DISSATISFIED POSTAL OFFICIALS.
UNBEST IN THE ENGLISH SERVICE. (By C*M«.—Free* A**oci*tioa.-Co W ii g lit) LONDON, December 2. Tho spread of the demand by postmen for an all-round 15 per cent, increase instead of the Governments offer, has caused anxiety as to what may happen at Christmas. There are ominous signs of dissatisfaction in London. It is reported that two typewriting machines at the Central Telegraph Office were dropped from the topmost landing to the ground floor and smashed, also that important telegraph apparatus has been tampered with. Tho time-book, recording operators' temporary absences, and also many desk keys, have disappeared. The malcontents advocate that the proposed strike should assume the form of working according to the rules. It is believed that these are bo mutually contradictory that the whole service would be speedily reduced to chaos.
