Only forty five sacks more mail than a week ago, with twenty sacks from the two firms, while Amerika and Baltic steamers carry mail to England. Postmaster Morgan adds an hour to day shifts and keeps night shifts later to handle growth, anticipating more work before Saturday sailing. Distorted treaty rumors misled foreigners at East Side sub stations into thinking the rate applied to all foreign mail.
