PUTNAM
Postmaster Letters May Go to Wash ington for Settlement of New Ruling Death of Mrs. James w. Manning at 9f-Liquor Wrecks Another Life Dr. Darmer Goes to Norwich.

On and after March 4, when the new eight hour law governing the work of postal employees becomes effective, first and second class offices will not be allowed to work their clerks or car riers but eight hours a day, and that service must be performed within ten consecutive hours.
 This seems to be hard proposition to work out at the smaller second class offices. At Putnam the postoff1ce car riers have been working eight hours, but the eight hours were within 13 consecutive hours; clerks here have been working an average of nine hours and 15 minutes, within 13 1-2 consecu- tive hours.
 Figuring to use the present working force at the Putnam office in such a way as to meet the requirements of the new regulations is the most diff cult problem he has faced since he has been in office here Postmaster Letters said Monday. When the provisions of the law requiring sthat the eight hours of work be donesby employees within ten consecutive hours is complied with it means quite a little more help or an impaired service in this city.
 At present the clerks that go on duty at 63O a. m. end their work at 4.30 D. m. the carriers that go on duty at 7.35 a. m. ending their work for the day at 5.35 D. m. Postmaster Letters has made recommendations to Wash ington relative to what is needed in Putnam to. Keep the lOcal SeENEcS. up to its present standard of efficiency and is awaiting the result of the same The matter has been called to the at tention of Senator Brandegee and Con- gressman Higgins. Postmaster Letters is very anxious over the matter and unless satisfactory arrangements can be made without his going he will leave for Washington the latter part of the week to take the matter up with the postal department officials
 Looking for Jewett City Burglars.
 Capt. John Murray of the local police was in conference Monday with two Jewett City officers relative to the men who are responsible for the murder Of Patrick B. Driscoll, shot early Satur- day morning by the postoffice burglars
 The officers came to this city in fol- lowing out a clue that seemed to indlr cate that the burglars were hiding up in some of the towns in this section. All of the saloons here were visited, but no one was found who answered to the description that the officers have of one of the men supposed to have been concerned in the break.
 Information that has come to the officers, however, has made them pay very close attention to this section Of the county during the past A hours.
