Realizing the handicap which the

Ito remove this handicap and give

3 cents each. OF the new style, out
of the great number sent into the
service, but 900 have been returned
and as these new style locks can be
repaired at q cost OF cents each,
the annual saving ON this item will
amount to over 400.
The Department has in this adj
ministration encouraged its employ
es to give their best service to the
government and many instances have
recently come to notice wherein the
Department has greatly protited by
this wise public policy. In the lock
shop q recent achievement in this
direction is an improved cord fast
ener, the work of three of its en-
ployees, for use on bags; also one
designed for locking large quantities
of parcel post matter, which has
heretofore been without this protec-
ton. 1t can be made at q very low
price, requiring less material and
fewer number OF operations. The
significant part Of it lies in the great
number required in the service, be-
tween three and four million, the
output being 100000 annually. AS
the cost has been reduced by the
new method from IL to cents
each, it will be seen what splendid
showing this makes for administra-
tive economy.
Another valuable improvement has
been the perfected locking cord fast
ener designed for use on tie sacks
something which the Department for
years has needed and vainly endeav
ored to accomplish. This device will
be of great value to the postal SER
vice at large by increasing the ca
pacity and efficiency OF mail bags tc
degree difficult to estimate The
modern system of business methods
and the proper encouragement Of em-
ployees to take an active and earn
est interest IN their work, both of
which desirable features this admin
istration Of the Department has fav-
oreds and pnt into practice. = r.
