processes that may prove of value
to the service.
The difficulty of obtaining compe-
tent employees in remote sections of
the United States Postoffice territory
is urgently called to the attention of
Congress. 1t often is impossible to
obtain efficient clerks for the salaries
fixeo by law and it is urged that the
Postmaster General be authorized to
use the regular appropriations for
clerks and letter carriers in the pay
mcnt of higher salaries in such places,
for instance as the postofiices in
Alaska.
In a discussion of the clerical and
carrier forces Of the postal service it
is shown by figures presented in the
report that &c part of the reduction
in the deficit of the Department as a
whole was due to any discrimination
against clerks and carriers. AS fact,
the average salaries Of clerks and car
riers during the year 1910 was higher
than at any time in the previous his
tory of the Department
It is the policy of the Department,
as shown by the report, not to require
any more work in postoffices on Sun
days and holidays than is absolutely
necessary. To this end an endeavOr is
being made to bring about a greater
degree of uniformity in the amount
OF Sunday work in Postotficcs and to
provide for one day of rest in seven
for each of the employees. DR.. Grand
field saws:
There is very strong sentiment
throughout the country in favor of the
discontinuance of the delivery of mail
on Sundays, and this sentiment should
be respected. If the plan of discOn-
tinuing entirely Sunday service by let
ter carriers which is now being tried
in number of the larger cities, where
the sentiment of the communities is
strongly in favor of Sunday closing,
proves practicable, it would seem that
the desired result may be attained
without legislation"
A renewal of the recommendation
with pay be allowed postoffices clerks
and city letter carriers is made. IN
der existing law not exceeding fifteen
days leave of absence with pay may
be allowed clerks and carriers.
! From the view point Of economy
and efficiency in the service Congress
is urged in the report to take action
reasonable pension provision of the
superannuated employees of the Post
Office Department.

in the chain of railroads which Presi-
dent Mellen evidently is trying to get
together in tho northeastern section of
