Especial CorresOondenv0

Washington, July 15.--Despite the
disquieting reports throughout the
country, especially in the West and
Southwest, regarding the action of
striking railway employees in hold
ing up United States mail trains,
information received at the Post
office Department shows that there
is ample mail train service available.
While in few instances there has
been little delay in mail transpor-
tation, there has been no serious
interruption, according to Second
Assistant Postmaster General Hen
derson.
At the request of Postmaster Cen
eral Work the War Department has
forwarded to the Postoffice Depart
ment an estimate of the number of
planes and pilots available for trans
porting mail in the event of tie-up
of railroad transportation.
The army air service has 131
planes and 10 pilots ready for ser
vice at 13 fields widely distributed
over the states. Each plane is capable
Of CARRYING on an average 400 pounds
Of mail 1t is estimated that these
planes could carry 52,400 pounds of
mail a day. 1t is said that the Navy
planes available could carry more
mail than those operated by the
army.
