POSTAL MATTERS.
Suggestions Worth Investigating Made
by Mr.. Wynne.

Washington. Nov. l8-Robert j. Wynnee.
first assistant postmaster general. IN ms
annual report to the postmaster general
'ecommends that Congress authorize clerk
hire allowances at all tbird-class post
>ffices. Mr.. Wynne recommends new
classification law for clerks IN first and
'econd-class post offices, creating a NUM-
1er of new positions and abolishing the
tiles of all clerks below the grade OF
'oreman.
During the year the domestic money or
lers issued amounted to $685., .6iS and
he excess of receipts from this source
,ver expenses paid from the proceeds was
1904, SS8.
The receipts at the dead letter office
If mail matter of all classes and from all
'ources which could not be delivered de-
iphered or were unavailable were 10,153-
IS pieces, an increase of S12 per cent.
Mr.. Wynna urges legislation to abolish
he private letter box abuse in large
tiles; to prevent the boycotting of post
>ffices because of political difficulties. pet
jealousies, selfish motives. etc; to pun
sh the use of Il postmarking stamp fol-
my unlawful or improper purposes; to
absolutely bar infiammable matter from
he mails and to further restrict the mail
ng OF disease germs.
