The situation at Moscow parallels

organized and is waiting to exercise
its powers. The university is barri

MOVED CHICAGO'S POSTOFFICE
Gigantic Task of Transferring Mail.
Chicago, III.—The gigantic task
of moving the Chicago postoffice into
the new quarters in the recently com
pleted $6.000,000 federal building, with
out delaying or disturbing the handling
of approximately two million pieces
of mall matter which the office handles
dally, began Saturday. Frederick E.
Coyne, the postmaster, was the author
ity for the statement that the work
of the postofflee, which collects and
delivers mail over a territory of 194
square miles, would proceed without
a moment's delay.
By Sunday, the mail, including the
outgoing, but with the exception of
certain kinds of second class matter
which would be handled from the tem
porary structure (or sonje weeks v«*'.
will be cared (or in the new building.
The moving, began without cere
mony, although United States Senator
Hopkins and the majority of the
Chicago congressmen together with
representatives from the postmaster
general's department were present.
"Our installation here today," said
Mr. Coyne, "marks a distinct change
in methods of handling mall in Cblca
go. Work that has been done by hand
ever since there was a postoffice here
will be done by machinery. 1 believe
we now have the best equipped office
machinery in the world. With pneu
matic tubes running from the post
office to all the principal stations, and
with the prospect that within a tew
weeks all heavy matter will be carried
by electric cars to the depots, through
the tunnels of the Illinois Tunnel com
pany. 1 believe that the beginning of
the new year will find mail handled
faster in Chicago than any other place
in the world,"
