HUMANIZING POSTAL SERVICE
By Frederic j. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2S.-soon after
Will II. Hays, late chairman of the Republican
National ami took charge OF the post
office department in the administrator o.
President Harding, he attracted countrywide
by declaring that the postal service
must be humanized. He said that the 3oo'ooo
employees or the postofice department were not
to be regarded las commodities, but that tney
should be made partners in the conduct Of a .ns
business; that having the brain and the hanu
to do the job well, they would be given the
heart also with which to carry on.
To prove that he was not utterlnS empty
words, Mr.. HAYS has gone into the thing thor-
oughly, and still is hard at work at the business
of humanizing the service which he heads. he
is trying to see all of the postal employees IL -
possible for him to meet. He mas Lalke1 ~ =,

GRADE CROSSING FINDINGS.

In declaring that the frequency with which
accidents occur at the grade crossings in the
city Of Perth Amboy is a forensic argumen in
tmpelling one to the conclusion that these
crossings are a danger and menace to human
life and property the grand jury correctly
sums up the local grade crossing situation by
adding that "the remedy lies in eliminating the
crossings so that it will be beyond any human
error in judgment to cause further loss of life
and property
While the grand jury in their probe found
several causes that had more or less to do with
the accident at the Market street crossing in
which nine volunteer fremen were killed, still
the basic responsibility is the fact that the Perth
Amboy grade crossings are the most dangerous
in the state. While several circumstances were
cited. all playing some part in the tragedy, it
was shown, however, that the fact that rail-
road trains are allowed to be operated at grade
was the real cause Of the recent disaster.
BY the presentment found by the grand jury
yesterday the city's fight against the crossings
here, which will be taken to the State Board
Of Public Utility Commissioners, will carry
added strength. The sweeping investigation
conducted by the grand jury and the COM
prehensive report on their findings, combined
with suggestions for permanent and temporary
relief for the situation, will carry much weight
in forcing action on the part of the railroads.
As It is only reasonable to assume that it will
be a long time, even though elimination of the
crossings might be ordered by the state board
in a short time. before actual relief will be given
the city, the grand jury makes several valuable
suggestions for improvements at the crossings.
In recommending that two gate men be en-
ployed at all times at each crossing and that
proper care and attention be given to the type
OF men selected for this work, the grand jury
advanced an idea that should be followed
by the'city and a demand made to the rail-
roads in that respect. Especially is the sug-
gestion that men alert in body and mind, who
are accurate in their Judgment in emergencies,
of vital Importance.
The city, backed up by the recommendations
Of the grand jury. and with the large amount
81 data and facts that can be presented, should
be enabled to make a concerted fight for grade
crossing elimination. The fight has proved a
stubborn one in the past. The coming action
will. perhaps, prove as formidable, except that
the recent tragedy, not SO easily forgotten Will
carry considerable weight when the demand for
an end of the dangerous crossings here is made
At the same time the city officials here should
to take all possible action to avert
fatality. The speed of the trains should
be watched at all times. reports should be made
Of any careless actions at the crossings gates
and the situation be kept in constant touch with.
The suggestions of the grand jury should be
followed up and the aid of that representative
body Of men be solicited whenever required In
the coming fight for the elimination of the
crossings here.

profess themselves in favor of disarmament.
These include Irenee du Pont, head of the
largest powder manufacturing concern in the
world, who says that 81 per cent. Of the ammu-
milton plants that served the needs Of the United
States and the Allies during the big war have
already been scrapped. They include Judge
Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Cor
poration; Hudson Maxim, inventor and pro-
prietor of various military weapons; H. E.
Talbot, Jr, president of the Dayton-Wright
Airplane Company, and other makers of war
materials of various kinds.
Some leading manufacturers are noticeably
lacking from the symposium, as are some Of
the big gun makers. 1t may not be fair, how
ever, to draw any invidious conclusion from
that fact, since the list does not profess to be
complete.
1t is enough to observe that there is a pro-
nounced feeling among American munition-
makers in favor Of disarming. even at the
expense of hurting their own business. The
feeling seems to be strong enough at least to
prevent any open propaganda or lobby on
behalf of the interests referred to. Thus one
Of the obstacles proves to be smaller than the
peace-makers have hoped.
None OF these men come out fatty for COM
plete disarmament. Mr.. du Poht says Acluahy
to disarm is as absurdly utopian as 1t would
be to discontinue the police force of a city on
the theory that everybody would be good. To
limit armament, or at least, to eliminate the
suicidal competition to obtain supremacy, ap-
peals to everybody's common sense. I hope
that sound public opinion will compel a limita-
ton of armament"
This is as much as the advocates OF the dis
armament conference haye asked and as much
as the public expects at this time. And now,
since those who sell the munitions seem to
agree with those who pay for them, let the
plans proceed.
