Weymouth as water commissioner,

Weymouth is still on the job, and

ROADS DON'T WANT
SWITCHING CHARGES
COLLECTED

(ey United Press Leased Wire)
TOPEKA, Kan, June 2.-Three
transcontinental railroads, the
Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe and
the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake, have brought suit here
to enjoin the interstate commerce
commission from enforcing its order
against the collection of switching
charges.
The order for which both tempo
rary and permanent injunctions are
sought, was issued by the commits
sion April 10. 1t followed hearing
which lasted two years. The inves
tigation was begun at the instance
of the Pacific Jobbers' and Manu-
facturers' association. The railroad
companies charged a switching rate
of $3.50 per car for switching
freight cars to sidetracks and spurs
for manufacturing and jobbing
firms. The suit brought here will
test the right of railroads to make
such charges in any case.

Ida Cunningham is suing for a

If the present cool weather con-

To the Editor Of The Star:
Please make this complaint public The
post Office delivery system on Massachu-
sets avenue near Thomas circle is worse
than 1t has been for twenty-six years. 1
received my first mail yesterday at 1890
am. In no city in Christendom does one
receive the first delivery as late as this.
understand there are two causes: First,
the carriers have to readiness all mail of
absentees before first trip; second, i'm
portant parties cannot wait and they
meet the carrier and he, anxious to
please. stops and goes through his pack
ages to let people have urgent mail.
1 have complained to the city postmas-
ter, and got an answer to the effect that
he is. doing the best he can! wrote to
Mr. Hitchcock. and the first assistant
postmaster general replied that it was
the policy of the department to let those
who go to work have their mail first!
What he meant l don't know. If a man
works in a shop or Office, why don't he
get his mail there? My secretary works
from until noon. Since this manage
ment has prevailed she reads the morn
ing papers two-thirds Of the time. waiting
for mail that should be delivered at
o'clock. as 1t IL in all well conducted
cities throughout the Latin union.
