Sees Postal Pay Bill
AS Class Legislation
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Quite recently your paper had a
great deal of comment on the atti-
tude of a Western judge regarding
certain postal employees who We're ac-
cused of crimes, and blaming the low
wages paid, stating that the salary
Of 81, 800 a year was disgrace.
wonder If that jurist is aware of the
fact that there are in Washington, to
say nothing of the rest of the coun-
try, hundreds of Government en-
ployes working at starvation wages,
paying them $500 less than the aver
age post Office employe. Being a for
mer post Office clerk myself. 1 am
aware of the conditions under which
post Office employees work, but to
grant certain raises to one class of
Federal workers and neglecting the
rest Is class Legislation and should be
condemned by all political parties.
Every one familiar with the post
office reclassiication knows that their
employees Jared much better than the
so-called reclassification imposed upon
the other Federal workers, for the
post Office clerk automatically gets
his 500 year, which is not true of
the other Government workers.
AS the writer himself is not in the
$500 class, l am in favor of a decent
living wage for all Federal employees.
but let that increase be for all, and
not for the benefit of the favored few.

fessional teams long before the organi.
zation Of the National League. 1t had
| become, indeed, a national sport. But
there was no business union of teams
established as a definite circuit with
regular playing schedule and with
an organic law. The formation of the
National League was the foundation
of the sport as it is established today,
professional, commercial enterprise,
appealing to the sportsmanship of the
people and to local pride.
Base ball has become an immense
business. involving Investments run
ming high into the millions. Great
values in real estate are held by the
clubs of the various leagues. Players
contracts worth in themselves i'm

franchise holders. Salaries that put
the pay scales of the Government
itself to shame are paid. Rich re-

base ball player of high standing Is,
indeed, fortunate young man.

more skilIful sport. Pitching has de-
veloped to a point not conceived half
a century ago. Batting and fielding
are both better. The contests are
shorter, closer and more thrilling. The
attendance has, of course, grown
enormously. Little did the promoters
of the National League, whose enter
prise is now being celebrated, think
that the game which they were then
rather dubiously promoting would de-

in the business of public entertain

Fund Raised by Clerks.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the EDITOR OF Inc
have been reading with much in
terest your editorials on the retire
ment bill for Government employees,
and 1 beg to say that, while admirable
in many ways, you do not sufficiently
stress one point, viz. that every
penny of this fund, growing by mill
lions every year, is contributed by the
employees themselves, not one penny
having been given by the Govern
ment, and every penny being deduct
ed from their wages, with or without
their consent. Can you imagine what
1t means to man with a salary of
500 a month to have $3.50 taken from
that every month? And can you
still further imagine what it means
to any Government employee when
he reaches the age of 20, still in full
vigor mentally and physically, to be
forced out with a miserable pittance
of s36 to $50 per month? 1t literally
means slow starvation or beggary.
And while on the subject of ages,
Is it not queer that a Government
employe becomes spperannuated at
20, while in the Sixty eighth Con-
gress there are seven Senators rang
ing from II to 80 and ten Represent
atives from II to SO, and one associate
justice of the Supreme Court, 81,
are very close to the deadline of 10?
An employe at 20, in full possession
of his faculties, and with all his
knowledge of affairs in his depart
ment. should not be forced out. for
he is much more valuable to the
Government than a new and untried
man aiming to make record and
merely upsetting things. And still
less should he be forced out with the
annuity as now provided, when he
and his fellow employees have pro-
vided and are still steadily providing
the means to give him at least the
bare necessities of life, which the
present anuity will not do
1t is crying shame, and this cruel,
deadly cruel, condition should be cor
rected at once, and justice done, re-
membering always that every penny of
this fund soon to omount to oper s}3.-

George w. Cable.

Few of the present generation of
readers will feel particular sense of
loss in the passing of George w. Gable,
who died Saturday at the age OF so.
He had virtually passed from public
notice, and had not for some years
contributed anything with his pen.
Even had he continued, however, in
the production of novels such as those
which made him famous a quarter OF
a century or more ago it is to be
doubted If he would have held the at
tention Of any large part of the Amer
lean reading public. For George W.
Cable had a style which unfortunately
has passed from the favor in which II
once was regarded. 1t was a charm
ing style of storytelling. an artistic
presentation of life, a vivid presenta-
ton of character. 1t had an at
mosphere distinctly its own. Cable
could not have written the kind of
stories that are now the vogue.
Although public taste has changed,
the novels of such writer's as Gable,
who was cotemporaneous with Howells
and Allen and Page and other novel
lists of high merit during the latter
part of the past century, have, like
theirs, a lasting worth. They marked
a phase of American literary develop
ment. They were wholesome. clean.
inspiring pictures of American life.
They have their historic value, par
ticulariy as they dealt mainly with
Louisiana types, unfamiliar save

Senator William NJ Buffers speech
/ in Boston last week, which was read

man recalled that the Massachusetts,

presidency on March 4. 1925, is the
frst Bay State citizen to occupy 1t

John Quincy Adams was inaugurated.
Then Butler narrated how Adams
took the oath, obviously intending to
| indicate that Coolidge is following
that historic precedent in simplicity:
John Quincy Adams records in his
diary that after two sleepless nights
he was ready for his inauguration
March 4. 1925. and was waited on by
the marshal of the District of Colum-
bia, with other members of local COM
mittees, to arrange for the ceremony
at the Capitol. Escorted by a small
detachment of local militia, he drove
in his own carriage to the Capitol,
followed by President Monroe and
other officials. The oath of
office was administered by the Chief
Justice. The new President delivered
his inaugural address, and was then
escorted back to his own home, 1883

Monroe was Ill at the White House.
and President Adams insisted that she
should not be removed until fully re-
covered. At the inauguration,
local papers said the President was
dressed in a black all-wool suit of
clothes of domestic manufacture. The
cloth was made in Massachusetts,"

ing up on the snow-cleaning work
with some interesting results. For in
stance, he has found that in one of
the sections into which the city is
divided, where 81 men were listed on
the pay rolls as street cleaners, only
SO could be found ON duty, with %
unaccounted for. In another section
the pay roll bore 10 more names than
the number of the actual shovelers-
There are 100 sections in the boroughs
of Manhattan. the Bronx and Brook
lyn. If this scale of absentee pay
drawing is maintained throughout the
entire municipality the drain on the
treasury for unperformed work is
heavy, indeed. The commissioner has
said that he is saving the city approx
imately a million dollars a year by
checking up on these pay rolls.
The strange part of this is that the
the part of municipal agents who
have the hiring and paying of street
cleaners has not excited the New
Workers.. They are used to that sort
of thing. If it is not a snowstorm it
is something else. Still, the taxpayers
who think at all about the cost of city
government are disposed to pray for
open winters 80 long as the millions
that are annually appropriated and
actually spent do not, in fact, give
them clean streets.
Washington has complained of its
snow-encumbered streets and avenues
this Winter, but has had no cause for
grievance on the score of economy or
graft. Every man who has been paid
has been on the job. though undoubt-
edly more men might have been en-

A Ten-Million Snow Bill.

New York taxpayers do not like
snow. They would appreciate a change
of climate that would give. their city
a higher average of temperature and
entire freedom from frost. This is not
a sentimental matter. 1t is purely a
question of business. For snow costs
the big city an enormous sum an
nuaIly. Already this Winter more
than $4,000, 900 has been appropriated
for emergency snow removal, and it
has been calculated that before the
Spring comes the sum will have been
swelled to S10,00O,0 900.
But some New Workers. feel that
perhaps not all of this immense
amount of money can really be
charged up against the climate. Some
of it may be allocated under another
heading on the municipal ledger.
