Experienced and efficient people are
only employed, for repair work must
be well done before the bags can again
be permitted to enter the service.
The number repaired and placed In
good condition during gthe past year
was over a million.
One of the difficulties connected
with this repairing process, which was
also somethinggo I a hardship to the
operators was hte accumulated dirt
and dust which attached to these
bags when returned from the service
and which was a menace to the health
OF those so employed. No attention
has ever been paid o the dangerous
and unsanitary conditions under
which this work was done. No at
tempt to cleanse these bags from the
~ NE
foul impurities they gathered and col
lected had ever been made and those
employed at the work, men and Wo-
men, were forced to inhale the dust
which an ordinary shaking out by
hand fails to remove, which was COO
siderable, as the shaking out process
was hastily and imperfectly done.
The official in charge saw the need OF
a change to better methods, and
steps were at once taken to discover
it. Correspondence was had with
manufacturers Of machinery both in
this and foreign countries. A system
was finally adopted consisting got
large tumbling barrels, each having a
capacity for holding several hundred
bags. Driven rapidly by electric pow.
er, the dust confined to a tightly CON
structed room and carried of by blow
ers and lodged In immense canvass
receptacles, resembling a dirigible ba'
loon when mated, his process was
found thoroughly suitable, for care.
full tests showed that all dust was com
pletely removed. Four thousand q
day are treated by this process.
The life of a mail bag is about siz
years, but the rough usage to which
1t is exposed renders many of them
unfit for repair. Such bags pass into
the hands Of expert inspectors who
utilize such parts as still have some
good material left In making what Il
known as "pieced bags" Many arr
thus reclaimed and returned to the
service, constituting with the sale o.
condemned material, the salvage o.
the mail bag repair shop. The bag
or parts Of bags which can not b,
utilized are sold under yearly contrac
to the highest bidder. The amour
thus realized and turned into tn,
treasury for the past year was owe
$4,000.
The advent of the parcel post an
the general increase in postal bus
mes has made it necessary t enlarg'
the scope Of the repair shop, becaus'
at times It was found impossible t
obtain bags from the contractor !
quantities sufficient to meet the de
mand. Al manufacturing feature wa
therefore added, and during the pas
two years over a quarter of a million
bags have been produced without ad
ditional expense for labor or hardship
to the employees. These figures Q
prudent and economical manage
ment and thoughtful regard for tn
employment is thought worthy of men
interests OF those engaged in succl
ton, and this story OF achievement
has therefore been written.
