there? Why did he mention just
three or four names and give the Of
fetal title of those having one and
thereby leave the impression that
these four men were out celebrating
and for a good time? Why didn't he
tell the whole story? 1t is said, to
the credit of the head of the newspa-
per which published the story, by
many of the employees, that had he
been in the city he never would have
countenanced its publication. But he
is to blame in this, that he invests
authority for such work in an ire
sponsible young man whose balance
wheel hasn't had the years of exper-
ience one in that position should have.
But to the credit of the average citi-
zen, it must be said that the story
was received with disgust and nause-
ating effect. Like a bad case of vac
cination, it did not take.

THE STATE SENATOR

One of the most important offices
to be voted for this fall is that of
state senator Especially is it i'm
portan to the workingman to see that
the right kind Of man is elected to
this office. The republicans have
nominated a man for senator in this
district that no real union man nor
any other workingman should vote for,
He has never been friendly to organ
led labor; in fact, he is by utterance
nd act very unfriendly He has sew
eral times been a member of the local
typographical union and has been sus-
pended, and at the present time has
heavy fine standing over him in that
organization. This should be enough
information for all union men.

LOSS Of PAY RAISE
FEARED BY SPECIAL
POSTAL EMPLOYEES
Rulings Expected Might Even
Reduce Salary of
Some Clerks.

Special postal clerks throughout the
country fear that under rulings expected
from the Post Office Department they
not only will be deprived of any increase
in salary under the postal reclassifica-
ton Law. operative gtomerrew,. but in
some cases actually viii be rednced fiji
salary. -ss-s.s ~ -s-s-- sas-s.e.--5z !
Special clerks. of whom there are
thousands in large post Offices of the
country, are clerks above the regular
grades of clerkships, who are doing
highly essential and skilled work in the
postal service.
Under the terms of the reclassifica-
ton law for postal employees, as passed
by Congress last session and enacted
into law. two salaries were fixed for the
special clerks of the SERVICE in the
neighborhood of 81, 900 and 81, 900 a year
Rulings anticipated from the Post Of
fee Department before the end of the
day are expected to dash the hopes of
all special clerks by orders expected to
work so as to deny them the increases
granted by the law.
How Ruling Would Work.
1t is believed that this will be done
by means of orders making it neces-
sary for special clerk to actually
work at case" to get the salary in
creases intended for this class under
the law.
If such a ruling is handed down, it
is declared, it will mean that many
special clerks will not only get no in
crease. but actually will be reduced in
salaries, since they no longer work at
cases" as do postal clerks in the reg
ular ratings. The case" is the form
of compartments into which letters are
distributed at post offices in order to
get the letters arranged properly for
dispatch to states and cities.
Clerks in many offices, after having
gone through the regular grades, have
done such meritorious work that post
masters have sought to increase their
salaries. The only way this could be
done in the past was to make them
special clerks" and under this desig-
nation they are earning salaries rang
ing between $1,7O0 and $1,000.
StandinE Of Special Clerks.
In various post offices of the coun-
try the special clerks are in a sense
supervisory over many of the regular
postal clerks who work at the cases."
and in some instances have made .up
the schedules for the various eases"
Intense feeling is manifest in the pos
tai service throughout the country in
the fate Of the special clerks, and
it is declared that unless the salary
increases proposed in the law. are
forthcoming many of the clerks will
quit the service.
Such an eventuality, it is believed
by those conversant with the postal
service, would be a calamity to the
entire service, especially in view of
the fact that the reclassification pos
tai law has had the effect of injecting
new life and pep" into the great
mass of postal employees
Resignation of special clerks also
would mean that post offices through
out the country would lose some. of
their most valuable and highly train
ed workers. g 90

SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.-Anything
to beat McAdoo. That's the lineup
here today. Back of the movement
are not merely the managers of the
Cox and Palmer candidates. but those
who have the faint hope that a
favorite son may be nominated-some
dark horse who has few votes now,
but who may grow as Harding did at
Chicago, if the leaders in the race
are eliminated.
The democrats may be the last
people to admit that they would
initiate anything republican, but the
spell of republican strategy seems to
be upon some of the managers here
Just as there was a combination to
beat Leonard Wood at Chicago, there's
coalition afoot to defeat McAdoo.
The states that have dark horses to
trot forth are being urged to hold
their votes intact for dark horses.
The Palmer and Cox managers feel
that if McAdoo does get up to 500
votes or so, the veto power which
they hold of one-third of the votes, or
the opposition of the favorite-son
delegations, will be sufficient to stop
the advance of McAdoo.
But. coalitions against .McAdoo are
not so easy to sustain here. This
convention is not as closely controlled
