WILL DECENTRALIZE
POST OFFICE


Washington. - The postoffice de-
partment will be decentralized and
much red tape eliminated, according
to Postmaster General Hays.
1t is proposed to make unit of
each state. These units will handle
payment of claims, accounting, clear
ing of money orders, distribution of
supplies, inspection, instruction and
training and methods for speeding up
deliveries. Under the present system
these matters are handled from
Washington, and it is believed that
decentralization will result in quicker
service because of less red tape.

OPPOSE SECESSION

ward" is the way Editor Hohmann,
Of the Bakers Journal, describes a
group of secessionists in this city who
call themselves the international
workers of the amalgamated food in
dustries.
Every baker that joins their out
fit will weaken the present bakers
organization, says Editor Hohmann.
"If this outfit has any success it
will split the bakers into two unions,
for the majority of the bakers will
stand by their own union. The result
will be two unions in the baking in
dustry facing the united organization
of the master bakers. Yet these men
are called advanced unionists. They
are of the kind that takes one step
forward and two steps backward. We
trust every organized baker will Wig
orously resist the efforts of this or
ganization to recruit members from
the Bakers Union. They failed when
they broke away from the A. F. of
