THE general superintendent of the
railway mail service, w. B. Thomp-
son, issues an order as follows:
Complaint has been made to this
department that second.class mail
matter newspapers and periodicals
sent to regular subscribers) is not in
all cases promptly forwarded to the
addresses Such matter is of at least
equal Importance with letter mail,
and it should be treated with equal
care by postal clerks. If it is neces-
sary to withdraw second-class matter
from its wrapper in order to ascertain
its destination, it may be done. but
will not be allowed for any other
purpose. Second-class mixes will be
treated as prescribed by the regula-
lions and orders. If postal clerks
find any second-class matter improp-
erly directed-that is to say, addressed
to the wrong postoflice- they should
report the fact on the trip report, so
that the superintendent may notify
the publisher but should not change
the address OF course of the package.
The postmaster general desires that
the practice of reading newspapers
and periodicals passing through the
mails be discontinued wherever it
exists.
