GOVERNMENT WILL
REDUCE EXEMPTIONS

Washington, August "a ruling
by the post office department shows
that department officials will make
few requests for the exemption OF
postal employees from military SER
vice. Postmasters are instructed
not to ask for exemption for car
riers or for clerks in second class
offices below the $1,000 grade,
clerks in first class Offices below the
$1,100 grade, or any above these
grades unless they are qualified
distributors of mail.
The ruling is the first formal ac-
tion by and executive department in
compliance with President Wilson's
order directing that department Of
ficials indicate exemptions and that
the requirement of indispensability
be rigidly enforced. @,
AS generally construed the pos
tai ruling shows the purpose of the
administration to make the govern
ment department leaders in freeing
valuable employees for war service.
The entire mail carrier force,
numbering thousands of men OF
whom considerable percentage are
within the draft age limits, is ex-
cluded from exemption except for
physical reasons or because of de-
pendent families. Even rural car
riers are included.
The departments ruling leaves
railway mail clerks within the ex-
emption classes as they are highly
specialized distributors.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
took steps today to reduce the num-
ber Of exemptions because of de
pendent families. Instructions were
sent to all governors pointing out
that the minimum pay Of soldiers
is now $50 a month and that local
boards must consider whether a
mans dependents could not be sup
ported on that amount:
