ments month or 100000 year, &c
astray because tags or labels have
been torn off, thus removing all
means of locating either the shipper
or the consignee.
Agent e. B. Council, who conduct
ed the meeting of the Office en-
ployes, laid emphasis on the fact
that better packing and better mark
ing would cure this evil.

growth of tho express business in re-
cent years, Agent Council stated that
more than 300,0O0,0O0 shipments a
year are being handled by the Amer
