PLEA FOR PosTMAsTERs.
G. G FEIESDs: Knowing there quite mum
ber oil POstnasters Assistants aud Clerks iu the L.
G. ranks would like TO hear your ideas On Better
Compensation for Fourth class postmasters.
As for myself think the poor country Post
master is The worst misused Of ALL For instance,
/ u your own townsmcn are expecting letter at ~
specified time aud it Is delayed, no one II at ihult
bui their own Postmaster, Then. again u YOU
linnd Them out great bundle of mail lhey wlll
ask, Us thai all"" And you must not only have
a pleasant word for all, listen TO their joys and
! soffows, but YOU must ever be ready WIN Your
] pen. ink, blotter and mucilage To accommodate
hili accept mutilated coin, and above all, never
! take time TO eat oT sleep.
/ Nevertheless. postmasiers OF all Clnsses have 10
pat mp with The trials have mentioned hut those
I u The hrsl class well afford to- rs they receive
]
Haas obtained salary, think IL j. only just and
right that we OF the fourth class should have tie
/ same.
/ No hireling does as much and receives little
/ the fourth class Postmaster. The only way
claim our just dues ~ petition Congress 10 give
/ ns SALARY. aud have IL increased or decreased,
/ according 10 the annual income.
All know thadR Postmaster must have some edu-
cRtioh bui lew OF you outside Of the ranks know TINT
we nave 10 stand an examination 10y the fosloiiee
inspector the same Rs school teachers, ANA can
assure you, friends, some OF the questions are
nearly as foolish. Hoping TO hear from you nll on
the snlyert, ] will sign myself Assistant Post
