5$i The Rural Carriers Of the United
States, OF whom there are forty-two
thousand, have come to the realiza-
tion that it is absolutely necess sary
for them to be organized. There are
at the present time ten thousand
members OF the Rural Carriers asso:
citation. When the representatives Of
these associations petitioned congress
for some much needed legislation
congress turned them down upon the
grounds that they did. not represent
sthe majority Of the rural carriers.
For this reason the association has
awakened to the fact that they must
organize all the rural carriers in
order to get congress to act upon the
desired legislation.
Manchester, Masonville, Delhi and
sHopkinton were represented at the
& meeting. r. M. Bondurant, who was
In attendance for three days at the
state meeting at Waterloo, gave the
association a report Of that meeting.
