POSTAL CLERK PLEADS
 FOR BI66tR SALARIES
Of all Uncle San,'s Servants He Says They are Treated With the Grestes, Nigeardness.


 Washington, D. c. November eo.-I NSpeclal correspondence of The Repub- hcan.)-"It may be true that times never were so good for the wage earn CT as they are today. as is shown by bulletin of the Bureau of Labor" said M. George A. Wood. of Portsmouth. N H., today. but that certainly does not apply to the fourteen thousand railway postal clerks who get the peoples mail to them at the earliest possible mo- ment. As secretary of the National Association of Railway Postal Clerks l have peculiar chance to be acquainted with their condition. Their work has increased with the increased volume of mail. and at the same time the pur- chasing power of their yearly salaries has decreased greatly by reason of the high prices that prevail in these piping times. The average salary of the rail way postal clerk is $1.066. From this he must deduct at least $l60 year for his meals and lodgings while away from home. and at least $2O a year for the statknery forwarding slips. fines. etc. This leaves the postal clerk onls' SsS6 year on which to maintain his -ANAANs ieAS HIS NNtAeA AAASn ance. and lay up for the rainy day that usually comes before fifty by reason of the strenuOusness of the occupation
 Day laborers and street sweepers get nearly as much and men of the high order of physical manhood and intelli- gence required in the service get much more. l believe that congress ought tO take some steps to either pay the clerks per diem for their expenses while il line of duty away from home, or to in- crease their salaries so that they may be able to bear them themselves. All other government clerks are allowed their legitimate expenses, when away from headquarters. and why the rail- way postal clerk the fellow who gets the hardest work. braves the most dan- gers. and gets knocked out earliest of them all. should be made the exception l can not see l believe that if the average congressman as we'll as tho average citizen could spend a week with the average postal clerk no fur ther argument wc1ld be needed to demonstrate that the railway postal clerks are entitled to some relief"
