THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

October 26, 1938
Memorandum For Miss LeHand.
The President may be interested in
the following information.
The Assistant General Counsel of the
Wage-Hour Administration told me that the
attorney representing Postal Telegraph, now in
receivership, has threatened to close down the
the whole organization all over the country
tonight. He argues that he is unable to pay
wares under the Act.
I had heard from other sources, namely
the Anti Trust Division of the Department of
Justice, that Postal is in a very bad way and
is about to fold at any time. This, of course,
rives them a useful excuse two weeks before
election. Postal has been trying to get its
employees exempted under the Act.
I also understand Postal has beer trying
to set '1 hearing before the Federal Communications
Commission for the purpose of charging higher
rutes, but that Chairman McNinch has refused them
one on statutory grounds.
The Monoboly Conmittee may also be
interusted in this.
