on shippers whose Consignments
needed attention.
One of the most serious problems
that the express company has to face
is that of mo mark express matter
the agent stated. These are shipments
which, because of their Inadequate
packing or marking, lose all trace Of
identification either of the shipper or
the consignee, and must be sent to
mo mark bureau where an effort is
made to put them on the right track
The use of tags was discouraged, ex-
cept where absolutely necessary. and
then two should be added.
The present campaign is regarded as
one of the most significant and i'm
portant steps taken by the transporta-
ton agency for the betterment of its
service The local meetings here
were held simultaneously with SINH
lar gatherings Of express employees in
every city and town in the country.
A second meeting of the series will
be held next week and other topics Of
pertinent interest to the campaigl
will be taken up.
