The Postonice Department today re-
ceived no additional advices as to the
Georgia strike situation. A telegram
received late yesterday stated that the
mail service on the branch line Of the
railroad between Athens and Union
Point had been resumed and that
mail car had beer carried between Au-
f-usta ana Atlanta at the rear Of

The Postonice Department takes the
attitude that IF the people of Georgia
want their mail they VIII cease to aid
the strikers. and that the situation will
then be easier to cope with.
The Government is determined to
move the mails at all cost, and the
postoffice officials have been instructed
20 read the statutes forbidding inter
ference with the mails 10 all the
strikers. If anyone then commits an
oyert act the postoffice employees are TO
report him the the United States dis

ment TO start some mail train moving.
