Deegan, see retary of the company, t'o be the "rea sons" for the removal today by Mr. ilurleson of Clarence Mackay, presi dent, and other o1licials of the coM pany. Mr. Deegan declared inl at statement that "'we shall not surrender or aban don our fight against Burleson's usur pattions." The order removing the officials was served at noon today without previous notice, said the statement which con tInued: "Burleson gives as a reason for tihe order th'at we have failed to carry out his orders and instructions. We do not know what Burleson refers to in the way of orders and Instructions. It all is a pretense. "The statement by Burleson that we failed promptily to put into effect the wage schedule Is a distortion. We announced an Increase in wntges of all our employees on Alarch 5, effective from January 1. which was more gen erous than that ordered by Burleson. The H1u rleson schedule was based en tirely on file Western Union plan of organiiza tion whieh is different from ours, and It was impossible to apply it to our organization. Hril esoni's op erating board admitted this and told us to do the best we could. 1hrii ioson's statellent on the -wage schedule is a dieliberate altolopt to distort fcI(-ts.

I The stateecit wI)ich declares the action of the postmaster general to be "one of the most despotic acts in the history of the government," and this purpose "evidently is to destroy the Postal Telegraph system," says the men who were appointed to take over the property know nothing of the telegraph business. Baltinore, March 22.-(larence 1-. Mackay, presi(lent of the Postal Tele graph anid 'Caele Company, who was in Ballimov~e today, said tonight: "Intil I shall have had the oppor utinity of reading and studying the full Iext of the order dismissing me from tihe service of the conmpany, el)prefer to make no comment ahout Ita A state ment will likely be .issued by the com pany in New York tonight.
