SUPPOSE you WERE THEY.

When living, breathing human vic
tim of injustice knocks very often al
your front door, sometimes as Otter
as twice day, you are pretty near
the Hun class if you sit back in your
soft comfort and refuse to be inter
ested.
How much do you know about those
fine fellows who serve you in blizzard
or sizzarda in rain or sunshine, IN
hail. in sleet, between the lightning
flashes, the letter carriers? You see
them, at this season of the year, work,
ing far into the night under loads
that would stagger horse. Does it
ever strike you that they are your
employees, doing your work, under
your pay? Does it ever strike you
that if great injustice is being done
these faithful fellows, it's because of
your Indifference, your absorption in
self?
The foregoing to awaken you to the
fact that the postal workers, your EN-,
ployes, are asking an increase of pay
from you, in bill presented in your
congress. How have you been treat
ing them?
You have given them one increase
in 40 years-just ten years ago, when
a dollar would 60 twice as far as it
does now, as you we'll know. Their
minimum wage is 1922 per day, the
maximum 1888, or much less than
you'd have to pay to get ordinary
ditch-diggers. And, at that, your postal
employees have to work, on the aver
age, nine years to get that maximum

sion. You make him buy his own uni.
form, the cost of which has advanced
80 per cent since you gave him that
raise, ten years ago. You make him
work long hours of overtime, but pay
him the regular hourly wage for it.
You work him so much nights that
ne has to sacrifice his social life
with family and friends. When he
has loyalty stuck by his job for, say,
40 years and become unified for any
thing else, you turn him out to

grass.
That's the way you've been treat.
ing your postoffice clerks and letter
carriers. And, last year, your postof
flee department returned you at net
surplus of $5,S27,23GO7!
Moreover. in the last session of YOUR
congress you raised the pay of all
government employees except those of
your underpaid, profit-making postof-
flee department.
Now, don't try to dodge the respon-
sibility! Don't try to satisfy YOUR
self by saying that it's up to congress.
1t is your congress-! The shame and
Injustice of this thing are roosting
right on your doorstep. It is your
congress, your money, your employees,
nobody else's, and so the whole re.
sponsibility is yours. Write to your
Congressman and Senators and urge
that they increase the pay of your
faithful postal employees, with your
money, by at least Is per cent.
