POST OFFICE WARS
ON SIGNS MISUSE
Claim Cars of U. S. Depart
ments Are illegally Labelled
Postal Trucks.

Postmaster Mooney of the Wash
ington city post Office TO-DAY took
steps to break up the practice of
automobiles from other departments
carrying signs bearing the words
United States Mail" upon the sides.
following accidents which indicate
postal trucks are involved.
1t is the practice of several of the
departments, postal officials said to-
day, to place such signs upon the
cars which bear letters and other
government mail matter 10 the city
post office for mailing.
No authorization whatever has been
given for such use of signs. \ gov
ernment department has no more
right to use such a sign than has d
private individual.
Such unauthorized use of homemade
signs would plainly be a violation Of
law on the part of private individuals.
and il is believed that 1t equally is d
violdt tion of postal laws and regula-
tions on the part of government de-
partmentS.
Blame Falsely Placed.
When such department automobiles
become involved III a traffic accident.
il was declared. the public immcdi-
ately fixes the blame upon the postal
service.
Such improper placing of blame be-
comes doubly distressful to postal
officials. who this week are conduct
ing a campaign to cut down the num-
ber of accidents in which Legitimate
postal service trucks are involved.
Once before the question of unau-
thorized display of United States
mail" signs on cars of various de-
partments was brought to the atten-
tion of various department heads and
the abuse was lessened at that time
Recently, however. Postmaster
Mooney declares, the abuse grew up
again. The postmaster took the mat
ter up today with Postmaster General
New 1t Is likely that the heads of
other departments will have their at
tention called to the matter again.

BUSINESS men
PULL TOGETHER
Fine Spirit Shown in Expo
Says Rex Smith

The Northwest Products exposition
was remarkable example N the
spirit OF cooperation that exists
among Seattle business men. y. Rex
smith told the members OF the North
West Products committee OF the
Chamber OF Commerce at their meet.
Ing Thursday noon, Smith paid a
high tribute 10 the members OF his
committee. stating that at none OF
It's many meetings was there any
friction or any manifestations OF sci.
FISH interest.
Both before the show and during
It's existence. A" said Smith. there was
exemplified the finest spirit Of Co
operation Tor the good OF the show
and the whole community. Every
body put his shoulder 10 the wheel
with broad vision OF aiding the
whole Pacific Northwest, showing
that not only Is the old Seattle
spirit still alive. but Il has broadened
It's scope and lost whatever selfish
Viewpoint Il may have had.
"we are living so close TO. our
selvc. that We are quick 20 magnify
our own clashes OF views and inter
csts. and imagine that other com.
mnnilies work more harmonlously.
This Is not the case. believe that
Seattle business men. when they
start anything. work as harmonious
II and as wholo-heartedly as those OF
any community. and better than
those OF many,
"During the show have talked 10
merchants who came from other
coast cities to study our exposition.
and they have all expressed surprise
al what seemed TO them to be n re
markahle example OF the business
men Of city pulling together, The
voluntary expressions OF admiration
al the way Seattle merchants CO
operate IN such an enterprise was
one OF the most impressive things
brought ou, by the exposition"
