Postmaster Cullngwor'h, OF Richmond.
arrived here this morning and called at
the department on official business. Post
master Dupuy. Of Roanoke, Is also in
the city. ana 1t Is understood that others
from Virginia and North Carolina Will
come on to look into a matter Of CON
siderable concern to their offices.
II seems that owing to n lack Of cleri-
cal force the postmasters have been
working the carriers extra time In the
oricas as clerks. This practice the de-
pariment ordered stopped. The reason
was that demands are constantly 5 mt
IN for extra compensation. Now thr
question with the postmasters is that II
fbry cannot use the carriers IN the Offices
for clerical work they would Ike TO have
q ruIr 50 that thy can reduce the mum
Ter of carriers and increase the clerical
fore. ia the Offices.
