BASIS
| URGED FOR RURAL
POSTAL CARRIERS

Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral James G. Blakeslee, in charge Of
rural deliveries, testifying before the
House subcommittee on postofnees,
today urged the committee to adopt a
piece-work method as a means Of pay
for rural carriers. and base this on
the number of pieces carried and
number OF miles Travelled,
He said this method would make
more efficient, live delivery and mail
ing service, and make of the carrier
q solicitor and business getter for the
Government, and thereby increase the
mail business.
II can sit down with any carrier,
said Blakeslee, "I don't care VAo he
is, and establish an equity, fan and
reasonable compensation, based on
his own figures as given In his own
report.
There's a condition today like that
of q town on FIRE with the hremen
refusing 10 work unless their pay Is
Increased. It's time to put q stop to
Il. I am in favor Of establishing
minimum rate Of compensation, how
ever"

make every possible effort this year to
report contagious diseases In poultry 80
that the focks affected can be treated
