most important reweighing OF the
mails in the history Of tie nostoffice
department will begin on February II
IN what is known as the fourth diyi-

many of the mooted questions which
have been bothering the government

II is not at all unlikely that the re
weighing will result IN several radical
changes in the methods and in the
rules and the pay given railroads for
transportation of the mails. Last year
the government paid the railroads full
