BURLESON'S ATTITUDE
ON TUBES IS SCORED
Senators Say Postmaster Gen
cral Misstated Facts in
in Letter
VDMIT HIGH COST HERE
Members of Imcstigating Com
mittee Declare Pneumatic
Service S.ucs Time
Wellington Ma i
in a letter pent to cAcry member of j
ha Senate. Senators Banlrtieael, Hani I
vlclc ami Weeks, members of the
'onpresslonal Pneumatic Tubo Commls
lon. accused Toil master CJeneral Burle
on of nttemptlnrt unduly to Influenct
1'otes In the Senate against the retcn
Ion of the tubes as recommended In i
he report of the commission.
Sir. Burleson recently wrote a lettter
o each member of the Senate protest
ng against this recommendation In
lis annual rtport, h said lie "would
lot accept the pneumatic tubes as n I
?lft" Tho commission recommended
hat they be purclnsed and operated h
he Goeni'nent They are at present
ented at the rate of $17,500 a, mile In I
he cities where they are employed
'hlladelphla, New Yorlt, Iloston, Chicago I
ind St Louis '
It is charged by the three Senators '
Ignlng the letter that Mr Ilnrleson s i
etter not only qoutnlns "a number j
f KlniitiK mlstitatements of fact
mt that the Implied statements In the
nlssho 'Vannot be construed othni
han as a n attempt to prejudice the '
nlnds of Senators and to discredit the
enort of tho commission "
Irepurtinr ntsot Ignored I
Thp letter In part, follows : I
"Tho Postmaster CJeneral, apparently
lot content with having reie.itrdl ,
ecommended the abandonment of tube
ervlce, attempts further to Influence
he action cf Senators and present?
irguments against the utility alue of
'he tubes which he nnd his assistant
have heretofore repeatedly submitted to
"ngrcss. iery one of which weii pre
ented by the department to the rommls-
ion and. after carerul ronsluerutnn,
ivero decided adversely to tho contention
if the department
"The commission not only did not
gnore the depirtment during Its Inves-
llgatlon. but at the very outset re
(Uested the Postmaster tleneral to des
ignate one of his experts having knuwl-
"dge of tube service to asslpt the com-,
mission, which was done. The expert
rendered the commission valuable j
serv Ice.
"The Implied statement In his letter,
expressing legict that the commission
did not summon his olllclnlj having '
knowledge of the subject and that i
rtas Ignored, cannot be construed othei I
than an attempt to prejudice tho minds I
of Senators and to discredit the report
of the commission
HIkIi Cost In rlillndrlpliln
"Aside from the statements that the
cost of advancing each letter In Plilla- ,
delphla Is thirteen and one-half cents,
and that the cost per inllo of tube serv- '
Ice Is greater than tho cost of carrv Ing '
trie mall on all railroads entering New
York, three times as much as paid those
entering IJoston and one-'!ltli of tho i
entire cost of scieen wftgon automobile
Ice, the various ohjetclons to tube sei
lee pointed out bv the Postmaster Gen
eral are discussed and lonsldeud In the
leport of tho commission.
"Wo believe the otlu r .statements re
ferred to both as untrue and as having
an unfair tendency to Influence Senators,
who have not the time to make Inde
pendent Investigation of the facts, to
vote against tho recommendations of the
commission and tho Senate Postoftlco
Committee The Postmaster General In
Ills letter emphasizes the franchise lights
to be acquired under the legislation pro
posed, notwithstanding tint tho report
of the commission dlscusteii that feature,
and points out that no value Is attached
to franchise rights, slnco the. Govern"
inent Is not retpilred to procure a fran
chise, nnd the legislation proposed ipe
clfleally provides that no franchise con
ditions Imposing a charge shall be recog
nized. 'In the city of Chicago, under the
terms of the present franchise, tho
property in the streets shall vest In tho
city In 1023. The legislation proposed
directs tho Inteistate Commerce Com
mission In fixing a valuation of the sys
tems to tako into consideration such a
situation as exists In Chicago The city
Council of that illy ricently adopted a
resolution ieiuestlng Congress to con
tinue tho tubo service
DerlarrM Tube Nereisnry
'The present attitude of the Postmas
ter General regarding tubo service Is
contrary to the Judgment of tach pred
ecessor In office, of five congressional
Investigating lommlttees, Including ono
as late aj 1914, of which Senator lloko
Smith was chairman, and Joseph Stew
art, regarded as tho best nuthorlty on
postal affulrs In this country, was a
member, and of the expression of every
commercial, civic nnd business organi
zation concerned In tho public welfare
of the cities Involved that has taken tho
trouble or tho time to Investigate tho
question.
'During the hearings In each city
not a protest u raised against tho
service, but to tho contrarj all earn
estly contended that street congestion,
delajs and the uncertainty of automo
bile service, especially during periods of
severe storms, tho Importance of quick,
reliable nnd constantly available collec
tion and delivery of first-class mall
made it Imperative that the tubes be
retained "

Flood of Selects Coming Under
Latcs tCall Presents Hous
ing Problem
Ru o Staff Correspondent
Tanip Mrn.tr, Admiral, Mil.. May 4
How I.lttle Pent! Is to house the flood
of selects that will be called to tho colors
during the latter part t the month Is
a problem that Is not easy for Major
General Joseph K. Kuhn to solve
Although definite figures concerning
the number of m'en that the war chiefs
will send to this enntonment under the
new draft plan ifre lacking, It is be
lieved that the number, will overtax the
barracks to such an extent that thou
sands of trained men will be forced to
live under canvas
New arrivals that have been pouring
in since April 25 are being quartered
with rcRUhr units, for the barracks set
mid for thp exclusive use of the 15Uh
Depot Brigade, an organization that re
Joniv.s new men. are filled til the hilt
With regular organizations down to
! sn per cent of their war strength It has
I been possible to quarter hundreds of
line men with these units, but the plan
I of the War Depirtment to send add!
ttonal thousands to l.lttlo Penn presents
n houslng-problem that Is unpneedented
Hanking officers point to the futllitv
nf putting raw Hoops unifer innvds and
offer, a the only solution for the prob
lem the one alternative, uamelv, the
ousting ot regular units from their bar
rai Ks This htcp means that trained
men would be compelled to live under
canvas nnd, judging from the comments
mule b the dpughbovs when they were
on the rifle range, such an order would

Thp various Infantry nnd artillery
nrganlzitlons ale well supplied with can
vas ahd the bovs have been initiated to
life In the dog tents. That they would
enjoy this life as a Meady proposlton
goes without saving, for when on the
rifle tange the cnibrjo lighters were
far happier than at home In thu ram
bling pine buildings.
Living under canvas, according to the
doughboys, gives them n real camp at

A final dectee signed bv rrder.il Judge

straint of trade. The Court Issued the
usual dissolution restraining orders
The Government alleged in Its petition
that the company systematically had
made contracts and engaged In coniblni
tlons In restraint of trade In violation
of Sherman anti-trust law.
In directing a decree against the com
pany, the Court found that the concern
had eliminated competition among
wholesale dlstllbutors and retail dealers
In tho United Ktates puunaslng nnd
silling Its products, and otherwise had
restrained trade, and commerce by bring
ing about an arreemenl that restrictions
promulcated by the company with re
spect to resales, persons and territory
would be 'observed Approximately 11
wholesale distributers and 7000 retaP
dealers were affected, according to thu
Court's findings
The defendant, the findings continued,!
had for many jears restrained trade
and commerce among the Kta's In talk-1
Ing-maclilne recoids and appliances bv
requiring distributors and dealers han
dling Its product not to use or permit tho
use of records or appliances not pro
duced b) the company

Prohibition against restrictive or tir
rltorlal agreements regarding resale

ders The coinp in also Is enjoined from
requiring wholesale and retail dealers
Felling Its products to refrain from using

The defendant eonipan) contended that
nt the time the license agreements com
plained of vine made they were lawful
under tho United States Supreme Court

the laws regulating commerce. All out-
standing licenses liad been canceled.

This was the answer of Charles K
Haddon. vice president and treasurer
of the Victor Talking M.uhlne Company,
at his home In Haddon Heights last
night, when asked to make a statement
on the dissolution older b) Judge Hand
' I nm sure that I, an officer of tho

"Hut I am aware of none I don't know
