There Is n decided movement on the part of
the postofllco employees throughout the coun
try to mnUo a big move on the coming session
of 'congress for nn increase of pay , the onnct-
rnont of n proper eight-hour law and n close
observance of the "IIfteen days annual
leave. " At the last , session of congress n
convention of delegates from many of the
loading first-class postofllcos was hold In
Waihlngton nnd the session started out
under what was presumed to bo favorable
official auspices. The convention was in
formed that Postmaster General Wnniin-
maker fiwored the objects In view and nn Im
pression was formed that whatever projects
were duly authorized by tbo convention
would bo sanctioned by authority.
The cheerfulness of the delegates was kept
up till within n dayortwoof the adjournment
of the convention , whnn Instead of the post
master general addressing the body direct ,
as It was honed ho would do , a subordinate
presented himself ns a substitute. His re
marks were anything but Joyful to the mem
bers. As the Now York delegates hod then
shown n two-faced front the body adjourned
in a frnmo of mind dllforing widely from
that at the oncnlng. Slnco this convention a
dliiot correspondence has taken place among
tlio many associated organizations of th'j
postodlccs nnd a schema has been arrived at
which Is expected to bring bolter results
than promises. The matter referred to is
nothing else than the employment of lobby
ists to worx through the coming congress
such legislation as will bunoflt tbo em
ployes , It is purposed to ralso $10,000
from the employes who are already almost
united on the purpose , and with tbo money
dlno and wine the mouthers nnd otherwise
work upon them in the interest of the hard
working and slave class employes of this
branch of the government.
The pay of the rlorks of the postofllco aver-
anos about 531 * per month nnd is ' . ' 0 per cent
less than the messengers nnd laborers em
ployed In the vnriousdopartments of the gov
ernment receive. The responsibilities of the
postnl clerks are many nnd onerous , nnd this
class is required to work long hours , on holi
days nnd Sundays nnd the loavothat they got
annually is made up to the government
by oxtin labor without compensation during
the year. The clerks find that they are
without friends and they nro Inclined to
believe that their pocketbooks can inah
bettor friends and secure bettor results than
other moans have disappointed them In get
ting. It Is announced that nt least from
10,000 to Ifi.OOO employes uro interested in it
and it can bo soon thnt a Inrcro sum of money
can bo obtained from among the number and
no doubt secure many things sought for.
