that of the postal clerks.
Mr.. Tally explained that he had
been in the postal service for several
months, and knew the responsibility
placed upon postal clerks and the
hard work demanded of them. He
was in favor of a forty-eight hour law
in this department, with an automatic
scale of wages and promotion, and
promised, if elected to congress, to
use every effort to bring about the
passage of any and all laws which
would benefit postal clerks. He be-
lieved they were entitled to better
pay and shorter hours, and thought
they should have them. He was op-
posed to the employment of negroes
in the postoffice service.
Mr.. Tally was heartily thanked for
his words of sympathy for the cause
which the organization has espoused,
and was furnished with literature
, which it was thought would enable
him to comprehend more clearly just
what the organization is working for,
