URGES COMPENSATION FOR
INJURED POSTAL EMPLOYEES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The enact
ment OF law 70 compensate all postal
employees. including letter carriers. for
injuries sustained In the line OF duty, but
not attributable 10 their own negligence,
is urged In the annual report OF c. p.
Granddeid, first assistant postmaster
general, submitted 70 Postmaster General
Hitchcock today.
There were IN operation June 30 last
59,2S1 postoffiees OF all classes IN the
United states, The postal city delivery
service is now in operation In i.6A cities,
serving more than 100000 people. and
on the 600 rural routes 100000 people
receive mail. This leaves a considerable
portion OF the American people. most OF
whom reside in towns and villages, the
report declares, without any form OF
free delivery service, and under the pres
ont laws there Is no way by which the
department can relieve this inequality"
The cost OF free delivery in cities, In
GLIDING collection expenses, was nearly
S3Oo.0oo, or more than IS per cent OF the
gross revenue OF the city delivery offices.
Mr. Crandrield calls special attention
20 the fact that during the last fiscal
year the gross revenue OF the depart
ment more than equalled the expenditures
and the postal service Is now self-sus-
tanning for the first time since 1883"
