TO MAIL BOOKS BY
 THE PARCELS POST.
Steps Taken to Induce Congress to
 Amend the Act.

Washington, Jan. 9-Tt is likely in the judgment of the officials of the postoffice department that books and other printed matter now handled as third class mail at eight cents pound will be made mailable as parcels post matter Steps, it became known to- day, already have been taken to in duce congress so to amend the parcels post act as to permit printed matter to--be sent by parcels post.
 In line with this idea, Postmaster General Hitchcock decided today that senders of parcel post packages contain ing merchandise might enclose printed matter descriptive of the contents without affecting their classification. His order is an amendment to existing parcel post regulation which provide that the inclusion in a package of any package to the third class rate of postage.
 In rendering his decision the post master general held that the object of the parcel post law wa ito encourage the mailing of greater quantities of fourth class mail matter. It was shown to him that much of the mer chandise sent by the parcel --st re- quired descriptive tags or labels and in his decision he held that such printed matter came within the term for pur- pose of description used in the law.
 That the new order will be of ad- vantage not only to users of the parcel post but also to the government is in dicated by the statement of one firm that it would increase it's use of the mails from S100,009 annually to more than $1,000.o
