MUST PAY THEIR OWN EXPENSES
WHEN TRavELlNe-WILL
ASK FOR RELIEF.

WASHINGTON. OCT. sI.-The rail
way postal clerks Of the country pro.
pose TO ask Congress this winter TO
allow them a per diem for expenses In
Cured while away from their homes in
the discharge of their duties. They
assert that they are the only class Of
government employees who have to pay
their own expenses while away from
home.
For instance, clerk running from
Washington to Pittsburg has to stay
from eight to ten hours in Pittsburg
on each run. He has to get a bed in
which to sleep, as he has been at
work for about Is hours before reach,
ing Pittsburg, having had to put in
the whole time Of the run from Wash.
ington to Pittsburg and several hours
before that while his car was standing
in the washington yards. He will
also likely have to get two meals in
this time. All Of this costs him mon
ey, but he alone OF all the employees Of
the government has to bear his own
expenses.
1t is estimated that this costs the
average clerk something like $165 a
year, counting only 35'cents per meal
and IS cents per day for his bed. The
clerks declare that in this day, when
everything costs more than in times
past, they can scarcely afford this
drain on their average salaries, which
for the 14,122 men in active service is
I$1,O6G.
| For years Congress has made an ap'
preparation each year for expenses In
Cured by railway postal clerks while
in line of duty and away from their
respective headquarters, but the Post.
office Department and the courts have
decided that their headquarters are
in their cars. and that consequently
they cannot get away from headquar-
tiers. 1t is believed by the clerks that
Congress really meant that they
should not be compelled TO bear their
Legitimate expenses while on duty
away from home.
