LINCOLN, July 4. (Special Telegram.)
The carrier of the ruraJ free da.! very
mall service organised a state association
here today at a meeting In the postofTlce,
which waa attended by upward of 1"- car
riers from throughout the tate. Post
master E. R. Slier of Lincoln rave the
address of welcome and Edward Rone
water of Omaha spoke on the grow th and
development of the mall aervlee. Congress
man E. J. Burkett alao spoke to the car
rier at the morning session.
In the preamble of the conftltutlon the
purpose of the organization 1 outlined aa
follow:
The name of thl association ahall be the
Rural Lulter Carrier association ot Ne
braska. The pure of thl society ahall
be lraternal. and tor the study and adap
tion of the beet method!! ot erformlr.g tue
duties ot rural fr-e a lively service, and
to strive to Increase the revenue oi the
government, also to kk an improvement
in the condition of all it memixrs and to
co-operate with the department fur the
advancement of the rural service.
What Tbey P. pert to Da.
The rural delivery service ha been In
stalled In all of the states In the union
and there are at present more than 16.0
carrier In the service and thl number will
be Increased to etl.ttuu when the route out
lined at present are installed. State or
ganisation of the rami carriers ha al
ready born effected In New York, Indiana,
Michigan. Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa Mis
souri, Oklahoma and Arkansas and the
growth of the organization in these states
has been very rapid.
A portion of the time of the meeting
was taken up in the discussion of ways
and means of Increasing the subscriptions
of dally papers and some attention was
given to the distribution of sample copies
among the patrons of the various routes.
The organization Is essentially a frater
nal organization, but the matter of salaries
la one that will be taken up by the car
rier In the near future and probHbly aa
soon a a national organization Is effected.
The average wage of the rural carriers
at preaent la $600 a year, and tha carrier
la required to furnish and rare for his
horse. The length of the average route
and the condition of the roads requires
two horses and then an extra horse or two
to change off with from day to day. The
expense of caring for the horses Is con
siderable and reduces their salaries pro
portionately. In the cities the carriers
are given an additional 1275 a year for the
cars of the horse, which they use, and one
hone generally suffice. An attempt will
f be made by the association to have an
allowance made to them for the cars ot
their horse similar to that given the city
carrier. When bound together by states
and nationally they feel that they can deal
with the government mors understanding
and with better results than singly.
