long enough to see the plain,
simple, broad cOmm0n-SenS0 fact
that the equal ALLEGATION Of costs
between unequal amounts OF mail.
matter and Of deliVery-speed u
just plainly contrary to reason.
The Bureaucratic Mind.
This same bureaucratic mind,
with this same Mr.. Stewart at the
forefront of it, invented the idea
of sorting mail standing still In
large central terminal" buildings
instead OF sorting it moving on
railroad cars.
That little invention saved some
pennies and has done moro to re-
tard and slow down the transit Of
the mails than any other device
since the Postofffce Department
was founded.
Equally characteristic Of bureau.
cracy was the zeal with which Mr..
Stewart opposed the bill signed
by President Taft for allowing
postal employees to petition Con-
gress regarding the terms Of their
employment.
The postoffice bureaucracy, typi
fled and led by Mr.. Stewart, does
not want the postal employees to
have any contract with the repre-
sentatives of the people and 1t does
not want to have the pay Of the
postal employees raised except in
the manner which the bureaucracy
itself has. invented and suggested.
The POstOffice Threat.
III Congress dares to raise the
pay of the postal employees In any
other manner, then the p0stOffice
bureaucracy comes forward with
81 ,OO0, 900 worth Of statistical
absurdities under which Il threatens
virtually all users of the mails with
additional charges for the use Of
the mails IL they In their turn
should dare in newspapers or else
where to support the Congress
siOnal postal pay increase plan.
That is the root OF the present
postal pay and postage increase
situation in Congress. MIR. Stewart,
master mind of the POstOffice
bureaucracy, liz going to have the
postal pay increase settled his way
or else he il going to try TO
lnfimidate all the users Of the
mails.
! There is no reason why they
should be intimidated. AS has been
shown, and az will further be
shown, their rates, except In one
instance, need not on any ground
Of good reason be put up at all.

Rival Polls of Senate
On Postal Pay Increase
Result i'm Conflicts

Two rival polls Of the Senate on
President Coolidge's veto OF the
postal wage increase bill were made
public today. The Senate Is sched-
uled to vote on the veto Tuesday.
Senator Sterling R) OF South
Dakota, consistent Administration
supporter, announced that his poll
indicated the veto would be sus.
tanned by a margin Of at least two
votes.
Representatives of postal en-
ployes. on the other hand, disputed
Sterling's figures and said their
count Of Senatorial noses showed
five votes more than necessary to
defeat President Coolidge and Al
ministration forces.
I'VE have enough votes pledged to
sustain the Veto" was Sterling'B
laconic statement.
"The worry is all over. We have
Just completed thorough canvass
OF the Senate and have secured
pledges Of sufficient votes to over
ride the Veto" declared Thomas F.
Flaherty, secretary-treasurer Of the
National Federation Of Postoffice
Clerks.
Sterling Bill Attacked.
Flaherty and Edward J. Gainor.
president of the National Associa-
ton Of Letter Carriers, joined in q
statement attacking the Sterling
bill increasing postal rates.
THAT bill is a fraud and a
deception upon the American
people" said Flaherty. ut was
conceived by the Post Office
the salary increase measure. The
figures of the Department, showing
loss of approximately $74,000 900
in second class mail, newspapers
and magazines, are erroneous.
That reputed deficit was shown to
solidify newspaper editors against
the salary bill"
Report Being Prepared.
Meanwhile, the Senate postal
committee. done with open hear
ings on the Sterling bill, pressed
forward privately today with its
report on the measure. Senator
! Moses, RepublicanJ of New
Hampshire, chairman, said he hoped
to be able to present the report to
the upper chamber before the veto
vote Tuesday.
Several members Of the com.
mittee, it was learned today, are
endeaVoring to have brought in a
report recommending temporary
postal increases for one year. In
the meantime, Congress would
have an opportunity to study fully
the whole question of postal rate
revision and recommend permanent
legislation.

WORLDS NARCOTIC PRODUCTION

Committee Show.

The appalling sWIftuC>S with which

War is told by John Palmer GaVit,
former New York newspaper editor,
Figures gathered by the opium ad-
Nisory committee of the League Of
Nations show that narcotic drugs are
manufactured in quantities ten times
as great as even the most generous
estimates Of legitimate medical and
scientific needs allow, hn says.

SmugEle. especially with the push of
western criminal genius behind the

The opium advisory council of the
League of Nations estimated the
amount of opium and crude cocaine
needed for medical and scientific pur-
poses by the part of the worlds popu-

II the opium advisory committee Of

ration supplies among the nations.
and the production of manufactured
narcotics could be controlled at the
factories. With the cooperation OF
the various governments the trade
could be very we'll patrolled. for the
factories are few and the governments
know where TO find them.
