Thomas E. Flaherty Declares
.. He Has Not Instituted Re-
forms Beneficial to Workers

Postmaster General Burleson has not
Instituted reforms beneficial to postal
employees. and claims that he has done
so are untrue. according to Thomas II.
Fiaherty, secretary of the National
Federation OF Postoffice Clerks, which
In affiliated with the American FEEDER
alton OF Labor. In a statement Mr..
Flaherty said:
Mr.. Burleson, In his report to the
Sixty-fourth Congress, after stating
that the service was permanently self
sustaining. asked Congress- to nullify
tive reforms" declared Fianerty.
Our eight-hour law, our weekly rest
law, our salary classification law would
have been 'nullifed II Congress had
needed the recommendations OF the
Postmaster General. He asked that the
rate OF pay for substitute service be
reduced despite the fact that these
men earn less than $40 a month.
Cites Roper Recommendation.
Daniel G, Roper. former First AS
sistant Postmater General. and now one
Of the campaign managers for the DEM
ocratic party in New York, told the
House Postoffice and Postroads Com
mittee on December 3, 1918. that IL costs
the department. $4,000 to give the clerks
day of rest. Roper asked that the law
be amended to enable the department
to work all postoffice clerks through
the winter months without any regu-
lar rest day.
LIN view OF the eight-hour day issue
e the recommendation of the Postmaster
General In his report to Congress No

asked Congress to alter our eight-hour
law to make possible the spreading OF
the days work over twelve hours.
