Postoffice Clerks
Fear They Will Get
No Raise This Year
Experienced employea at the postoffice.
Who have been counting on the usual In
crease In salary this year, are now fear
ing that the expected "rale" vill not be
forthcoming, because of the 'allure of
the poetorfice appropriation bill In con
gress. When the new bill failed to paw. the
old bill was continued by resolution for
another year, and It of course makes no
provision for the usual Increases of sal
ary and addltionj to the service.
Of course, the younger employes will
get their "automatic" increasea. which
are governed by their length of service.
But the older employer, who have passed
the 11.100 !lmlt of automatic- Increases
and whoae further salary Inc reases de
pend on efficiency and are made only
when special funds are available, are this
year liable to be disappointed.
The situation haa been forcibly em
phasised to them by a published letter of
Congressman Moon, chairman of the
house postal committee. He wrote Post
master General Burleson that only the
strictest economy would keep poatal ex
penditure within laat year a allowance.
He aaJd that the curtailment would pre
vent any promotions being made.
First Asnistant I'ostniaater General
Roper haa since Indicated that Postmaster
Wharton. aJong with all other pontmaa
tera. will have to bring about aome econ
omlef, . because of a falling off In rev

fice by Deputy Henry Ostrom.i
Mr. Ostrom declared It was accidental.
"Both filings were made;hy Burk Tay
lor, superintendent of street lighting," he
declared. "I didn't notice until, after
ward that Hummel was thirteenth."
However, thli" may be. It is certain that
should Mayor Dahlman receive mora
j votes than Hummel, some of the latter'a
I friends are going to blame Oartrom.
Three city commissioners are now en
I rolled as official candidates for re-elec-
tlon. Commissioner Charles Wlthnell be
j Ing the other member of the trio. The
1 mayor declined to aay whether hla ac
tion had anything to do uith hla pros
