THE railway mail clerks OF st.
Paul are up in arms against the
policy of retrenchment in the pos
tai service as inaugurated by Post
master General Hitchcock where
they are made to do extra work at
the same pay. Formerly the clerks
have been allowed subs to take
care of the rusher but during the
past two months this has not been
done, in consequence of which the
clerks are overworked. The result
of the cutting down forces is that
considerable holiday mail has beer
held up for lack of hands to work
it. The clerks have sent out
statement to the commercial bodies
of the state asking their cooperation
in the fight.
The statement prepared by thu
association says that the depart
ment expects the mails to increas'
in volume from seven to ten pc
cent during the next fiscal year
while to handle this increased
amount of mail the postmaster-gen
eral in the pursuit of his plan TO
economy is asking for $50 fewe
men than at present. The clerk
say that the force should be in
creased by 800 men instead of bein'
cut down.

there is nothing to prevent cities

this kind of protection. Mesaba
