POSTAL EMPLOYEES
/ WANT INCREASE IN
THEIR SALARIES

Local postal employees are strong
for the Say II With Violets" prOpO-
sition which has been advanced as
one means OF raising revenue for the
much desired increase in salaries.
Postal employees all over the cOun-
try are citing that they stuck to
their jobs during the war for patriO-
tic reasons and that they are now
entitled to an increase in salary
slightly proportional, at least, TO the
Jump in the cost Of living.
Following Is the proL Ortlon made
by postal employees:
During the war we all remem-
Der that we had to decorate all mail
not strictly local with a violet stamp.
That meant an extra cent for each
letter. No one complained. Ii Is true
we were at war, and no one would
think OF complaining, but now that
we are practically at peace. what IS
the objection 10 revivinE the little
violet stamp and hurryinE the eX-
ira cent into the Golfers of the gov
eminent for increase in the wages
OF postal and other federal en-
ployes? We are so used TO being
throttled by our grocer, and bruised
by our butcher, and baked by our
baker, and froze by our coal dealer,
that an extra little tap by the gov
eminent 20 the tune Of one cent
could no more hurt our hardened
pocketbooks than a fly could hurt a
steel ball. And so we are for the
violet STAMP. In this great CONNER
cial country. where millions OF let
tiers are written daily, we believe
the revenue that the violet stamp
would collect would do something
toward relieving the tension in the
salary question OF the postal clerks
and other federal employees OF
course II is not warranted to do all
but il would help some"

SECURE DOCTOR
FOR DRUNKEN MAN
City Court Judge Refuses to
Pass Judgment on FL
mer Dawson.

When Elmer Dawson was taken
into city court Tuesday morning to
answ er 10 the charge Of intoxication.
he was in so deplorable a condition
that Judge GIlmer refused 10 pass
Judgment upon him, and ordered
the police TO get medical attention
for the prisoner.
Dawson told the Judge that he
could not remember where he
bought the liquor that caused him
TO be in court. He said that he had
gotten il at so many Ilaces that he
could not remember any particular
place.
Dawson told the police, the au-
thorlties say, that he had been
drinking heavily for more than
week. Tuesday morning he appeared
70 be on the verge of delirium ire
mems.
Police are Pleased.
Asst. Chief Of Police Cassidy was
in the court room and watched the
prisoner cOmplacently. Other mem
bers of the department seemed TO
view the mans condition as one for
merriment.
Dawson was finally taken back TO
his cell and a physician was called.
The prisoner freely admitted that he
was intoxicated.
Peter Williams could not make up
his mind as TO whether ne was
drunk or sober at the time he was
arrested by the police Monday night.
At first he said he was sober, and
later he told Judge Gilmer that he
was not quite sure.
/ "All right" well give you a hear
ing Wednesday morning said the
judge.
A little later Williams decided
that he wanted TO get out OF Jail. He
asked for permission to plead guilty,
but the court held to his decision
that the case should be continued
to wednesday. The judge gave VIII
liams his choice of putting up $50
bond for his appearance in city
court Wednesday morning or re
manning in his cell at the city jail.
