HOOVER GETS PLEA
ON POSTAL JOBLESS
Substitutes, Off Pay Roll at Balti.
more, Suffering From Economy
Cuts, Flaherty Declares.

Relief for substitute postal employees
of Baltimore was urged in a petition
submitted to President Hoover today by
Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary-treas-
urer of the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks.
Curtailment of work in the Balti-
more Post Office, the petition declared,
has resulted in reduction in the earn
ings of substitutes below a subsistence
level. The majority of the men affected,
he said, are married, with dependent
families.
The Baltimore situation, according to
Flaherty, is similar to general con-
dition throughout the country, which
has been aggravated by an economy
drive on the part of the Post ONCE
Department for further reduction in
postal operating costs.
I'm direct conflict with the recon-
mendationS Of the Presidents Unem-
ployment Relief Committee" Mr.. Fla
herty said, "the First Assistant Post
master General. Arch Coleman, under
date Of November 5, instructed post
masters to rearrange working hours of
regular employees to avoid the employ
ment of substitutes and to institute
other rigid economies in operating
costs. This had the effect of spreading
the days work to 10 hours for thou
sands of regular clerks and to large
extent shut of the substitute from work
opportunities"

and noblest of any age in all
the world.
There have been no greater
generals in the field and states
men in the cabinet in our own
and other nations. There has
been no greater character.
When we think of Washington,
it is not as military leader,
nor as executive or diplomat.
We think of the man who by
sheer force of character held
a divided and disorganized
country together until victory
was achieved, and who, after
peace was won, still held his
disunited countrymen by their
love and respect and admira-
ton for himself until a nation
was welded into enduring
strength and unity"
Victory for Mankind
This national shrine stands
for more than a glorious bat
tie. It is a shrine which SYM
bolizes things of the spirit. The
victory of Yorktown was a
victory for mankind. It was
another blaze in the great trail
of human freedom. Through
these ideas and ideals the
minds of people were liberated,
their exertions and accomplish
ments stimulated.
The primary national conse-
quence of the independence we
finally won here Was the re-
lease Of our national mind
from all hampering restraint
put upon us by subjection to
another nation and an older
civilization. Here America be-
came free to be America. We
acquired the opportunity for
unrestrained development of
government and culture. that
should be our own. 1t has made
possible the realization Of those
visions of government and
organized society which arose
among us as a result of indi-
viduality of temperament born
of the frontiers of new conti-
nent.
Cites Nations Progress
If we look back over these
$50 years, we see our Nation
marking progress with every
decade. From. these Communi-
ties Of 100000 people scat
tered along the Atlantic Sea-
board, it has grown to more
than 12O,0O0,00O. 1t has marked
the full sweep of the continent
to the Pacific Ocean with mag
nificent cities, homes, and
farms, with a degree of COM
fort and security hitherto un-
known in human history.

full institutions born of new
ideas and new ideals, new vi

attained a wider diffusion Of
liberty and happiness and more
of material things than hui
manity has ever known before.
It has attained a security
amongst nations by which no
thought ever comes tnat an
enemy may step within our
borders.
While temporary dislocations
have come to us because of the
World War, we must not forget
that our forefatherS met simi-
lar obstacles to progress time
and again, and yet the Nation
has swept forward to ever-in-
creasing strength. The unparal-
leled rise of America has not
been the result of riches in
lands, forests, or mines; 1t
sprung from the ideas and
ideals which liberated minds
and stimulated the spirits Of
men. In those ideas and ideals
are the soul of the people. No
American can review ti:is vast

confidence and faith, without
courage, strength, and resolu-
