agement One of Big est Features of Year.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The report of
Postmaster General Burleson shows
that an unprecedented business was
done by the post office department
during the year ended June 80, 1918.
Not taking into account the in
crease of postage for purposes of war
revenue, which went to the account
Of the United States treasury and is
not a part of the postal fund, there
was an increase of $14,749, 845.8S in
the income of the postal service COM

June 80, 1918. was $44, 1000. Omit
ting this from the reckoning of the
accounts of the postal service, the

Bonding of Government Employees.
To more adequately protect the
government and afford relief to the
officers and employees of the postal
service, it is again recommended that
the departrn ent be authorized to bond
its own employees through the estab-
lishment and maintenance of a guar
anty fund derived from assessments
levied against and collected from
such employees in lieu of the present
plan of securing bonds from COM
mercial bonding companies, In his
report the postmaster general says:
''In former reports the postmaster
general has pointed out not only the
cum bersome method Of bonding off,
GERS, contractors, and employees of the
post office department but the excess
sive premiums paid for fidelity bonds.
He has repeatedly urged that author
ity be granted to substitute a guaran-
ty fund in lieu of these bonds, this
fund to be tablished and main
tanned by assessments fixed and pre-
scribed by the department The vex-
atious problems which confront the
departm ent in the transaction of it's
business because of delays on the
part of the surety companies, also
the prompt designations of persons
to act in lieu of postmasters dis
placed because of delinquencies, have
demonstrated fully the wisdom of
this recommendation, and legislation

Among the more important mat
tiers pertaining to legislation men
toned in the report are the follow
ing:
Telegraphs and Telephones.
Government ownership of the tele-
graphs and telephones is again rec
commended. The postmaster general
says: The experiences as a result
of the present war have fully DEM
onstrated that the principle of own
ership of the telegraphs and tele-
phones is not only sound but practi-
cal. 1t has been necessary as a war
emergency measure for the congress
to consider legislation authorizing the
president to assume control Of the tel
egraph and telephone systems of the
country. While such control is tenn
porary and will exist only until the
ratification of the treaty of peace, yet
the best results can be accomplished
only when these systems are owned
by the government made a part of
the postal establishment and operat-
ed solely with a view to serving the
public and not of making profit or
guaranteeing returns on the invest

it would in no way affect the status of
the post office, the incumbent, or the
service to the public, but would great
ly simplify accounting methods Leg
islation permitting the department to
establish stations without regard to
the population or the distance from
the corporate limits is again urged.
In this connection attention is direct
ed to the letter of the auditor Of the
post office department., who has &C
complished so much in the matter Of
placing the accounting and auditing
of the department upon an up-to-
date and businesslike basis and who
gives most substantial reasons why
the authority requested should be
granted.
Clerk Hire At Third Glass Offices
An appropriation is made annually
for clerk hire for post offices of the
third class. These offices are of the
presidential class, paying salaries to
the postma sters Of from $1,000 to ST.
900 per annum, inclusive, in the
smaller of these offices little clerical
assistance is needed, but in the larger
ones considerable help is required to
handle the work promptly. The law
fixes the maximum amount allowed
for clerk hire, which varies from $500
to $500 per annum, according to the
size of the office. The maximum al
lowance is not necessary in all In
stances. The high wages paid in
many of these smaller localities dur
ing the past year made it difficult in
some instances to obtain sufficient
clerical help for the maximum
amount provided, and some temper
a.r-v relief should be granted post
masters in these instances, however,
when conditions again become nor
NAL there should be no difficulty in
New Britain herald., 1918-12-06

securing the necessary help at the
amounts heretofore authorized. To
relieve the existing conditions at
post offices of the third class it is felt
that during the next fiscal year the
department should be granted author
ity to allow where necessary an
amount not in excess of SO per cent
more than the maximum now fixed
by law, and that the congress should
enact legislation to this effect.

Extension of Civil Service.
To further eliminate partisan poll
tics from the postal service, to rec
ognize merit and efficiency, and in the
interest of the public service, it is
again recommended that the neces-
sary legislation be enacted to include
in the classified civil service the posi-
ton of postmaster at Presidential Of
fees; and to extend and perfect the
efficiency system obtaining in the
postal establishment, it is also recon-
mended that the positions of assist

HURLEY OPTIMISTIC
DESPITE GEDDES TALK
Hopes of Allies, He Says. Is in Com.
batting Submarine.

Optimism in face Of Sir Eric Geddes'
announcement Of shipping losses was
the tenor OF the comment last night
by Edward N. Hurley, chairman Of
the United States Shipping Board. on
the statement of the first lord Of the
British admiralty.
Although Sir Eric's figures are not
of themselves encouraging, said Mr..
Hurley. there is nothing discourag-
ing in them. We have known of the
condition here, as they have known
of It in England; 1t means simply that
British and American shipyard work
ers must meet the situation by speed
ing up ship production"
Mr.. Hurley sees no hope Of the
United States and the allies being in
a better position in the matter of tom
mage at the end OF this year II the de-
struction by summaries continues at
the rate Of the last twelve months,
which totaled 5000. 600 tons gross.
The hopes OF the allies, he said, are
not centered entirely on ship pro-
duction on a basis OF producing ships
more quickly than Germany can sink
them. for Germany is increasing her
capacity for destruction by increas-
ing her submarines; the growing hope,
he said, is the curtailment of Ger
many's capacity for destruction by
sinking her submarines.
This phase, he emphasized, robbed
Sir Eric's announcement of deep gloom
that otherwise would have enshrouded
il. He pointed out that the warfare
against the submarine cut down ship
ping losses in the last quarter of 1871
to the point where the allies were re-
placing Is per cent OF their losses by
new production.
Mr.. Hurley was enthusiastic over the
offensive against the submarine by the
United States navy. He said that al
ready the combined work Of America
and the allies in destroyer patrol.
armed ships. conveys and new inven-
tons has reached the point where they
probably are keeping Germany's sub
marine strength at a dead level, de-
spite Germany's intensive production
