employees should remove to some point
along the line Of the route on which he
was employed. Tbs was unsatisfac-
tory to some of the clerks AMI they 90.
tanned legislation overruling the order.
The reason for issuing the order IS ex-
p4ained at the department as necessary
because at the time the order was Is
sued there were about 1900 OF the 1000
in the service who did not live on the
lines where they worked. When there
was an accident or anything else
That Required Emergency Men,
those who were on leave and away from
the line where they worked escaped the
extra duty and it fell upon those living
ON the route Of the 1900 who were
living off the lines where they worked,
all but about 800 have notified the de-
partment that they have or will remove
their homes to where requested. Prob
ably all of them will 50 remove, not
withstanding the legislation overriding
the order. The department. is now in
forme d that since the failure of legisla-
ton in the last congress increasing the
pay Of employees, a combination has
been formed to pass this legislation and
also to overturn orders an rules Of the
department which are unsatisfactory to
them. A high official Of the depart
ment said:
APowerful Combination.
''This comb, nation includes some
thousands Of employees in the railway
mail service, the letter carriers service
and in | stoffices. They are all in the
classified Seiv.c 20 and protected from re-
moval. The aggregate amount Of the
increase demande is about $5,0O0,OO0
That, perhaps, is not Of SO much i'm
portance as the effect on the discipline
Of the department and the efficiency of
the service.
"These employees, numbering about
10000, by contribution of S. each,
would reap fund of $4,000 for the
maintenance OF a lobby. The effect Of
this com bination would be to crea Q a
sentiment against the civil service law
which protects these employees. How
foi m dable the combination may be-
come is a matter Of conjecture, but the
whole affair is the result of congress
legisllting to overturn the rules and
regulations of the department., as af-
fecting It's employees"
