GREEN PLEDGES AFL SUPPORT
TO CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES
DRIVE FOR PAY INCREASES

st. Louis, Mo. OLNS).-Address-
ing the 22nd convention of the Ma
tional Federation Of Post Office
Clerks here, President William Green
of the American Federation of Labor
pledged the full support of the fed
Grafton to the movement for increased
pay for civil service employees.
Green explained economic changes
are taking place owing to wartime
conditions and said that civil service
employees, as well as those in private
industry, are entitled to wage in
creases to meet the rising cost of liv-
ing.
"While all this has been going on, y
he continued, 81 have been thinking
about the civil service employees.
These increases in prices and cost of
living affect civil service employees
just the same as those in private in
dustry. They have to buy and live as
the others live. After thinking it all
over | have arrived at the definite
conclusion that the time has arrived
in fact it passed sometime ago
when this great humane government
Of ours must give to the civil service
employees an increase in income COM
parative at least to that received by
those in private industry.
"The A. f. Of l.. will not only lead
but it will stand with the representa-
tives of civil service employees and
your splendid organization in going
to Congress and to the nation, not
only asking but demanding that civil
service employees receive an increase
in pay. | will place behind that move
ment the full economic and political
strength of the five million members
Of the American Federation OF
Labor
William |. Horner, Legislative rep.
resentative of the post office clerks
reported to the convention that it was
the unanimous opinion of the execu
tive board that general salary in
crease he made the paramount issue
providing salary grades for post Office
clerks from $1,000 to $4,000.
Approximately 5000 visitors ant
delegates to the convention of the
clerks federation and it's nationa
women's auxiliary were present
breaking all previous attendance
records.
