VIII Flight for Militia.

Senator Townsend. Of Michigan, has
announced his purpose TO fight for the
militiamen who in normal times arc
employed in the mail service. Many
private institutions have announced
that they will pay militiamen their
regular salaries while they are on nil
itary duty, or will at least give them
the difference between their regular
salaries and the amount II may be nee.
essary to pay substitutes TO perform
their regular duties, accoring TO Sena-
tor Townsend. Not SO, the PostoffIce
department. In what the Senator
terms "a bluff at economy" not only
have the militiamen been dropepd from
the government rolls, but instead Of
employing temporary substitutes the
postmaster general has appointed men
TO the permanent roll to fill tho vacan.
cies. thus putting himself in position
where he cannot, without an act of
Congress, restore those serving with
the National Guard. Furthermore, the
pay OF substitutes is fixed by law at
40 cents an hour, while most OF the reg.
ular employees received considerably
higher compensation. Instead OF seek.
Ing authority from Congress to pay
the difference to the guardsmen-
which authority would have been read

Burleson is filling the vacancies with
permanent men at 81 lee an hour ana
purposes, Mr.. Townsend declares, to
utilize the saving effected to make a
showing Of economy.
