Copies of notices circulated throughout the Boston city post office were in the hands of postal authori- ties here, calling forth the emphatic | notice from Gov. Bartlett that “False alarms injure the service.” The typewritten notice, circulated on a large scale among postal clerks at Boston, blazed in sensational lan- guage the salary reduction scare. The notice, begins as follows: “The False Alarm. “To each clerk of the Boston postal district: Do you realize that postal employes are to be confronted with a serious situation this fall and win- ter? Would you like to accept a reduction in your salary? We have authentic information that the possi- hility of such a happening is not as remote as some employes seem to be- lieve.” Help of Women Urged. The “false alarm” closes with the following: “Show this letter to the woman members of vour family— your wives, mothers and sisters. Get them interested in your affairs. Po- tentially today the women are: as powerful as the men, as they have the vote.” “This alarm is a complete fabrica- tion,” declared Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett. “The truth is,’as clerks well know, that within the past two or three years this. ad- ministration has raised the salaries of post office clerks very substantially I.I!;\{hmoreover, 1 have never heard the slig] st intimation. from any source of- a -reduction ~of salaries. of postal clerks, aithough I have made diligent inquis S 14 29This circwldr is another straw up with absolutely no kernel man, | of truth in: it,- tending to frighten and- disrupt our organization, and harmful to the postal service and to-| the country.
