HOUSE 0. KS BOOST FOR NAIL
CARRIERS

Washington, May 16--An amend
ment to the postofIice appropriation
bill, providing for an increase of 5000
a year in the salaries of clerks, let
ter carriers and certain other postal
employees, and increases of 20 per cent.
for rural mail carriers and for en-
ployes receiving less than $500 year,
was adopted late today, by the SEN
ate.
Employees receiving between $500
and $1,000 annually would be given
increases of 10 per cent and the pay
of substitute clerks and carriers
would be fixed at forty cents an hour
For fourth class postmasters, the
amendment provides that they shall
receive 100 per cent. of stamp cancel
lations on the first 800 or less, or in
the event cancellations do not exceed
$50, a 20 per cent. salary increase.
This amendment, offered by Senator
Bankhead. chairman of the postOffice
committee, is practically the same as
the Mudden-Moon bill, which was
adopted by the houses as separate
measure, axcept that the amendment
provides increases only for the fiscal
year instead of making them perma-
nent. Senator Bankhead estimated
that about $4O,OOO,OOO will cover the
increases.
Practically the entire day was de-
voted by the Senate to debate on the
amer ,ment Most of those who spoke
said falary increases were necessary

how much the deaths among children Of this

Philadelphia almost in class alone in infant

more negroes than white children are dying.
This is due to several things. 1t is "A fact
that four times as many negro mothers are
in service as white mothers; that twice as
many negro children are In industry than
white children of the same age. The negro
baby is thus cut off more frequently from
the care Of its mother and also from the care
of older sister or brother than the white
child 1t is not as likely to be well nurtured
nor are it's surroundings as sanitary. The
