GERS were better wages, reduction OF
night and overtime work, elimination
Of excessive Sunday and holiday work
and creation of an impartial body 10
consider complaints and suggestions
of the employees.
Employees representatives asserted
that the service at present was under
manned, that working conditions were
unsatisfactory, that in many cities IN
experienced men were picked up on
the streets to be used as carriers, that
part-time employees, without training,
were employed for sorting mail. that
the present system did not permit expe-
ditious transmission of mails, and that
unrest among employees was increas-
ing.
Postmaster General Burleson's col
ored coachman and his Chinese COOK
ale among overtime employees in the
Washington post office, Thomas W.
F'laherty, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF the
National Federation of Postal EN-
ployes, told the committee, citing this
as proof of his contention that the
service is undermined. Elsewhere
throughout the country, he said. many
overtime employees are at work.
Postmaster General Burleson had
not made single constructive rec
ommendation for the betterment of
working conditions of postal employees.
but, on the contrary. had used his po-
| liLICdi luAuSNCc 70 OCISdI hSCoSo 1AA10
provements, Mr.. Flaherty said.
Representative Byrnes of South Car
DINA came to the Postmaster Gen.
erals defense against the charge of
penuriousness. Mr.. Flaherty referred
to the Burleson report to the Sixty-fifth
Congress-, in which the Postmaster
General said his employees were sell
fishly seeking wage increases when
they were already getting three times
the wages Of soldiers in the trenches.
THE viewpoint of the Postmaster
General is clearly shown in this I'M
just. unwarranted statement" he said.
The witness told the committee there
had been only an II per cent increase
in the total number of postal employees
in the past six years, while the work
had increased 60 per cent in the same
period.
E. ]. Ryan, president of the Rail-
way Mail Association, told the COM
mittee that mail delays could be di-
rectly traced to terminal distribution.
He said that much Of the distribution
of mails that was formerly performed
on trains was now done In terminals.
He further stated that the harsh,
oppressive policies Of the postal adj
ministrators had broken down serv-
ice morale.
Gilbert E. Hyatt, president of the
National Federation of Postal En-
ployes, asserted the attitude of the
department for the last five or six
years has been one of brutal denial
and that failures Of the department
at present cannot be blamed on war,
which he said was only an "alibi."
