Council Bluffs. March ol--Subscrib-

Subscribers at Hancock, AvoCa Oak

cities and towns along the Rock Island

have missed their papers; have had
their papers from twelve hours TO
three days late and otherwise been
inconvenienced.
To begin with, one railway postof-
flee No. Il. West Liberty" has been
discontinued and all mail for this
train now goes 10 train No. 5, leaving
Council Bluffs at % a. m.
The train formerly had sixty-foos

This has been changed TO a thirty
foot space in a combination car and
the crew reduced rather more than
correspondence" considering the aug
nentatlon of mail by reason Of the
discontinuance Of No. "a,

Then where formerly the postOffice
department required newspapers TO
sack their own mail in their own Of
fees for each Of the little towns along
tho lines Of railroad, the new eff
fciency' order recently promulgated
compels the putting of all the mail for
all the towns on each line into the
fewest number Of sacks possible, and
trese sacks must be opened by the
nail clerks on the trains and the mail
sorted out for each town
Then the clerks are compelled TO
work first class. or letter mail, before
any other This s right: first class
mail is entitled to this treatment. But
since the reduction of crews, the
clerks are unable to get even their
first class and parcels post mail
worked out, frequently. by the time
re train reaches Des Moines.
In consequence of this congestion,
the clerks are not able 10 get at a
single sack Of newspaper mail on many
Of their trips. This mail having been
hauled thru the town It was destined
for Is thrown into the terminal at
Des Moines and returned several hours
later. This train also suffers from con-
gestion and shortage Of force and
space, so the papers frequently are
again hauled back thru the town they
were TO reach and dumped into the
terminal in Council Bluffs.
The situation in the terminal at
Council Bluffs has been such that the
terminal clerks have been unable at
all times to cope with It. since the
changes come so rapidly.
All newspapers arriving in the ter
ritory affected are having almost the
same experience. Subscribers are asked
TO be lenient in their criticism OF the
newspapers on account Of the delay
Everything possible is being done at
points Of publication to get service
1t is hoped that when the department
discovers the hopelessness Of the stu
alton something will be done to rem
cdy It and newspapers will again be
arriving on time.
