FOR SLANDER|NG SERVICE
Burleson Found Chicago EN-
ploycs Were Getting the Money
to Abuse Administration.

Washington, Sept. 2.--Postmaater-G Cen
eral Burlcson yesterday ordered the re-
moval of IL clerks in the Chicago Post
office for soliciting or causing TO be
solicited sums of money from the public,
andforpublishing or causing to be publish
ed false and slanderous statements rel
ative to the postal service.
Evidence obtained by postoffice in
spectors, Mr.. Burleson said, showed that
the Chicago postofhoe clerks, union at
tempted to solicit contributions of 500
each from number of business men
''who were patrons of the Chicago post
office"
The Postmaster General said such
practices were in violation of warning
given by the postoffce department in
1918, and consequently the removal was
ordered in conformity with the notice
promulgated at that time.
The Postmaster General made public
the report of postofiioe inspectors which
says:
''The advertising campaign carried on
by the Chicago postof6ce clerks union
has been misleading to the public, un-
called for and reprehensble and was
continued or renewed both in their meet
ings and in the public press after we
had interviewed them and expressed
our opinion fully To them in regard TO
the matter We believe their conduct in
this respect fully justifies removal, but
in the matter Of the soliciting Of contri-
buttons from the public there is undeniabe
evidence of distinct and fragrant violations
of section i7l of the postal laws and reg
ulations which have not been salts
factorily responded 10 and cannot be
condoned"

general manager Of the company, stated
that he believed the employees were suiIi-
GENTLY informed as to the critical finan-

Johnson Fare Box Co. of Chicago. ILL.,,
yesterday interviewed the officials OF the
company regarding the installation of the
boxes here. The company expects to

will be cut off the rear seat, 10 be sur
rounded by a lifting rail and this will

EXTRA SESSION SEPT. 70

More Time Needed for Registra-

Richie Explains.

Baltimore, Sept 2-tiovernor Ritchie
announced last evening that he would call
the Legislature into secial session To con-
vene Monday. September 20, TO enact
legislation providing additional rogistra-
tion and election facilities To handle
womcn's votes The formal call, the
Governor said, would hc iss,ied promptly
In a statement setting forth the neces-
sity for an extra session, the Governor ln-
cluded careful calculation as to the
number of women who could be
registered If there were only the two days
in the counties now provided, and the
number who would he deprived of oppor-
tunity 20 register

stated that his influence would be Ised
To prevent consideration Of any legisla-
tion not fairly related To the subject of
the call. 'no matter from what party il

that, with the backing Of public opinion,
he may be able 10 hold the sessions of the

reasons for taking a step so important

"ThoIs is no doubt that the present
time for registration is so short that
even on the most conservative basis
thousands of Maryland women would be

need for relief is clear. and no relief
is possible except through an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature.
Two objections have been raised
The first is the cost But the cost of

l6 days, was only sl9,SO0 There is no
sound reason why an extra session now
