CUST0D|AL WAGE
BILL IS PUSHED
CharWomen in Post Offices
Deserve Increase, Says
House Member.
BY WILL P. KENNEDY,

Early passage of the bill introduced
by the late Representative Connery,
Democrat. of Massachusetts, chair
man of the House Labor Committee,
to increase the salaries of charwomen
in the custodial force of the Post
Office Department, was urged today
before the House Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads by Representa-
tive Mccormack, Democrat, Of Mas
sachuSetts.
He emphasized that there are 2,259
such employees throughout the coun-
try. working five hours day, who
receive so cents per hour. equivalent
to an annual salary of s781 so, There
are IA head charWomen, he explained,
who are receiving SIS cents per hour
equivalent to an annual salary Of
1851.
These deserving women, practically
all OF whom are widows, working hard
and valiantly to keep their families
together, are entitled to an increase
in salary" he insisted. They are
truly the forgotten class"
Representative Mccormack recalled
that two years ago he succeeded in
having legislation passed which gave
them pay for holidays. which had been
denied President Roosevelt signed
that bill and Mr. Mccormack assured
the committee that the President is
ready to sign the pending bill. AL
ready. he pointed out. the House has
provided for an hourly increase in
their pay of cents, but the money
already appropriated cannot be used
for that purpose unless authorizing
legislation is passed.
IF Billie Connery, who introduced
this bill, were alive today he would
be here fighting for its passage, advo-
eating the cause of the deserving
women. His brother and secretary,
Larry Connery, has asked me to take
his place." said Mccormack. THE
passage of this legislation is not only
warranted but is a humanitarian act"

released for publication today.
But the writer's committee had
itself a violent convulsion over the
problem, finally voting Joseph
Michael into the sporting news
trophy by a margin Of two points
the totals being 10 for Medwick
and SO for Leo "Gabby" Hartnett,
Of the Chicago Cubs, in second
place. The boys must have been
thinking a little absently at the
time about the high cost Of vanilla
waters.
Two of the eight gave Medwick
firstS and two seconds, was well
him as second best. The remain
ing four placed him third and,
ironically enough, this won him
the title; for Hartnett, with three
firtS and two seconds, was well
ahead at this point and only the
equally illogical choice of the lat
ter for fourth and sixth places by
two members served to bring about
the right answer in the wrong
way.
HUBBELL GETS THREE
Meantime, there were three first
place votes for New York's Carl
Hubbell, Dick Bartell and Harry
Danning. Personally, I'm not quite
sure whether Danning was even
the most valuable catcher for the
New York Giants.
Meantime, too, all Medwick was
able to do was this:
Lead both major leagues in
hitting with an average of .374;
lead the National League in total
hits, 237; total runs, Ill, and total
bases, 405; also in runs batted in,
154, and in two-base hits, 81; also
tie Mel OFT, of the Giants, for the
league leadership in home runs
with 81.
