POSTAL WAGE VETO
Praised By Borah; Ignores
Increase to $4,000 Men

Washlngton.-In an open telegram
to Senator Borah, Thos. F. Flahertv
secretary treasurer of the Nationa
Federation of Post Office Clerks. re.
minds the Idaho statesman that wher
ne praised President Coolidge for We.
tong the postal employees bill, he
overlooked the presidential approva
of a bill increasing the pay of politi.
cal assistants of the postmaster gen.
eral so per cent, or from $4,000 3
year to $500. Senator Borah. to.
gether with Senators Fess and Willis
OF Ohio cast the three senate votes
against the postal wage bill.
Secretary Flaherty tells Senator
Borah that the principle involved in
both bills is the samoa paw raise
for employees to come out of the pos
tai revenues. President Coolidge ap-
proved the $4,000 increase and dis
approved the $500 increase. The text
OF the Flaherty telegram follows:
The press quotes you as referring
to President Coolidge's veto of the
postal pay bill on June 7 as a cour-
ageous act. Are you aware the presi-
dent signed a bill on April which
increased the pay of ,00O-a-year pos
tai officials in post office department
to $1,000, and other salary increases
proportionally to higher officials, all
to be paid from postal revenues? He
made no mention then of protecting
taxpayers and preventing curtailment
of postal revenues. His courageous
interest, which you laud, in behalf of
taxpayers only manifested itself when
the proposal to increase r-paid
postal workers came before him on
June 7.
Il might suggest you hereafter
qualify your praise of courage Of the
president by expressing regret he
saw fit to display it at the expense
of lower paid workers seeking a $500
pay increase after approving $500
salary increases for high political ap-
pointees in the department. Both
propositions identical in principle
a pay increase to be paid from postal
revenues.
II can see nothing praiseworthy in
the presidents denial to the low-paid
workers the generous consideration he
showed to relatively high paid Off
cials."
