SCRANTON. Pa, December 26-The
fourth day Of the strike Of the motormen
and conductors Of the Scranton Railway
Company shows the tie-up to be just as
complete as on the first day.
There is not a car in operation carrying
passengers, and only those trips were made
to suburban places where it was necessary
to deliver mails These cars were handled
by the company's superintendent The
strikers have their picket force thoroughly
organized, and every suspect who reaches
town over any of the steam roads is taken
in hand for explanations
Thus far the company has imported
nearly one hundred men from New York,
Brooklyn and Syracuse, but they have not
held a half dozen of them, and the strikers
say these are certain to desert today. An
other big arrival is looked for today from
New York. The men brought here from that
city said to be from the extra list of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. They
say they were to be boarded, paid 81 per
day and railroad fares, and were to work
on the new railroad.

LETTER BOX THIEVES.
They >WOre Carriers Uniforms and
Worked without MolestatiOn.

Postmaster Merritt has unearthed a vio-
lation of law which may be the means of
locating the thieves who have broken into
some of the city letter boxes during the
past year. He discovered that many men
were wearing letter carrier uniforms with
out warrant of law. Upon investigation it
developed that letter carriers We're in the
habit of selling their cast-on uniforms, and
1t is believed that the thief or thieves who
who opened the letter boxes procured some
of the clothing. 1t would be comparatively
easy for man to rob a letter box while
in uniform without exciting suspicion. NO
one W Juid think strangely of a man In the
uniform of carrier being at work on a
letter box. Postmaster Merritt has little
doubt the thieves were uniformed when the
boxes were robbed.
Upon the first investigation It was discov-
cred that the employees of the contractor
for Transporting the mail were dressed in
carrier uniforms which they had purchased
from carriers. Ii is believed they obtained
them innOcently, although it ls a serious
offense 10 wear the uniform OF letter
carrier without warrant and is punishable
by fine and imprisonment
Post office inspectors are now on the look
out for violators of the law.
