Labor Shortage Hits Hard Blow at
Postal Service in South
Jersay

Unless the Postoffice Department can
otherwise remedy the shortage of labor
in it's service, 1t is probable that high
school boys will be employed as mail
carriers during the vacation period in
several South Jersey towns where pos
tai employees have left the service in
large numbers. Camden. Gloucester City
and other towns served by free-delvery
carriers have lost a large part Of their
personnel because of higher wages Of
fered by industries nearby, according to
postoffice authorities at those places.
Postmaster Foley, of Gloucester City.
appealed today to Postmaster Knight at
Camden and Postmaster Thornton. of
Philadelphia, for assistance In meeting
the situation brought about by many
OF his men leaving the service. They
sent back word that they were con-
fronted with a similar situation and
could give no assistance.
Postmasters in some Jersey towns see
no way to escape abandonment Of some
of their rural free-delivery routes.
