WRECKER OF MAIL SERVICE
 REPLACES EFFICIENT HELP

The wrecker of the local postal ser vice is again at work, and unless the department at Washington checks In spentor Neil in his mad parsimouious career it will be up to the public to meet and send protest to the post master general. demanding that this individual either be summarily re moved or sent to some part of the country where he can do less damage than he has wrought in Alaska.
 Not content with having had the clerical force in most Of the offices along this coast reduced to such a minimum that the efficiency of the service has been greatly curtailed. Neil has succeeded in putting another one over. and if his superiors are will ing to stand for this rough work We do not think the public wnl, and is the Chamber of Commerce meets to- night some action should be taken by that body, thus placing the stamp of disapproyal upon the fauaticaI actions of this man Neil
 Although the allowance for clerk hire in most Of the postoffices has been cut so that it is almost impos sible to secure sufficient competent help to keep them running. Neil has decided. and has evidently convinced the higherups. of the wisdom of his foolhardy plan that cheaper clerks can be imported from Seattle. These men are probably glad to earn $75 per month in the states, and Neil thinks
The Cordova daily times., 1916-08-28

they should live on the same amount in Alaska but they cant and every body in the north knows it
 Following out his ideas of economy word has been sent by Neil to the posmas,ers at Cordoya and Seward that when the winter service to the interior starts on October !. and an additional clerk must be added to their force that he will furnish them with a man, presumably some suh-clerk in the railway mail service Thes means that A r. Cooper. who has been con nected with the Cordoya office for the past six or seven years. Will he re- placed by cheap outside man, and is fitting reward for the faithful ser vice rendered by Mr Cooper to the government He has worked long hours. without extra compensation. and is recognized as one of the most capable men in his line of the busi- ness But his position Is to go to a clerk who k inexperienced in the work required at the local office. and no matter how efficient he may be in his present job, he cannot render the same service that has been given by Mr Cooper
 Efficiency and loyalty do not seem to count for anything in the postal ser vice under the present administration as conducted by Neil Hho appears to have a strangle hold on the referee of the game as it is now being played in Alaska.
