MAIL CARRYING
JOB A-BECGINC
Nobody Wants To Bid
on Contract for
Work Here
Losing Proposition in Past
Bidders Shy on Putting in
Figures Today

Postmaster w. H. MarigoId was
busy today developing a, fine crop of
gray hairs atop his genial countenance.
Worry over the letting of the contract
for the Carrying of mails to and from
the railroad station and post Offices
was assisting him greatly in changing
the color scheme of his hirsute adorn-
ments.
The contract for this work is to be
let tomorrow. Bids must be in the
hands of the second assistant postmas-
ter general at Washington by 4:3O
o'clock Up to I O'Clock today, Post
master Marigold hadn't seen single
bidder. Answer: Worries and gray
hairs.
The contract for carrying the mails
has always been a losing proposition.
This year, the contract includes the
transportation of parcel post matter
and wouId-be bidders are therefore
fighting shy of the work
Stanislaws Kalislzi is doing the work
at present Kais+Ni is finishing the
work contracted for by Edward J,
Mal1ey, for whom he was bondsn1an n
Mal1ey went broke on the job, it is
said, and to save his bond Kalish is
finishing out the contracted term at
contracted to do the work four years
for Sc, $50.
Postmaster Marigold said today that
he had not seen any prospective bid
be sent from the office this evening at
the latest in order to receive consider
alton. In addition to the losing ex-
periences of former contracts, the
postmaster thinks the parcel post
clause in the new contract is causing
bidders to keep shy this year.
If no bids are received by the sec
ond assistant pos tnaster general. the
present contractor will be required to
do the work for six months longer at
his present salary.
Postmaster Marigold was in Wash
ington last week talking over with
authorities conditions at the local post
office PAns for the issss2eTIration of
the ten-hour day, as provided in the
Reilly bill, were discussed and Post
ma ster Marigold received assurances
that enough extra carriers will be al
lowed the regular force to maintain
efficient service. The tet1-hour day is
effective March 4 OF this year, and
will mean several new appointments
to the regular force of carriers, the
pos tmaster says.

London, Jan. ga clinching argu-
ment for votes for women. today, was
delivered by Mrs Mary Wood, a pre-
matureIy aged toil-bent woman from
one of the east ends unspeakable
s<eatshops, who told David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer,
that she worked in the place more
than so hours weekly and received for
her labor 70 cents for the six days. On
that. she said. she attempted to sup
port herself and g, husband affected
with tuberculosis, to which he fell a
victim while shaving by 1amplight in
the same Sweatshop-
Her needle-scarred and nfisshapen
hands trembied with the terrible ear
neetness that evfnced the truth of her
recital as Mrs. Wood told the cabinet
officer how hundreds of thousands OF
helpless women and girls were forced
TO work in the east end shops as she
did, for less than a living pittance.
Lloyd George and members OF the
House of Commons were plainly i'm
pressed with the wOman's story. Some
OF the suffrase8tes we're overcome with
emotion.
Mrs wood was followed by other
women, fish Inongers, shop girls, do
nestle servants, wsaverR, pit WORK

liar stories Of toll without living
suffragettes received by Lloyd George
at the order of Premier AsQuith to
hear evidence IN behalf of the women's
suffrage amendment TO the franchise
reform bill scheduled for debate and
revision n the commons, tomorrow.
More excl teuent is promised in the
commons, tomorrow, than attended
the pass6es OF che Irish home rule biz
a week ago
Mrs Flora Drurnrnond was the FIRST
TO BE introduced and she contented
herself with q formal plea, that the
government support the stIffragette
asreensnt that str Edward Grey
would offer
Mrs. Anna Bigwood, factory work
er, made & novel plea mo matter
how the women use or misuse the vote,
conditions cannot be any worse than
they are now she said
Mrs Norton, Yorkshire weaver,
injected the oTninous note in the pro-
ceedings when she said: r.
@fIf the votes for women are not
granted at this session of parliament
am here to warn you that the past
look ike pan-prfoE<s compared TO what
we will do in future"
Smashing of windows, throwing of
paint, ink and acid into mail boxes,
cutting public telephone wires and
breaking up meetings addressed by
cabinet members so far have been the
limit of the nilitan&s.
Lloyd George, replying to a question,
said that 1t was untrue that Sir Ed
ward Grey would resign if the equal
suffrage amendment was lost. "'Pers
