PARCEL POST MAIL
MAY Be ISOLATED
Separation From First-CIass
Matter Seen as Step to
Greater Efficiency.

Railway officials throughout the
country are enthusiastic over plans
being worked out to divorce the
transportation of parcel post from
that of first-class letter mail, Paul
Henderson, assistant postmaster gen.
eral. reported today upon his return
from the west.
While primarily engaged upon di-
recting the transcontinental air mail
trials last week, Mr. Henderson took
occasion to work with the special
committee, composed of Post Office
Department officials. railway men and
representatives of mail order houses
which is meeting in Chicago.
The plan of the committee is to
handle parcel post matter as sort
of gloritied freight, instead of trans
porting it on passenger trains with
the letter mail. as at present
Speed Up Delivery.
This would speed UP delivery of
letters. Mr.. Henderson said. as well
as materially lessen the time neces-
sary for the carrying of most of the
parcels. In no case, he said. would
there be any delay in parcel post de-
livery.
The plans call for the abolition of
the present system of handing parcei
post packages through fifty-eight
railway mail terminals. scattered
throughout the country.
Instead, parcel post would be sort
ed by railway freight divisions, the
present system of sorting by geo.
graphical divisions would be done
away with, and instead parcels would
be routed to the nearest freight di-
vision.
Use Railway Depots.
A plan being worked on calls for
the utilization of parts of railway
freight depotS as parcel post centers
Parcels brought to station would
be sorted for city delivery at the de-
pot and would not be carried to the
post office. This system would save
a double trip from the railway sta
tion to the city post office, and thence
to homes and offices.
Integral with the scheme for rout-
ing the mail by freight divisions is
plan for safer delivery of parcel
post packages which is under consid-
Grafton.
The use of special hampers. either
of steel or heavy canvas reinforced
with steel, is being considered, and
there is every likelihood that they
will be adopted. it was learned today.
At present parcels are placed in mail
bags indiscriminataely, and the bags
thrown into cars.
Might Save Big sum.
1t is believed that the new system
would save the government thousands
of dollars annually in damage claims
for lost and damaged parcel post
matter. Not only would the actual
damage which the government must
pay on insured parcels he saved, but
the damage done to uninsured parcels
would be prevented.
Changes in methods will not neces-
state any action by Congress, but
will be handled as an internal matter
of service administration. under the
direction of the Postmaster General
and his first assistant.
