During the many years which our
present postmaster, Clarence Manter
has been in the postal service, there
has been an almost uninterrupted in
crease in the holiday mail The
present year is no exception so far
as that received and despatched from
the Skowhegan postoffice is concern
ed Seemingly, there is larger
number of packages and greater
total weight OF Christmas mail mat
ter than in any previous season There
is one very gratifying feature and
that is, that the constant preaching Of
Early Shopping" doctrine has had
its effect The Christmas rush comes
on earlier and was not concentrated in
the last few days as it used to be.

Chief Of Brotherhood Says Lack Of
Preparation for Winter is Cause
of Great Congestion.

Washington. Feb. 13.-Lack OF prep
aration by the railroads to meet the
winter weather was the cause OF the
great traffic congestion, Warren S.
Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, today told
the railroad wage commission, in ask
ing for a minimum wage of Sc day
and penalty of time and half Tor
overtime.
Many railroads went into the win
ter with no provision for taking care
of their motive power" he said.
There were no doors on roundhouses,
no means of heating. l know one in
stance where twenty-five to thirty en-
gines were kept burning all night
using perhaps one ton of coal an hour
each to keep them from freezing"
Long hours worked by railroad men,
Mr.. Stone denounced as menAce to
public safety.
More than half the engineers of the
country receive less than $50 a month
he said.
Employment Of women in the place
of men also was condemned by Mr.
Stone. He said women now were
being used as engine wipers, cindar
shovelers, lumber pliers, freigh,
truckers and for other dirty and heavy
