Will Have Normal Deliveries.

At $50 O'Clock this morning Mr.. Chance
and Mr.. Haycock were at the city post
office to make certain that things would
move smoothly. One of the buses en-
ployed for the carriers was the old bus
that the Nationals used to ride to and
from the ball grounds during the sum
mer. and an element of humor was in
jected into the situation by the scramble
of the carriers to get the seat that Wal
ter johnson used to occupy.
The business section. of the city will
have its normal deliveries on schedule
time and without interruption, and mail
collections will be made as usual
TO expedite matters, the carriers for
the outlying districts and those quite
distant from the city post office, will
be taken to and from the post office
and their routes, or the nearest station
of the post office, and will assemble at
the stations for the return trips
Postmaster Chance said TO-DAY I'VE
have overcome infinitely more difficult
problems in handling Christmas and
holiday mails, and a little thing like
a street car strike has no terrors for

But His Fellow Unionists Make Him

That some of the striking employees of
the local traction companies are not
familiar with customary strike prac-
tees was indicated by many incidents

where the strikers had congregated
Washington has not had street car
strike for number of years and, it is
stated that few of the conductors ard
motormen who have walked out" have
ever participated in a strike before.
At one lunchroom this morning a
number of strikers were talking about
the meeting of the railway men sched-
uled to be held later in the day at
Typographical Temple. One conductor
suggested that several of his fellow
workers meet at an appointed time and
ride down town on the street car to-
gether.
What! ride on a scab car. You're
crazy, man" exclaimed one of the
strikers standing nearby.
"D'you mean to say that we have got
to walk all the way down town to at
tend the meeting of the union? was
the conductors inquiry.
''Of course you have, unless you own
an auto or can get ride on a jitney"
replied the other striker.
ooh. gee. that's tough" said the
other.
