WASHINGTON.
! ROOM TO IMPROVE
THE MAIL SERVICE
ON U. S. RAILROAD
(Seward Post.)
There is serious complaint about
the mail service along the government
railroad.
The postal department has stationed
a clerk of the railway mail service
here to look after the dispatching of
mail from Seward to Anchorage and
Iditarod, but the duties of this clerk
end when the mail leaves the office in
charge of the contractor.
Mail for way stations along the
railroad is handled as an accommoda
tion by the train crew.
Handling mail as a favor is wrong
essentially because no responsibility
attaches for lost articles or delay in
handling. Either some one on the
train should be assigned the duty of
handling the mail or the clerk here
should make the trip from Seward to
the end of the line on the mail train
and look after the way service.
U. S. RECEIVES MILLION A
