Pifer removal spurs Civil Service clash at Mount Crawford
Washington dispatch reports A B Pifer postmaster at Mount Crawford Virginia was ousted by the Post Office Department after two Civil Service Commission refusals to act. Acting postmaster Miss Mabel Laymon, daughter of Republican A O Laymon, cited as partisan, was appointed amid charges of political activity and improper conduct at the polls. A Civil Service probe noted four charges from 1920, with Pifer denying them through affidavits. Civil Service Commission repeatedly found no cause for action, while the Post Office eventually removed Pifer and named Laymon acting postmaster amid Democratic protest and calls for further senate inquiry.
