Mail handling is y Shty poor
business" said Assistant Passenger
Traffic Manager Byrnes Of the Santa
Fe, when asked what action the rail
roads would take if they found that
there was no money for them in the
parcels post. I'VE can't get away
from the mail handling, however, as
we can be forced to take care of it..
They will load us down with parcels,
then refuse to increase our pay until
the next quadrennial mail weighing
There is promise, however, of more
relief from congress, based on pay
ment for actual mail space used and
the frequency Of the service offered"
C.. ]. Balch, assistant to General
Manager Mutt Of the Salt Lake, said it
was case of grin and bear it, as
there wouldn't be any increased pay,
though many of the railroads would
have to increase their mail carrying
equipment.
Both express and railroad officials
made it plain that they did not look
upon the parcels post as detrimental
to their interests. The latter laughed
scornfully when it was suggested that.
because there is more money in hand
ling express packages than mail, they
would favor the express business,
pointing out that the government has
a system OF fines for delaying mail.

All Of the cotton grown by the con-
testants s first class and will be
Jumped and sold on the market, the
money being divided between the grow
ers in proportion to the amount of seed
cotton contributed. In addition to the
prizes therefore the winners will have
a handsome profit for their work and
the ones not fortunate to get a cash
prize will be amply repaid for the time
put in. There is much interest and
conjecture among the boys as to what
the total yield will be.

ZONES LIKE PARCELS

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IA sweep
ing slash in express rates and whole
sale readjustment of the system OF
| paying the railroads for mail handling
are expected to follow close on the in

| The reduction Of express rates is GER
| tain, as the interstate commerce COM
| mission has announced that an order
/ will be made this month making i'm
portantN alterations in rates and pro-
viding for zone or block system Of

for Transporting mail has been SINH
larly brought to an acute focus by the
fact that the railroads are to be called
upon to handle increasing quantities
OF mail at no present increase in pay.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
promised, however, that this matter
will be taken up at once.
General Superintendent Jones Of tic
southwestern department of the Wells

The express companies would volun-
tar:ly reduce rates. He replied:

the matter under consideration and is
expected to hand down a decision soon.

IT is presumed that these suggestions
