IN FAVOR OF LETTER CARRIERS

The United states supreme court to-
day affirmed the Judgment of the court
Of cluims IN favor of the letter carriers
In the cases Of Aaron =. Post and Frank
Gates against the United States
These cases nrose under tile act pre-
scribing eight hours as n days work for
letter carriers.
II was conteudcd hy the letter car
ricrs that the post office department In
constituting that act Ind violated its in
tent and purpose and was requiring
more lnhOr from them than was con-
templatcd. In the Gates case the uues-
ton was whether or not the eight-hour
provision as applied TO letter carriers
meant I'M average Of eight hours day
for month, the department holding that
any deficit IN eight hours on Sundays or
other days could be set of against an
excess over eight hours on other days
The court rules that this cannot be done
and that the carriers are entitled TO ex-
ira pay for any overtime on any single
day.
In the Post case the position taken by
the United States was that the eight
hours should consist Of time employed
In the actual distribution and collection
Of mail and that the carriers could not
recover extra pay for other services with
IN the postOilice performed hy them In
connection with duties imposed on thcm
by the postmaster The court holds
That this position is untenable and that
tie carriers are entitled To extra nav
ior over eight hours work under such
circumstances. Justice Brown rendered
the opinion.
