All the monkey business in the
postal service is not monopolized by
the Cuban branch, not by whole
lot. There is much gossip in Wash
ington concerning the purchase of
time clocks fer all free delivery
postofices and expensive typwriters
for Offices having receipts of $50, 900
and over by the Post Office depart.
ment, and much of it implies that
private individuals have had big
rake offs" out of the purchase
money. The odd thing about the
time clocks is that they are of the
same make as those introduced in
the Treasury department several
years ago and which stirred up the
indignation of congressman to such
an extent that they we're by vote
of congress ordered taken out.
Then it was that the man with the
big pull" got the post office
authorities to see what a good thing
those same time clocks were and to
agree to pay the regular retail
price, $l25 each for them, although
about 800 of them we're purchased:
Letter carriers and and other post
Office employees have to have their
time records made by these clocks,
which congress declared degrading
and disgraceful when used in the
Treasury department. They can
ask their congressman to explain
the administration code of ethics
which makes it right and proper to
deal with postal employees of free
delivery Offices in a manner which
congress declared to be degrading
and disgraceful when applied to
employees of the treasury depart
