Reed Seeks Inquiry
Into Postal Wages
Hy the Associated Press.

Tern1ing proposed increases of
to 20 per cent in the salaries of
postmasters fantastic" and un-
justified, Senator Reed, Republican,
of Kansas today called on Post
master General Walker to investi-
gate the payment of overtime wages
to postal workers during the last
year.
Senator Reed filed a minority re-
port attacking the postmasters' pay
bill, declaring it should be held up
and that "a thorough investigation
by the Postmaster General will find
negligence and incompetency to an
extent that will justify the removal
Of hundreds and perhaps thousands
of postmasters now holding Office"
The Kansan contended that
most postmasters had "outrageously
abused" the authority given them
by Congress in 1912 to pay over
time for Saturday work of postal
employees, and said the cost of this
overtime had jumped from SIC, 1885,
40 that year to $67 ,557 900 in fiscal
1914.
"The waste of public money is
indicated, on the reports available
at around s60,00o,o00 annually
Senator Reed declared.
In the light of this, he said, the
recommendation made last week BY
a joint Senate-House conference
committee that postmasters' sal
aries be raised was an astounding
proposal. to reward public officers
who have been negligent and dere'
nct in their duty, with an increase
in salary"
Senator Reed said the Post Office
Department estimated the proposed
increases would amount to $6,012,21(
a year.
Postmasters now receiving $1,1o(
to $4,000 would get 20 per cen
boost, those receiving between 81, 2,00(
and $4,000 would get Is per CEN
more; between $4,000 and $4,000
10 per cent, and between $4,000
and $1,000 per cent. No increase
would be provided for postmaster
receiving $4,000 a year or more.

Dishonest Legislation"
1.-THE United States Housing Act
Is a grossly dishonest piece of legis-
lation," he declared. "It shows un-
mistakable evidence of having been
written withthe view of deceiving
whom it could. The amount of
Communism that is involved in this
public housing scheme is measured
by the number of homes it places
in the ownership of the state.
There can be no escape from this
conclusion. This monstrous hous-
ing scheme is but a part of the
challenge of Communism. The
Housing Act, together with all pub
lie housing, should be abolished
forthwith"
