WANTS VACATION
| FORMAILCLERkS
Senator Knute Nelson Asks
that Leave Be Granted )
Railway Mail Men.
10000 TO BE AFFECTED
Those Mentioned 0aly Men in the
Classified Service Who Do
Not Get Leave.
10000 TO BE AFFECTED

Senator Knute Nelson introduced a bill
yesterday which he believes viii do tardy
| justice to the 5000 railway mail clerks
IL It is enacted into law.
The men who sort and separate the
mails with lightning rapidity while speed
the only persons In the classified civil
service who do not enjoy an annual vaca-
ton. .. Ink.
| They are subject to call at all times,
including holidays and Sundays, and do
| not even have the privilege accorded
other employees Of the government when
they are i'll.
| when sick or unable to go on their run
| for any reason whatever must provid
| a man on the waiting or substitute list.
| The bill of Senator Nelson provides for
an annual leave for not exceeding fifteen
days with pay. The usual period of de-
partmental vacation Is thirty days. The
railway mail clerks work on a minimum
Of 2,24o hours per annum.
Many of them work more hours than
| this, and some work less. So there are
some officials who think that the annual
leave should be based on a maximum
and minimum basis, and would submit
another proposition in lieu OF Senator
Nelson's bill.
Some Provisions.
They would allow one days leave for
every eight hours OF service performed
in excess of the 2.2+0 hours of minimum
work, and those who do not come up to
the standard would not get any leave.
This provision did not suit Senator Nell
son. who thinks all of the men should
! have some sort of a respite. at least
4 once a year.
Another scheme to work out the an
nual leave period on the percentage OF
actual work done is to allow. in addi-
ton to the regular fifteen days granted
by the Nelson blu, an additional day for
every eight hours performed in excess Of
the 2,2i0-hour minimum. and for every
eight hours below the minimum to sub
tract one days leave of absence.
The induction OF the parcel post has
put great deal of extra work on the
travelling mail clerks In the opinion
OF experts. the Post-office Department
will soon have TO put on special cars
with cold storage facilities. The mail
cars are heated by steam in the winter.
and perishable articles, as we'll as butter
and eggs. sent by parcel post, have in
many instances spoiled in transit Par
eel post freight cars or something ike
It is only a question of the future.
Washington is a center for railway
mail clerks. A large number of them
start out from here on their routes, and
many reside here.

We all desire approval. and
 hope that when we die, our pre-

 gets will at us point the finger of pride and confidence. And SO, to gain indorsement, we try all kinds of tricks; some strive for law enforcement, some enter pol tiles; some try to heal diseases by making purple pills. some
 deal in moral wheczes, and oth- CTS pay their bills. Some cultivate ! pOlltcneSS, or wear a manner great; some have an airy bright = ness that ought to captivate. some hand out elOcution, the yer bal flight that thrills; some plug for revolution, and others pay their bills. Some dress in gnr- geous raiment, with bonnets rich and glad, while tailors shriek for payment, and milliners go mad.
 In one way or another we al
 ways strive to gain the plaudi's of our brother while we on earth
 remain. One method is a win

 paying up of bills. There is nc
