Washington, ID. c. ILNS).-SenatOr
James NJ Mead of New York has in
troduced bill Is. 1892 to adjust the
annual basic salaries of all regular
post office employees by cancelling the
present temporary wage set up and
substituting therefor permanent salary
schedules. The measure is supported
by the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks and other unions of
postal workers.
The increases provided in this bill
for these employees would not be in
addition to the pay or compensation
they are now receiving but would take
the place of the temporary legislation
enacted by Congress last year. This
bill would allow increases In the COM
pensatiOn of regular postal employees
of $4OO per year and that part-time
employees by comparable lesser
amounts.
Bill Held Strongly Justified
There is strong justification for this
legislation Senator Mead believes. 1t
was recognized by every member of
Congress at the time that we enacted

No. As meeting will be held on the

A meeting of the Health Committee
was arranged for May % to talk over
the possibility of raising our monthly
donation to the Hospital Fund. This
fund has eased the way for many OF
our members during unfortunate ILL

This is the third time the workers

Wheeling, w. Va. - 1T might have
been the unusual attractiveness of a
beautiful morning in May; it might

things, or a combination thereof. What
ever it was, the result was that sew

fine morning for walk and took
one. All of this happened Friday May

President Duffy would not take care
of our grievances until we returned to
work, so back we went. Vice President
Charles Jordan then arrived in our
fair city and took care of our diff
culties for us.

Set Fine Example For Mem
bers By Their Fdithful At
tendance At Meetings

Clarksburg, w. Va.-If the members
of Local Union No. 30 would be as
faithful in their attendance as our
local officers, great deal of their
trouble could he eliminated. When you
are content to stay away from your
union meeting and prefer to do your
complaining on the shop. you are not
only hurting your own cause, but are
creating additional hardships on our
officers who are doing all In their
power to further the interests of the
trade.
The shop committee made lengthy
report which was well received, and
regretted to state that the first conn
plant in years came from the glOst
shop. We are still waiting for our new
dressing room in the clayshop. The
committee was instructed to take this
matter up with the officials, as we'll as

ductiOnS have been made. Sometimes
we have to wait as long as three weeks
before receiving them.

President And Return
To Work

Local Union No. met in regular
session Friday evening, May 10 with
a good attendance The main topic of
discussion was the controversy be-
tween the Taylor, Smith 4 Taylor firm
and the glOst crew, arising out Of the
firms refusal to give the crew mem-
bers an honorable discharge after
working their two weeks notice as
specified In the agreement
The firm cOntended that under the
existing conditions, the mass resigna-
tiOn of the crew constituted an illegal
strike. There was some caustic com
ment and debate on some aspects of
the controversy which finally culmin-
ated in a special meeting being called
for Sunday afternoon.
The meeting was well attended and
President James M. Duffy and Vice
President Jordan of Sebring were
present. President Duffy went to great
length to explain why he and the
Executive Board must insist upon the
crew resuming work. Finally the crew
retired to another room to further
consider future action. This resulted In
their agreeing to return to work and
letting any grievances be handled
through the proper channels.

WILDCATS DRILL
FOR WILSON FRAY
BY WEDDELL HARRISS

The New Hanover Wildcats set
tied back to rigid practice ses-
sions yesterday in anticipation of
their forthcoming encounter with
the Wilson Coons here Friday
night
Yesterdays turnout found many
Of the local gridsters on the in
jared list. Only five members of
-.e starting eleven were able to
do heavy work. However, Coach
Rupert Bryan expects most Of
these to be in good shape for Fri
days contest, with the exception
of Jack Lowrimore, Cats captain
and wingback.
Nevertheless, Bryan has a gal
axy Of reserve linemen who show
ed up well in the Raleigh tilt to
choose from to fill the temporarily
vacated spots in the New Hanover
forward wall. Among the most cap
able are Jimmy Piner and Bob
Strickland, in the guard slots; and
Paul Campbell and Bobby Ash
worth in the tackle positions.
Piner is outstanding on defense
with his deadly tackles, whereas
Csmpbell has established quite a
reputation among local fans for
his CONSTANT blocking of punts,
having racked up an average of
approximately one blocked punt
per game.
The Coons have racked up an
extraordinarily impressive record
this year, as they are at present
tied with Rocky Mount for the
Eastern conference championship.
Neither team has suffered a con-
ference defeat. The Wilson lads
trounced the Fayetteville aggrega-
ton last week by the tidy score of
62-13.
Coach Bryan also announced
that the Junior varsity, under the
watchful eyes of Coaches Jake
Scott and Dan Jones, plans to
engage the strong New River elev-
en- Thursday night at Legion Stad-
ium. The kickoff is slated for 800.
The JayVees dropped their initial
encounter last week to the speedy
New Bern varsity, 26-6. However,
they are expected to- be in better
condition for their coming fracas.
Their lone tally in the New Bern
game came as a result of short
pass from Mullinix to Price.

Wake Forest Still Has To
Hurdle Clemson And
Duke Elevens
By BLOYS BRITT

WAKE FOREST, Oct. 3O.- R -
Douglas C. PeaheaO Walker, the
stolid, stout and studious coach of
the undefeated, united n south
ern conference pace-setting Wake
Forest college deacons, doesn't be-
Eeve in ghosts, but he's burning
plenty of the midnight oil Just the
same.
The reason His youthful civilian
gridders want one of those New
Years day bowl bids. That's all
good and well, but they've got two
major hurdles to clear before that
possibility can become reality.
Those hurdles are Clemson a n d
Duke.
The Deacons meet the Tigers
here in Groves stadium Saturday,
and Walker isn't any too sure his
Deacons' success may not end
then But even if this obstacle is
cleared, there's still Duke on the
following Saturday. A Deacon win
then would climax the most sue
cessful season a Wake Forest team
has had in years. After Duke the
Deacons meet South Carolina.
However, the Deacon mentor
doesn't believe his boys are going
to be pushed around by either of
these teams, win, lose or draw.
He's got a few figures to back up
that belief.
For one thing, his hipper-dipper
backfield, which can roll toward
pay dirt on the ground or in the
air with equal ease, has pushed
forward against six foes for to-
tai of 1887 yards and 146 points.
Of the total yardage, 1887 were
gained rushing.
Defensively, the team looks even
better. In the same six games, the
l, $780, pound line and alert second
airy has limited the opposition to
net 232 yards rushing and 297
passing and 81 points.
The potential power shown in
early season games, when the
backfield lacked scoring punch, is
developing fast and pay dirt trips
have become increas ingly more
frequent. A lad named Tom Fet-
ger, 16O-pound six-footer fresh
out of Reidsville high; and couple
of plunging fullbacks, Rock Brink
ley and Buck Mabry, have been
the principal factors.
Fetzer, a third string tailback
triple threat, has spear headed
touchdown drives in the last three
Deacon games with long, beauti-
fully executed running n d pass
plays. Walker says that with a
little more polish Fetzer will be
able to take his place with for
mer Deacon starts Tony Gallovich,
Red Mayberry and the Perry boys.
