CHARGE POSTAL SERVICE SLOW, DENY MEN JOBS Economy Policy Is Held Cause of Poor Delivery; Bar Substitutes. B y f'r'ppt-Hovari Jfnctpnpcr j.ritarce ' WASHINGTON. March 19 -Complalnfc of p-jor postal service In many l?jge dries are commencing to pour Into he office of Representative Clyde Kclloy (Pa), one of the most active men-bers of the house post office committee. Unless the complaints diminish in the next few months, Kelly indicated he would press for an investigation v The complaints, which came principally from large eastern cities, state that deliveries been .slowed tip greatly by anew economy program placed in effect following special surveys by postal inspectors/’ Kdly said. Substitutes Are Idle v Apparently thousands of substitute carriers and clerks have been unable to obtain work for months. This is due to the fact that regular carriers made idle by decreased deliveries are being shifted about to fill vacancies caused by sickness, thus depriving substitute carriers of opportunities for work. ’ Postmaster-General Walter F Brown told the house postal committee last month in response to a resolution by Representative John Boylan (N. Y), that between Jan. 1, 1930. and Jan 1, 1931. but 621 postal employes had been dropped from service Investigation Askod Representative Kelly declared today that, Brown’s information did not present a true picture of condition;. due, largely to the fact, that. Tie did not. take into consideration the number of substitute carriers who had been deprived of work during the year One complaint reaching Kelly from Brooklyn declared that, not, a single substitute carrier had been taken on from April to December. 1930. We believe conditions warrant a congressional investigation.'’ DRIFTS WiOO MILES Bottle. Croesi Nearly All of Mid* Pacific in Wanderings.
