Woman Clerk Quits
After So Years Work

Washington-Surrounded by scores
of friends, baskets of flowers, and a
purse of gold coins in her hand, Miss
Emma S. Brown retired from the gov
ernment service last week after hav-
ing been in the employ of Uncle Sam
for SO years. She will be 70 years
old on April "a. Her record is per-
haps the most unusual Of the thous-
ands of government employees at
Washington.
Miss Brown began work in the bu-
reau of engraving and printing when
oily II years Of age. Her father died
and her brother was killed in the Civil
War, and her help was needed to sup
port the mother and two younger sis
ters. For a number Of years she has
been forewoman of the trimming sec
tion of the bureau.
On behalf of her fellow employees,
Superintendent Robert B. O'Hara pre-
sented Miss Brown with purse full
of gold. blowers from friends were
all about her desk. A committee
from her church also was present to
extend fluctuations.
She retires on a government pen
sion. When she arrived home that
evening Miss Brown discovered an
other shower of flowers and gifts
from the neighbors.

Equipment Down
But Profits Go Up

Washington-The extent to which
private operation of the railroads
tends to enthrone profits above the in
terests of shippers and employees is
revealed in the reports Of two lead
ing carriers to the interstate com
merce commission. During the first
two months of 1924 the New York
Central and the Pennsylvania have re
duced the proportion of the shippers
dollar used to provide for adequate
service and have laid off thousands Of
mep in order to squeeze out larger
net income for stockholders. This re
suited in a serious impairment of
equipment.
The results will win the praise of
stockholders. Pennsylvania profits
for the first two months of 1924
amounted to $11,311 ,O71 as compared
with only $8,413,381 for the same
period in 1923. But last years total
profits reached $88,065,252, exceeded
only once in the railroads history and
gave common stockholders a return of
more than 1870. The owners can
hardly request larger return this
year.
New York Central profits for the
first two months amounted to $8,-
2,246 as compared with $7,734 ,645
a year ago. But last years profits
when complete amounted to $45, $780,
AIT, giving common stockholders
nearly 1796 on their money, so here
again squeezing necessary expend1-
lures is not justified.

New Champion For
Postal Employees

Washington-Rep. Clyde Kelly of
Pittsburgh has delivered in the house
the most notable speech on the post
office and its relation to American
civilization, and it's responsibility to
the postal workers, that has been
heard since LaFollette's fight on the
Taft gag rule" a dozen years ago.
1t is printed in the Congressional
Record for April II. 4
He applied seven principles for
wage determination, used by the rail
road labor board, dealing with rela-
tive wage scales in similar lines of
work. On each point he showed that
the postal workers are in an inferior
position. In the matter of health
hazard, for example, he produced evil
dence that 7O9t Of the postal clerks
work at night, under artificial light
and in poisonous air.
Officers of the unions of postal
workers are confident that public
opinion is being so aroused that the
wage increases will not be denied by
congress.

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1924-12-21

IN the past few years, and particularly
this year, has been such that we must
have additional building space. We will
either be forced to take over the entire
lower floor Of the present building, or
to go into a new and larger building
some time in the near future"
Since Mr.. CHM has been postmaster,
January |, 1921, the delivery service Of
the office on the two rural ror.tes has
been motorized, the rural route carriers
formerly using horses. Also the parcel
post delivery in the city has been mot
o,ized, the delivery man formerly walk
ing, and this has made the service in
the city much more rapid.
Need Space
The office employs seven clerks, two
city carriers, and two rural carriers,
and the payroll of the post office runs
close to 1$25,0 600 a year, Mr.. CHM said.
The business increase has brought the
post office back to the first clase ranks
for the second time, bat this time it
will be permanent. The office was a
first class institution in 1918 during the
abnormal conditions prevailing when a
large number Of soldiers were here.
Mrs. Jesse O.. Wheeler, formerly editor
and publisher of the Herald, was post
master at that time.
"Our aim here is to increase the eff
f~iciency of the service to Brownsville
patrons" Mr.. CHM said, "and the rapid
increase that we have experienced in
business during the past few years, we
will nave to lave additional room in
which to give the best service. We will
make Increases in, the CLERICAL and deliv-
cry forces as they are needed.
81 am sure of one thing, the post
master continued, "and that is that
B gownsville will never drop bach into
the ranks of second class post offices
again, as the business has increased
every month, and not just in spurts-
Our Christmas business this year has
been much larger than during any prev
ious year, and before January l we ex-
pect our receipts to show considerably
more than $4,000 business during the
year 1924"

with the best in the state. The system
has been referred to by Mr.. Works, di-
rector of the recent statewide school
survey as a model. The high school has

other leading institutions of the south.
School System Unusual
Besides the high school building there
are two grade schools, both substantial
structures, and one devoted to the in
struction of Mexican children. There
are between 675 and 700 enrolled in the
system and 27 teachers are emmployed,
all fitted for the work by special prep
a~ration, many of them holding degrees
from first class colleges.
The Edinburg school system has two
unusual features. One is the teacherage
and the other the fact that pupils are
gathered up from the district daily by
automobile trucks.
The Edinburg teacherage, or faculty
club, is said to be the first of the kind
instituted in the state. The teachers
now occupy a building constructed for
the purpose and receive board and room
at considerable less expense to them
selves thar would be possible under any
other arrangement and the institution is
self-sustaining.

three miles out from the city on the
Gulf Coast lines, will be completed at
that time, according to the present con-
struction program.
The new brick and tile plant, remodel
ed and virtually rebuilt at a cost of ap-
proximately 100000, will turn out an
enormous quantity Of products made
from Valley clay, for use in the Rio
Grande Valley, according to j. c.. Ben
l4-tt, president of the corporation.
The old plant was constructed twelve
years ago, and was a part Of the Browne
properties for many years. 1t was pur-
chased by Mr.. Bennett four years ago,
and ne has been operating it since that
time. Recently he formed a corporation
for the purpose of putting in modern
machinery and appliances, rebuilding
and charging the plant. and turning
out a large quantity of material.
Corporation Formed
When the new corporation was form
ed, Mr.. Bennett was elected president,
and the other officers selected were
A. A. Highbarger, secretary and trea-
surer, and Fred Rusteberg, H.. l.. Stoke
ly, of Des Moines, Iowa, and Frank Ro-
bertson of San Benito, as members of
the board of directors.
Claude Smith of Mason City, Iowa, es-
perienced engineer in brick and tile
products, was given the contract to
handle the rebuilding and charging of
the plant, and is progressing rapidly in
this work.
