DEMOCRATS TRIED TO SELL POSTMASTER JOB TContinued from First Page] tional politics, figured extensively. Then Congressman Robert E. Lee jrave out statements in which James I. Blakslee, an assistant postmaster sreneral, was accused of some im proper meddling with post office af alrs in Schuylkill county. And now here comes Snyder. Sworn Statement Made In brief the Snyder county scandal Is that Charles I. Mattern, of Beaver town, was told In a conference with A. W. Aucker, Democratic chairman ■if Snyder county, and Postmaster M. 3. Schoch, of Selinsgrove, that he was .n line for the post office at Beaver town, but that a S2OO "contribution" would be acceptable, to use no harsher terms. Mr. Mattern makes public his story of the whole disgraceful pro ceeding In the S .yder Cou \ty Herald, published at Reaver Springs by A. M. Aurand. This Is the story as pub lished by the Herald: \ - I "Mr Charles I. Mattern. a reputable SARRISBURG TELEGRAPH citiaen and businessman of Beaver-1 town, Pa., and a staunch Democrat, [ sends the following sworn statement to the Beaver Springs Herald for publi-, cation, believing it to be Lis duty to make public his experience with tho | so-called Democratic leaders of this' county, and with Congressmen Der- j shem, while Mr. Mattern was an ap plicant for a postmastership under' the present Democratic admlnistra- j tion: Sunbury, Pa., Sept. 27, 1913. J Mr. Charles Mattern. Dear I'Yiend: Meet me at Sunbury, Pa., between 4 and 6 o'clock trains ati the Aldine Hotel, Wednesday after-; noon. October 1, 1913. Acknowledge j j receipt of this by letter mailed on I train at your place to M. S. Schoch at; ■ Selinsgrove, Pa. Very respectfully, A. W. AUCKER. The above letter was received by me September 29, 1913, and I acknowl edged It at once, as requested, and at the appointed time went to Sunbury to meet Mr. Aucker. Arriving at that place ( was met at the Aldine Hotel by both Mr. A. W. Aucker, of Port Trevorton, Pa., and Mr. M. S. Schoch, of Selinsgrove, Pa. One of the first things these gentle men did was to congratulate me as the next postmaster at Beavertown, Pa. They said they had a meeting Septem ber 27, 1913, (which meeting, it de veloped later, was held at the house of Congressman Frank X,. Dershem, at Lewlsburg, Pa.,) and that it was positively decided that I should be. the man for the Beavertown Post Office. "But." they said to me, "it is necessary that you pay an assessment of Two Hundred Dollars «$200) at once in cash, no check accepted. This must be wired to Harrisburg and they begin work at once," they said, mean ing that the leaders wouM take up my appointment and get the ball rolling. I told them I was not in shape at the present time: that I had Invested all my money, but they would hear from me by next Monday. I never intended to pay one dollar to secure the appointment as postmaster and upon the following Monday I wrote to M. S. Schoch and informed him that I had not decided. Before we separated at Sunbury on October 1, 1913. Aucker and Schoch Informed me that they had the power to establish the second rural mall route at Beavertown. They further told me that it was the rule to assess an appointee to a post office one-third of the first year's Income. Schoch said he paid an as sessment of S6OO. On October 4, 1913, I met Congress man Dershem at the "Bean Soup" at McClure and stated the circumstances of the above facts in full to him. He admitted that Aucker and Schoch had met at his home on September 27, 1913, as they stated to me in Sunbury. I told liim 1 would not pay one cent to V»e appointed postmaster, but since the; liad decided upon nay appoint- ir.ent, if I should fail to Ret it, I would "squeal." "No, don't do that," said Congressman Dershem, "because it would be a ruination to the Demo cratic party." I refused to pay any money to se cure the office, and, although T had the best civil service examination paper among the three applicants, I lost the office. About two weeks ago Congressman , Dershem came to my place and re- j malned for the greater part of two j hours, trying to have me give him j free on the two hundred dollar propo- , sitlon. Mr. Dershem claimed he heard I in Middleburg that I had accused him j : with the two hundred dollars. I told I , him not exactly, but I told him that I I everything was pointing in that direc tion. which he could not deny. I He also said to me. to quiet me, | that it loked as if we would have i ' another Democratic administration, then my chance would be good for an ! 1 office. "Never in this world," 1 told him. 1 "I will make all these facts public, so I the people will know what under- j handed methods are going on among, the so-called leaders of the Demo-1 cratic party." X solemnly swear that the above is j a true statement of facts, and am or j the firm opinion that if I had paid the | two hundred dollars cash demanded i of me, I to-day be postmaster at Beavertowh, Pa. C. X. MATTEKN. State of Pennsylvania, County of Snyder, ss: Personally appeared before me, a Justice of the peace in and for said county, C. X. Mattern, who, being duly sworn according to law, says that the j above is true and correct. (Signed) C. I. MATTERN. Sworn and subscribed before me this 15th day of April. A. D. 1914. (Seal) JACOB A.

R. & M; ABANDONS NEW FANGLED IDEAS [Continued from First Page] stead of feedinp it with one sweeping motion dlrect.-r* into the machine. A careful study of the motions of op eratives in various Industries has been made by experts and much time has been spent in devising ways to shorten the time required for each operation and hence increase production. Exponents of the system declare that It makes for greater ease In executing work as well us making the workman a gainer financially. At the Harrisburg Foundry and Machine Works when th« demonstration was Btarted mefi were paid by "piece," a APRIL 16,1914. given time being assigned for the pro duction, and it >B said by the man agement that the time thus assigned was a wide and liberal one. The work man who completed his task nhpnd of time received a bonus or premium equal to one-half of the amount of wages that would be due him In the time saved. Opposition Here When the efficiency idea was first promulgated it met with opposition from the ranks of organized labor. Samuel Gompers, head of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, declared against it on the ground that the tendency was to destroy all initiative and independence in the workman and convert him into a mere machine. He asserted that America's industrial su premacy was due to the fact that her workmen were for the most part free to carry their own Individualities and characters Into their work. In the end, he pointed out, industry would suffer, because much of the improved methods of work and new Ideas Came from workmen who were doing the job according to their own prevailing bent. Such opinion appears to have been shared by men at the Harrisburg Foundry and Machine Works. They did not like to have an outsider stand over tliem with stop-watch and teil them that such and such movements were useless and fix a time in which the work was to be finished. The result Is that there is rejoicing in the ranks of the employes over the recent order revoking the premium system of wages and restoring the former system of day wages. The efficiency system required an elaborate card Index system, all of which has been dispelled with. j STEAMSHIPS ' STEAMSHIPS [ARCADIAN™ EUBOPEI k TWIN SCREW. 9.000 Tons Reg 14.120 Disp rOr PIUHWMT 111 Ilk Suites de Luxe with Private Baths.
