Christmas for him and his thousands OF
fellow workers in Uncle Sans postal
service. Nor will IL be a Happy New
Year.
But Il wasn't the work. The postal
employees as class are good fellows
and don't shrink from the hard work
that b., holiday season loads on their
shoulders.
What took the JOY out Of Christmas
was the knowledge that for another

scale fixed ten years ago when prices
were less than half what they are now
unless Congress, generously overriding
the recommendation OF the Postmaster
General. gives them the wage increase
they need.
There was gloom In every postal
employees home when Postmaster
General Burleson not only refused
TO recommend wage increases to
Congress, but denounced the postal

urged that their organizations, their

BURLESON EXPLOITS POSTAL
EMPLOYEES TO BOOST SURPLUS

out OF his meagre earnings for a bond
that Will insure Uncle sam against loss.
and II he Is a carrier, a good big slice
Of his salary must go for uniforms.
Now here is how Postmaster General
BurlesOn looks at the question OF wages
for postal employees: All employees who
get less than Si00 a month. II they have
served faithfully, studied hard. and
pleased their superiOrs, have a chance
10 receive an automatic wage Increase
that will bring them in a little better
than S8 a month on the average Those

have no right to put forward their sell
flsh interests at a time like this when
the government needs every dollar il
can scrape up.
But the clerks and carriers say,
III Burleson is so greatly disturbed
about the nations financial cond-
tion. why doesn't he turn in his
1000 salary? lie Is a great land
owner, probably the wealthest MEM
Der Of the Cabinet, and he wOuldnt
feel the difference. Why shouldn't
Burleson's concern for the govern
ment begin at home ?"
The plain fact Is that the government

IN the postal service and a great deal
more Of 10. owing to the speedlng-np
methods which have recently been in
troduced. for just about half the value,
measured in terms Of bread and meat.
that was paid ten years ago when the
present postal wage scale was estab-
lshed.
The government, through Burle-
son. Is therefore exploiting Its pos
tai employees TO the extent Of fully
half the real value OF their wages
for tho benefit Of you and the other
hundred million taxpayers and the
glory OF Burlesons annual surplus.
The government hasn't asked a SINH
lar sacrifice from any other class or
business, and until 10 does it seems un-
fair and discriminatory TO ask its em- /
ployes TO be the goat for the whole |
American people. Don't you think so? /

these will he repeated this week after

Those who are asking themselves
what possible good can come out Of
the European war may take that sug-

no doubt In our mind that the war will
sound the death knell of monarchy

government in every European nation.
