tons TO railway postal clerks informing
them of the departments wishes concern
ing the attitude of these clerks in the
coming political campaign.
The circular states that the department
does not attempt or desire to control the

employees of the railway mail service shah
not take an active interest in politics in
the way Of attending conventions as dele
gates, making political speeches. or as

form 10 these requirements, and are efli-
cient, honest, courteous to the public, ana
abstain from unseemly and indecent lan>
