tspsoIaI 70 rhe DaIIy workerl

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 30.-Alberto
j. PAM, finance minister in the Cal.
les cabinet will drop his portfolio
next week. Owing to serious differ.
ences with Gales over the policy to
be adopted towards the catholic
church and the American oil and min,
ing interests PAM has been slated to
go for long time.
Church Is Defeated.
While the catholic agitation was at
its height and the attitude of the
American government was still In
doubt, Gales hesitated to give PAM
walking papers. Now that the church
has suffered a complete defeat and
the Washington policy towards Mexi
co is definitely one Of noninterfer,
ence on the religious question, Cal
les is in position to force all those
who are at loggerheads with his pol
icy, out Of the government.
That PAM was a secret tool Of the
church inside the cabinet is indicat-
ed by the fact that he is being talked
Of in clerical circles as a possible
candidate against Gales in the 1925
elections.

COOLIDGE MUST
Be SAVED BY
POSTMASTERS
Instruction Is Issued by
Chief Harry New
BY LAURENCE TODD, Fed. Press.

BY LAURENCE TODD, Fed. Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. - That
Postmaster General Harry New has
in fact sent out to $4,000 postmasters
a "brazen invitation" to get busy po-
litically" to save congress for Coo
lidge, is the charge made by the Ma.
tional Civil Service Reform League.
In its official organ, Good Govsrn-
ment, the league analyses News re-
cent circular on the restrictions APP
plying to political, activity, by federal
employees.
while accurately stating the poll
tical prohibitions applying to en-
ployes and officials of the post office
department" says the league, "the
postmaster general so interprets
these restrictions and SO emphasizes
the asserted political rights and pri-
vileges' of postal employees thru the
use Of italics, as to nullify the plain
intent of the law"
Harry Is Old Hand.
Harry New is an old and seasoned
Indiana machine politician, and his
manipulation of spostoflce appoint
ments and postal personnel legisla-
uon has been SO tricky as to bring
down upon him at intervals the
wrath of the civil service reform or
ganization.
Thus Harry New announces that
ordinary civil service employees In
his department must refrain from
"puhlIo activity and management Of
political campaigns" but that post
masters appointed by the president
"are allowed to take such a part
In political campaigns as Is taken
by any private citizen"
Now watch your postmaster in the
congressional campaign.
