HAMILTON' WRITES
OPENING LETTER.
The first letter was written by Arthur
\V. Hamilton, assistant money-order
cashier. It follows in part:
••The Improvement of the Postal Service
1s to lie paramount issue with all of the
S'to.OCd j ostal employes of the country,
duri :g t :e present week.
•The question naturally arises, how is
the Postal Scr--;v to he improved? The
single w rd—cooperation.
“The pub!:., demands, and l as the right
to expect, an efficient postal service. Be
ing a man-made ins f ltution. it is quite
natural that from ,i:ne to time. Imper
fections will develop that tend to mar the
efficiency ..f the Postal Service, and cause
some postal patron to find fault with the
service rendered. Such imperfections are
the consequence of one of two things—
erher he Postal Service or the patron
has 'slipped a cog.’
“CONSTK ITTIVE
f HIT* I'M- ASKED.
"We want you to cooperate by bringing
your grit-vane s up here to the postoffice,
not in a spirit of hostile criticism, but
tell us your troubles and as a result of
the good-humored interchange of
thoughts Mol Meas relative to the .subject
nt hand, you are bound to receive better
service. You will then have helped your
self and the' postal service and we will
have helped you.
"One of the big features in connection
with po vil improvement is the mail
early campaign now being conducted
Here is where all patrons, both the large
atol small matters, can ‘improve’ their
own individual postal service. By all
means, mail early. If you don’t get the
mail into the posroffiee. the postoffice
can’t get It out. Mail early and the divi
dends you receive will surprise you.

JUNE WHEN
COAL IS GONE
Special to Indian i T- :’y Times
and Philadelphia Pub’tc Ledger.
WASHINGTON, May Continuation
of the coal strike and failure of the non
union bituminous mines to In reave their
present output of approximately S3,SOu.(EH)
tons weekly, a shortage condnior doubt
less will be felt in various sections about
the middle of Juno.
That is live conclusion of the experts
of the coal bureau of the United State'
Chamber of Commerce, reached after a
study of coal conditions. Summing up
the situation as of April 22, the report
of the bureau says:
"On April 1 the stock of coal in the
hands of railroads, industrial consumers,
public utilitb sand retailers was approx
imately Ch.OtJO.OoO tons. Adding 4,200,<i00
tons at the docks at the head of the
lakes an! a’so to 1.400.000 tons of un
billed coal on . and on April 1 there was
a total <>f about fiS.tPU.tKMi tons above
ground April 1. As coal stock can not
drop below 20‘ • IO.fIOO tens without caus
ing a ceil pare.-. 4'ti'l>.'*> tons could be
consum'd before shortage conditions ap
peared. Add and to this total must be the
non-union output of 3..->OO.OOO tons.
"At present the average wvklv eon
sumption of bituminous >ui is estimated
to be 5.100.0u0 tons weekly. Therefore,
supply from the non-union fields is fail
ing short f meeting consumption at the
rate of -i.'-bo/tOo tens a week. Unless
there is an im-rease in the production
from non-union fields, a shortage will be

GOMPERS SEES
BASE BETRAYAL
In American Recognition of
Soviet Russia.
Sportal to Indtar.a Pally T!m
a: <1 Philadelphia I’ubiie Ledger
CHICAGO. May —American rocnaml
tlon of Soviet Russia would constitute
nothing less than a "needless and base
betrayal of civilization," Samuel Gom
j>ors, president of the American Federa
tion* of Labor, asserted In a statement
which voiced the fervent hope there would
bo no change In the present policy of the
United States, even though recognition
la accorded Russia hy the nations par
ticipating in ttie Genoa conference.
In making the assertion, Mr. Gornpers
said he was not unmindful of the amaz
ing growth of Bolshevist propaganda in
the Unitc.j Stages and the activities of the
so-called American-An rlo-German inter
national bankers, whlTit constitutes the
most dang'-rons element in tlsa pro-Bol
shevist effort !n Amo tea.
"The Truth is.” declared Mr. Gomper,
“predatory International finance has its
appetite up and believes It sees loot in
Russia."
Foch Day Book

book prepared by the Indiana Historical
