POSTMEN ARE VERY
POORLY PAID, SAY
SEVERAL SPEAKERS
Speaker at Cincinnati Conference
Asks Congressional Committee
For Relief For POstmen.

The gray uniform of the letter car
rier is frayed at the edges; its wearer
goes to work mechanically because
his mind Is on the troubles Of his fam
lily, caused by financial pinch; the
old time efficiency is lacking.
This was the picture painted by
John T. Mugavin, Cincinnati letter
carrier, when he appeared before the
Joint Congressional Postal Salary
commission in behalf of the carriers Of
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky at Gin
cinnati this morning. Mugavin pro-
duced statistics compiled from 1s1 an
swers to a QUESTIONABLE sent out to
the Cincinnati letter carriers. Their
salaries range from $1,000 to $1,000
a year. THE AVERAGE EXPENDI-
TURE IN 1918 was $1.456, Mugavin
said.
1.-THE letter carrier is today earn
ing much less than the day laborer,
Mugavin said. "Yet he Is a man above
the average. He must qualify mental
ly and physically. He must pass q
civil service examination and spend
several years as an apprentice. He
must be able to carry 80 or go pounds
around on his back for several hours
at time"
The -concensus of opinion Of all the
speakers who appeared before the
committee was that the present salar-
les are at least 40 per cent too low
The suggestion was made that the in.
creased expenses that would go with
higher salaries be met by restoring
the higher salaries be made by restor.
ing the three-cent rate on first-class
postage and the eight-cent-a-pound
rate for mail order catalogues.

The Importance of keeping Govern
ment insurance is being impressed on
service men by the Red Cross Civilian
Relief workers. Among the attractive
features of this form of insurance is
freedom from taxation, freedom from
restriction as to travel, residence or
occupation, even military service. In
addition, when for any reason the in
sured becomes disabled permanently,
he does not have to pay any more pre-
miums but the Government grant him
the full monthly sum called for by his
policy every month 70 rthe remainder
Of his life.

conserve the small supply on hand for
