his task.

Does that mean he is not a
good wheelsman?"
HE is when he wants to be-

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Rising Costs Support
Hopes for Pay Raise
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

The continued rise in living costs plus series Of pay
private industry makes Federal employee leaders hopeful
the prospect of Government pay increase year.
William Doherty president Of the National Association of
Letter Carriers and chairman the AFCIO
ploy Councils committee he feels the chances
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-21

that Congress next year will vote
postal and classified employees
another raise.
"And I mean a substantial pay
boost-not the meager one that
was voted in 1885," declares Mr..
lDoherty.
I'VE will have to fight for a
pay raise, of course" Mr.,
Doherty said, lust as we have
always had to fight in the past,
These things don't come easy,
But I feel sure that we can ac-
complish our goal"
Employe leaders acknowledge
the pay raise prospects also hinge
on the political complexion Of the
next Congress and who occupies
the White House. But they de-
clare they have a sound case for
another Federal pay raise that
neither the Democrats nor. the
Republicans can ignore.
Classified employees were given
a rs per cent raise in 1855, and
postal workers received an 8.6
raise. Both classified and postal
workers contend the increases
were too small compared to IN
creases given industry workers
and that, since then, private in.
dustry employees have been given
additional pay raises.
POSTAL GAG RULE"-The
Post Office Department has re-
vised its gag rule" order. which
brought so many protests from
postal workers and members of
Congress. Postal employee lead
ers, however, are divided over
whether the department has
gone far enough in deleting the
Objectionable features.
The original order was at
tackled by postal employees and
members of Congress as denying
postal workers the right to ex-
press their views on matters
affecting them and of restraining
them from union activities. The
Department later revised the or
der and also emphasized that it
was not intended to infringe on
the Lloyd-LaFollette Act, which
gives Federal workers the right
to organize and the right to
petition Congress for increased
benefits and changes in their
working conditions.
William c. Doherty, president
of the National Association Of
Letter Carriers. said the changes
made by the Department remove
the Objectionable features so far
as his group is concerned.
The. order is now innocuouS
and can't hurt anyone" he de-
clared.
Paul Maggie, president-elect of
the National Postal Transport
Association, feels the revised or
der is an improvement. But
Mr.. Nagle says the wording is
still such as to possibly "intimi-
date" some postal workers from
engaging in legitimate union ac-
tivities.
j. Kline House, president Of
the National Federation Of Post
Office Clerks. also feels the re-
Ivised order is an improvement.
But Mr.. House says he and his
organization still are ''suspi-
cious" over the Departments in
tent.
IF they didn't mean to in
timidate us and hamper our ac-
tivities. why did they issue the
order in the first placer" Mr..
House asked.
