POST OFFICE DOORS LOCKED
Rowdyism In Lobby Causes Clos
ing of Office During Distribu-
ton of Mail

Many patrons Of your Uncle Samuel
received a decided shock Thursday after
noon when they went to the Post Office
for their mail shortly after the arrival
Of the stage aud found the front doors
OF the Office locked-and they remained
locked for a little over an hour, or until
the incoming mail had been distributed
and was ready for delivery.
Postmaster Broy states il was found
necessary to take this action on account
of the noise, racket and rowdyism that
now occurs regularly in the front en-
trance of the Office during the distribu-
ton Of the mail. and that the noisy dis
turbances have recently become so an
noying that it was found impossible to
work to any advantage and the distribu-
ton Of the mail was unnecessarily de-
layed.
Mr.. Broy says he has talked and
threatened. and has called on the peace
officers to stop the noise and rough
house tactics in the lobby Of the office.
but it has done little good, for as o o
as their backs were turned the exuber-
ant spirits Of Young America broke
forth with renewed activity. and he
had finally decided to take action under
Section 268 of the Postal Laws and
Regulations which provides that:
post offices must not be allo wed to
become resorts for loungers or disorderly
persons. or the scenes of disputes or
controversies. Smoking may be pro-
hibited in the lobbies. Whenever neces-
sary postmasters should call ON the civil
authorities to preserve order. and if
they refuse to do so, the Office should
be closed"
1t is understood the front doors will
be closed again to-day during the dis
tribntion of the mail, but the doors will
not he closed on the arrival of the mail
next Tuesday. when it is hoped every.
body will then preserve a proper de
corum and all be ON their good behavior
in the future-as least around the post.

Amendments to the law are recon.
mended as follows: A correction called
for is the compensation Of deputy regis
trars. In some of the counties no such
appointments have been made; in
others deputies have been installed, but
no compensation allowed. In view of
the fact that the local registrar snd his
deputies are the collectors of all statisti.
cal information. surely they should be
compensated, either by a fixed sa larry
or, as obtains in some States. a certain
SUN should be allowed for each certif-
cate ~emanating from them.
The law should also be amended as to
compel physicians, under penalty. to re.
