mends Some Radical
Changes.

stated
The statement followed prolonged
conference yesterday between Mr. Hitch.
cock and Postmaster William K. Wilcox,
Of New York
One Of the most important matters
discussed was that of the increasing
number OF designations Of postal EN-.
ployecs owing largely to low salaries
Postmaster Wilcox had for months urged
upon the postal authorities at Washing
ton-that the pay Of the postal force in
this city must either be augmented or
the service must suffer He insisted
that these designations had reached
ratio that was alarming. and he finally
induced the postoliiee department to
consider the matter from the same stand
point.
Mr. EIitchcockitold Mr.. Wilcox soon
after their conference began that reports
like that which the latter had been
making bad reached tho postofiice de
paItnent from all the other large cities
in the country. IN these centers the
cost of living had greatly increased dur.
ing the last few years without cores
increase in the salaries of postal
employees and as result efficient men
were seeking more lucrative lines Of
