this year show an increase of 23.3
per cent over the first six months
business OF 1922. the month of July,
1923, leaps far ahead of this with a
49.2 per cent increase over July 1922.
Within the last year and a half
the number of residences served by
carrier service has leaped from about
1000 to near $500. The building pro-
gram on now is the greatest in tho
history of Casper and It is safe to
predict that by the end of 1923 there
will be at least 5000 homes included
in the daily mail deliveries. While the
has not been appreciably added to
per cent recently.
During February. 1928, q record
was kept of the calls made at the
general delivery window. The daily
average was 400. This same record.
ing of calls was made last month and
the daily average was shown to be
1855 persons making inquiries. q big
jump upward of a 70 per cent Increase
of the business transacted by the gen.
eral delivery window in the last half
year. Since general delivery business
largely handles newcomers until per-
manent residence and address have
been found. some idea is indicated as
to The growth Of population.
"The post office Is the real up-to-the
minute and accurate barometer of To-
cal business and popu'ation." declares
Postmaster Bean. "Other businesses
show to some extent, though tardily
h trend of business but the post
office is the only n that registers
the daily fluctuations and general
conditions at the moment"

NEW ENGLAND FEARS
LOSING COTTON MILLS
Migration Already Has Started.
Textile Editor Tells
Legislature.
Rx the Associate Press.

=
BOSTON. February l6.-The effect
of southern mill competition upon
the textile industry in New England
was emphasized by E. Howard Ben
nett, editor OF the American Wool
and Cotton Reporter. in advocating
before a legislative committee yester-
day a bill to change the minimum
weekly hours Of labor in mills in this
state from forty-eight to fifty-four.
Legislators from textile centers and
labor leaders opposed the bill.
''lt is not an idle threat that the
textile mills OF Massachusetts, will
move south" said Mr.. Bennett; "they
are already started"
He asserted that many operatives
did not wish their working hours re-
stricted. The south. he said. was con-
Quoting an aggressive campaign to
transfer northern mills to that sec
tion.
Senator John Halliwell Of New Bed
ford said that il the forty-eight-hour
law should be repealed or changed to
the detriment OF the workers the
state would see IAN industrial cataa-
trophe beside which the Rhode Island
strike of 1922 would be a mere Incl
dent" If the textile industry could
not succeed in this state on the forty
eight-hour basis, he added the citi-
zens would lose nothing in its remov-
al TO the south.
