LETTER CARRIERS
APPEAL TO PUBLIC
WANT SENTIMENT TO FAVOR
RAISE THEY ARE AFTER.
With Bill Increasing Maximum Salary
Before Congress, Carriers Ask Sup
port, on Grounds Of Increased Living
Expenses and Insufficient Reward in
Present Schedule. ?"

Salaries limited to $1,000 regardless
of efficiency or experience do not Of
fer enough reward to the men who
make -letter.carrying their lifework, is
the contention of the National Asso-
citation of Letter Carriers. s
The carriers, who are employed under
the civil service rules, are forbidden
to appeal to congress for a? raise in
pay, tho they may petition the post
master general. A bill is now pending
before congress reclassifying the car
riers and fixing the maximum salary
at at, s. 100 year. This bin is ipdoT r
telyou.
Tho they are forbidden to appeal
directly to their congressman in be-
half of this bill, there is nothing in
the regulations to prevent their ap-
pealing to public sentiment. Following
this line of action, members of the local
branch of the association have made
the following statement:
AS the law now stands the highest
salary paid to any carrier is $1,000
per annum, but few ever receive that
much, as when off duty for sickness or
any other cause his salary is deducted
the service as a substitute and it takes
lar appointment. The average earn
ings of a substitute are from $500 to
$500 year. When he finally gets his
appointment the salary, in first class
| Office is 5000 for the first, $500 for the
second and $1,000 for tn e third year.
After this there is no raise.'
In urging that the. maximum salary
| should be increased to $1,000, the car
riers argue that since the limit was
established the cost of living has in
creased and in view of the fact that
they are expected to live decently
dress themselves and their families well
and give their children a good educa
tion, they have difficulty in making
both ends meet. Under this constant
tax they are unable to lay aside any
thing for their old age.
q. In view Of the greater prosperity Of
the country, and the increased receipts
from the free delivery offices, they fee
that they are justified in asking g
raise in pay. What they now want is
to arouse public opinion to the point
where it will insist that they be giver
a salary which will correspond to the
general prosperity Of the country -an6

Peculiar Accident.

A peculiar and startling accident oc-
Cured at Pentwater, when the steam
er Kansas, of the Northern Michigan
Transportation Co., in clearing Sears
& Nichols canning factory dock.
caught her aft hawser beneath a cor
ner of the dock, raising perpendicu
larry in the air 12foot square sec
ton of the massive hardwood dock and
letting l.. A. Sears, a member of the
firm, into the water. Then it toppled
completely over and crushed down
Dr. and Mrs. Harvey Wilson, of Chi
Cago.
Sears swan under the warehouse
and crawled out on the bank. A
space of two or three minutes elapsed
before the dock could be removed
from it's new position. The cries of
49, woman were frightful and were
heard for blocks. The whole section
of the dock remained intact when re-
moved, and tipped into the lake.
DR.. Wilson's wrist was broken, and
he is badly bruised. Mrs. Wilson was
terribly bruised all over her body.
Both are internally injured. how badly
is yet not known. The Wilson's had
arrived from Chicago on the Kansas

Careless Legislation.

Inconsistencies in several appropri-
alton acts of the last Legislature have
been discovered. The original appro-
priation bill for the Michigan School
for the Blind called for $33, 800 year
for each of two years for current eX-
penses, but the legislature cut the
amount to $4,000, not changing, how
ever, the figures in the section which
directs the auditor general to spread
the tax to meet the appropriation. The
trustees Of the school asked the audi
tor general for the S33,500, but he fol-
lows a previous ruling that the two
sections of appropriation acts are dis
tinct and that no more can be allowed
than specifically stated in the first
section.
In the case of the Marquette Normal
school the situation was reversed,
$4,000 being appropriated but requir-
ing the auditor to raise only $4,000 by
taxation for the purpose. The differ
ence must come out of the general
fund.
