Increased co-operation of down- town business men in the “mail early” campaign is expected to result short- 1y in the removal of more men from the night shift at the city post office to daytime work. This additional daylight force will be placed immediately at work han- dling the letters that are collected ! before 4 o'clock on the “quick collec- tion” routes in the greater part o the downtown business section. Recently City Postmaster Chance informed Postmaster General Hays that he had been able, through the co- operation of the citizens, to take some twenty employes off the night shift | 2nd put them on the daytime work. The employes concerned are made happler by working in the normal daytime working hours, it is pointed out; the post office morale is bettered by this increased satisfaction of em- ployes; the postal service generally is bettered by ariything that helps the conditions of employment, and the mailers secure better facilities by the mprovement of the other three fac- tors., 8 Voo e ng been lived in 36 —_— Marriage Licenses.
