pointment is asked. This instruc-
tion is given in accordance with
the directions of the postmaster
general"
A second order, issued soon af-
ter, says that the above order to
take up slack is intended to ap-
ply not only TO proposed increases
in the regular force, but also to
the employment of temporary
clerks for emergency service, of
for clerks on vacation,

10000 Mail Clerks to Petition
Congress Over Hitchcock's Head
Revolt In the Service Reaches
Threatening Proportions as Gag
Rule Is Drastically~ Applied.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 4-Revolt
is spreading fast among the rail-
way mail clerks and other postal
employees revolt against Hitch
cocks economy program and
drastic Sc of the gag rule to pre-
vent protests.
Now they're going to take their
protests over Hitchcock's head-to
congress-relying on their consti-
tutional right to petition, without
jeopardy to their jobs.
Urban A. Walter, editor of the
Harpoon, is leading the fight. Wal
ter is an old railway mail clerk
His Harpoon is a militant journal
of protest. In the current Janu-
ary issue he calls for 10000 sig
natures from railway mail clerks,
to go on the petition to congress.
He is getting them, and along
with them Z flood of information
that bids fair 10 cause a genuine
sensation when published.
Rumors of possible strike
come from many directions, but
such action is not generally ad-
vocated. The instant dismissal
of a st. Paul clerk who signed a
telegram of protest on behalf of
200 fellow clerks, has inflamed the
men in the service, however, and
added much to the undercurrent
OF bitterness.
Responses to my call for sig
natures to the congressional pc
tition received up to date indicate
clearly that the men in the rail-
way mail service will carry their
grievances over Hitchcock's head
says Editor Walter. "The petit
tion is intended to call public at
tention to the fact that Mr.. Hitch
cock has set aside our guaranteed
constitutional rights, as we'll as to
present our other grievances.
II have already forwarded 20
congress report of 140 unsani-
tary mail cars. That offers an ex-
cellent opportunity for Hitchcock
to save the price of car rental for
the government has every right to
throw out bills for such service
from the railroads.
Take up the slack" Is the or
der from Washington that has
started most of the fuss--the or
der that tied up Christmas mails
in fearful tangle, and drove rail-
way mail clerks to desperation. In
effect, 1t is an order against any
additional appointments of clerks
despite increased business, or even
to- fill vacancies, If the work can
possibly be piled on the preE mt
force, whatever overtime work
without extra. pay) 1t puts upon
them, Walter has obtained copies
Of two letters sent out from Wash

ents of the railway mail service,
one OF which quotes the following
order OF the second assistant post
