DEFENDS POSTAL CLERKS IN BETTERMENT DEMAND Thomas F. Flaherty Replies to Post- master General’s Caution Against “Unwarranted” Legislation. Replying to a statement he ascribed to Postmaster General Brown in & New York speech that Congress should not yield to “the pressure for unwarranted special legislation in favor of unorgan- ized postal workers,” Thomas F. herty, secretary-treasurer of the Na- tional Federation of Post Office Clerks, in & statement yesterday declared that postal employes were within their rights in_seeking employment betterment. He said every major improvement in employment conditions in the postal service had come to the employes through tgeir own collective efforts and that they were forced to do so because of the departmental policy of endeavor- ing to reduce operating costs at the ex- pense of the employes. Flaherty denied that the 48-hour bill for postal employes, if enacted into law, would be construed as a mandate to close all post offices Saturday after- noons. “It contains a provision grant- ing employes time off at a subsequent period for work performed Saturday afternoons,” he sald. ‘“Therefore, no curtailment of postal service on Satur- day afternoons is necessary in those communities where the people want it.” 16 NEW' PARALYSIS.
