St'PT. MACHKN HERE.
Sunorlntondont nt Vmn ni'ivM
Mnchen was one of the noon irr'vals
nnd from the time he had finished
luncheon till he retired ho woh the
center of an admiring group. It
might be said he was compelled Jo run
a continuous reception. No one In the
department Is more popular with th"
carriers than he and they lose no op
portunity of making liltn feel tin, lie
Is a very pleasant nnd iiffu'l- man
and In tho matter of personal ap
pearance would be picked out of any
crowd as a man worth knowing
He expressed himself to a Tribune
reporter as being most agreeably sur
prised at the size and pace of Scran
ton and spoke admiringly of the decor
ations. The largest delegation to aniw yes
terday was from Chicago. It rum
be rod sixty men and Included the fol
lowing olllcors of the Chicago branch:
President, Charles D. Duffy; vice-president.
M. W. Williams: recording sec
retary, Henry H. Shoeh; financial sec
rotary. F. J. Willi; sergeant-at-arms.
Judson P. Hodge. The delegation was

this morning.
(Postmaster Charles V. Gordon was

owing to his being busy with tho prep
arations for the corner-stone laying of
Chicago's new federal building had to
forego tho trip. H. S. Regan, superin
tendent of the collection department of
Chicago, and W. G. Ebens, assistant
superintendent of tho free delivery sys
tem west of Uttffnlo. were with the
Chicago delegation. Mr. Ebens was a
former national offlcor of the Brother

DETROIT MEN ARRIVE.

They left on a special Lehigh Valley
car, starting from Kaston at 10.40 and
nrrivlnr here over the Delaware and
Hudson nt 2.15. They will remain until

What made them so particularly wel
come was tho extreme effort they mndo
to come hero In full force. The post
masters of the several cities In the as
sociation, with tho sanction of the de
partment nt Washington, announced In
the papers that If no objections were
received they would suspend all deliv
eries on Labor day and rely upon the
people to come to the ofllce for their
mall. Not a kick was made In any city
nnd for tho first time In history the
free delivery business of a city was
entirely suspended to give the carriers
a holiday,
