SURPLUS
SEEN BY FARLEY
Forecast Excludes Free
Mail and Subsidy,
However.

Despite the absorption Of approx
mately s36,00o,00o in increased costs
over last year, due to pay restoration
and assumption of custodial service
formerly performed by the Treasury
Department, the Post ONCE Depart
ment will finish the present fiscal year
with surplus so far as strictly postal
operations are concerned, Postmaster
General Farley said today.
1t will be the second successive
year that the department has been
out Of the red" excluding, Of course,
subsidy charges and the credit for
franked and other free mail, which
aggregate from 100000 to 500
100000, the air and ocean contracts
accounting for about $4,000, 900.
Even with these charges. Farley
said, the showing is gratifying, mas
much as the addition of SIC, 900 900
for the pay increase, and some S16,-
100000 for the custodial service, both
Of which properly are postal items,
sets up a balancing account toward
the subsidy and free mail expenditures,
which are obligations with no compen-
satory feature.
s35,oooy 900 Ahead.
The Postmaster General would
hazard no guess as to the probable
surplus, but said receipts for the first
10 months of the fiscal year were run
ming about $35, 900 900 ahead Of last
year, and at the present rate the
11-month advantage would be about
$40 900 900.
Increased business and economical
operation were responsible, he said,
adding that the consolidation of about
5000 rural routes had been a material
factor in the latter respect. Retire
ments also figure.
Correspondingly, however. Farley
added, promotions that had been held

in 1882 now were being made. and
the troublesome substitute situation
was being settled. Substitute postal
workers have felt the pinch severely.
due to the lag in promotions, the non
filing of vacancies, and the general
falling-off of work due to diminish
ing postal business.
Substitutes Shifted.
Under a new arrangement substi-
tutes in an Office where the business
volume Is low now are being trans
ferred to those points-within their
own States-where Their services can
be used, and the result is, Farley
amplified, that many are being put

AS an example, that $19-a-month
minimum wage does not mean q
thing nationally. 1t applies only to
comparatively few persons in one rural
zone area where very few work relief
projects are contemplated. There are
now on relief only $4,000 persons (out
of 10000 000) in the sections where
it would apply.
Real Money to Some.
The blunt fact is that, in some Of
those sections. $40 month is money.
Families. largely Negro. live mostly
out OF gardens, in their own huts
or cottages. Prof. Tugwell will take
care of some of them additionally in
his rural promotion scheme. Certain
congressman from those areas are
saying, off the record. that the new
scale will permit employed families
there to keep domestic help, which
has been enticed away by old relief
pawn ents.
The announcement also failed to
mention that nearly one-third OF
those to be put to work will not be
under the relief scale at all. Some
Of these will receive the prevailing
wage scale for the kind of work they
are doing in a particular community.
(Roughly 100000 men are in this
class)

Consequently, you need not expect

much as the official announcement
implied.
The unexplained reason why Mr..
Roosevelt spoke his bonus piece in
