THE letter carriers of this city certainly
make number of strong points for them
selves in their appeal for higher wages than
Iney receive AT present. They are a hard
working set of men, who for character and
reliability have adeservedly y high standing.
Not only are they hard worked, but their
duties and responsibilities are such as to
entitle them to something like adequate re-
muneration fortheir services that they
do not now receive. Weare glad to see that
do not insist upon the enforcement of the
eight hour law as regards themselves. and
we are particularly pleased thatthey refrain
rom insisting upon II, for the reason that
u would operate very materially against
the interests of the public. Good for the
letter carriers, and we hope that such genu-
Inc ana disinterested public spit it as this
Will not go without its proper reward =

Well, there is large class OF hard.work

they are tired of the service we hope tn,
