To L|GHTEN SUNDAY
POsTOFF|CE WORK
POSTMASTER GENERAL HITCH.
COCK ISSUES INSTRUCTIONS
INAUGURATTNG REFORM.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March ga
Sunday work In post Offices through
out the country is to be discontinued
so far as consistent with the facili-
tation of the transmission of mail, in
consequence OF the success of the
movement recently inaugurated in
Washington.
1t is proposed practically to close
important post-offices on Sundays.
Certain work to prevent congestion
and delay Of mails must be done. Mails
VIII be received and dispatched as
heretofore, and arrangements will be
made for limited delivery through
the general delivery windows. and the
distribution Of mail to boxes will be
continued. and patrons OF any office
win be afforded the privilege of hav-
ing their mail delivered on Sundays
by depositing the required fee for spe-
cial delivery service.
Postmaster General Hitchcock yes
terday issued instructions designed to
carry into effect these ideas and to
afford employees of the postal service
one days rest IN seven. The orders
are In line with his general policy 10
improve conditions OF employment In
the postal service. IN respect both to
increase In compensation and to short
err hours.
Allowance for Sundays.
Sunday work in post-offices, 30 far
AZ clerks are concerned. has been re-
duced TO the minimum. Mr. Hitch
cock believes IN compromising them by
time allowance on week days for their
work on Sundays.
To afford the letter carriers similar
time for rest, the present system OF
delivering mail through the letter
carriers windows. which requires the
attendance Of about one-half of the
carriers for three or four hours on
Sunday, will be discontinued.
Mr.. Hitchcock believes that the
millions of dollars expended In the
last few days in promotions have so
improved the personnel that the rela-
tive cost OF conducting the service
has been diminished.
