Postoffice Clerk Coolidge Corner 47 Mass KING OF GREECE REPORTED MORGANATICALLY MARRIED Ceremony 8aid To Hev Taken Place While Hie Chances of Succeeding to the Throne Appeared Remote Paris May King Alfxand of Greece Is reported here to have ben married morganaticaliy to Mademoiselle Manoe daughter of a former aide-de-camp to his father King Constantine The Greek legation in Pari has refused to confirm or deny this report King marriage is said to have been the culmination of a boyhood friendship and occurred before he was in a direct I ne to the thr ne and while his -chances for succeeding his father appeared most remote The King and his wfe are living at the same hotel here and yesterday went to Versailles where they lunched together and visited the gardens Reports here impute the King's visit to Paris to a desire on the part cf Premier Venizelos of Greece for a separation of the King from his reputed morganatic wife so that he may marry a Princess of royal blood The Kmg is said to have left Athens quite in accord with his premier's pornt of view but Is declared to have undergone a change of mind since his arrival here The marriage ceremony It is asserted was performed by a priest of the Greek church but was not recorded with the Metropolitan of Athens the supreme ecclesiastic authority in Greece This is the for the fact that no record of the ceremony is available JOHNSON AND WOOD ARE RUNNING CLOSE IN OREGON fully The better grade of men from which the service formerly secured recruits are no longer entering the service Meager pay unsanitary conditions of work excessive work and exhausting overtime depressive night work and the unsympathetic attitude of the departments have all worked to drive men out of the service and away from the service Throughout the country North South East and West Middle East and Middle West the complaints pour in Detroit with a pormal force of 1400 reports an annual labor turnover of over 3700 men averaging a period of work about four months Chicago reports 1000 vacancies no one to take the job Akron Ohio cannot get any of its residents to answer the call to the postal service and has sent an urgent call over the country offering imnfediate regular appointment to any applicant New York reports an average of 10 resignations daily Examinations held every two weeks fail to fill the vacancies Practically any one is hired to resign or to be fired a few weeks later The daily press informs us the entire postal force of a Massachusetts post office resign and the jobs go And so it goes The reports come from all parts of the country and all breathe the same note of discontent and unrest The untrained unskilled untaught inferior grade of men are a positive loss to the service Misassortlng of mail delaying of mail destroying of mad pilfering of mail have increased to an alarming extent The old skilled well trained employes have patriotically stuck to the job in spite of these adverse conditions hoping and praying that an aroused public would one day demand a radical change But there Is a limit to any endurance The war is over the men did their duty and if relief be not forthcoming in justice to themselves and to their families they will be compelled to seek other work where they will earn sufficient wages to keep them from actual ern And now the public The complaints from the public have poured in and they rail at the results Instead of the causes Pick up any paper today ant( there is hardly any edition that doei not contain complaint regarding the postal service The facts I have stated above are not the product of my imagination nor are they wholly my personal observations The facts are taken at random from the hearings of the Congiessinn-al Commission that travelled throughout the country investigating the postal conditions I have proved my case have I not? WelJ what are you going to do about it? It is your service my iice service What shill vveVlo' The Joint Congressional Commission has been investigating these conditions for the past 15 months To date no report has been made and we learn from Washington that Congress will recess June 1 and that no business will be transacted until next December Unless the commission reports immediately nothing will be done this year and tbe reconstruction would be delayed until 1921 which would be a calamity to tho service We must not let this happen Mr Business Man you realize how necessary the mail service is to yojr business Will you sit down for five minutes and dictate to your favorite stenographer a letter lo your senators and your congressman asking them if there is any valid reason why the 15 months old report has not been reported and urging an immediate report? Mr Editor you are the leader of the community Will you use your powerful influence to correct the abuses of the postal service and help to restore It to its former efficiency? Mr Clergyman may we not appeal to you from a humanitarian standpoint to plead our Just cause? Mr Every-Day Citizen you realize our condition you know our needs Will you help us?
