WASHINGTON, Aug. 1a.-Mr. W. B. Lockwood
Of Philadelphia called az the Post ONCE Depart

the contract for the printing of the postal cards.
He said he based his protest on the ground that
the use Of postal cards was all that stood in the
way OF the reduction Of letter postage TO ono
cent per half ounce. He said shat the postal
cards cost about five times as much as stamps,
that they were fully as hard TO handle as a let
ter antithat they weighed almost as much. He
thought that If the postal cards were done away
with the increase In business and the money
saved BY the Government would enable it TO re
daee the rate OF postage. thus comforting great
benefit on all. He was informed that under tho
law the department was compelled 10 give out
the contract and could exercise no discretion in
the matter. He was advised TO present the
matter 70 Congress, which he said he would do
