" Believe Appropriation for Purpose Will
Influence the Postmaster
General
Bu a Staff Corrtspondrnt
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. The Hondo of
Representatives today refused specifically
to direct Postmaster General Burleson to
continue the pneumntlc mall tube service
In every city whero It In now maintained.
Tills action leaves It very doubtful whether
the mnll tube service will bo continued In
Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis and Chicago,
despite the fact that both the Senato mid
House have appropriated for another yenr's
rental.
The Postmaster C5ener.il has iiittdn It
plain to Congress that ho would substitute
automobile service for the pneumatic tuba
ervlce In every city except New Vork,
unless forced to extend the pneumatic
Service by ConKrcsslon.il direction.
Hepresentatlvcs of the Philadelphia trade
bodies who have been flRhtlnir lo retain the
pneumatic tube service do not foresee any
trreat danger In the action taken by the
House of Representatives today In refusing
specifically to direct Postmaster (Jeneral
Burleson to continue the service. Kmll T
Albrecht, secretary of the Hourse, com
menting on the nctlon of the House, said:
"I foreshadowed this action while talk
ing with several friends about two weeks
ago. 1 did not believe the Mouse would
agree to accept the compulsory amendment
made by the Senate on the Moor. It is a
case of give and take The bill must be
nt In conference with the two legislative,
branches, and I believe It will bo agreed
Upon to accept the Senate amendment.
"To accept the amendment on the door
Would be setting a precedent that the House
does nto want to establish, It Is a case
f practical politics, as I see It. The Houso
will have tho opportunity of trading with
the Senate on aomo other Issue. '
"It must be remembered that the Houe
'tias also passed the appropriation measure
for the maintenance of the pneumatic tube
ervlce, nnd, despite tho reported position
of the Postmaster (.encral to the effect
that he will substitute automobile service
for the tube service, I doubt if lie will
uphold that position and not use the ap
propriation funds for the purpose for which
they were provided
"After all, the Postmaster (Icneral Is
like the President He Is an odlcer tinder
the 'President and must uphold and en
force" the laws of the country This in
cludes the' appropriation laws that are
passed by the legislative bodies. They nre
the mandates of the people "
CYNWYD WOMEN URGED
TO HELP HOUSING FIGHT
State Federation's Civics Chairman
Says Industrial Activity Has Greatly '
Aggravated Problem
The housing of six men In one room, the
habitation of thousands of daik cellar, the
breeding of Immorality through overcrowded
conditions and the coupling up of the
drink problem with that of bad housing
were dwelt upon by Mrs. II. (!. Cochrane,
chairman of civics of the State Federation
ef Pennsylvania Women, who made an ad
dress today on "Housing and Temperance"
to the Women's Club of Cynwyd In the
Church of the Covenant at Cynwyd.
Mrs. Cochrane said the public was under
the Impression that present prosperity arid
the plenitude of Jobs had favorably tnndl
,fled the housing problem. The upposlto Is
true, according to the speaker.
Prosperity lias nmplltled the problem. In
creased Industrial activity and brought
thousands of additional workers to the
city who must be housed somewhere, and
the line of least resistance seems to be the
placing of two, three or more families In
houses built for one.
"This condition." said Mrs. Cochrane,
"quickly leads to the foundation of the
tenement. Owners find It vastly mote pin
fl table to draw rent from three families
than from one."
For the elimination or housing evils
Mrs. Cochrane suggested that serious at
tention be paid to city planning and that
factory and mill owners be urged to s;e
that their best Interests lie in the proper
housing of their employes.

of the heads of both medical Intltti

The larger number of saloons already lo
cated In ihe Tenth Ward Is one of the Ftrong
arguments that the "liooxeless Parkw.ty"
advocates will advance nt the hearings.
There Is n saloon to every seventy-live teg
steied voters 111 the ward, according 'In I,.
W. Fountain, house manager nf the I'ential
Y M. C. A. This, lie asserts, Is a utrnng
legal point. In view of the recent opinion of
tho Supreme Court that it Is not necessary
to have a saloon for every inn votets.
Mr. Fountain said:
"We can't conceive Hie Inlluentlal men.
merchants, advocates nf civic betterment
and politicians, who have spent years fight
ing for the Parkway, allowing It to he
spoiled by saloons, huge electric heer signs
and the lesults of the saloon that can be

understand why a isltnr arriving at Broad

sight at the foot of our Parkway. Often,
the visitor cannot sen tho entire city, hut

FREEDOM OF
THE SEAS
BY W.C. BULLITT
TTOMORROW the Public Ledger
will publish an article by Mr.
W. C. Bullitt wherein it is shown
that "freedom of the seas" is not a
phrase designed to cover Germany's
attempt to cripple British sea power,
but a strictly American proposal,
with a much broader interpretation
than that usually given it.
The unhindered passage of mer
chantmen in time of war is of vital
importance to America today as one
means of averting the menace of
a German-Russian-Japanese alliance
after this war ends.
Mr. Bullitt advances a number
of new and very pertinent argu
ments, and shows how President
Wilson interprets the. phrase.
