ON and after April 3, every piece
of freight, shipped in less than car
load lots. must be properly address,
ed, packed, tagged and wrapped and
tied with certain kind of cord when
the latter is necessary. This puts
an end to marking about one pack
age out of ten, when shipments to
one person number 10 or over. In
plain words, there will be some real
cussing on the part of some ship
pers when this new rule goes into
effect
Tag Each Piece
1t means that any firm shipping
100 or more steel plates. must tag
each plate with the name of the
shipper, and the name of the person
or firm to whom the shipment is be-
ing made. If there he 10 or more
packages of cereal, sugar, canned
goods, bran, or grain of any kind,
one tag on each piece OF freight will
be necessary. This is said to be the
most radical change vet made in
shipping rules. 1t is known as Rule
No. 3. and according to notices re-
ceived yesterday by local freight
agents for all railroads is as follows:
Rule Complete
Section 1. Freight. when delivered
to carriers to be transported at less
than carload or any quantity ratings,
must be marked in accordance with
the following requirements and spe-
Citications. except as provided in
Section OBJ of this Rule or other
wise provided in specific items in
this Classification or in the Inter
state Commerce Commissions Regu-
lations for the Transportation of
Dangerous Articles, other than EX-
plosives by Freight. If these re-
quirements and specifications are
not complied with, freight will not
be accepted for transportation.

MANY DEMANDS
ON MAIL SERVICE
Postmaster Sites Asks BuSi-
nessmen to Cooperate
Far as Possible

Earlier attention to business let
ters and mail is urged by Postmaster
Frank C. Sites. In letter issued to-
day he points out delays caused by
holding mail until close of business
each day. The letter says:
AT the beginning of the war the
Post Office Department announced
its opposition TO any curtailment or
restriction of the postal service, and
in the face of adverse conditions has
endeavored to maintain this policy.
The disarrangement of traffic con-
ditions throughout the country in
cident to war is no doubt generally
recognized, but it is felt that if one
feature is brought clearly to the at
tention of the business world much
benefit will result to all.
"RearrangementS effected from
time to time with a view to eX-
pediting shipments of war material
have brought about large reduction
in facilities available for transporta-
ton of the mails. This, in connec-
ton with the abnormal increase in
bulk of mailings. has resulted in
greatly overburdening the service
during some portions of the day and
in delay and congestion at some
points
"At present it is the practice of
many businessmen and firms to hold
practically all outgoing mail until
late afternoon or early evening
hours. This necessitates the facing.
cancellation, distribution, pouching
and dispatching of from sixty to
eighty per cent. of all outgoing mat
ter within a period of three or four
| hours. 1t is apparent that If this
work could be distributed over
| twelve or, fourteen hours not only
would it be handled with greater ia
cility but its dispatch would be has
tened many hours.
"The loss and inconvenience which
might result from such delay is fully
realized and for this reason every
effort is made by this Office to render
the best service possible in the cir
cumstances. 1t is possible that the
manner in which mailings are de-
posted has never been made the sub
! ject of study by the business world
"In view of these statements may
/ not urge upon you the necessity OF
depositing your mail in the post of
| fee or street collection boxes not onlS
earlier in the day. but as frequent
| ly as may be feasible. 1t would also
tend to relieve congestion and fa-
cilitate the handling and dispatch
of the mails IL heavy mailers would
make it regular practice to have
all letters and circular mail, as well
as catalogs, pamphlets, etc, bearing
uncanceled stamps, properly faced
and tied for cancellation. with the
short and long letters separated
THE Post office Department de-
sires to emphasize the fact that il
| is not urging this action as an eco
nomical measure but for the pur-
pose of meeting, as far as possible
the present complicated situation in
' cident to war activities"

The Dispatch and Senator Dan A. Sutherland and former Senator Frank A. Aldrieh are very much peeyed because Attorney General George B.

 The charge against MT. Grigsby is not true, but that is aside from the point of this story.
 Records at the Governors office show that former Senators Aldrich and Sutherland like public money very well if they have color of legal title to 1t whether they earn it or not They claim that MT. Grigsby was paid for trips that should not have been made, but they were paid for trips that were not made at all.
