POSTAL CLERK WORSE OFF
THAN EVER, He CHARGES

Charging that the Postoffice De.

the total cost Of postal clerical
services has created an erroneous
impression in the public mind,
Thomas F, Flaherty, secretary
treasurer of the National FEEDER
alton of Postoffice Clerks, stated
today that clerks in the field
service were producing more for a
lower real wage than any previous
time lin the history of the postal
service. a.
''Postoffice clerks have been
granted approximately a SO per
cent pay increase since 1919" said
Mr.. Flaherty. Their money wage
has risen from $1,000 to 81 800. But
according to President Coolidge's
figures. as disclosed in his Labor
Day address, living costs for the
same period have risen So per cent.
Thus the actual wage of the post
office clerk, despite his greatly in.
creased productivity, is lower now
than ten years ago"
