Not Liked BY Them.

The closing Of the general delivery
window In postoffices on Sundays has
aroused general protest from tran
sients. a large number of whom are
commercial travellers. One OF then
number said yesterday:
II think this is the worst move the
the postal department has ever made
and cannot see any reason for the or
der. unless the department is trying 20
favor some set of government en-
ployes IL will prove great hardship
for commercial travellers. The aver
age commercial man looks after most
OF mis- correspondence on Sunday and
he receives more mail on that day
than any other day in the week, as his
house usually sends his week end mail
To his SUNDAY town.
The postal authorities are talking
Of a oneccnt postage rate. but so far
as can learn the people generally
would prefer better service to a cheap
er rate. This is particularly true OF
the big wholesale concerns Their
managers complain bitterly of the poor
mail service that they have been get

enemy in every instance.
