CONGRESS WILL COMBAT
THE BURLESON REGIME
Arbitrary Acts of the Postmaster
General Will be Investigated
by Republican House.

1T will be our policy to make careful
inquiry into the conduct of the postal
service, with a view to eliminating
wasteful expenditures and faulty ad-
ministration. We shall favor readjust-
ments of the compensation of the en-
ployes upon an equitable basis and
otherwise encourage them and improve
their working conditions, to the end
that efficiency of the service of which
there is now universal complaint may
be raised to the highest possible stan
dard. We shall oppose a continuance
of the present autocratic and despotc
control of the telegraph and telephones.
and favor their return to their owners,
subject to the regulation of the people
in the local communities, or of the In
terstate Commerce Commission as to
interstate traffic, as prescribed by law"
So said Representative Halvor Steen-
erson. of Minnesota, the new chairman
of the House Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads. Full of vim and ener-
gy. several inches over six feet in
height and built in proportion, he is
preparing to devote all his strength. in
conjunction with the other members of
the committee, to cleaning up the Post
Office Department as administered by
Postmaster General Burleson. He is
particularly anxious that the telephone
and telegraph companies shall not be
used for political purposes which must
be paid for by the Taxpayers. The
Postal Telegraph Company formerly
had a net annual income of $l2, 900, 900
Burleson reduced it to $4,0OO,0OO, The
Government guaranteed the dividends
of both it and the Western Union and
then increased operating costs to such
an extent that deficit will have to be
paid by Congress. In view of the fact
that the Post Office Department is
handling hundreds of million of dol
lars of receipts of both the telephone
and telegraph companies, without re-
straint or authority of Congress, 1t is
likely that during the new session, to
be called before summer, a thorough in
quiry will be instituted to determine
just what autocratic methods were pur-
sued by Burleson and just what caused
paying companies under private control
to meet with large deficit under pub
lie ownership. In an effort to make up
this shortage the Department increased
long distance telephone rates. but this
is said to have had disappointing eff
feet, for the reason that the higher
rates caused the number of calls to fall
off enormously. 1t is Steenerson's in
tention also to prevent further unfair
discrimination in salaries in the Post
Office Department.
