COMING TO CLERKS IN ToNo.
PAH PoSToFFlcE

There are two very pleased postal
clerks In Tonopah today It must be
remembered that the rules of the
postofiice department are as binding
and as inexorable as those of the
Medes and Persians. or of that fel-
low Caligula, who has been cordially
hated all through the ages.
Some months ago the axe fell upon
the necks, or rather the purses, OF
two clerks in the Tonopah postofflce.
Through some sort OF technically i.
such as selecting the wrong time for
taking their vacation. overstaying
their leave of absence or failing to
make the proper kind of report %
the seventeenth aid to the twenty
third assistant postmaster generals
chief clerk, they got their salary
docked
The honorable John Wesley Stew
art, by the grace of God, the presi.
dent Of the United States and the
continental congress, to say nothing
Of the Democratic party postmaster
OF Tonopah-w waxed exceedingly
wroth and no sooner had Senator
Pittman alighted from the train upon
his return from Washington than he
was urged and importuned to make
things right The use of bolt or
TWO OF red tape accomplished the de
sired results and this morning the
postoffice clerks received notification
that they would be restored to a liy-
ing wage on the 1st of May.
