To Correct Injustice

San Francisco, Feb. 12-The parcel
posts first snag will be overcome if
the star route contractors of the state
can secure new contracts from the
postoffice department. If not, a bill
will be introduced in congress by Rep
resentative Raker for relief of the
carriers.
So much was decided at the initial
meeting of the star route contractors
of California, organized at the hotel
Terminal A majority of $50 star
routes, covering the entire state, were
represented.
With the Inauguration of the parcel
post, the bulk and weight of rural
mail matter has increased without pro-
2ortionate increase in the rate paid by
the government. The star routes, the
contractors maintain, were originally
and incidentally part Of the stage
lines, but with the tremendous busl-
ness of the parcel post, special freight
teams are necessary throughout the
year.
The following officers were elected:
Nj. B. Jones of Roseville, president;
Harry B. Leonard of San Benito, sec
retary- y-treasurer; Francis Carr of
Redding is the organizations legal ad-
wiser.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The 1O5th
