mission to Postmaster lew Etter for trans
mission to the postmaster general
The sentiment or the meeting was
strongly against this extra labor imposed
on the government officials, and when
Mayor Trainor presented his resolution in
favor Of the abolition Of the present sys-
tern there was not a dissenting voice The
postmaster, while he explained that Il
would not relieve him OF certain Sunday
responsibility and duty. thanked the meet
ing FOR what they. representing the city,
had done. He showed that in other places
where the question had been raised the
people were practically unanimously IN
allowing the postal officials a day off It
was pointed out that urgent letters could
always be obtainable

Gil Bluffs transfer. One man gave an in
stance Of goods having been sent out OF
South Omaha which took six weeks TO
reach its destination And II should have
got there in that many days" he said.
This sort OF thing" said Mr.. Kopietz,
is going to hurt US as a manufacturing
center. One Of the first things anyone
desiring to locate here will ask will be as
to the facilities OF shipping stuff out and
this is all YOU can tell them"
II was mentioned that this state of at
fairs had been existing for years and that
all that should be required was that at,
tention OF the railroad companies be called
to II. In reply to this a member Of thu
meeting said the railroad companies should
be well aware of the fact that South
Omaha houses because OF the fact that they
could not get local shipments at home, had
TO send their goods to Omaha and had &c
pay the extra haulage.
II was decided that the committee ap-
pointed by the directors OF the club should
continue its investigation and report to tn,
next open meeting OF the club what step
II had taken.
