The matter Of merging the rural car

carriers is expected to be brought up
for consideration at the second annual
convention of the Indiana Federation OF
Rural Letter Carriers, the opening SEES
sion Of which win be held at the Deni-
son Hotel tonight.
Another matter that will be brought
up, in the form Of a resolution, will be
the following dsmands-an allowance for
maintenance Of an automobile and equip
ment. cash allowance for the en-
ployment of assistant carriers in winter
on all routes of fifty miles or more and
a civil service court of appeals in which
cases of discharged carriers may be
heard.
Tt is explained that while carriers
with ffty-miIe routes are able to de-
liver their mail on time in the summer,
deep SHOWS and bad roads in the winter
sometimes make this impossible, and
that it is necessary therefore to employ
assistants at times. Heretofore, 1t Is
