THE POSTAL PROGRESS DINNER. 



As the guest of honor of W. Atlee 

 Burpee, Postmaster General George von 

 L. Meyer met at dinner at the Union 

 League, at Philadelphia, Saturday even- 

 ing, October 26, a distinguished com- 

 pany of manufacturers, merchants and 

 financiers and discussed with them plans 

 for the improvement of the service, no- 

 tably in the direction of enlarging the 

 scope of the parcels post, and the estab- 

 lishment of postal savings banks. 



These are two things about which 

 there exists a difference of opinion 

 among the business and financial inter- 

 ests, and following the address of Mr. 

 Meyer there was an interesting discus- 

 sion in which two noteworthy partic- 

 ipants were former Postmaster General 

 John Wanamaker and United States Sen- 

 ator Boies Penrose, whose work on the 

 Committee on PostoflBces and Post Boads 

 gives him an insight into the workings 

 of the department. 



W. Atlee Burpee, the host of the even- 

 ing, has long been a member of the Pos- 

 tals Committee of the Board of Trade, 

 and in addition is a vigorous advocate 

 of the parcels post. To meet General 

 Meyer he invited the most notable men 

 in th4 city and the 100 or more who 

 gathered about the banquet table at the 

 League represented the city 's largest in- 

 terests. The tables were decorated in 

 red and the room presented a magnifi- 

 cent appearance. Mr. Burpee presided 

 and at his right was the guest of the 

 evening. Mr. Burpee, in introducing 

 Postmaster General Meyer, referred to 

 the need of postal reforms and declared 

 that one law, at least, under which the 

 department was conducting business 

 dated from 1792. "That is too far back 

 even for conservative Philadelphia," he 

 declared, amid laughter. 



The address of the Postmaster General 

 was a forecast of the things he will ask 

 of congress in his forthcoming annual 

 report. These include: 



"The extension of the parcels post, 

 by increasing the weight limit, reducing 

 the rates, and extending the service to 

 the rural free delivery. 



"The establishment of postal savings 

 banks on a basis where they will not con- 

 flict with established financial interests. 



"The introduction of slot machines 

 and other devices to give greater facili- 

 ties for the purchase of stamps.
