The principal objections presented to the administration of the system in vogue are included in the working of the zone system, the parcel post stamps, and the rough handling of packages. Several of the witnesses testified that so many of the parcels sent had been crushed in transmission that their customers had refused to ac- cept them. The result has been that the change has been made back to the express as a vehicle of transmission. As most of the customers on the rural routes ask for the parcel post for con- venience sake, the goods were sent to the branch offices, but were finally dis- patched directly to the railroads, to save the danger of injury to the goods by their taking the prescribed route. The injuries done to the packages had been found to have occurred here In New York. This statement appeared to voice the general experience that the fault appeared to be in the New York postoffice. The objection to the parcel post stamps, their easy confusion from their •being of the same color and their lack of distinction in denomination was ex- ploited in various ways. It was urged and the committee of inquiry approved the motion that there should be no spe- cial stamps, only the regular ones used. When the system was first inaugurated the discrimination of special stamps suited for each zone was regarded as a very desirable method in the facilita- tion of business and the avoidance of blunders. Experience, which so often condemns theory, appears to have done so in this case. Whether in practice the postoffice can handle bulky packages containing articles that can be easily Injured is beginning to inspire so
