Postal Officials Ask Cooperation On Early Mailing

III pIOpcIly p1CPd4 LIE dAAu poSA ing mail intended for Christmas delivery to insure prompt delivery and to avoid damage in the mails.
 To insure prompt delivery of { Christmas greetings to relatives and friends, verify address on mail and be sure that complete address is given, including street and number.
 The rate on letters and Christ-s mas cards in sealed envelopes is 3 cents per ounce or fraction for out of town delivery, and 2 cents per ounce or fraction for local delivery. Christmas cards in un= sealed envelopes, provided no writ- ten message is encolsed, may be sent for 1 Ia cents each. Private mailing cards or post cards outside of envelopes are mailable at cents each. It is suggested that all Christmas cards be sent as sealed first class mail, as the unsealed's cards at 1-2 cents each do not receive directory service and are not returnable, but if undeliverable are destroyed as waste.
 To avoid congestion at stamp windows, patrons should purchase stamps in advance. Convenient books of stamps are available in denominations of 1 cent, 2 cent and 3 cent stamps. Patrons mailing < several letters or cards should tie them in bundles with all cards or letters faced one way, before de-s posting in the mails. This avoids unnecessary handling and insured prompet treatment. Such bundles of letters or cards may be deposited early if desired, and they will be put in the mails for Christmas delivery.
 Mail parcel post packages early and mark Do not open untilrl Christmas. This inSureS delivery by regular employees, careful handl- < ing and prompt service. Parcels should be carefully packed in dur able containers and should be marked Fragile, Perishable, Liquid, etc., as the case may be. On per-s ishable articles it is suggested that s special delivery service also be used. Valuable parcels should be insured. The fees are from cents up, according to the value of con- tents and insurance protects par-a eel against loss, damage and theft Insurance fee is in addition to regular postage.
 The post office has considerable; { trouble with odd shaped and small envelopes used to contain Christ mas greetings. Small or add shaped cards should not be used and it is suggested that envelopes no smaller than 3-4 inches by q inches be used.

Wire Merger Hearing
Sought by c. |. O. Group

The International Executive
Board Of the American Communi-
cations Association, a c. I. o. af-
filiate, announced today it will ask
the Federal Communications Com
mission to reconsider its recent de-
cision to keep a hands-off policy in
connection with proposals to merge
the two telegraph companies. The
committee said that it will demand
that the commission hold an open
hearing to which representatives of
the public, the American Commu-
nications Association and the COM
munications companies would be
invited.
The committee said a merger OF
the two companies would adverse
ly affect the welfare of employees of
both the Western Union and Postal
Cos.
In declining the suggested con-
ference, the Communications Com
mission held that it was without
authority to engage in such a con-
ference. 1t was pointed out that
in 1885 it recommended to Congress
that the commission be cloaked
with such authority, but it was not
acted upon.

Mrs. Anna Greenbach, 81.
Il hate to do this because of
my sweet baby, but I can't stand
to live after all the man trouble
I am having"
With these words left behind
her in a lengthy note, Mrs. Green,
bach, a waitress, and mother of a
4-year-old son, blasted life from %.
year-old Howard e. Armfield, in
an apartment, and then fired a
bullet into her head from her auto
matte.
In her death note, written on
the back of a rent receipt, the
woman told of being pursued con.
stantly by two men, one Of them
Armfield, and of threats by one
to blackmail her if she would not
marry him.
Armfield, the note said, did not
know she was already married and
had a child. She did not say
whether or not she was estranged
from her husband.

carrying her players to the

they had to hitch-hike three

after being tied up since Friday
afternoon by a strike Of CIO or.
ganized drivers.
Each cab reporting for work
was accompanied by policeman.
The officers sat in the seat with

men was on hand at the cab COM
pany office and as drivers left for
the days work policemen climbed
into the cabs.
LEADER SEIZED
Cab company officials said
many Of the men reporting fer
work we're old employees.
The drivers are demanding
shorter hours and higher per
centage of the fares.
Federal Judge Borah postponed
until July Is the hearing on the
petition of the CIO to restrain
police from "intimidating and in
terfering with CIO members"
The postponement was to give
lawyers further time to study the
case and prepare additional mo-
tions. Reports were that some
sort of compromise agreement will
be attempted.
Late yesterday Joseph w. Low
EFT, CIO organizer who called the
Yellow Cab strike, was arrested by
police and jailed. He was seized
while addressing meeting at the
CIO headquarters and was booked
on q charge of melting a riot.
The charges were filed in connec-
ton with remarks he is alleged
to have made Sunday at a meet
ing of strikers.
CLAIMS PEACE AIM
Iovett denied the police charges,
saying:
II have never melted riot in
my life. I have always asked the
boys to conduct the strike on a
peaceful basis"
Police took into custody IL
other persons in connection with
the strikes, although yesterday
was free from strike clashes.
