1t is likely that Samuel Gompers,

EMPLOYEES WANT REST
WHILE THEY WORK

Some complaint has been made BY
employees Of the Washington city post
Office against the removal Of the stools
that the clerks and carriers have here
tofore used while engaged at their
Iabors.
Postmaster Barnes states that II was
found necessary for the proper eXpe-
ditiOn Of the work to do away with
six or eight stools that were used By
clerks and mail collectors at the
facing table" Mr.. Barnes said that
he found the Jew rule to work an inn
pToyement in NE service, ana that he
did not consider that the men were
imposed upon by the arrangement, as
the clerks who were drawn for the
work at intervals came from desks
where they had been sitting down, and
that the carriers and collectors who
worked at this particular table, had
their swing time" between trips, when
they were at liberty to lounge or stand
UP as best suited their inclinations-
There were only about half a dozen
of the stools that were made use OF
by from one to two dozen men. as the
work required. The stools used By the
carriers at their particular and stated
posts Of duty have not been removed,
and are stu being used by them.

TO COINS
IN LETTER BOXES

Patrons Of the rural free delivery trib-
utary 10 the Washington City Postoffice
have formed the habit OF placing loose
coins in their boxes along with letters
TO be mailed in lieu OF stamps 10 such
an extent that Postmaster Barnes has
found II necessary TO Issue a card call
ing attention to tie abuse Of the privil-
eye, and requesting that the patrons OF
the service supply themselves with a
sufficient quantity Of postage stamps
to meet their wants.
II is said the practice s07r-oses undue
hardship on rural CdTriers Il removing
loose coins from boxes .uId delays
them on the service OF thel- routes.
Where It is found Necessary 70 place
coins in the boxes the postmaster re-
quests that the patrons make use 81
