a subject thai should concern the
business interests OF the country and
which Is generally admitted to be OF
vital Importance, IS the lack of uttrac-
ton to intelligent young men offered
by tho clerical department Of The
postoflice service. The fact that the
service Is not attractive Is plainly
shown by the large number of resig-
nations and the increasing difficulty
the civil service commission finds
In supplying the postmastcrs with
eligibles. Tho cause seems to be
the lack Of incentive, the goal being
without attraction, tho pay small and
the hours exceedingly long.
The postofiire clerks do not receive
salaries as large as clerks in other
departments, and the eighl-hour law
does not apply to them. The grade
OF work Is just as important and de-
mands men equally as intelligent and
capable, and the only reason for tho
discrimination against the employees
or this department seems to be the
ever present postofiice deficit.
