ployed, and 1 was either killed or
seriously injured for every 81 en-
ployed. During the ten years
from Iuly 1, 1875. there was a
casualty year for every 20 clerks
employed; during the last three
wears there was a casualty to
every 90 employed. Last fiscal
year the percentage of fatalities
and serious injuries was higher
than the percentage of casualties
of every kind in 1880.
The greatest number of clerks
killed any fiscal year was in 1904
the number being 18 clerks and 2
substitutes. Five is the largest
number killed at one time, that
number having been killed June
20, 1897, in a wreck on the Wabash
Railroad, at Missouri City, Mo.
A like number was killed in a
wreck on the Southern Railroad
at Danville, Va, September 27,
1908.
The postal car is usually i'm
mediately behind the engine.
hence it is not surprising that the
percentage of killed and manned
among postal clerks is high. For
many years the post office depart
ment has been endeavoring to
induce the railroads to give the
postal car more favorable posi-
ton in the train. The rates paid
tor carrying the mails are said to
be much higher than those paid
by express companies, and this
higher rate ought to purchase a
higher class of service. But the
rule that when Uncle Sam goes
into the market he gets less for
his money than any competitor
finds striking illustration in the
service rendered the post office
department by the railroads.
The serious question is, what
has caused this increase in per
centage of casualties among pos
tai clerks; also cannot something
be done for the men who handle
the mailsr The postal clerk is
