TO REWARD GOOD WORK.

Citv Post Office.

The Post Office Department is already ar
ranging for the increase in salaries to De
allowed the clerks in the Washington post
office for the next fiscal year Postmaster
Merritt has received a letter from the de-
partment requesting him to submit his
recommendations as early as convenient.
The award Of the increases in compensa-
ton to the low-salaried and most deserving
clerks Is especially aimed at in the letter OF
instructions sent to Mr.. Merritt In this con-
nection Many promotions are made at the
beginning Of every fiscal year. and the
number this time doubtless will be in ac-
cord with the normal growth Of the service.
The Post Office Department has made 1t
plain that in making these increases of sal
aries preference is positively to be given to
the low-salaried men who deserve some
recognition for faithful and efficient service.
Postmaster Merritt's report, in accordance
with this policy, will embrace his recon-
mendations for all the increases in salaries
Of clerks that will go into effect on July
next.
1t is explicitly stated in the departments
communication that in the submission OF
these recommendations the lower paid
clerks who have been on the rolls for one
year or more shall receive the first consid-
Grafton.
After these names are all In the Post Of
fee Department will refuse to consider any
further requests from the Washington Of
flee for authority for the employment Of
more clerks during the ensuing year. No
changes are to be made in the number Of
clerks in any grade in the Washington office
after July I without previous authority
from the department.
This instruction is based on the law which
restricts the number in each grade. The
names Of clerks slated for promotion will
be grouped according to the amount of pay
they receive, the names put in alphabetical
order and the order Of merit in each group
Indicated by a number prefxed to their
names. Under this system II all the in
creases recommended cannot be granted
they will go to the most deserving en-
ployes. The salaries which Mr.. Merritt IL
to recommend are directed to be in even
hundreds Of dollars not less than the mini
muir nor more than the maximum allowed
by the postal regulations.
