WARNS POSTAL CLERKS

Bartlett Cautions Employees of

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-Pos,al
employees have been cautioned by As
sistant Postmaster-Genera Bartlett
not to be misled by propaganda or
misinformation," designed, II was
said. to create unrest among the
nearly 100000 workers in the serv-
Ice.
The caution contained in a state
ment made public tonight was oc-
casioned. It was said. by declara-
tion OF tho National Federation OF
Post-Ofice Clerks that the postal
service was not properly observing
the eight-hour law. as II was
cheaper financially TO work regular
clerks overtime than to employ sub
stftutes."
The statement addressed TO "all
postal clerks" said the department
welcomed the cooperation OF postal
organisations and invited oonstruc-
tive criticism ana suggestions. eut
that nothing could be moro harmful
to tho postal system than a series of
misunderstandings founded on mis-
information. He took exception to
the statements made by tho clerka'
federation. and declared that "Inas-
much as II was put out in your name
We have a right to assume that It is
tho expression OF each one OF You
who are members OF the association"
The federation charged the depart
ment, Mr.. Bartlett said in his state
ment to the clerks. with a violation
OF the postal laws. and in addition
to this general charge, II goes on
to state that we are violating the
law for the purpose of saving
money"
III 1t were true that those at the
head of great governmental de-
.partment were violating tho laws OF
tho land deliberately for any pur-
pose It would be ground for re-
moval," II added. 1T Is about the
worst charge that could be made
against high oficiais. We wonder II
you. our postal cierks. really mean
to make this charge or to indorse
the statements of those who do
