THE PARCELS
POST SERVICE


AT last the parcel post! What
Europe has enjoyed for years
has finally become reality here.
AS might be expected, the in
auguration of the service was
characterized by the mailing Of
various articles of merchandise
either in a spirit of fun or for
advertising purposes. For in
stance, the ton or more of bricks
which a manufacturer of clay
products sent out attracted gen.
eral attention because the COM
parison of a letter or postal card
with a brick as mail matter ap-
peared ridiculous and suggested
the difficulties Of the clerks and
letter carriers struggling with
such heavy articles. But as a
matter of fact, year hence the
same man can mail carload and
little attention will result. 1t is
the new and unu 'ual thing that
is strange, like the first bicycles
that aroused derision and were a
frequent mark for stones thrown
by the small boy.
The service has thus far been
satisfactory to the public, and
the indications are that the, De-
partment, which was some what
unprepared, will be able to ex-
pand it's facilities to keep space
with what will be steadily
growing traffic. The competi-
tive tests of articles mailed and
expressed from the same place to
the same destination were
rather in favor of the parcel
post, which in some cases was
a full "a hours ahead of the
express companies. The latter,
however. will not go out Of
business, although they will
have to modify rates on small
packages and pay smaller divl-
dends on watered stock: but
while any innovation is discon-
|cerned for a time to the peo-
pie and industry immeditely af-
fected, other occupations and
forms of service soon arise to
take their place. Some of ex-
press employees may change to
postoffice employees. and the
companies replaces what pack
ages they lose with larger and
heavier freight, but there will
I, doubtless be occupationfor both
the parcel post and the express
companies. III. H. Windsor, in

BUNDLES FROM THE DAWSON MINE DIDN'T ALL

of coal miners there, when this ex-
plosion occurred that killed probably
250 men. "A few hours afterward l

strikers, the evils suffered by the
miners may have seemed vague. Here
they are real as death.
1t wasn't yet time to worry about
the dead when 1 first arrived on the
scene. Squads of helmeted rescuers
were dashing into the mine among
the blackened corpses in a desperate
search for the living. They knew that
the women and children, clustered by
hundreds at the mouth of the pit,
were hoping for, living husbands and
daddies and not roasted corpses.
When they came from the mine,
the sooted Would-be rescuers didn't

No, the bundles didn't all look

life has been destroyed, if you can
figure death in cold figures. For this
reason, if for no other, the how of
it must come out.
Was the mine unsafe? If condi-
tons were unsafe, why didn't the
men complain? There's the point.
The miners in the Dawson field are
not organized.
But soon union leaders are going
from Colorado into New Mexico to
tell miners there that it is better to
stand together in life. than to lie to-
gether in death, like the miners of
Stag Canon.
NOTE-Until>a year ago the mine
was regarded as one of the most
modern and safe in the United States.
Up to that time John Smith had been
superintendent. He was often called
a crank for safety" and insisted up
on life guarding apparatus before
anything else. Smith often said a
serious accident couldn't occur in
the mine. Eighteen months ago he
was succeeded by Thomas McDer-
mott and it is reported that the COM
pany allowed the safety arrange
ments to run down, although the
