0. O.k.'SP0STAL RAISE
Against Flat General In
crease, But Favors Civ
ing Urgent Relief.

Business interests embraced in the
mem bership of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States have Voteo
in a nation wide referendum to sup
port IAN adequate increase In postsi
Salaries but against "a fat general
Increase of pay, applicable through
out the country, for all classes OF
postal employees"
An analysis of the vote, made puo-
lie today by the chamber, is said TO
reflect the opposition of business in
terests to the pending postal pay and
rate increase bill.
THE chamber holds" the statement
said, that such increases as those
of which its members have approved
can be made without alteration in
the postal budget and without neces-
stating any increases in postal
rates"
"A review of the reports of the
Civil Service Commission" the state
ment said. shows clearly that the
only urgent needs for increases in
salaries in the postal service are for
clerks and carriers in cities having
the largest postal revenues-that Is,
annual revenues of $S,00O,000 or up
ward. There are approximately
10000 postal clerks and carriers in
these cities-that is, about IL per cent
of the employees in the entire postal
service.
IF these 10000 employees were
given the increase of $500 per annum
contemplated in the pending BILL the
cost would be approximately $4,000
600. Three million dollars more
would cover the appropriate increases
to clerks and carriers in smaller
cities where conditions. although not
serious. may be held to justify some
increases.
''As the budget of the Post Office
Department for the year beginning
with July 1st next shows an ex-
pected surplus of a little more than
$10,00o,000, Congress could, without
any changes in the present rates and
without materially altering the postal
budget, meet the requirements of the
present situation"

To put these programs over in a
