Zone Employees Live Under
Socialistic Conditions.

That the Panama Canal earned
last year an average Of Sls0.SS3.3a

of operation and the maintenance OF
civil government, health department
and Washington office. was the
statement made last night by W. c

Wage and Grievance Board in an
swer to Secretary Of War Weeks
attack OF extravaganza of the canal
The reason for paying the canal
zone employees more than any other
government employees Is that in sew
ering Of business and social condi-
tions in the United States makes
former employe Of the canal a
stranger in his own land on his re-
turn there, adds flushing. he
pointed out that the canal organiza-
ton is recognized as the best or
ganized and most efficient force IN
the world, in answer to Weeks ref
erence OF the Panama Canal gov
ernment is a pure example Of state
socialism"
In explaining why free house rent
is given the employees flushing says;
The canal zone is government res
ervation and no one may own land
or construct anything upon 1t; the
policy of furnishing quarters for
the employees is the same as is In
vogue with the army and navy and

Representatives of 100000
Postal Employees See
Dept. Chief.

Representatives of organizations
with a membership of more than
100000 postal employees yesterday y
had a conference with Postmaster
General Hays for the purpose OF
considering plans of establishing a
welfare department in the service.
The conference was in line with
the Postmaster's plans OF humaniz-
ing the postal service by liberaliz-
ing the rules for retirement and re-
instatement.
Under the law most civil service
employees are retired at the age of
20. The law provides, however. that
rural letter carriers and post office
clerks may be retired at IS, and
railway mail clerks at 81.
Postmaster General Hays is dis
posed to consider favorably a plan
to permit superannuated EMPLOYEES
to remain on their jobs IL thew so
desire. provided they are certified as
competent by the local postmaster
and a physician.
Other suggestions that will prob
ably be adopted by the Postmaster
General provides liberal terms of
reinstatement for employees who
have resigned, and permission for
those who are discharged to appeal
their cases to the Postma ster Gan-
eral himself.
