minute.

morning. AS the government makes no
mail contracts with the railroads for any
stated period. under the rules and resU-
lations the Northwestern has only to give
faster service to Omaha for seven days
than does the Burlington to demonstrate
that it is entitled to half of the mail con-
tract. if not all of it. Blu if. in the seven
days. the Burlington maintains its fast
schedule. and does better than the North
western, then the latter has no right to
demand Il change.
