BECK SEES DEFEAT
FOR SALARY SLASH
Postmaster Says Congress-
men Will Never Consent
to Proposed Cuts.

Postmaster Beck predicted today
that the bill in congress to reduce the
salaries of postmasters In line with
the postmaster generals scheme to
reduce expenses, would be badly de-
feated.
The postmaster was included in the
proposed cut. His salary now is
$4,000 and the department bill PLACES
the proposed new salary at $4,000.
This is based on the business Of post
offices which take in annually from
$4,000 to 100000 His present sal
ary of $4,000 is based on the annual
postoffice income of $4,000 or more
The postoffice now does an annual
business of more than 100000. Four
teen years ago it passed the $4,000
mark and the salary of Perry Free
man, then postmaster, was made
$4,000. Although the business has
more than doubled in fourteen years,
the salary increase has been 800.
II know that the congressman will
never consent to reduction of salar-
les Mr. Beck declared.
