INTO K WORK
No Rest for Postoffice Santa
Claus Aids Now Until Thurs
day of Next Week.
I
One week from today Christmas will
be over and there is one class of work
ers that will be delighted to see it go.
From today until December 26 every
minute of their working time will be
taken up by strenuous work, and often
their hours will be nearly doubled, for
among all the workers of the United
States only those of Uncle Sam are
called upon to do double duty of Christ
mas day.
Every carrier in the city is strength
ening the straps on his mail bags. Each
day they stagger into the mall rooms
with heavy packs on their backs, only
to stagger out again with packs even
heavier. As Christmas grows nearer,
their work increases in volume, until
on Christmas day it has reached its
topmost pinnacle and they give up their
daj - at home to labor as Santa Clauses
for others.
Inside tl>e postoflice every man from
tlie assistant postmaster down is doing
double duty, either getting ready for
the increasing pres lire or laboring
manfully with the traffic already In
hand. The sale of stamps has Increased
30 per cent; the sale of money orders
has doubit d, while the general delivery
windows '.re besieged b.v an ever
lengthening line thr mghout the day.
Upstairs the Federal court is com
pleting its weary pre-Ctyistmas grind,
praying that a four-day-old case will
end before Monday, when the court at
taches are entitled to a holiday. The
marshal's olhee, the postal Inspector’s
force and many others are. eager for the
holiday wiilci. will be really a holiday
for them.
