THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Lobbyists for Postal Unions
Swarm Capitol Hill Like Bees

They even go farther than
that. Hatch Act or no, union
leaders frequently campaign on
the hustings for congressional
candidates and give them gen.
Ierous writeups in their widely
circulated magazines and news
papers. 1t should be noted that
about 9 per cent of the coun-
try's 100000 postal workers are
unionized. AS a cohesive, re-
sponsive group, they and their
families compromise a solid
bloc of votes that in many in
stances could decide a close
congressional election.
Then, too, there is the feel
ing of many members of Con-
gresS that postal employees are
economically downtrodden and
deserve an adequate pay raise.
The average $1,000 annual
postal salary isn't much these
days. particularly when it's
realized that most postal work.
ers are family men.
Another reason is the per-
sonality of postal employe lead
ers. They are likeable, generous
men, who are given to social
events and entertaining, in
which members of Congress
like to participate.
Pressure Forces Resignation
Many a member of the House
and Senate Civil Service Com
mittees over the years has re-
signed from the groups and
taken other committee assign
mentS because they couldn't
stomach the pressure by postal
employe unions. One memoir
able incident involved a group
tof legless postal workers from a
southern State who had lost
their limbs in World War II.
They were brought to Washing
ton by their postal employee
union to confront their SEN
ator who had opposed the size
of a postal pay raise the union
was advocating. The Senator
later resigned from the COM
mittee, saying that such pres
sure tactics were too much for
him.
The majority of the members
of the House and Civil Service
Committees stay on. They ap-
parently feel the rewards of
their service on the committee
Outweigh the occasional dis
comforts.
The postal employee union
leaders say they are merely do
ing their jobs. They say they
were elected to serve their mem
berShips in the most effective
way possible and secure for
them the highest possible sal
aries and fringe benefits. No
one can dispute that the postal
unions are doing exactly that.

Vice President johnson said
it was a matter of judgement

July ], and the second phase
to take effect on July /, 1868.
The pay raises for lower
salaried workers in the first
three pay levels are even higher
about 20 per cent.
Kennedy Opposition
The size of the pay raise is
strongly opposed by the Ken
nedy administration as unjust
flied and inflationary. The ad-
ministration is also opposed to
it on budgetary grounds.
Ironically, Federal classified
employees mainly have the pos
tai employee unions to thank for
the generous pay raises for clas-
sified workers the committee
apparently is ready to approve,
Practically all of President
Kennedy's Classification Act
pay reforms is set to be
adopted by the committee.
This would provide total raises
of rs per cent for those in the
first five grades to about Is per
cent for those in the top brack-
cts. Furthermore, the present
numerical ceiling on supergrade
jobs would be lifted, giving the
administration the green light
for adding as many of these
higher-paying jobs as it wants.
Why should the postal unions
get the major credit for the
classified employe pay raisees
and reforms-onsomething that
doesn't concern their member
ships?
The reason is that postal en-
ploye leaders feel that if Pres
ident Kennedy gets practically
all he wants on his Federal
pay reform proposal, he will
swallow the large increases for
postal workers proposed in the
bill. But this is by no means
certain. 1t could backfire if Mr..
Kennedy decided to veto the
bill and wait until next year.
AS one postal employe leader
put it: I'VE don't care if the
salaries of Federal classified
employees are raised to 100000
a year. All we are interested in
is getting a decent pay raise for
postal workers. And if we can
help the postal employe pay
raise cause by helping the Pres
ident to get his much sought
after Classification Act pay re-
forms, then we're going to
do it."
Why are the letter carriers
and some of the other postal
unions so powerful on Capitol
Hill?
p One reason is that the postal
unions contribute generously to
the campaign funds of men,
bers of Congress who are in a
position to help them.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-07-29
By JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

When it's pay-raise time on
Capitol Hill. employee lobbyists
swarm around the House Civil
Service Committee like bees
around honey.
The busiest, most productive
of all are the postal workers
union leaders, especially those
from the National Association
Of Letter Carriers.
Neither rain, nor heat, nor
gloom of night-nor closed
committee doors - stay these
lobbyists from the swift COM
pletion of their persuasive
rounds.
When the committee meets
in executive session the postal
workers champions are virtu-
ally part of the committee.
They cannot, of course, be
physically present in the COM
mittee room during executive
sessions. But they are Just as
close as the law allows.
The amendments offered in
committee are actually written
by the postal employe leaders,
who stand outside the commit
tees door. Members of the COM
mittee slip out, pick up the
amendments and then go back
into the meeting room and sub
NIT themeto the committee.
Some of the postal union
leaders have been given spe-
cial rooms the past few weeks
in the offices of friendly COM
mittee members. There they
draft pay legislation proposals
and map the strategy for get
ting them passed.
AS a press association re-
porter remarked the other day:
1--WE been covering Congress for
more than 20 years, and I've
never seen any group of lobby
lists have such influence with a
Congressional committee as this
one does"
A few of the committee mem
bers are appalled, at these
tactics. One of them is Chair
man Murray, who long has
been aroused at such goings-
on. But Mr.. Murray has long
since learned that it is futile
to try to do anything about it
most of the other members go
straight down the line for the
letter carriers and other postal
workers.
The result of the postal
unions effective lobbying car
be seen by the pending amend
ment before the House group
which apparently will approve
it this week.
It gives postal clerks and let.
ter carriers a total pay raise o.

QUORUM TROUBLE
PLAGUED SENATE
EVEN IN 1894

The Senate's troubles
yesterday in trying to get
and keep quorums were
minor in comparison to its
absentee problem back in
1874.
On November II that
year, Vice President John
Adams was requested by
the few Senators present
to write a letter to each
Of the absent Senators
stating that a fortnight has
elapsed" without a quorum.
The record does not show
whether the Vice Presi-
dent wrote as directed, but
he got results. A quorum
was on hand the next day,
with Senator Aaron Burr
OF New York the last man
to be counted.

FILIBUSTER
Quorum Call Checks
Senate for 5 Hours

50tn member, Senaor Young
Republican of North Dakota
did not appear until almost 8
pm.
The North Dakota Senator
wore a sweater and Stacks as
he hurried in, repeatedly from
a golf course.
Before Assistant Democratic
Leader Humphrey could inter-
vene, Mrs. Neuberger moved
that the Senate adjourn until
noon tomorrow. Senator Hum
phrey promptly moved to table
that motion and this was done
on a voice vote.
Mrs. Neuberger hen ques-
toned the vote on the grounds
that a quorum was not present
This neceSsitated another quo
rum call which consumed the
rest of the afternoon and early
evening.
Senate records showed that
in 1850 on a rent-control ex-
tension bill and in 1912 on a
''pernicious political activities"
bill. the Senate authorized the
Vice President to issue arrest
warrants to compel the attend
lnce of missing Senators.
Meanwhile, the quorum call
.'rustration yesterday and the
probability for a continued fill
buster during this week, blocked
final congressional action on
the Defense Department ap-
preparation bill and the Treas
.ury-Post Office money bill.
After waiting several hours In
the hope of delivering a 49,
page speech, Senator Gore re-
leased it to the press.
He especially criticized what
he called the bills dangers to
United States foreign policy.
The extent of ownership
and control by the United
States in the satellite COM
ponents of any international
system is as yet undetermined"
he said. The crux of the mat
ter is that, by this bill, we not
only will convey to a private
corporation whatever rights
the United States may ulti-
mately possess but we also
delegate to a private corpora
ton the authority to speak for
the United States in the nego-
tiations by which those rights
may be fixed by terms Of null
tilateral agreements concluded
with many nations.
IF a United States-sponsor-
ed satellite system IL to serve
our national interest, it must
be so designed and so operated
as to support our foreign pol
icy detectives and programs.
1t is simply unrealistic to sug-
gest that the Government can
safely turn over control of this
program to a private monop-
oily at this time" .

Senator Maurine Neuberger,
Democrat of Oregon, one of the
filibusterers, hoped up and
made a motion that when the
Senate quit it should adjourn
until noon on Monday. Her
motion was defeated, but that
little bit Of business was
enough to bring on another
quorum call. y
Keeping a quorum Of Sena-
tors is like trying to hold a
handful Of water. 1t disappears
as you watch it. The clerk
began to call the roll.

waiting hours began again.

spend a beautiful Saturday in

why President Kennedy told

would be affected by the sat-

And yet to send the sergeant
who fatty refuses to stick his
nose inside the chamber to be
counted would undoubtedly
cause a lowering in the already
almost empty reservoir Of good
will now in the Senate.
So the aides were dispatched
to the telephone again. About
1870 a rumor was abroad that
Senator Byrd, Democrat of Vir-
ginia would be plucked from his
apple orchard in a helicopter
and flown to the scene. The
hours passed.
1t was like a rainy day in
summer camp when all settle
down reluctantly to writing to
mother or reading books.
But it was not that restful.
Every time the doors opened,
all eyes turned hopefully in
their direction. But all they
admitted for several hours were
aides with word from senators
who could not possibly get away
from whatever they were doing.
At one point Majority Lead
er Mansfield, who on Friday
had begged the Senate to be
nice. wandered on the floor and
read a few gems from the Con-

to this uninviting prospect. al
though, had they come. they
would at least have made up

on the satellite bill could go
