COLORED MAIL WORKERS EARN $40,000,000 A YEAR Roy Wilhoit Reveals Vast Earn ing of 31,000 Member of Race In Postal Service Chicago, (ANP)— I advise Ne gro postal workers and friends to hope for and work toward leg iSLation gjiving government em ployes a 30 day furlough without pay, rather than a ten per cent cut in wages,” Congressman Os car DePriest said, in a speech de livered at Poro college before members of the National Postal Alliance and their guests. The occasion was a banquet given by the Alliance in honor of the delegates and visitors to the Republican National Convention, as well as to Roy O. Wilhoit, of St. Louis, national president of the organization. Tells of Importance Roy 0. Wilhoit, national presi dent of the Postal Alliance, in an interesting and effective address told of the importance in the eco nomic life of the race, of Negroes who worked in the feder*'l service. “There are," Mr. Wilhoit said, “31,00 Negro employes in the pos tal service, among the Americans so employed. Though they rep re sent but 32 per cent of the 90,000 Negroes in governmental service, they draw nearly 55 per cent of the pay. There are 1400 of these in railway mail service. 26.000 are employed in postoffices and al lied work. In Chicago alone there are 3500 postal workers out of the 14.000 employed here. These 31.000 draw ($40,000,000) forty million doIPrs, per year in salar ies. more than any other class of racial workers in the country. “ Because of the problems which constantly arise affecting colored workers in the postal service and the prejudiced attitude of a few of the supervisory officials, we feel the need of another officer to . serve as a mediator, with hcad->‘ quarters in the denartment at Washington, Kmory A. Bryant, assistant chief clerk is now acting for the railway mail service. But we need a man whose whole duty shall he to act as a contact m*n for the post office workers, so as to assure them justice. We have recommended dose H. Sherwood ot St. Paul for such an appoint-! inent in the office of the Asst. Postmaster General.” Prominent Persons Hear Roseoe Conklin Simmons, famed orator, another of the guests, praised the purposes and ideals of ihe Alliance and commended resident \V ilhoit for his constant projection of the or ganization's activities.

(The Literary Service Bureau) Maxie Miller: Here is my case. I am 16 years old and I’ve been raised by my auntie. She is good to me but her husband makes love to me and wants me to run away and marry him. He always wants to pet me. He slips in my room at night. I am afraid to tell auntie anything ’cause she might blame me. Now w7hat must I do? Sometimes I think I’ll run away from home.—Ella B. Ella B. Tell this man you do not want anything to do with him, and that you will tell your aunt if he continues to molest you. If he will not hear you. then tell her all, and perhaps she will arrange for you to live else where. If you do not clear your self. sometime this aunt will get wise and she will blame you, and you’ll have to find a new hiding place. Of course, you never con sider this wicked proposition of taking your auntie’s husband. —Maxie Miller.
