WAITING FOR THEIR MONEY.
Post Office Clerks Who Worked Over
Time Anxious to See Mr.. Wanamaker

Postmaster General Wanamaker is still in
Atlantic City and it is uncertain when be will
return. The clerks in the Office of the first as
sistant postmaster general are extremely
anxious to have Mr.. Wanamaker here again.
This does not indicate especially that they feel
lonely when he is out. of the city or
find it difficult to discharge their duties in
his absence. The real cause Of their anxiety
for Mr.. Wansmaker's presence in the city
may be attributed to the fact that in the
general deficiency bill there was an
appropriation OF si2,7SS.so to nav
the clerks who worked extra time during the
hrst year OF the Cleveland administration.
As they have charge of the papers IN the cases
OF fourth-class postmasters and as the pressure
to make changes in these offices is very great
IL was necessary that the work should be done
promptly. An order was therefore issued reour-
ing the clerks to work from q to $50 Ia the
evening for portion of the time and for the
rest OF the period the clerks were required to
begln half hour earlier each day and to
lengthen the regular day by remaining at their
desks until $50 p. N.
THESE EXTRA HOURS CONTINUED
through period of about seven months in tho
year 1885, The appropriation provides for tho
payment OF extra compensation to the seventy
three clerks entitled to it ON the basis OF 60
cents per hour. The female clerks did not
put IN as much extra time as the male
clerks and the average extra pay TO be re-
ceived by them is Sll6, whilo the average
amount received by the male clerks is S2O6
Tho rolls have been made up in accordance
with the provisions of the law making the
appropriation, and all that is needed now is
the signature of Mr.. Wanamaker. This
is the reason why his return is looked for with
so much concern by the clerks in the first as
sistants office. II ho returns tomorrow, as
there Is a probability of his doing, the FIRST
matter presented to him will no doubt be the
roll OF clerks entitled to this compensation and
then the money can be drawn from tho
Treasury.
