Dr. Z. w. Samuel, OF the Sixteenth
Congressional district OF PennsyIvapIa.
who has just entered upon his first term
IN the House. is a sincere friend OF the
letter carrier. The doctor says the let
ter carrier is about the pooSsst paiA C
all OF Uncle Sans faithful army OF en-
ployes.
1t is the doctors purpose to seclrre. n
possible. an increase in the pay OF ths
letter carriers employed In cities Of less
than 1900 inhabitants To bring thiz
about DR. Samuel has introduced in the
House a bill TO increase the pay OF ths
letter carrier 500 per year until the
salary reaches 81. 900 per annurn- And 10
obtain a thousand-dollar salary IN city
OF less than 1900 population the carrier
would have 10 work about eight years.
In order to be appointed letter carrier
the applicant now must first pass this
civil service examination. be certified
for appointment. and then go on the
waiting list. In about three years. some
times earlier. he gets a regular appoint
ment at $500 per year. which IN the
course of few years may be increased
gradually. until It amounts TO $3.50 per
annum. And there It stops. No more
increase IL the carrier remains IN the
postal service a thousand years II In9

cities do in the natural order or things,
and the population exceeds 95.Ooo. then
the carriers salary can go as high al
81 600 per annuEn but never a cent high~r.
DR. Samuel thinks this is not a square
deal. that the responsibility attached u
the work performed by the faithful ief-
ter carrier is deserving OF large
compensation. There are no large cue
in the doctors district or otherwise =
might have drawn his bill so as TO make
the maximum salary for carriers Sl.-v'

this matter. and as success has ever

MENTIONED

There viii be no need Of Col Dickin-
sons presence in this city to settle the
question of patronage that is soon to be
distributed among the faithful followers
of the Republican organization County
Chairman Fry has full power to act for
the organization. This was learned Sat
urday, when it became noised about that
the deadlock in the Board Of Education
over the selection Of d clerk in the place
Of James ]. Wiseman, Democrat, had
been broken. County Chairman Fry
whipped into line the recalcitrant Repub-
lican members. He didn't succeed in
getting them to promise to vote for How
ard Cruise, President Wards candidate,
but they expressed a willingness to vote
for some other Republican. : It is now
said that the 81 800 a year job will go
to G. Fred Ege, newspaper reporter,
who stands well with both Col. Dickin-
son and Mr. Fry and Mayor Pagan and
