The Uses and Abuses of Postal Car
Permits,

The Uses and Abuses of Postal Car
Permits.
Among the railway postal clerks it is
understood that several Of their chiefs in
the service have been "clubbed" of late by
the powers that be for the wholesale Issuing
of permits" over the rail way lines in their
divisions. Whatever the railroad COM
panies may gain by stopping the mails dur
ing weighing time they lose by the liberal
issue of permits" by the chief clerks.
According to the postal rules and regula-
lions no one can enter the mailcar without
permit signed bg the chief clerk OF suler-
intendent. For this purpose the department
issues book of permits similar in style 10
an ordinary cOupon-boOk. The printed
note lnstFucts the clerk in charge of the car
to accord Mr.. - the courtesies of the car.
Across the slip is STAN ped in red letters
IN OF good for transpOTtatiou."
THIS is where the joke comes in.
AS soon as the clerk Is IL possession Of
the slip he is released from responsibility
and proceeds 10 accord his new acquaint-
ance the courtesies of the car the entire

Ing Tor the Oakland pier, it is as good as q

Under law passed by late Congress
every employe in the postofiices is entitled
to two weeks vacation each year. During
this time he takes a trip. A letter-earrier
from Butte, Mont, may visit San Fran
cisco and return at rates that even scalper
never dreams OF.
Chief clerks usually consider it no sin 10

so much fraudulent conduct on the part of
