in the league.
A meeting will probably be called
Monday or Tuesday evening when the

that the matter of forfeits and post
ponements and late starting should be
dealt with.

Millions Demand Parcels Post

"The express companies have
successfully opposed all attempts
for parcels post" writes Arnold
Il, Williams in Human Life for
February, "and in the past have
been aided by the country mer-
chant, who is fearful OF competl-
ton from the mail order houses
when once there Is a reasonable
rate and weight limit established
for general merchandise.
"There is a ray of hope in the
future, however; perhaps the very
near future. In fact, 1t is not at
all i'm probable that the present
Congress may pay some attention
to the demand for parcels post
legislation of some kind, aud be-
fore its adjournment embark on
the experiment urged by the
Postmaster General for a parcels
post on the rural routes. To the
great majority OF the advocates of
a domestic parcels post this will
be satisfactory only as 1t is the
entering wedge. They are not
to be satisfied with anything less
than a general service for domes.
tic mails. They contend, how.
ever, that this experiment will so
completely demonstrate the un.
limited possibilities for convenl.
euce and revenue that Congress
will be unable to withstand the
demand that will quickly follow
for an adequate service.
"The NOvemb Der elections have
had an influence too. There were
many members of Congress who
declared that the people were yet
undecided as to what they really
wanted IN the line of parcels post.
These members are now convlnc-
ed that the people have made up
their minds to get something and
to have representatives IN Con-
gress who will give it to them.
"If we don't enact this legisla-
ton, SAID a Republican member
on the assembling of Congress
tor the short session, the next
Congress will. We had better
give them something and get the
credit for it. ,"
