CLOSED
Carriers and Collectors Out
Before Official Notice
Arrived.

Only one Governmental function
is continuing in full operation to-
day in Washington.
Owing to the fact that the notice
of the closing of all Government
departments came too late to make
possible a change of schedule, the
Washington city pOstoffice will
continue undated service today.
When the notice came, following
the conference between Secretary
of State Hughes and Postmaster
General New, the only Cabinet Off
GERS in the city, and Assistant Post
master General Bartlett, the ma
jority Of the city carriers were al
ready on their routes and the
normal schedule of collections had
been started.
1t was pointed out that the func-
tions of the city postoffice. are so
much more complicated than in the
other branches Of the service that
il is impossible to merely abandon
schedules and let the service come
to a dead halt on short notice with
out hardship 20 the public: It Is
the only government function which
operates in direct touch with the
public.
