days are alike to him. Without him the
city would cease its progress, and subur-
ban real estate would be drug on the
market. The man to whom all this ap-
plies is the letter carrier. And Washing
ton can boast OF having the finest body
of letter carriers of any city in the coun-
try.
The letter carrier before he enters upon
his duties must give thousanddol "a
bond furnished by an indemnity company
that has received authority of the Atto7-
ney General OF the United States. This
also applies to substitutes. Prior to tie
passing of the eight-hour law the Letter
carrier worked from ten to fourteen and
sometimes sixteen hours per day. Now
If he works more than eight hours he re-
ceives extra compensation The rules and
regulations they are required to live up
to are severe in the extreme, but the OBJ
ject of that is to maintain strict discip-
line And in the Washington Postoffice
the discipline is perfect.
