Rules Regarding
2. O. Substitutes

men for the service, the post office
department allows a substitute, aft
or receiving appointment to engage in
other business until they are re
quired for work as substitute to the
Office to which they are attached.
This results in the distribution of
the work to less number of subst-
tutes and assures them fair amount
of work. One great objection to en-
tering the service in times past has
heen the long periods of irregular
work in the substitute positions
