INQUIRY ON MAIL SYSTEM URGED BY SENIOR SENATOR Washington. May 27.—Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, believes there should be congressional investi gation at this session Into tho "de plorable conditions existing in the postal service." Furthermore, he says, he person ally will urge such action, and when it Is taken Into consideration that ho is a member of the Senate commit tee on .post offices nnd post roads, it is probable somo thing will be ac complished. Senator Penrose expressed himself on the situation when interviewed. Mr. Penrose said he had read with great interest the complaints of busi ness men, because he, himself, had been receiving such complaints from business men throughout tho State for some time. Democrats Also Angry It was also found, In discussing tho matter with other national law makers, the opposition to Burleson, and his economy methods, which have thrown the postal service into chaos, is assuming a nonpartisan character. Domocrats aro found who denounce his methods quite as strongly ns do Republicans, and ihey say they have been constrained from openly fighting him simply be cause he is a member of the Demo-i cratic administration. It would not be unlikely, in case Congress should start an investiga tion, that these men would join the movement, becauso they realize the complaints against him aro not actuated by politics, and they feel he has become a liability to their party. Senator Penrose feels that Con- grcsslonal action should be thorough, but ho expresses the belief that cor rection of the conditions can only come through the ousting of the men who have virtually wrecked the ef ficiency of the department. Discussing the situation, Air. Pen rose, said: "The situation Is extrmely deplor able and Incomprehensible, In that human Inefficiency could porslbly bo so great. There Is no assurance whatever that a lotter will bo de livered and the probabilities are it will be delayed. Frequent Inquiries at tho Post Office Department fall to elicit any response giving any re dress or promise of redress. "The administration of the tele graph system Is as bad, If not worse, if that were possible, than tho postal system. Kunntng along with this lamentable breakdown in transmis sion of communication Is the equal ly serious breakdown of carriage and delivery of express parcels as well as parcel post packages. Wonders How Business Exists "I sometimes wonder how business can be conducted at all, at least cer tain kinds of business, anyhow. Last j week, for Instance, I had several J complaints from dealers In mer chandise stating that numerous | parrels sent to customers had fulled 'of delivery and all traces were lost. Telegrams making inquiry of rail road administraiton or the Post Office Department either were not receiv ed, remained unanswered or the reply was unsatisfactory or indefinite. "I can easily understand how the business public is incensed and re sentful. I cannot suggest any correc [ tion that will be effective unless the I executive heads, under the present administration aro changed."
