Show LETTER CARRIERS TO DELIVER TELEGRAMS Aa a labor conservation measure, the Western Union Telegraph company yesterday yes-terday put into effect a plan by which oversight accumulations of "night letters" let-ters" will be delivered early each morning morn-ing by the postoffice letter carriers instead in-stead of by messengers. It has been found, the company announces, an-nounces, that the postmen and messengers messen-gers cover about the same territory and that the "night letters" can be delivered by the postmen just as early and as effect ef-fect ively as by messenger, thus leaving the depleted messenger force free to deliver de-liver more urgent messages. The company plans to have the night messages delivered deliv-ered on the first morning rounds of the postmen. If earlier delivery is essential it will be made by messenger as usual. |
