POSTAL EMPLOYEES TO
MEET AT WINSTON-SALEM
Meeting Originally Scheduled Te Be
Held la Raleigh Ha* Been Changed,
For The 16th
\
The conference-convention of the
postal employees of the State of
North Carolina will be held at Wine
ton-Salem instead of Raleigh as ori
ginally planned, according to a state
ment made public today by the Post
Office Department.
The meeting is scheduled to take
place on Tuesday, January 16th. *
Change in the conference-conven
tion from Raleigh to Winston-Salem
was made necessary because it was
impossible to secure hotel accommo
dations at Raleigh for the fifteen
hundred or more postal workers of
North Carolina that are expected to
be in attendance.
The Poet Office Department will
be represented by Third Assistant
Postmaster General W- Irving Glover
> d
BELIEVES CHAIRMAN
SHOULD VOTE TWICE
Como, N. C., January 8, 1923.
MR. EDITOR?I sea in your last
week's paper "The Cat" says that
Dr. Mitchell seems to be the only one
who thinks he had the right to vote
twice in their meetings first Monday
in December. Please tell the Cat
that 1. for one agree w4th the Doetor
in exercising the right {as I under
stand it) that has been ?|sed by the
chairmen of of our own national and
state legislative bodies, and all other
boards that elect one of their mem
bers to act as chairman all down
through the ages. Never heard of any
law, or custom, that disfranchised a
member of any board, or convention,
because he was made chairman.
Suppose Mr. L. J. Lawrence, our rep
resentative, had been elected speaker
of the Ifouse and thereby deprived af
his vote, who would , we have to rep
resent our county? Suppose H. S.
Ward had been elected
Congress and thereby deprived of
MLae tsnrndastea
hlg vdte, who would represent our
district in Congress! Or suppose
they were to say to these representa
tives, you may vote on general roll
call, but can't vote to untie or tie
a vote. How could our law making
bodies proceed with any intelligence
or assurance of proceeding at all
with such a situation in existence!
I am no lawyer, nor fm I any parli
mentarian, but, have served in several
bodies whose presiding officers seemed
to know (their business and have
heard them time and again refuse to
entertain a motion as long as there
was a motion before the house. Now
suppose there was a tie vote, in any
lawmaking body, whose chairman had
been restricted to one vote, unless
they invented some new parlimentary
laws they would have to quit doing
business until they disposed of the
motion on which they were tied, as
I can't see that getting tied on a
motion disposes of it. I am not en
tirely sure that 1 am right in my
position, but it does seem to me to be
the common sense view of it and
I would gladly be corrected if I am
wrong. I hear our road board and
board of commissioners have voted to
restrict their chairmen to one vote
which is unheard of (so far as I can
hear) in any other county but this.
Of course, each Hoard has a remedy,
in case their chairman becomes too
dictatorial, or autocratic, by just im
peaching the chairman and repeal his
autocratic bills.
Mr. Frank Tayloe took the right
position (in my judgment) in voting
against the resolution to confine his
chairman to one vote. I hope both
boards will repeal their law to con
fine their chairmen to one vote, or
they may get themselves in a position
to be criticized as us\ng parlimentary
laws and rulings that have never been
heard of since the foundation of our
government. I don't think I would
bq willing to serve as chairman on
any board with such restrictions.
T. E. VANN.
