ONLY A START.

Until the figures proposed by a congressional com
mission for revision the of postal service en-
poyes are dgested. by the principals it may not be
possihle even to guess how far the higher pay ug-
eested Will be satisfactory The outsider is scarcely
competent to final decision for the postal clerks
city carriers and others concerned. The man whose
fish interests are all concerned except in a
roundabout indirect manner is too easily satisfied with
the earnings put into the other mans hands He Is
often pepared in advance TO assert and even try
TO prove that what offered to the other fellow IS
plenty.
This may be the case With the wage incident Of
man who has no interest in the postal department
except in his incidental with the service may
quieting the who is spending his life
there in an undivided allegiance faithful
Only the postal employees fully competent TO pass
upon the quality the relief proposed in the Of
the commission.
On one point there is unanimous agreement outside
the postal department well in il That ) the
pitifully small pay forced upon working
and loyal of the people If there is ac-
the public will find it difficult to swallow in
silence il is that people hard taskmasters
With living costs mere than 100 per cent above pre-
days the pitifulness of basic age
Of from $500 $1,000 year speaks for itself
than words the postal employees can dig up. With
the dollar in half. the real meaning that the
clerks and carriers receiving a minimum Of
$500 and a maximum of 200. but half that much
And anyone with knowledge of elemental arithmetic
soon find cut how far go supporting
himself, leaving his family OF the reckoning on
s40O a year by using his own wages as a basis Of
reckoning The proposed figures should be only
beginning toward giving justice the postal workers
