rives at 10 a. m. and the last outgoing mail
train leaves at 3,2O p. m. If sent by boat 1t
would leave at 5 p. M, be transferred at Rock

rive in Boston early the next m orning. Pc
tition asking for this change will be addressed

POSTAL HOLIDAY PLANS
UPSET BY DEPARTMENT
Order to Prevent Delay Of Mails Re-
suits in Carriers Being Forced
49,. to Work.

Orders from the Postofice Department
for an early morning mall delivery
throughout the United States yesterday
spoiled the plans of Postmaster Chance,
of Washington. to give all letter carriers
here a fun holiday. AS a result, the mail
men reported for duty early yesterday.
The Thanksgiving parcel post mail was
the heaviest in the history of the depart
ment. Provisions for hundreds of Thanks
giving dinners were delivered by the
trucks of the postoffice in the morning.
Thanksgiving letters and postcards, too,
made the mail extraordinary heavy.
The order by which an early delivery
was made imperative throughout the
country was issued. it was said at the
Postoffice Department, because Of many
requests from postmasters for a general
rule. Many said that business conditions
in their cities made one delivery neces-
sary. and some of the postmasters did not
want to shoulder the responsibility Of
holding up mails for twenty-four hours.
There were a great number of post
masters who did not want this respon-
sibilty.' said First Assistant Postmaster
General Roper. They asked for instruc-
tons. Many asked for rule for general
guidance. Heretofore the matter of de-
liveries on holidays has been left entirely
10 the discretion of postmasters."
