France on the Army
transports. which Of necessity must give
preference to men and supplies. and the
movement Of mail across the water conse-
Quently is very irregular.
Again. the railroad transportation in
France is strained to the utmost to meet
military needs. Many persons who have
complained to the Post ONCE Department,
1t il said, have later advised that the mail
is reaching the persons to whom il is ad-
dressed in satisfactory manner. Their
original complaints were due to not al
lowing sufficient time for their letters to
get across and the answers to return
One must be patient, it is pointed out
as these are war times.
Charges that boxes addressed to SOL
diers have been opened and the con-
tents stolen are met by postal authori-
ties by the statement that all packages
must Of necessity be opened before they
are allowed to go to the boys in France
for the protection of the soldiers them
selves. All this work is done at New
York by the postal authorities, and
doubt Is expressed here that anything
ever has been stolen from any Of the
thousands upon thousands of packages
opened for inspection.

ALLEGED THAT PACKERS
CUT OUT THE SMALL MEN
Testimony on Charge Of Unfair TAG
tics Toward Dealers introduced
at Hearing.

CHICAGO, February 27.-Testimony
intended to substantiate charges that
big Chicago packers eliminated small
dealers in poultry and eggs by unfair
tactics, that their agents lobbied
against certain labor legislation in
state capitals and that they sought to
increase negro help in their plants. has
been introduced at the inquiry of the
packing industry before Samuel w.
Tator, examiner for the Federal Trade
Commission.
Francis ]. Heney of the Federal Trade
Commission attempted to show that
the packers. by setting up dummy"
firms and by underselling the small
concerns had crowded many from the
field.
He named w. F. Priebe, whom he
charged with drawing a salary from
Swift & Company while serving on the
Federal Food Administration for 81
year with being especially active in
the campaign against small concerns.
Asks Government Protection.
J. E. Hoban of Carrollton. Mo-. after
giving testimony in regard to the pack
ers activities, made an appeal for gov
ernment protection, as he feared ne
said. that his business would be COM
pletely wrecked by the packers in re-
taliation for his testimony.
Il am like a flea biting an elephant"
Hoban said, land / won't have a fea's
chance If the packers start after me-
III there isn't enough fighting spirit
left among the small dealers to come
before the Federal Trade Commission
and let the government know what is
going on, just as you have done, l am
indeed sorry for the small dealers, and
for the people of this country" said Mr..
Heney.
Fear to Give Information.
'The great trouble the government
has in proceeding against the packers
is that men like you who have the in
formation, fear to give it. The Federal
Trade Commission. without red tape,
will act whenever complaints are made
of unfair, illegal business practices"
T. A. Buchanan, q poultry and egg
dealer of Hardin. Mo-, and Rudolph
Miller, a creamery dealer of Macon,
Mo, testified that the packers had
"gobbled up" the little dealers in their
territory by underselling and by price
juggling.
Il am sorry ] was called here to tes-
tify." Miller said. for it costs too
much to fight the packers, and they
will harm me whenever they can"

Reflections" on Employees
of the Food Administration
Are Resented by Mr.. Hoover

Herbert Hoover is indignant that the
integrity of any employees of the food
administration should have been called
into question. All are serving the gov
ernment and public unselfishly, he in
sists. and he resents the reflections
cast upon some of them by Francis j.
Heney, who is conducting the Federal
Trade Commissions inquiry into the
meat packing industry.
The following signed statement was
issued last night by Mr.. Hoover:
'On behalf of and out of considera-
tion for the men referred to in the
packers investigation at Chicago yes
terday, who are. or have been, en-
ployed in the food administration,
wish to say that none of the men re-
ferred to have had anything whatever
to do with the regulation or control
Of the packing trade: They. are en-
ployed in other directions and not now
paid by the packers.
From time to time. as in these cases,
many men are tried out temporarily in
the food administration, and if they
are able to give the time and prove
to have the devotion, experience and
skill necessary for this work they
are required to resign from any con-
nection that would involve any con-
flict of interest before they become
permanent employees of the admins
tration.
"All of the men referred to have rem
dered valuable service to the govern
ment at considerable sacrifice to them
selves and there is no question what
ever as to their loyalty to the public
interest"
