Government to Weigh All
Railway Mail, Beginning
Next Tuesday.
EMPLOYEES COMPLAIN
Force, Already Too Small, to
BE Reduced, Mail Clerks
Declare.

With unworked mail blocking the
cars and the terminal postoffices be-
cause there are not enough railway
mail clerks to keep it moving, trouble
will come when the postoffice depart
ment starts weighing the mail. accord
ing to the clerks. Commencing Tues
day all mail carried on railroad trains
will be weighed. in order that an APP
rroximatc estimate Of the weight Of
mail transported annually by the rail-
roads may hc made. The test will
continue for 35 days Closed pouches
from the branch lines will be weighed
in the local postoffice.
To Check Parcels, Too.
The scmi-annual check on the par
cells post system will he held during
the first two weeks in April. when
every piece of parcels post matter dis
patched from and received at the local
postofficc will be counted. weighed and
classified. The counting in Missoula
will be simultaneous with the count in
offices all over the country
Clerks Complaining.
Railway mail clerks all over the
United States arc making complaints
of the conditions now existing. They
say that the present force of clerks is
insufficient to work the mails on the
trains and that the people of the coun-
try are getting bad service as a result.
A plan Of reorganization Is now going
forward In the department which, If
carried through. will decrease the
present force of clerks by more than
f.500 men, It Is said. 1t is reported
that one of the clerks handling the
mail coming to Missoula from the east
was compelled to refuse more than 100
pouches that had remained unworked
during the trip across the Dakotas and
eastern Montana last week. This mail
is often carried past the station for
which it is intended and is eventually
delivered several days late, clerks say.
These facts are given by the clerks
through their association as a basis
for their prophecy that trouble will re-
suit when the weighing experiment is
attempted. Although there will be a
weigher along to do that part of the
work. the orders sent out by the head
Of the department are for the weigh
ing to be done first and the distribut-
ing afterward

John Brechbill

Wishes to have a straightfor-
ward talk with the voters Of Mis-.
souia and to tell them this:
"For the past two years, my
only term in office, have been
attending to my duties as mem.
Der Of the city council, and,
which is equally important, | have
been saving for the city the sum
Of $500 a year, or 5000 for the
period have been in office. This
have been able to accomplish by
acting as Street Commissioner and
giving personal supervision to the
work Of the street department and
by directing personally the expen-
diture Of the money appropriated
for this division of civic activity.
"Now, this business Of supervi.
sion-and it must be done-calIs
for virtually all Of one mans
time. As everybody familiar with
local conditions must know, | have
been going to work early and quit
ting late. The job Of street COM
missioner-caIl It that or street
foreman, or what you willis
worth $500 year and was pro-
vided for by ordinance and in the
eity's annual budgets at that fig
ure.
1.-THE annual appropriation for
the fiscal year that is soon to be-
gin provides $500 for paying the
man who shall serve as city en-
gineer. This mans work keeps
him about half his time on out
side work and half his time in his
office at the City Hall.
"A Councilman can do tho City
Engineers work or the work Of a
street commissioner or foreman,
BUT IT is IMPOSSIBLE FOR
ONE MAN TO BE COUNCIL
MAN, CITY ENGINEER AND
STREET COMMISSIONER At
THE SAME TIME. The jobs don't
track; that is all there is to it.
have saved tho city $500 a year
during my term by doing the work
as street commissioner as above
stated which is all a COUNCILMAN
could possibly save by serving as
city engineer. Ecither is a mans
job in itself.
"Now to my notion. the position
Of street commissioner is moro
important than that Of engineer.
for this reason: Tho man in
charge Of work on the streets is
tho man who spends tho annual
appropriation for that purpose;
this year it is 5000 and while the
appropriation is 5000 less than
last year. ! feel that with my past
experience | can do as satisfac-
tory work this year with $1,000 as
could before with $4,000. Tho
street commissioner must watch
this fund; he must not spend too
much on this and leave that to
be neglected.; he must spend the
money where it will do the most
good to the most people and in
this he must exercise care and
discretion-above all, he is tho
man who spends the money.
"These are the reasons why
believe that !, w my record,
should b returned to the position
that ! now hold. have done my
best on this job and m keep right
on IL the people see fit to elect
me-"
