PAY OF RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS

There is general support Of the move
ment Of the mail clerks TO secure an
increase In their pay. The men are
engaged In dangerous work. Theirs
Is generally among the names OF the
dead and mained in head on collisions.
The Forum hopes they will get more
remuneration.
On the average the salary drawn by
an employe Of this department OF the
government service is only S1,le2.
And this wholly inadequate sum is
taxed to defray his personal expenses
while on the road.
II the records are examined II will be
found that the railway postal clerks
constitute the only class Of men in the
service Of the United States, who are
forced while actually on duty to meet
the expenses which are incident thereto
The demands which are made upon
the railway mail clerk are by no means
trivial. In the FIRST place, the labor
In which he is engaged is hazardous
II is moreover at times burdensome
on account OF quick schedules IL de-
mands not only accuracy, but speed in
the assortment OF mails, and the man
who acceptably fills this most import
ant position must be intelligent. faith
ful, self-sacrifcing. Tho life OF the
railway mail clerk is strenuous and
under pressure OF the heavy work i'm
posed upon him by an age Of CONNER
cialism he often breaks down. The
charms Of the freside are enjoyed only
at broken intervals.
