Before -the Presidential Postmasters'
association n.ct this morning the
fourth-class postmaster held a meet
ing at 8:30 with a view of completing
their organization. A largo number
of them were present. The keynote
of tholr meeting was that they were
strongly In favor of being pSaced In the
classified service under civil service
rules. It Is prohnble that at their
second meeting this afternoon a resolu
tion to this effect will be Introduced
and adopted.

was of the opinion that the department
at Washington should allow a stated
salary to fourth-class postofflces, In ac
cordance with the work done hv each.
It should also own all boxes and equip
ment.
Mandelle principal Speaker
R. B. Mundelle of the bureau of the
third assistant postmaster-general, was
tne principal speaker of the mornlntr
He took as his subject "Office System
in the Handling of Registered Mall."
He began by stating that since the re
organization of this branch of the work
by the department the money order anj
registry systems are being much more
appreciated by the people nB j, evi

the figure reached 34.000,000. bosses
during the seven years hal decreased

Mundelle stated that he was one of
the three men selected in 1900 to re-

It was 10:30 when President Mlnto
called tho presidential postmasters to
order. Secretary-Treasurer Johnson of
Corvallis sent word that on account of
illness he would not be able to be pres
ent before noon, and Postmaster Tates
of Hood River was selected to act in
his place for the morning.
M. K. Page, president of the Fourth
Class Postmasters' association, was the
first speaker, reading a paper on "Post
masters of the fourth Class." The
; fourth-class postmasters, he said, con- j
; stituto the most numerous, the poorest
! paid and the least recognized of the
I postofflce employes. An effort, he said,
j Is to be made to place them in the clas
i slfled service, where they would he
! working on their merits and not suOiect
' to discharge at the wtiim of politicians.
1 In no other way, he said, could Im-
Wlfs Buaplciona.
The speaker dwelt upon the fact that
when the postofflce accepts a registered
letter or package, it enters into a con
tract with the sender, which contract is
not terminated until the piece has been
delivered and the sender has received
his receipt. Referring to the delivery
of registered letters lndorsd "deliver to
addressee only," Mr. Mundelle said, "In
many instances where a wlfjs Is denied
her husband's registered mall, a suspi
cion arises in the good wife's mind, and
I regret to say that in too many cases
the suspicion is Justified." But he re
minded the postmasters again that the
contract is with the sender, not the ad
dressee, and must bo carried out.
"It Is the intention of the depart
ment," said the speaker, "so to Improve
the system of handling registered mail
that In time we shall have a perfect
system. It la to that end that I ask
your cooperation."
Postmastera important Factor.
The postmaster, Mundelle said, has
the ear of the people. They all come to
turn wnere tney wnuia not think of go
ing to the department, so the latter
must oepena upon tne postmaster to
keep it informed of the needs of the
people. The postofflce department In
the nature .of things must be more
closely in touch with the freneral pub
lic than is any other branch of the government.
I he sneaker told the fourth-class lions.
postmasters that the administration
didn't want them to consider the depart
ment as a great bugaboo. "We're all
only clerks," he said.
At the close of his talk Mr. Mundelle
was asked a great many questions of
a technical nature by the members, all
of which he answered readily. The ses
sion is being continued this afternoon.
In addition to the list of postmasters
published in Tha Journal yesterday, the
following have since registered at tha

Criticism of Department.
At the session yesterday afternoon
several it! the postmasters mildly critl
cised tho department for its tendency to
look upon the money order and registry
departments as of more importance than
the letter handling department. Post
master Johnson of Corvallis, who is
secretary of the association, was the
first to point out this apparent defect
In tho working of the postofflce depart
ment. He was of the opinion that the
first and most important duty of the
department is the handling of letter
mall and he thought undue Importance
waa attached to those branches which
have to do with the handling of money.
Heveral of the postmasters In attend
ance took the same view of the matter.
President Mlnto. however, defended the
department on this score, taking the
ground that the matter of the distribu
tion of mail 13 one that lies between
the postmasters and tho public while
the affairs of the money order and reg
istry departments are moro directly be
tween the postmasters and the depart-i
ment at Washington.
i-d Hostetter, postmaster at The
Dalles, In his paper on "Postofflce Man
agement," recommended that some ar
rangement should be made by which it
would bo possible for the inspectors to
visit the various offices more frequent

that the work of the postofflcea is
