Senator Overman la "from Missouri" on tba oft repeated claim that ex-eervtc men have been given preference, lie does not believe that all ex. service men have had fair treat ",!: at the : handa of postmaster work. In a recent statement for poiltlcal"; consumption. Mr. Work saldt . v .-. v ,-,.. "President Harding has appoint ed 8,420 postmaster?. ; of thia number 1,74 were soldiers. 1.2 I women, and 104 employee who were promoted from the ranks without examination, the latter being an In novation which enabled the da- panment, t , jaward r merrtwioaa Boutham ex-service men ' have not had a square deal, and the file of every southern eenator shows It. At the request of' Col. J. A. Lock -hart, commander of tha North Carolina department of tbe Amarl ran legion, Senator Overman has railed on the poatofflre department for facts to show Just what ha been done to carry out the spirit of the law giving ev-servic men preference In poetofflce appoint ments. : Mr. Overman aaked for a full explanation of the position taken by the administration relative to the preference to be given to the ex service men and urging very strong ly that the ex-service mea be given preference . in theae appointments. The postmaster general advise Senator Overman In re-ponse that tha preference to be given to ex eervtc men doea not apply to pre sidential postmasters who are not Tinder the classified civil service. Senator Overman took the posi tion that even thourht tbia be true, it should be the custom of the de partment In tha appointment of presidential postmas'ers to give every possible consideration to the former ex-seldler, and he drew par ticular attention to the President's executive order. Issued on OrHober 14, directing that! the veterans should have five points added to their earned ratings In examinations held for presidential postmaster ships, -and that the time such can didates were. In the service durine the worM war should be reckoned by tha civil aervlce commission in making up the required length of business erperlence, and that all age limitations be .waived. In his recent statement - Mr.' work did not explain how many ax-aervlce men had been fourth c'ae poetmasterahtpa He said 8.

' A sweeping statement ' declaring , his , personal etand for the eight-hear day In in dustry and condemning the It-hour day and tha seven day week aa "un necessary, uneconomic and unjusti fiable." was issued today by John D.

Mr. Rocke feller says, he believes the routine should be so adjusted that the em ployee can have at least one day's rest in seven and can obtain that share of leisure for self-development which accompanies the work-day of approximately eight hours, "While the adontion nf th.. standards may and doubtfeas Wfll at prbi i tha long run greater efficiency ad econ omy will result, and" that from the outset publie opinion will support any Industry .which install them." - o Soundest Policy. With regards to living conditions even in Isolated localities with oil camps. Mr. Rockefeller declares that It is not only possible but necessary to make reasonable provisions for the hearth, comfort and contentment of those- who labor there in behalf of the entire community. "I have never believed 'that these thing ahould be provided for Work ing men and women either as a re sult of chance generosity or delib erate paternalism," the statement continues. "Quite aside from the fact that In my Judgment they repre aent the soundest economic policy, they are due to the employe as a matter of common Justice, required by the basic fact that a man is a human being first and a member of the Industry afterward.! The article of Mr. Lynd. which called forth Mr. Rockefeller's state ment.
