Appeal for Aid

Drop mail received at railway mail
cars in Brownsville, San Benito and
Harrington, has increased to such an
extent that the railway mail force
often is unable TO handle all Of the
mail until il is carried past its des-
tination and must De %rerouted, nc
cording TO a letter received here Fri
day by Postmaster G.. W. bennett
from S. VI. Gaines, superintendent Of
mail for this division at Fort Worth,
This increase in drop mail obviously
slows down delivery Of some Of the
mail. IL was pointed out.
The railway mail force was added
TO the regular mail forces, the letter
stated, originally TO handle such mail
as came through regular channels.
Every railway mail clerk has i~nstruc-
tions TO handle the mail from the
post offices first, then the drop mail.
When the regular mail is heavy and
there is a heavy drop mail picked up
along the route Of the train, the work
is often too much for the clerk to
handle and he must Of necessity miss
some Of the mail and report it to his
superior.
Postmaster bennett said II appar-
emily was the intention Of Supcrin-
tendent Gaines TO call attention NJ
the people TO the fact that the drop
