BURLESOA ORDER
WOULD CUT WAGES
Railway Mail Clerks Will
Suffer Under Terminal
Handling Plan
MANY TRANSFERS
ALSO INCLUDED

WASHINGTON, d. C., Feb. THE
existence of confidential orders for
surplus boosting revision of the rail-
way mail service, issued at Postmas-
ter General Burlesons dictum. was
recently established by the Senate
Postoffice Committee. Senator Hard
wick, of Georgia. a member Of the
committee. said he had heard ru-
mors" of their existence at a recent
committee meeting. When the oppor-
tunity presented itself, a few days
ago, at a committee hearing on the
pending postoffice appropriation bin
he made several pertinent inquiries.
The Department was Immediately ask
ed 10 submit a copy for the commit
tees information. The aftermath is
that the orders are soon TO appear
as part of the committees printed
records.
Incidentally the cat is out Of the
bag. Everything surrounding these
orders indicates that the department
wanted TO put them into effect minus
the public clamor and kicks which
accompanied previous revisions.
The CHIEF function Of the railway
mail service is to expedite delivery
and dispatch of mail-distributiOn in
transit-tO the utmost. This is the
Idea on which the service was estab-
lished and never before in the fifty
odd years of its existence has its re-
markable capacity for handling the
country's mail been so seriously
threatened.
If the Burleson orders go into
effect, crews on all mail trains gem
orally will be reduced to a minimum.
Anything like ordinarily heavy mails
will see prolonged delays for lack Of
the human material TO work them.
QUAINT ties of natter will he sorted
and placed in sacks at terminals and
delayed from one to twelve hours -
this is actually happening daily now
in different sections OF the country --
IN the event It is not ready TO be
placed on is regularly scheduled
train. The next train out is the alter
DRtive.
The terminal idea Of working mails
appears to be a pet economy scheme.
1t does save money. Railway mail
clerks receiving S1400 and $4,000 a
year on trains are plaC-d IN terminals
and given $1,000. The orders will re-
suit In numerous transfers of line
headquarters from centers of popula-
ton to small outlying districts where,
theoretically there WI be more con-
venient exchange or transfer point.
New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore,
St. Louis, Chicago. Cincinnati, Cleve-
land. st. Paul Milwaukee, New Or
leans. Memphis, Kansas City, Denver
Seattle and San Francisco, are just
as liable to be treated to this sort OF
thing as not.
The orders also mean that reduced
mail car crews will be compelled tC
decline additional mail at interme'
diate points on a given mail line ii
they happen to have sufficient mai
on their hands to keep them busy
This refusal to accept mail is already
approaching a chronic stage in. tho
service.

has been undergoing a trying out

instances suffered severely. It has re-
suited I'm an additional complaint
against the present postal regime.
The bigger-surplus-every-year pol
icy Of the Postmaster General Is too
well known to suggest further com
ment. An additional reason for these
last revision orders-the rural SER
vice and the postal clerks have al
ready gone through them with re-
sultant inconvenience TO the public -
is the determination to make good on
the space basis on which to calculate
compensation to be paid railroads for
carrying the mails. II wfll be remem-
bered that Mr.. Burleson partially won
his fight before Congress last year TO
have the space basis substituted for
the old system of paying by weight.
The two systems are now being tried
out under the eyes Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. This body
will determine which system is pref
erable. Piles of filled mail sacks do
not occupy many cubic feet. Railway
mail clerks must have a little more
than elbow room to do their work.
How long must the mail receiving
