Office business, which necessarily in
creases during the holidays.
"The fact is." said the postmaster
while discussing the matter, that the
officials at the capitol cannot under
etand the peculiar needs OF the Office.
The law is that 1873 per cent OF receipts
of all postoffices are allowed for clerical
hire. 1t ia true that the Los Angeles
office is now allowed 171a per cent,
which is a reduction of 10 per cent on
the expenditures when l took charge.
This Office is peculiarly situated for
the reason that we have on an average
of 10000 to 10000 transient people in
the city. Some of these are constantly
moving or leaving, and others coming
in. For this reason it takes email
army of clerks to attend to the ordered
chsnge of addresses, and it takes the
carriers double the usual time to deliver
O route.
Many OF our clerks are paid only
5000 year, and it is an outrage to ex-
pect them to work Is hours a day,
as they are now doing, for such a
paltry allowance. l have tried by
every means l could think OF to secure
more clerks, but go far my efforts have
proved failure. Now the holidays are
upon US and, ss is always the case, holi-
day presents are piled up to the ceiling
in the postoffice awaiting delivery or to
be sent away. The mouey order de-
partment is doing tremendous busi-
ness, ana .aLoless more assistants are
allowed ii is hard to tell what will fol-
