In taking this step the clerks are violating one of the regulations of the postoffice de- partment providing that such matters be taken up only with the head of the department, but the clerks have de- cided that the situation warrants a disregard of this rule. ‘With reference to the possibility. of & wholesale retirement from the serv- {ice, with its obvious effect on the pub- lic, the clerks say in the resolutions: “The clerks wish, before taking such radical action, to lay their grievances before the public, giving the commer- cial bodies a chance to take some steps either through congress or by direct action with President Taft to relieve the present unbearable condi- tions.” Heavier Mails; Fewer Clerke. The statement prepared by the as- sociation says that the department ex- pects the mails to increase in volume from 7 to 10 per cent during the next fiscal year, while to handle this in- creased amount of mail the postmas- ter general, in the pursuit of his plan for economy, is asking for 636 fewer men than at present. The clerks say that the force should be increased by 800 men instead of being cut down. One of the chief grievances is that when vacancies occur there is gen- erally a delay of from three to six months in filling them Jn the mean- time the other clerks are obliged to care for the extra work. The same is true, the men point out, in cases in which men are injured on duty or obliged to lay off for any other reason. A large number of specific instances of the hardships imposed on the men in this connection are given. In conclusion the resolutions . de- mand increased pay and better work- ing conditions, CALLS Member of House Attacks cock’s Policy. ‘Washington, Jan. 21.—That Post- IT FALSE ECONOMY Hitch- | master General Hitcheock’s ideas of economy in the railway mail service are crippling that branch of the pos- tal service and reducing the efficiency of the postoffice department was as- serted by Representative Willlam P. Borland (Dem., Mo.) . “Apparently the Hitchcock economy plan contemplates retrenchment through reduction of efficiency,” said Borland. “I know that the force of mail clerks is being reduced and in many sections like my own the magni- tude of the business transacted re- quires even more employes than those assigned to the work. It frequently happens on the long runs from Kansas City westward to Denver the mail is 80 heavy that mail clerks are unable to sort it and it must be taken on the mail train all the way to Kansas City before the overworked clerks can clear it up. “The operation of the ‘economy plan’ has resulted in forcing every mail clerk to work nights and ten hours a day with no time off for study of their distribution plans. “A condition of utter demoralization will ensue if false economy of this eort is persisted in.” WOULD BLACKLIST STRIKERS Hitchcock Does Not Believe Clerks Will Quit Work. ‘Washington, Jan. 21.—Postmaster General Hitchcock is not worried over the trouble thet has broken out on the railway mail route between Tracy, Minn., and Pierre, S. D. He doubts whether the clerks will go on strike, as reported. Hven it they de, Mr. Hitchcock says, the government will have no trouble in filling their places. The postmaster general said that there are thousands of applicants for appointment to the rallway mail serv ice and that the eligible roster l& a bulky one. Therefore, he believes that the men on the Tracy-Plerre route will think well over it before they make such a decision to go out on strike. If they took such a oourse it is the under- standing that they would be barred from again entering the public service. Municipal Dances Abandoned. Milwaukee, Jan. 21.—The municipal dances have been abandoned in Mil- waukee. The Municipal Play assocla- tion, consisting of a number of Social- ists, asked the management of the Auditorium, where the dances were held, to take over the management of the dances. The Auditorium people said that such a plan was not within their province. Consequently the dances were called off. manufacturers are trying market at a discount.
