Postal Workers Get Good Pay Boost
Their First in Twenty Years
Employees in Lower Grades To Receive 2O Hike $40O
Year, Whichever is Less

POSTAL WORKERS GET GOOD -
Washington, D. C.-Postal workers
got their first basic pay increase since
1925 when President Truman signed
a law granting them a 20 percent
wage boost plus true time-and-a-half
for overtime.
The bulk of employees in the lower
grades will receive 20 percent hike
or $4O0 a year, whichever is less. For
regular employees in the so-called au-
tomato grades, the increase may not
be less than $500, even if that amounts
to more than 20 percent increase.
The Post Office Department said
that 100000 employees would share in
the increases, which are estimated to
aggregate about $50 million dollars a
year.

fast upon the heels of the new law

We must respond to the government

der to support the war effort. The
glorious record which the membership
of the American Federation of Labor
has made thus far as members of the
army of production must be main
tanned until decisive victory has been
won in the Pacific"
In explaining to Mr.. Green the rea-
sons making it necessary to refuse
permission for the convention, ODT
Director Johnson said:
"No one knows better than your or
ganization the tremendous effort in
volved in transporting our army to
Europe in four years. This army, with
it's equipment and manpower, is in all

possible time for the conquest of
Japan. 1t all hinges on transportation.
The military burden will be about
twice that ever experienced in this
war or at any other time.
"The cutback in war production of
40 percent leaves 60 percent to be
transported. That all goes to the Pa
cific. Heretofore, not more than 25
percent Of our production has ever
gone to the Pacific.
Cali Of this burden must move trans
continentally by seven single-track
lines. These transcontinental lines
have been at all times, with far less
traffic to move, loaded to what we be-
lieved to be their capacity. Theoreti-
cally, this transportation cannot be
performed. Still it shall be. All civil
ian activities will be subject and sec
ondary to the transportation of our
armed forces.
"The American Federation of Labor
has contributed to the successful and
miraculous transportation so far de-
livered the nation. You know the diff
ficulties, and, / am sure, will find a
way to transact your vital and neces-
sary business without holding con-
vention, which, as you will under

AFL, which represents large num-
Der of federal workers who are organ

The council announced that the pay
reforms were only the first step in the
improvements which it will seek to ac-
complish in the government service.
President William C. Doherty, Of the
National Association of Letter Car
riers, said:
"There are many other steps which
are needed to make a government job
attractive to the loyal, the ambitious,
the well-qualified and the energetic
person who seeks a career. The coun-
Gil recognized the urgency of paying
adequate salaries as it's prime pro-
gram. That out of the way, for the
present, the council next is turning it's

Washington, D. C.-The American
Federation of Labor has been denied
permission to hold it's sixty-fifth an
nual convention this year, AFL Presi-
dent William Green announced.
This will be the first year since 1881
that the AFL has missed convention.
Mr.. Green made it clear in letter to
the officers of affiliated unions that
the AFL, in order to help promote the
war effort, will not contest the gov
ernment's decision.
The official ban on any conventions
requiring the attendance of more than
fifty delegates was invoked by the
War Committee on Conventions Of the
Office of Defense Transportation in
turning down the AFL's application
for permission to hold it's regular an
nual meeting.
The AFL convention had been ached-
uled to open in Chicago next October
with an expected attendance Of about
600 delegates.
Since the AFL's annual conventions
: make the federation's laws, decide it's
policies and elect officers, many diff
cult problems will arise because of the
omission of the convention this year.
Mr.. Green said that the Executive
Council, which is empowered under
the AFL constitution to act between
conventions" will meet in Chicago
Aug 6 to consider program of new
procedure to meet the emergency sit
uation.
In his letter to national and inter-
national union officers, Mr.. Green
said:
"A report of such action as the
council may take, such recommends
tions as it may make and such advice
and information as it may desire to
transmit, will be communicated to you
following the adjournment Of the
meeting Of the Executive Council"
Commenting on the ODT's action
Mr.. Green said:
81 know that all officers and mem
bers of the American Federation OF
Labor unions will share feeling OF
disappointment over the refusal Of the
governments Defense Transportation
Office to permit the holding of the
American Federation Of Labor conven.
ton this year. We have maintained
an. unbroken record Of holding annual
conventions ever since the American
Federation Of Labor was formed.
However, we have no choice. The
