The | statement follows, in part H “Newspapers compiaining cditorial- 1y of delay in the mail associate”this with the fact that under the admin- | istration of Mr. Burleson the postal serylce has been economically admin- | igtered and a large surplus of postal xz:vonuog has been turned into general fund of the treas feet the criticisms are poliey of economi and are citations tagonism to the easary and ury. In ef- med at the dministration support of an- ilment of un- expendi- in cur extravagant “Reports frem all branches of the postal service show promptness and ef- ficiency in the handling of the mail at this time, in so far as the postal ervice is concerned, not surpassed in any period in the history of the serv- ice, even when the expenditures were such as to produce a deficiency which drew upon the taxpayers to support this branch of the government, that should have been self-supporting. The record of the department do not show that efficiency has been prompt- ed by extravagant expenditures. “Under the preseni administration of the post office department the aim has been to avoid astefulness of public money, no matter what privata or corporate interests might be served by extravagance; but no expenditure required for the good of the has been cut off and not a dollar has been saved at the sacrifice of eof- ficiancy. There is no indication of her more liberal lawful expenditure of in any branch of the service the control of the department the delivery of mail could be facil- itated Not Responsi “That there times quite serious, ston of the mails is a matter of pub- lic knowledge not disputed by the de- partment.

Post Office department regularly received telegraphic reports from all branches of the service, and these reports show that, notwithstand- ing an increase of above per cent in first-class matter and approxi- ma 40 per cent. in parcel post, there was o marked improvement in the service during 1917 as compared with that of other years, A . large volume of packages heretofore handled Ly express companies has been di- verted to parcel post by the public {o facilitate its delivery. The reports on the holiday season show that with | this enormous increase in the volume of mail, the only point where a con- gestion occurred in a post office was Washington, D. C. nd the con- | sstion there was due to failure part of the railroads to furnis suflicient rcars, the mail matter through this office, by reason of its being the gateway to army canton- ments and mobilization camps, hav- ing been increased to at least ten times 1 the normal amount “The delay in the transmission of | the mail, like that of freight, express, and passenger service, is due to the congestion of the railroad system. Dur- ing November, 1917, there were 86,- 712 failures by mail trains to make | their scheduled connection One of | the most important mail trains carr) ing mail of Washington, Philadelphia, satimore, and points failed fully 70 per cent. of the time during the last four manths, and the princi- pal train between New York and Chicago failed 71 times of its south- we: connection during three months and 57 times of its northwest conne tion. that inefficiency has resulted poor pay to the postal employes, not justified by the records of the de- partment or testimony of employes he- fore the committee of congre The has | economy accomplished by the depart- ment has not involved a reduction of the salary of any of the cmploves These salaries are fixed by law.’ from .
