SOUGHT FOR
LOCAL LP.O.
Postmaster General Also Asks
Better Pay for Workers
in D. c.

Marked improvement OF postal
working conditions for employees in
the department building and the
mail equipment shops in this city,
and an extensive local building pro-
gram are among the recommenda-
tons of the Postmaster General in
his annual report, submitted today.
The Postmaster General asks re-
vision of wages in Washington to
put the departmental workers on
a fair footing with employees In
other governments and postal
workers in the field.
He declares that 1t els a lament
able fact that men and women of
mature years, both white and
black, and many having families
to support" are being paid wages
to the workers themselves, but a
Taking into consideration also
the feet that the cost Of living in
Washington il high. much higher.
In fact, than in the field" the re.
port continues. this disparity of
compensation discloses an injustice
demanding speedy relief"
Disparity In Pay.
The report cites the fact that in
many cases chiefs Of bureaus in
Washington are actually being paid
smaller wages than their subordi.
mates in the field. and declares that
the department is handicapped by
the fact that its more skilled EN-.
ployes are taking advantage of the
transfer privilege to secure higher
paid positions In other depart
ments.
The Postmaster General asks the
extension Of sick leave privileges
to employees OF the mail equipment
shops In Washington. He requests
that. In addition to the regular
thirty days sick leave granted all
other Government employees. the
mail equipment shop workers be
granted an extra thirty days leave,
In the discretion Of the Postmaster
General, in exceptional and meri-
torious cases, where to limit the
annual leave to thirty days in any
one calendar year would work pc
culiar hardship"
More Buildings Here.
The building program calls for
the following projects:
Immediate erection of an addi-
ton to the rear of the new city
postoffice building at Union Station
plaza, on land now owned by the
Government. The addition IL neces-
sary. the report states. to meet the
