Postmaster General Burleson says
that for the first time in the history
of the country the postal department
has shown under the administration a
surplus above expenses. He has some
thing like nine million dollars to turn
back into the treasury. Which, upon
its face, is a splendid showing But
Mr.. Burleson does not show how he
has made that surplus possible. Men
familiar with the workings of the de-
partment know; the men who are do
ing the work know, and they know to
their bitter cost. The great surplus
of which Mr.. Burleson boasts has been
made possible by the pinching, the
squeezing, the stinting of salaries, the
men, the denial to them of the things
to which they are entitled, and which
the laws say they shall have. The
hard and unjust hand of official OPP
