suRLEsoN,s ORDER EXPLAINED

Postmaster c. w. McCarty is in re-
ceipt of circular order from Postmas
ter General Burleson relative to the
dropping from the payrolls OF men
who are with the national guard Or
ganizations on the Mexican border
The order reads: ..,.
Because of misleading statements
appearing in certain newspapers re-
garding the status Of those postal en-
ployes who are now in the military
service of the United States. postmas
tiers and other supervisory omcers IN
the postal service, will call to the at
tention of the employees under tnelr
supervision, who are now in the mill
tary service of the United States, the
provisions Of the postmaster generals
order No. 9747, of June rs, 1916, and
again advise them that every postal
employe. Immediately upon his dis.
charge from the military service, will
be assigned to the position held by
him at the time he left the postal SER
vice to enter the military service and
that such assignment to duty will be
made at his former salary without
awaiting the formal approval of the
postofflce department. The postmaster
general desires that not only the post
al employees themselves, but also their
families understand that the employees
are not to suffer the loss of their posi-
lions or the salaries that they carry
because Of having been called into the
military service of their country"
The above order is dated August IA
and is a reply to the action of the Chi
cago Letter Carriers association
which roundly condemned the order of
the postmaster general cutting the
men of the payrolls.
One OF the contentious Of the post
al employees Is that the order stops the
affected employees from enjoying the
annual raise in salary which is due
those who have not reached the stipu-
lated maximums Of their respective
branches. II the men are off the rolls
when the salaries are raised they will
lose their raise. o..
Mr.. McCarty. while defending the
postmaster generals course, intends
to call this latter matter to the atten-
ton of the department in the hope
that it, too, will be satisfactorily ad-
justed. o.#
