"A Hard Path Interferes
With Quick Mail Delivery

This is season of the year when
the letter carriers. both city and
rural. learn who their friends are.
After a snow storm much time is
lost by the carriers by having to
wade through the snow to reach the
mail rcccptacles along their routes,
when n few moments shoveling
would clear the way for them. This
winter is. OF course, something of an
exception. and the carriers appreci-
ate more than ever when the way is
made as easy for them as possible.
In many cases a hard path means
A. a DELAYED delivery. as the carriers
ARE allowed but Il certain number
sCf hours before they must report to
the office again. Many times the
rural carriers leave their teams and
wade to the boxes and this they are
not expected to do. If access to the
box Ia not to be made without incon-
venience. they are supposed to re-
turn the mail until such time as the
way to the box is cleared.

TOO MUCH DEAD
MATERIAL FOUND
IN THE CHURCH
Pastor Shows How New Life
May Be Brought Into
Church Activities,

III the church is going to be saved
1t must return unto the faith OF the
Father and unto the cardinal truths
Of the goslep," the Rev. Charles H
Gunsolus declared Sunday night at
the Brghtwood Congregational
Church
THE church is carrying too much
dead material and cannot survive IN
less this dead material is either
brought to life or cast out as no
good" he said Nine times out OF
ten when a minister cannot get along
with his congregation the latter Is TO
blame
The preacher who dares to tell Is
going to find hts pathway blocked BY
the dead material OF his own church.
It r. not the world or tho sinners out
side the church that IS holding back
the progress OF Christianity. but IL is
the sick h0Ifdead members already
affiliated with the church and who are
only fault finders and bench warmers.
"A young minister OF this day and
age finds very little 20 encourage him
along the spiritual way, either socially
or financially. The secret Of success
Of the church lies IN the young people.
If tho church IS to be saved It
must not compromise with the world
~ pleasures and amusement7.
THE church must teach the
eanctity OF the home and more re-
spect for the marriage laws" the Rev
Gunsolus said.

INVESTIGATION OF
MINE FUND ASKED

Investigation Of the uses made Of
an alleged $4,000. 900 annual war
chest secured by the United Mine
Workers OF America through the
CHECK off" system. and complete
abolition or regulation of that system,
is requested Of the United States Coal
Commission in a letter from counsel
for the bituminous operators special
committee, made public here today
Charging union leaders compel the
operators to serve as tax collectors by
requiring them TO deduct these as
sessments from the pay Of the work
ers," Col. Henry L. Stimson and
Goldthwaite Dorr, who signed the
letter, charge that the funds thus
raised constitute the commissariat OF
a tightening labor monopoly.
The further charge is made that
crime in the interest Of extending the
unions power is encouraged by the
knowledge that unlimited funds are
available for the defense of indicted
offenders against law.
