THE RAILWAY POSTAL CLERKS
\ Bill to Classify Them Passed by
the Senate

A highly important bill passed he Senate
yesterday afternoon. 1t IS the hill 10
reclaSsify railway postal clerks and 10
prescribe their salaries. This bill is the
one drafted and recommended by the
National Association OF Railway Postal
Clerks 1t was championed in the Senate
by Senator Burrows, who called it up
Yesterday.
The purpose OF the bill is to rearranse
and strengthen the railway mail service
with a view to bringing 1T up to the stand
ard of its present requirements. When
the present classification was enacted the
distribution of mails was accomplished
principally in the postoffices. now it is
done in the railway postal cars There
has been no legislation on the subject since
/ SS1, and it is universally conceded that
salaries should be increased SO as to a
certain extent correspond with the high
degree of efficiency that has been attai:ed
in o..!cr to attract to the service and
hold men capable of Fulfilling the present
requirements.
POstmasters- General have. for years,
urged the extension of the railway mail
service, because the postoffiCes were over
crowded and this service was the only
medium through which relief could he
expected. n bill similar to the one passed
yesterday was introduced by the late
Congressman s. S. Cox, of New York, by
the advice Of then Postmaster General
Don NJ. Dickinson. Another OF the same
intent has been introduced each succeed
ing Congress
The bill passed yesterday provides ten
classificatiOns of clerks, with salaries
ranging from $500 to 81 500; the length
of daily run under ordinary circumstances
regulates the grade and salary of the
clerk Civil service regulations are to
apply throughout the service with the
understanding that no clerk shall receive
less salary after the passage of the eact
than he was receiving prior thereto.
