Davis Causes Seri ous Delays In Mails Service Crippled By Taking Off Experienced Men and Putting Them On Extra List. "Washington, Nov. 10 At a large man meettns of railway postal rlerks holiV Thursday, night at the Continental hotel In Washington, vigorous resolutions were adopted protesting- against the recommenda tiona of traveling Assistant Super intendent james L. Davis to curtail the railway mail service In the third division, which consists of the Dis trict of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia and West Vir ginia. A number of representatives of the railway postal clerks from each of these states were present at the meeting and gave detailed informa tion showing how recent reorganisa tion orders were resulting In serious delay to the mails through insuffi cient mall car space and a reduction In forces to the point where it was Impossible for the employes to com plete distribution inv the mall ears. It was stated at the meeting by rail way postal clerks who were haryi llng the malls that instances had happened recently where important TEN-MINUTE Indigestion and its attendant Ills such as dyspepsia, heart-burn, sour stomach, griping pains, dysentery, diarrhoea, colic cholera morbus, chonlo constipation, gas. etc., and svea sick nervous headaches (ire cMreotly traceable to disorders In the digestive organs and can now be quickly relieved with new cordial called "Anti-Ferment," originated by a druggist aad recommended by phy sicians.

This, of course, results In a delay In delivery to destination of about 24 hours. Other facts'were cited by speakers at the meeting to show that it is an almost dally occurrence at Washing ton for -mail trains- to arrive from New York city and the New England stales with a large volume of letter mail undistributed for close connec tion with departing trains for Vir Kinla, W est Virginia and North Car olina. The assertion was made that this resulted In a delivery delay from 12 to 34 hours. It was also shown that certain paper mails reaching the Washington gateway for the state of Florida are held to fill a storage car which is dlspatchca only once in every 4 hours. The meeting developed the feet that on most of the truck mall lines, orders had been issued not to dis tribute weekly or monthly papers in the mall cars but that they should be shipped to the -terminals for iMvrrt bution; resulting in long unnecessary hauls and delays In many Instances. From other statements made by the clerks In the meeting. It appears that it Is sometimes- necessary to leave mall at towns along a road be cause space In the mall cars lias been reduced to the point where it Is Impossible to take on all the mail offered to the train ' enroute. Such malls are delayed until picked up by a following train, which is fre quently many hours, service in this division was largely It was stated at the meeting that this condition of the railway mail the result of the reports and recom mendations of traveling Asslstan Superintendent James L. Davis, who had gone over the heads of the supervisory officials In charge of the division, who are familiar with local conditions and the needs of the pa trons of the service. The mass meet ing asked the removal of Assistant Superintendent Davis from the third division and the postofflce commit tees will be given a statement of facta relative to the delay of malls In this division, with a request tor an impartial investigation. It was shown that although this was the beginning of the usual annual heavy volume of southern malls during the winter, that many experienced rail way postal clerks needed to dis tribute It, had recently been taken off the roads and placed on the "surplus" or extra list. The following resolutions were unsnlmously sdopted by the mass ..:..
