MUST POSTAL ,..
WAGES DEPEND
ON INCOME

Washington, Dec. 20.-The admin
istration insists that wages of postal
employees can not be raised until postal
rates are increased, and these en-
ployes are caught between this po-
sition and objections of newspaper
publishers to additional costs.
Secretary Flaherty of the National
Federation of Post Office Clerks
makes the point that railroad work
ers, possessing economic power, are
not told that they can not have a pay
raise until the interstate commerce
commission approves.
'The sensible thing to do is to fix
the cost of service first and then have
competent commission, in a thor
ough way, take up the postage rate
question:" Mr.. Flaherty said.
ave are informed that the admins
tration is willing that the publishers
nay the postage emDloyes the addi-
tional pay raise. Thus a group of
helpless workers, without economic
power and deprived of many political
rights, are to be pitted against power
full interests and made the victims of
the lack of foresight of postal eXecu-
tives.
"No postmaster general in recent
years has requested congress to IN
crease postage rates. In fact, the
question was never thought of until
congress voted the employees increased
compensation.
"While it is wise policy to keep
the postal service approximately self
sustaining, it is an inhuman denial Of
fair play to a group of faithful work
ers to make their bread and butter
dependent upon a settlement of the
intricate rate question"

u. S. EMPLOYEES
GAIN AFTER
THEY ORGANIZE

Washington, Dec. 27.-Federal en-
ployes should contrast working con-
ditions now and before the National
Federation of Federal Employees was
formed, said President Stewart OF
that organization in referring to gains
this union has secured for all federal
employees.
Before these workers united there
was not one benefit of general appll-
cation in more than 60 years. Work
ing hours were increased, but COM
pensation was not changed. Every
effort to secure leaves were reduced.
After organization, these employees
won their first victory by defeating
the Borland bill which would lengthen
the work day.
Three salary bonuses, reaching S24o
annually, were secured. Under the
reclassifcation bill this was added TO
the basic salary. Efforts to reduce
this bonus have been defeated, and
S275 100000 additional has been Sc
cured for federal employees within the
District of Columbia and for the field
service.
The retirement law, with a maxi
mum annuity of $50 month, replaces
the policy of droppin" employees with
no provision for them, regardless oil
their service.
The Sterling-Lehlbach act provides
for classification of civil service.
Amendment to the United States
compensation act permitting compen-
sation for those suffering on account
Of disease contracted, as well as In
iuries sustained while in the perform
ance of duty.
Contrast these gains in less thar
10 years, with conditions under the
unorganized SYSTEM" said President
Steward. He declared that the or
ganized federal employees are march
ing on" The union has just chart
cred its three hundred and first local
