LIFE OF SLAVERY.

Since the post office employees have
formed union under the American
Federation of Labor, the executive
council has thoroughly investigated the
conditions of the post office clerks and
finds them to be the most abused OF
wage earners.
This is so much more surprising,
since it has been generally the belief
that post office employees, employed by
Uncle Sam under civil service rule, had
a comparatively easy berth. Quite the,
contrary seems the case, however, &C
cording to the statement of President
Gompers, who says:
I'VE not only found that the clerks
were compelled to work twelve to four
teen hours a day, but that they have
no day of rest. They work seven days
a week. For all this time given to the
government the majority of the clerks
receive from $500 to $3.50 year. Then
there is a. system of fines that are un-
American and should be abolished. We
will not ask the Chicago postmaster to
change the system, but will go direct
to the post office department at WASH
ington. We will not take up the ques-
ton of legislation for the clerks until
later, as there are pressing grievances
that can be remedied without legisla-
tion."
