a DESERVING CLAIM.

The appeal which the postal clerks and carriers
have made To congress for relief through advances
in basic salaries seems TO nave unusual merit in the
facts presented The statistics the clerks and
riers submit in confederation OF the claims are
more meritorous. since the figures take the public
into the inside OF the postal service where opera
tons may be seen much more clearly than from the
outside The case OF the postal clerks and carriers
is parallel the condition which existed for so
long the public schools according the state
ments and statistics submitted to congress and
hroadcasted the public through the employees
organization.
Experienced and valuable clerks and carriers
have resigned allowed themselves to be dropped
that IS positively alarming if the in
valuable service of the postal department is to be
maintained
The feature of the postal clerks and carriers
claims for advance in basic wages that will force
itself forcby upon public consideration that
unless grants the relief asked. he postal
service will be broken down completely since the
remaining clerks OF skill and trainng-like the
teachers-are only holding in the hope that con
gress will act. If they dsar pointed the number
Of vacancies will be increased the places filled
with incompetents which will mean a thoroughly
demoralized postal service. None will deny that n
basic Of from $500 to $1,000 year is abs,Irdly
unjustly low the face of current living costs.
Only good can give the public good postal
service. and good cannot be had for maxi
mum of $1,000.
