PROTEST TO THE PRESIDENT. Lettsr Carriers Think New Ruling ot Postmaster General Too Severe. New York, Nov. 27. President Tay lor of the National Association of Let ter Carriers at Sunday's meeting of the Central Federated union asked the C. F. U. to send letters to Postmas ter General Cortelyou and PreMdent Roosevelt protesting against a recent ruling of the postmaster general to the effect that a letter carrier who was absent 90 days in a ye-r should be called on to send In his resignation Formerly, he said, when a letter car rier was incapacitated from illness for a long period of time, even if it was a year, he was not paid during the time he was sick, but was restored to his place when he became well. "Now a man might break his leg slipping on a pavement while deliver ing letters," he said, "and be laid up for more than 90 days. Some men who were dangerously 111, and have died re cently, had, I have no doubt, their deaths hastened by learning of this ruling. I know one man who had been "8 years in the service, and who was dangerously ill. He was called on on April 5 to resign, unless he was at his post within 30 days, and he died on April 7, his death being hastened, I have no doubt, by this ruling." He said that the ruling had an ap parently mitigating clause which speci fied that meritorious service would count, and be the cause of leniency on the part of the local postmasters. This, however, was too Indefinite. The request of President Taylor was granted. Lazy Man to Be Sold at Auction. Elizabethtown, Ky., Nov. 27. "Go ing, going, gone!"
