STOPS SUNDAY MAIL DELIVERY
NEW POSTAL RULING CAUSES
PROTEST.
Even Patrons Having Lock Boxes
Must Wait TIN Monday to Get
Their Letters.

Washington. Aug. 2S.-What at first
seemed an innocent and inoffcnsivs
amendment to the postofIice apropria
ton bill. which was put In BY Minor
ity Leader Mann Of Illinois. has
caused a general protest from all
parts OF the country.
The amendment provides that all
Arst and second class postofRces. and
also those Of smaller towns. shall be
closed from ~ o'clock midnight every
Saturday until midnight Sunday. The
provision Is so drastic In It's nature
that not even patrons OF The post
offices who have lock boxes will be- al.
lowed To get their mail,
A. the office OF the bird assistant
postmaster general II was stated
that he provision means that news
papers sen, out on Sunday morning
will remain In the office until Monday.
No exception II made In any class OF
mail except that bearing u special de
livery stamp.
The postOfiice appropriation bill II
already law. the President having AZ
fixed his signature To the measure
and h" postoi'icc officials have al
ready mailed thousands u! letters d.
recting that the pos offices he closed
every week from midnight Saturday
until the sam" hour SUNDAY night,
Perhaps the greatest Inconvenience,
wrought by the bill will ho upon N,
publishers and subscribers OF news
papers.
