RURAL CARRIERS
SPOIL TRADITION
Country Postmen, Unlike Other
Government Employees,
Resign Places.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE general
belief that no government employee
ever resigns is belied by the records Of
the rural free delivery service. In one
week, recently, there were 1913 separa-
tions from the service of rural carriers,
mostly in the middle west.
The records of the department, show
that in Minnesota, in the month and
half from Dec. l to Jan. IS, there were
46 separations of carriers from the serv-
ice. Thirty eight of these were res
ignations, six persons declined appoint
ment to the service, one carrier was re-
moved and one died.
Twenty -four of those who resigned
gave no reason. Five quit because of
patrons; one couldn't stand the brand
of weather being dealt out; one was APP
pointed postmaster; four went into
other business; one didn It care to work
under the postmaster and one carrier
sold his team. Of the destinations, one
man gave as his reason that he was
no longer a resident on the route; one
that he was not resident of the post;
office; two went into other business;
reason. .-~
In North Dakota six carriers re-
signed, four giving no reason, one on
account Of the weather, and one said
he did not wish to mention reasons. i"
One carrier in North Dakota died, 'one
man declined an appointment because
he was no longer a resident of the post
office and one declined because of other
business.
In South Dakota eleven carriers re-
signed, eight not giving any reason, one
on account Of i'll health and two to
enter other business. "'.. r-;-.:

ending June 80, last, was $7s9, S7S.65,
an average monthly stipend of $59.77.

tions on the various routes were 1892
