RAIL WAY POSTAL
 SERVICE INJURED
New Regulations May Cause
 Employees to Strike
DEBATED IN THE HOUSE
Memorial to Congress Asking for Relief From the Present
 Situation

Washington, January 21.-Attempts of the postoffce department to take up the slack" in the railway mail service throughout the United States, brought about a lively debate in the House this afternoon. when the annual postoffice department appropriation bill was being considered Representatives of many western states presented protests not only from the railway clerks themselves, but from business men and associations, who said the efficiency of the mail service had been impaired
 Representative Martin of South Dakota presented to the House memorial passed by the legislature of that state calling upon Congress and the postoffice depart ment to relieve the acutely serious situa- ton that has developed in the western states.
 The departments orders for rear fangement of the railway mail service went into effect shortly before Christmas. Chairman Weeks of the postoffice commit tee, who Is in charge of the postoffice bill now before the House, stated that these complaints had been given full con- sideration by the postoffice department and that the department does not believe the new rules will work any ultimate hardship to employees or result in any m jury to the efficiency of the service.
 In order to find out how the clerks took the new scheme, Second Assistant Postmaster General Stewart asked Presi- dent J. T Garfield of the Railway Mall association, for statement of the clerks views His letter and the reply was pre- sented to the House by Mir Weeks. Pres ident Canfield's letter to the Assistant Postmaster General said:
 "As to the practical effect en the serv- ice of this order to take up the slack it is lowering the efficiency of the clerks every day. They are discouraged and are fast becoming demoralized."
 The new regulations which have caused what Representative Hitchcock of Ne braska characterized as an uproar Tn all the western states, have been uhuer ue velopment for some time. The postoffice department has been endeavorlng to eoualize the work of clerks upon a pasls of six and one-half hours of road Work per day and reduce the force. While the last postoffice appropriation bill author ized the appointment of 17,997 clerks, the n,,nber actually employed now Is I4,4S3.
 The annropriation bill now before the house reduces the number of authorized railway mail clerks by 404 from the figures last year, but the number actually employed now is so low that there VIII be an opportunity for the appointment or 1c4o additional clerks under the present bill. This is not enough to meet demahus'
 Representative Martin of South Dakota and Representative Hawley of oregoR nresented amendments which are now pending in the House, the first to give railway mail clerks extra pay when they are compelled to work overtime, and the second authorizing the employment of ex- tra clerks when the regular employees are not able to complete the handling Of maiis ,uithout working overtime.
