Postoffice Department
Blames Mail Delays on
Congestion of Railroads
Issues Statement in Reply to
Criticisms, Affirming That
Policy of Economy Is Not
Detrimental to Good Service
BY RALPH SMITH
WASHINGTON. Jan. 15—The post-
I office department has prepared an of
ficial statement In answer to the press
criticisms that have been aimed at the
mail service.
The statement is general In charac
ter and takes no notice of individual
• or special criticisms, since the depart
ment appreciates the very obvious and
i very well known fact that from time
immemorial there have occurred occa
sional instances of the miscarriage of
mail, or unprecedented and Inexplicable
delays in the delivery of certain letters.
It seems pertinent to recall, in this
connection, that some of the newspapers
so violently complaining about the mail
service published not so long ago a
widely circulated story about the de
livery at Denver, Col., of a letter that
was posted before the Civil war. Where
that letter had been all these years
was not stated.
The department emphasizes that the
delay in the transmission of mail, i i
general, has been due to the same
causes that explained the delay in
freight and express and passenger train
service, viz: the unprecedented conges
tion of the railroad system.
The prompt and expeditious trans
mission of the mails depends, of course,
about railroad train schedules and rail
road train connections. It is pertinent,
therefore, to remark that during the
I month of November, 1917, there were
87,712 failures by mail trains to make
their scheduled connections.
There was here in Washington an
, instance where a mail car was “lost”
I by the railroads through no fault of
1 the postoffice department; It was side
tracked for several days in the yards,
and hundreds of mall pouches, contain
ing thousands of letters, were diverted
from the regular channels and delay el.
The postoffice department announced
this fact through the press and penal
ized the railroads for their careless
ness.
The explanation sufficed for most of
the complainants, but In the case of
one editor in the south the delay of
an individual letter among these pouches
was made the subject of a violent at
tack on the postoffice department and
the postmaster general.
The statement of the department
comprehensive and interesting. fol
lows:
Statement of Department
Newspapers complaining editorially
of delay in the mail associate this with
the fact that under the administration
of Mr. Burleson the postal service has
been economically administered and a
large surplus of postal revenues has
been turned in to the general fund of
the treasury.
In effect the criticisms of the post
office department are aimed at the pol
icy of economical administration and
the complaints of delay in the delivery
of mail are citations in support of the
antagonism toward the curtailment of
unnecessary and extravagant expendi
tures.
The gravaman of the complaints ap
pear to be that 15,000,000 or 19,000,-
000 has been saved to the government
from the postal revenues and turned
fnto the treasury, and that the delays
in the edllvery of mail which have been
occasioned by traffic conditions, like
those In the delivery of all freight, ex
press and In the passenger service of
railroads, are chargeable to a policy of
the department which has curtailed ex
travagant and useless expenditures of
public moneys.
So far as has appeared in any edi
torial criticism of this sort which has
come to the attention of the department
no attempt has been made to indicate
how by the expenditure of more money
—by the restoration of a system of
prodigality of expenditure—the deliv
ery of mail could be made more prompt. I
Reports from all branches of the pos
tal service show promptness and effi
ciency in the handling of the mail at
this time in so far as the postal serv- i
ice is concerned, not surpassed in any
period of the history of deficiency which j
drew upon the taxpayers to support
this branch of the government that
should have been self-supporting. The
records of the department do not show
that efficiency has been promoted by ex
travagant expenditures.
Waste Avoided
Under the present administration of
the postoffice department the aim has
been to avoid wastefulness of public
money, no matter what privateor cor
porate interests might be served by ex
tranvagance: but no expenditure re
quired for the good of the service has
been cut off and not a dollar has been
saved at the sacrifice of efficiency. The
department welcomes criticisms and
suggestions of improvement of the serv
ice. and does not complain even of such
criticism as is unjust. But where the
public interests are equally concerned
in promptness and efficiency or service
and in the expenditure of money which
must be drawn from the pockets of the
taxpayers it is essential that an un
justifiable complaint of inefficiency in
the service should not be made an ex
cuse for reckless expenditure of public
money without resultant benefit.
Reports on the daily operations of the
railway mail service, the postoffices and
I city delivery—all that is under the con
i trol of the postoffice department—show
that the mail, though presented in great
er volume than before in the history of
the country, is being handled more expe
' ditiously by the postal employees than
lin previous years. There is no indica
t tion of where by more liberal lawful ex
penditure of money in any branch of the
service under the control of
ment of mail could be facilitated.
That there has been delay, sometimes
quite serious, in the transmission of the
mails is a matter of public knowledge
not disputed by the department. But this
Is no more due to the inefficiency In the
administration of the postal service than
is delay, which is much greater than
that of the mails, in the delivery of
freight and express carrying the neces
sities of life to merchants for dlstribu-
• tion.
Congestion Brings Delay
The congestion of the railroad system
of the country, which has resulted in de
privation and suffering to the public
• through fuel and fobd shortage, has re
-1 cently made necessary the taking over
of the entire system by the governnxent
The postoffice department is no more re
sponsible for the delay in the delivery of
a letter than it is for the delay in the
delivery .n coal and sugar, and. were
additional sums expended much In ex
cess of the surplus of the past ten years,
the mail could in no wise be expedited.
The postoffice department has regular
ly received telegraphic reports from all
branches of the service, and these re
ports show that, notwithstanding an in
crease of above 25 per cent in first class
matter and approximately 40 per cent In
parcel post, there was a marked improve
ment in the service during 1917, as com
oared with that of other years. A large
volume of packages heretofore handled
by express companies has been diverted
to parcel post by the public to facili
tate its deliver. The reports on the
THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GA.. FRIDAY, JANUARY 18. 1918.
holiday season show that with this enor
'mous increase in the volume of mail the
only point where a congestion occurred
in a postoffice was at Washington, D. C.,
and the congestion there was due to fail
ure on the part of the railroads to fur
nish sufficient cars, the mall matter
through this office, by reason of its be
ing the gateway to army cantonments
and mobilization camps, having been in
creased to at least ten times the normal
amount.
The delay in the transmission of the
mail, like that of freight, express and
passenger service, is due to the conges
tion of the railroad system. During the
month of November, 1917, there were 86.-
712 failures by mail’trains to make their
scheduled connections. One of the most
important mail trains carrying mail of
i Washington. Philadelphia, Baltimore and
j points west failed Sully 70 per cent of
the time during the past four months,
and the principal train between New
York and Chicago failed 71 times of its
southwest connection during three
months and 57 times of its northwest
connection. •
Handling Mail Prompt
The distribution and handling of
mail at all post offices is on a defin
ite and prompt schedule. The failure
of a train to make its connection oper
ates to delay the handling of that mail
until the next delivery', which in some
cases means the next day. It also pilese
up the load of mall of the delayed
train with that of trains to follow,
enormously increasing the work to be
done by the postal clerks** within the
limited time between deliveries. Yet
these deliveries have not been delayed
nor schedule of deliveries changed. As
rapidly as the mail has been delivered
to the postoffices by the railroads it
has been distributed and delivered at
its destination. The department is not
criticising the railroads for the exis
tence of conditions, but in all fairness,
it is felt bythe perpartment, that the
delay in mails, it should be known by
the public, is due entirely to railroad
congestion, and should be measured up
against the delay in other railroad traf
fic. The result of such a comparison
would disclose marvelous efficiency
on the part of the postal service. The
postal service has delivered its mail as
rapidly as it received it and made a
better record in 1917 under more ad
verse conditions, than any previous
year.
The fact that in addition to improv
ing the service, |9.000p00 has been
paid into the general fund of the
treasury by the postoffice department
should not be made a subject of com
plaint. Nor should inconvenience to
the public resulting from war conditions
which are felt with respect to all
forms of traffic, should not be made
an excuse for demanding the unneces
sary expenditure of postal service
revenues, when benefit could not re
sult from such additional expenditure.
Foetal Employes’ Pay
The implication in some criticism
that inefficiency has resulted from poor
pay to the postal employes, is not jus
tified by the records of the department
or testimony of employes before the
committee of congress.
The economy accomplished by the
department has not Involved a reduc
tion of the salary of any of the em
ployes. These salaries are fixed by law.
In the report for the year ending
June 30, 1916, Postmaster General
Bulreson said:
“It has been the earnest effort of the
department to fix the standard rates of
pay for the different classes of work
at from 15 to 30 per cent above the
average rates paid for similar services
by the leading commercial institutions
of the country. The same rule has been
followed throughout the postal service
in fixing salaries that are not fixed by
law. Whenever an employe or a group
of employes is found to be receiving
salaries below the standard, the depart
ment will make an effort to secure ap
propriate Increases. It is the depart
ment’s desire to maintain not only a
living wage for all its employes, but by
the adoption of every safety appliance
possible to establish sanitary and com
fortable working conditions for both de
partmental and postal service employes
and in no case to require of any postal
employe more than eight hours’ work in
any one day.”
Mr. Burleson adheres to this policy
in dealing with the employes of the de
partment.
Mother Burned Saving
Child From Flames
Mrs. A. E. Nelson, 18 West Ormond
street, was painfully burned about the
hands and arms Wednesday morning,
while extinguishing the flames which
seriously burned her son, A. E. Nelson.
Jr. The child caught fire near an open
grate and his life was probably saved
by the quickness with which Mrs. Nel
son rolled him in the bed clothes.
Mother and son were taken to Grady
hospital where the announcement was
made that Mrs. Nelson’s burns were not
serious and that the boy would recover.

GREAT REPAIR SHOPS TO
BE BUILT IN SIXTY DAYS
-
Mackie Constructipn Company
Awarded Contract—Eagan
Tract Is Selected
Flans were being made Wednesday to
rush to completion within sixty days
the mammoth government repair shops,
to be located in Atlanta on the John
J. Eagan tract, immediately south of
and adjoining the Fort McPherson gov
ernment reservation. The contract for
the construction of the shops was
awarded in Washington on Tuesday to
the Mackie Construction company, of
Atlanta.
Colonel Edgar B. Stayer, of the quar
termaster department, who severa'
weeks ago was sent to Atlanta to
recommend a site, has opened offices a
-605 Forsyth building, and will supervise
>the work of construction. Wlien com
plete the plant will have cost between
J 1,500,000 and >2,000,000 and will em
ploy enlisted men, in addition to fifty
four officers.
The completion of the repair shops
will make Atlanta the center of all th<
automobile, motorcycle, harness, cloth
ing and tentage repairs in the south
eastern section. Equipment of all kinds
from the twenty or more army camps
in the southeast will constantly be sent
to the Atlanta shops for repairs. Ac
cording to Colonel Stayer Wednesday
there will not be a single day’s time
lost in beginning construction work.
The shop will be 510 by 312 feet and
will have a capacity of 150 motor trucks
at a time. The repair of other equip
ment, such as touring cars, motorcycles,
soldiers’ clothing and shoes, can be
looked after at the same time.
The non-commissioned officers and en
listee! men will Be quartered in twenty
barracks buildings, and in this connec
tion there will be erected also five mess
halls, five baths, one hospital, one store
house, one administration building, of
ficers’ quarters and garage.
According to Colonel Stayer, the re
pair shop unit will need of many skilled
mechanics, such as auto repairmen
wheelwrights, plumbers, carriage pel nt'
ers, magno-electric men, storage battery
men and car testers. He declares that
the commissioned officers of the uni
will be made up of the personnel of
the unit, and In view of this inducement
it is expected that a large number of
skilled workmen will gather for induc
tion into the unit.
Colonel Stayer will gladly give in
formation at his offices in the Forsyth
building to any persons desiring to en
list in this unit. He says there has
been an erroneous report that men of
selective service age could not enlist
for the repair units. Those of selctive
service age who desire to enlist in this
unit are urged to pall upon Colonel
Stayer.
Particularly are skilled mechanics
urged to see <Tolonel Stayer.
One Million Net Is
Cleared by Convicts
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 16.—The trus
tees ot the penitentiary have paid into
tne state treasury the sum of >520,000 on
account of sales of cotton and cotton
seel a few weeks ago. This makes about
>750,000 already paid in on this account,
and the trustees state that they have 2,-
000 mere bales to sell, as well as several
carloads, of seed.
It Is also stated that the convict farms
have produced and housed about 100,000
bushels of corn in excess of what they
need to run the big plantations on this
year. It has been predicted all along
that the Mississippi convict farms of
25,000 acres will place >1,000,000 net,
over and above all expenses, in the state
treasury on account of last year’s crop
of cotton.

BNERNMENT TO SiIPPLI
NITHATES TO FARMERS
Assistant Secretary of Agri
culture Wilkinson Makes Im
portant Announcement
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Jan. 15.—Mell |
R. Wilkinson, of Atlanta, assistant sec- |
retary of agriculture, in charge of the
distribution of fertilizers, has informed
Congressman Charles R. Crisp that the
federal government finally has perfect
ed arrangement for supplying southern
cotton farmers with adequate fertilizer !
for next year’s crop. The announce- ;
ment will be read with interest not j
alone by the farmers of Georgia, but 1
all branches of industrial and commer- '
cial activity whose prosperity and sue- I
cess depends upon the cotton crop.
According to Mr. Wilkinson, a ship ,
from Chile will dock a»t fjavannah on ,
or about February 1, with 18,000 tons I
of nitrate of soda for distribution to the '
farmers of Georgia. The fertilizer will |
be sold to the farmers at cost, plus I
freight from South America to Savan- I
nah. The price will be >76 per ton F. ■
O. B. Savannah, which is considerably
cheaper than the farmers could buy it
from fertilizer manufacturers. The
price of nitrates from private manufac
turers, one-ton lots, is about >125 per
ton. Thus the government will lessen
the cost to the farmer by nearly >SO
per ton.
Mr. Wilkinson explained to Congress
man Crisp that the fertilizers for Geor
gia would be distributed by the govern- ■
ment, through an agency at Savannah,
only to individual farmers at the price
quoted on the written order of the local
county farm demonstrators in each
county. He emphasized that each order
must be accompanied by cash, certified
check or New York exchange, since the
government can’t open any charge ac
counts where there are no local farm
demonstrators.
The government has purchased, all
told, 100,000 tons of Chilean nitrates
for the use of American fanners in the
production of their next crop. While it
is probable that in ordinary times the
farmers use In excess of this quantity
of fertilizer, the government hopes to
make the 100,000 tons meet the require
ment by rigidly regulating its distribu
tion. That is one of the reasons why
the government’s nitrate importation
will be sold only to individual farmers
on the recommendation of county
agents. Tn no circumstances wtll the
government permit any one farmer to
secure a larger quantity of fertilizer
than he actually requires.
Senators and members of congress,
especially from cotton producing states,
recently have been deluged with letters
and telegrams from farmers making in
quiries about the distribution of the
Chilean nitrate. On that account the
statement of Mr. Wilkinson to Congress
man Crisp will be read with widespread;
interest in Georgia.
Kt the last session of congress an ap- i
propriatlon of >10,000.000 was made for I
the purpose of purchase and distribution j
of nitrates by the government, in an- j
ticipation of the shortage in America.

New York, N T. —In a recent discourse Dr. E.
Sauer, a Boston physician who ba* studied wide
ly both In thi* country and in great European
medical institutions, sstd: “If yon were to
make an sctnal blood test on all people who
are ill you would probably be greatly astonished
at the exceedingly large number who lack iron
and who are ill for no other reason than the
lack of iron. The moment iron is supplied a
multitude of dangerous symptoms disappear.
Without iron the blood at onee loses the power

the civil authorities, will face a charge
of interfering with an arrest.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to
morrow. Don’t lose a day’s work. Take
a spoonful of Dodson’s Liver Tone in
stead and you will wake up feeling
great. No more biliousness, constipa
tion, sluggishness, headache, coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don’t find Dodson’s Liver
Tone acts better than horrible calomel
your money is waiting for y<>u.—(Advt.)
