in his town of a, good deal less re- liability than he. are earning from $30 to $50 a week.
 ''The last thing to remember is that it is certainly not a square deal from the standpoint of the carriers themselves. Carriers work from seven to nine hours day. travel F to 15 miles in villages where in many cases the sidewalks are con- spicuous by their absence and de- livers from 50 to 100 pounds of mail. If he works overtime he gets no pay for it and does it all for $500 less than his cousin. the city carrier. Is that a fair proposition?"
 In closing his address Mir. Cowles told the convention that while he was sure most of those present were not interested in the village carrier. they would be quick to see the un- fairness of the situation and would do their bit through the association to help these men who are doing a good piece of work for Uncle Sam, and getting mighty small remunera- tion for it.
 The resolution as taken up late yesterday afternoon at the conven- ton and was passed without a dis senting vote by the postnlasters.
 Water Floods Town
 Heavy rain. starting late last eve ming and continuing this morning, flooded the town and hampered traffic. The water rose nearly two feet under the railroad underpas ss and made it impossible for cars to pass under. Buses were forced to detour through the back roads and were running from 25 to 50 minutes behind schedule. The back roads were rired with mud and snow and made travelling dangerous. An early morning mail truck made an at- tempt to drive under the bridge so as not to be delayed in getting the mail to the post office but met with grief when the water wet the spark plugs and made them useless. The car stalled about halt way un- der the bridge and it was necessary to tow 1t out. The water rose stead lily during the morning and very few cars attempted to so under the un- derpass. The drainage system at the bridge was practically useless.
 No trouble was experienced at the new bridge being constructed on Pennington avenue. The water gen. erally rises rapidly at this point but evidently it was blocked off and damned by mud and water at some other point because the brook rose very little
