voR OF GOVERNMENT BOND
ING OWN. EMPLOYEES INSTEAD
OF. ALLOWING PRIVATE COM
pANlEs TO MAKE BIG PROFIT.

A federal bonding bureau for the
bonding Of government employees in
place of the private bonding compa~
MES which are now taking care Of this
work meets with the hearty approval
of Postmaster Plumley, who was ask
ed by one Of the large eastern compa-
MES yesterday what was his opinion
of the bills recently introduced in con-
gress providing for this federal bond
ing bureau.
The large. companies are making a
strenuous fight on these bills, and are
gathering all the data they can get on
the subject from postmasters, and
others.
Mr.. Plumley believes that these
companies are now making a great
deal Of money on the bonding Of gov
eminent employees which could just as
we'll be saved. He read a paper on this
subject before the annual convention
of postmasters last year, in which he
showed the for the year ending June
80. 1912. the bonding companies car
ried SAT-, O20, 900 in bonds for govern
ment employees. On this mount they
made e profit of over $350,000, paying
out to the government in reimburse
ments only $1S.529.12.

per cent on dressed meats, livestock
and packing houses products are being
prepared by the Eastern RAILWAYS for
submission to the Interstate Commerce

the new rates would be suspended

The present rate on dressed beef
between New York and Chicago is as
cents per 100 pounds on a minimum

Is proposed by the roads to advance
the rate to 90 cents per 100 and in
crease the minimum carload weight
to II. 900 pounds. These two factors
would Increase the transportation
charges per car from 500 to s105. or
