REPORTS come to us that the
mail, parcel post and express bust
ness Is enormous, exceeding anything
in the history Of these services. As
an illustration of this fact it is stated
by one OF the Main line posta! clerks
that at the close OF his five-day relay
he left his work at Greensboro, y.
c., with nine mail and express cars
piled to their bell-cords with pack
ages in transit. This, he said, is the
prevailing condition on all runs from
metropolitan points. The clerks and
messengers. he said. are simply una
BILE to handle the immense volume Of
business in the parcel post and ex-
press lines. AS another illustration,
this morning 1t was necessary for
the croSs-country mail carrier from
Seneca to Walhalla to press into SER
vice two Ford cars to carry his mail.
1t was also an hour late.
