dog. Weighing about thirty-five
pounds, was lifted from his feet.

lifted higher into the air and over
a thicket some 100 feet away.

PAY RAISE FOR 100
IN D. C. POST OFFICE
Twenty-Three Letter Car
riers and Seventy-Four
Clerks Are Affected.

Nearly 100 clerks and carriers of
the Washington city post office were
today notified Of increases in salary
to take effect tomorrow, the begin
ming of the new fiscal year in the
government service.
The Post ONCE Department author
ized the increases. upon recommends
tion of Postmaster Mooney. Twenty
three carriers and seventy-four clerks
of the local post office are the bene-
ficiaries.
The carriers receive Increases of
500 a year, their salaries ranging
from 1,400 to $500. In the clerical
force three men are promoted to
$500 a year: twenty-four to $1,000;
twenty to $1,700; seventeen to $1,000.
and nine to special clerkships at
$4,000 year. One received the grade
of foreman at s2,100 a year.
Employees in the Post Office Depart
ment are declared the poorest paid
workers in the government, for the
same grade of work.
On this account, officials feel that 1t
is proper to promote clerks at all
times of the year, rather than walt
until the beginning of a new fiscal
year. The postal service, in which
the Washington city post office is
cIassed. was reclassified several years
ago and provision was made for the
automatic advancement of carriers
and clerks, starting in at $1,400 a
year, and ending at $1,000 year.

Owing to shortage of appropria-
tions the postal service greets the ad-
vent of the fiscal year with JOY. as II
