First Assistant Postmaster
General
TO KEEP MEN IN SERVICE
Large Percentage Resigned Past Year
- Longer Vacations Also Urged
for Employees.

Washington, d. c., Dec '31.-Uncle
Sam will have to raise wages to keep
his postal employees. First Assistant
Postmaster General Hitchcock declares
in mis- annual report just made public
He emphasizes the need of legislation
to make the postal service more at
tractive in order TO retain present en-
ployes and as an inducement for good
men to enter the service.
Higher wages in other classes of en-
ployment. together with the increased
cost of living, he points out. have rem
dered pronounced the inadequacy of
postofIice salaries. As a result the res.
ignations from the service have in
creased at an alarming rate and the
standard of men going into the service
has greatly deterioratcd in the last
fiscal year
Large Percentage Resigns.
Mr.. Hitchcock's report shows that of
about 10000 clerks in first and second
class Offices in the grades ranging
from 5000 to $1,000, 2,340, or about
1913 per cent. resigned during the
year. OF $4,000 letter carriers attach
ed to these Offices, sol. or about 2.6
per cent, left the service.
During the quarter ending Sept. 80
929 clerks and 206 carriers resigned,
advancing the rate of loss to 1876 per
cent The figures for October show
that clerks were leaving the service
at an annual rate of one in every five
u-o,.I.Y xvr,-o r-..xo.
To check these designations Hitch
cock recommends the establishing for
clerks and carriers of six grades of
compensation, the annual salary to be
5000 for the initial grade, $500 for the
second grade. and for the four succeed
ing grades $500. $1,000, s1,100 and 81,
200, respectively.
In addition, he favors the advance
ment of the salaries of clerks and car
riers in first class offices from the 5000

Washington, Dec 31.-The sub-com-
mttee of the senate committee on ap-
propriatic IS which for the last week
has been considering the legislative
executive judicial appropriation bill
with a view of getting it in shape for
the full committee, has considered the
question of increasing the salaries of
senators and members of the house of
representatives. and while no unalter-
able program has been agreed upon it
now seems probably the subcommittee
will recommend an advance of so per
cent on congressional salaries.

LIBERTY
Shah of Persia, Now Near Death,
Signs Constitution for
Country.
PEOPLE TO HAVE VOICE
Partially Elective Senate and Fran
chise for Males Between 80
and 20 Years.

Teheran, Dec. 31.-The shah and the
crown prince signed the new constitu-
ton at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
The constitution includes the establish
ment of a partly elective senate and
financial control of the government by
the lower house of parliament
The signature of thetlew code is the
climax of the shahs action in January
last when he granted his people a
share in the government. The new
parliament met on Oct. with great
deal of ceremony and was welcomed
by his majesty the shah, who presided
over the first session. The assembly
continued it's work from time to time
and the new scheme of rule is the re-
suit.
Parliament to Meet Annually.
Under the royal decree parliament
will meet annually hereafter for the
purpose of revising old laws and edicts
sad enacting new ones as they may be
required.
The parliament will fix it's own COM
pensation. reorganize methods Of rule,
and provide for important reforms in
administration. This will mean radi-
cal departure, as under the absolute
despotism of the old system the gov
ernment was conducted by a grand
vizier or prime minister and other Off
cials appointed by the shah and re-
sponsible only to him.
Provision for Voting.
Under the new order all Persians of
the male sex between the ages of 40
and 20 who are not in the service of
the state and who have never been con-
victed of crime are entitled to vote
for members of the chamber of depu-
ties.

after three years service. and the ad'
vancement of clerks and carriers in

Recommends Longer Vacations.
The suggestion is made that fixed
rate of 80 cents an hour be paid for
all substitute work.
1t is proposed to grant 80 days an
nual leave to clerhs and carriers, in
stead of Is days as at present. thus
placing them on an equality with other
employees.
Suspension of employees is not favor
ed by Hitchcock. He urges that this
system be abolished. He says:
"The effect of suspension on an en-
ploye is anything but beneficial. When
his duties have TO be performed by an
substitute. as is fre-
quently the case. it works a detriment
to the service as well.
mo employe should be suspended
