Loyal Workers Are Staggering
Under Tremendous Increase
in Postal Business.
NEW PAY BILL HELPS
Increases, However, Are Consid-
cred Inadequate and Chiefs
Fear Many Will Quit.
BY HARRY B. HUNT.

Washington, June i2.-Just what ii
the matter with Uncle Sans mail SER
vice?
Republican politicians and disgrun-
tied postal employees sum the explana-
ti0n up in the one word "Burleson."
Others say it is the low pay and ex-
acting work Of postal employees, which
has forced hundreds Of men out OF
the service and has drawn few in.
The fact is that the postal service
is working under tremendous over
load and against seriously hampering
conditions of transportation and en-
ployment.
Under these conditions the real sur
prise is that 1t is not worse; and that
IL Is not worse is an eloquent testi-
m0nial to the loyalty and perseverance
of the army Of 100000 underpaid, over
worked men who are in the postal
service.
How many persons, receiving d let
ter perhaps one day overdue, consider
that 1t now takes from ten days 10 a
month to get shipment by freight
that used to take only three or four
days? Yet the mails ere handled over
the same transportation systems, for
most part, that handle these freight
SulpmeHtS.
The public has, quite properly. look
ed upon the postal service as one
means Of communication and trans
portation which can be depended upon.
And the postoffice department. recog-
nizing this, has attempted to make
good 1t has declared no embargoes,
no priorities. The result has been that
when other means OF transportation
have failed, tremendous volumes Of
merchandise and materials of all sorts
have been unloaded upon the post
office department for delivery.
The extent Of the overload to which
the postoffice department. has been
subjected during period when. be-
cause OF tffe limitations 0fspay fixed by
congress 1t has been impossible ade-
quately to increase the working forces
in the cities where most of the increase
originates. is indicated by the fact that
postal revenues for the past two
months show an increase of SO per
cent over the same period last year,
for the whole country. and OF more
than SO per cent for New York. Chi
cago and many of the larger cities.
This Is against a normal increase of
less than 6 per cent

LEADERS IN SENATE UNITED IN EFF 0R I ID BREAK DEADLOCK
py Auepiat,e P,s,,


 Washhn gton. January 13.-As-
 publican senators were united in
 enaeavcring to end the Senate
 treaty deadlock and to aveid car-
 ryinE the treaty issues into the
 coming political campaign were
 Efven by Senators Lodge of Mas
 sschusetts and Hitchcock of Ne-
 braska, repuhlican and acting
 democratfe leaders. respectively,
 today to spskesmeH of orEanixa-
 lions claiminE to represent 2O,-
 100000 people desirous of early
 ratification of the treaty.
 The two leaders were visited sepa- rately at the capital by more than a score of representatives of various orr eanizations. including societies work ing for ratification of the peace treaty. labor, unions, church and other reli- gious societies, and agricultural and educational bodies
 The calls on the Senate leaders fol- lowed a meeting to urge immediate
 
 reservation as may be necessary to secure the requisite two-thirds vote.
 Senator Lodge told the delegation that he would be glad" to consider any notifications of the treaty reser- vations which the democratic minor- ity might present. and that there was being evinced "a general desire to dispose of the treaty promptly so as to avert it's infection into the elec- tions. Republicans and democrats in the Senate, he said. now were at tempting ito reach common ground with that end in view.
 Calling at the office of Senator Hitchcock. the -dAlegations was told by the acting democratic leader and by Senator Smith. democrat. Georgia o1 the efforts being made on the demo cratic side of the. chambr to bring about prompt ratification. The spirit Of antagonism which dominated the treaty debates Ats the last session oi Congr ess. Senator Hitchcock said. had given way to a spirit "of an honor able compromise. which led to the belief that ratification of the treaty with some reservations would be at tained before the end of January.
 The conferences With the Senate leaders were the transcendent develop nent today in the treaty situation Many conferences wore held between senators. with nezotia tions virtually confined to the main dispute--over the reservation to Article l o of the League of Nations covenants No definite prog. ress was reported from the confer ences and leaders of both sides said there was no prospect of final action on the treaty this week. Some of the democratic leaders. however. expressed hope that next week may bring .ar agreement which can be presented to the senate with cloture rule to hasten q final vote. &

STORMY SCENE IN l. HOUSE OVER PROBE ! ARMY DECORATIONS
 Fight Centers About Attack on General March By Gallivan of Mas sachusetts
., A.estat,d a..,,

Washington, January 13.-The move- ment for congressional investigation into awards of army war decorations produced a stormy scene in the Houso today, during which resolution by Rep resentative Gailiyan. democrat. Mass achusetts, calling on Secretary Baker for report on the awards, was adopted
 The fight centered largely about Mir. Gallivan's attack on General March. chief of staff, and other officers as- signed to duty in Washington during the war. The chief of staff and other officers attacked were defended by other members.
 The House ought not to acauiesce in the attack on General March and other officers of the army" declared Representative Moore, democrat, vir- ginia, concluding the debate with an appeal for rejection of the resolution. which on roll call was adopted-lS3 to 123
 Most of the democrats opposed it.
 Representative Gal1ivan urged ths adoption of his measure as tho start of general congressional investiEa- tlon into tnc award or war honorS, de- claring that proportionately more of ficers in Washington received distin- guished service medals than those in the front lines
 The services of all .lounge Iix-
 ards of the second Army of the Pc
 tomnc7 were recognized with dcc-
 orations, GaIIivan charged, includ-
 ing former chiefs of stnff, who. he
 snid, were removed for inefffciency.
 General March was referred to
 by GaIlivan "tbe high priest of
 Prussia nisui.' and the "nan for
 whom no officer ever speaks a
 word except conte adding that
 his citation for the distinguisAcd
 service medal would have been
 written only "under orders"
 Several other members lauded the chief of staff for his fairness and ef- ficiency declaring he was entitled to any honors conferred on him. They also accused Gallivan of unfairness in attacking officers who could not reply.

COMMISSION BEGINS
 WORK ADJUD|CAT|NC CLAIMS 0F MINERS
Operators Agree to Partici- pate In Procedure and Abide By Decision of
 Commission
By Associated Pros,

Washington, January 1s.-The coal strike settlement commission was enabled to begin it's actual work of considering and adjudicating claims of bituminous miners for advanced wages and shorter working hours today by agreement of operators in the central competitive field to participate in the procedure and ahsae by the decision of the commission. This removed the last obstacle, and the com mission immediately called for John L.. Lewis, acting president and other repre- sentatives of the mine workers, to set forth the case for the men Lewis and his associates set forth the full demands as presented before the strike last No- vcmber for a 60 per cent increase in wages, a 30-hour work week and six other concessions. Straightforwardly they told the commission they were not attempting to obtain for the miners increases over their wartime wages to compensate them for raised standards of living.
 The miners standards of living, social position and the environment in which they must raise their children have ever note which was followed by William Green, international secretary of the mine workers, and Philip Murray, presi- dent of the Pittsburg district of the union.
 The operators notice of consent to par ticipate was given at the opening of the commission session today by Ralph Crews, counsel for the central field coni- mittee. He made the recommendation, however, that the operators could not legally participate in a coal prize fixing agreement unless 1t were provided that such an agreement would expire with the Lever food and fuel control act.
 President Robinson of the commission immediately pointed out that the Presi- dents letter creating the commission cm- powered it only to make an award which would "serve as a basis upon which q new wage agreement can be made"
 Mir Crews agreed to accept for the op- orators whatever construction the com mission might choose to place on tSe word and to waive the receipt of answers to series of 10 questions which the op- orators yesterday submitted to the com mission.
 President Robinson announced thNt the commission would sit each day from 9;D a. m. to 20 D. n.; would allow cross examination of all persons appearing be- fore it, and would accept arguments CT riefs not only from the miners and op- orators, but also from others interested.
 At the conclusion of its formal ses- sion. the commission caiied in miners rep rcsenting coal fields in the United States outside of the central field for informal consultation. The miners presented number of complaints with reference to the application of the 14 per cent increase granted to the men on returning 10 work,
