HAPPY EMPLOYEES
GOAL OF Mr. HAYS
Tremendously Interested in
Welfare Work Among Pos
tai Employees of U. S.

Postmaster General Will H. Hays
is tremendously interested in welfare
work among the employees of the Post
Office Department. especially among
the forces Of the big city post Offices
of the country.
The great interest displayed by the
Postmaster General in such work car
ried on at the Washington city post
Office. which he visited late yesterday
afternoon. is believed to forecast fu-
| ture action on the part Of the postal
chief in post Offices throughout the
country.
That night workers at the Washing
| ton city post office can get a cup of
coffee for 2 cents in their own lunch
room particularly impressed Postmaster
1 General Hays.
Comments ON Club.
The Washington City Post ofice
Club, with its bowling alleys and other
| features, was favorably commented
| upon by Mr.. Hays, who inspected each
! feature with his unusual enthusiasm.
| It is believed that the new Postmas-
ter General finds in such welfare work
an undertaking not only dear to his
own heart, but means to rapidly
spread the program of "humanizins"
the postal service upon which he has
placed such stress since he took
charge.
Far-spreading results may even
the postal service to the Washington
city post office, results which would
spread their beneficent effects to
every first. second and probably third
and breadth of the country. Not that
the welfare work at the city post
Office here is beyond lettering, but
that it is big start along the lines
which Postmaster General Hays
would like to see generally realized.
Satisfied Employes In Aim.
Satisfied employees, happy employees
this is the aim of the new admins
tration, for it is felt that only such
efficient service which the country de-
serves.
AS for the money consideration, it
is felt by officials that postal en-
ployes are generally well satisfied
year. AS matter Of fact: D. postal .ai
workers throughout the country are
generally better of, in the financial
way, than the employees in the Post
ONCE Department here. For the lat
ter workers yet await a reclassifica-
ton: being part and parcel of the de-
been reclassified.
Happier employees in the service at
large, therefore, will result largely
through better understanding between
officials and better facilities for en-
ployes to feel at home as they work.
In word, clubs. recreation, lunch
rooms.
Wants Them to he Genefal.
These things Mr. Hays wants to see
made general. Az for the employees, a
now spirit already has been noticed
tmong them since the Postmaster Cen
eral took charge.
II don't know how I am going to
work any harder, but am" a woman
employe at the Washington city post

the spirit Of the Postmaster General.
To-day the hearts Of the clerks are

of hope in their official happiness

Post ONCE Department, following the
