POSTAL WORKERS’ PAY IS NOT UP TO LINE OF DECENCY' V Bill Pending in Congress to Grant Living Wage to Faithful Employes, Some time ago The Indianapolis Times printed a sfr.es of stories showing that Indiana postal employes—derks. carriers, etc.—were entitled to more salary. Herewith is a general story written for this puper.—Editor's Note. By CHARLES P. STEWART XEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, March 22.—Your Indiana mail carrier is a mighty dependable chap. He’s so dependable you hardly realize you're receiving the service he renders day by day. There are so few, if any, exceptions, that it’s safe to set this down as a fact, anywhere, without any qualifications at all. The odds are many to one that you like your mail carrier. He’s polite and accommodating. You couldn’t stand it, considering how frequent your contacts with him ore. if he were grouchy, as, unfortunately, some public servants are. His Job Is Hard Your mail carrier’s work, physically, is hard. Toting that sack is no light stunt. Walking, walking, always walking may be all rfght when the weather's line, but in time of storm it's no joke; it may mean real suffering. Your mail carrier is a man of some ducatlon; he has to be. He's a mine ' information on the subject of Uncle m's mails. This means he must ve had experience. Be must be a diplomat and more or ■'! of a business man. Absolute honis vital, of course. "our mail man, in short, is equipped make more money at some other $1,755 Is Maximum ’’or the mail carrier, as for everyiy else, the cost of living has gone • . Realizing this. Congress raised pay in 1920 to a maximum qf SI,BOO ear, but out of this comes $45 for - rement, so that the net maximum >1.755. he present maximum was fixed on supposition that the cost of living i reached its peak. This hasn’t : >ved to be the case, and the Na- . nal Association of Letter Carriers •vs frankly that today its members Jmrd put to it to live. The mailman, it’s to be rememred. isn’t like an unskilled laborer, o whom $1,755 might" seem pretty tir. He has a certain amount of front" to maintain. He’s expected i look spruce and neat. The two ! iforms a year he must buy, which -d to cost S2O, now are $46 apiece. . it’s just a sample. Family Needs $2,052 ’he mail carrier has a famly, too. he Congressional Record published tires recently which, taking Detroit s- a representative city, fixed $2,062.36 the smallest sum on which a family if five could live decently in 1923. The mail carrier and his family, then, are $297.36 below the decency iine, even supposing the carrier receives the maximum and doesn’t lose a working hour out of the year, a practical Impossibility, of course. Accordingly Senator Edge of New Jersey and Representative Kelly of Pennsylvania have joint bills pending .n Congress to advance city carriers $2,000 on entering the service, to 2.2D0 after the second year and to ■2.400 after the third. Parcel Post Loses President Coolidge is, regretfully, against the increase. The carriers tire entitled to more, he says, but he adds that the increase, he fears, would impose on the Treasury an additional drain it can’t stand. Maybe so, replies Congressman Kelly, but consider that the postoffice is the only enterprise which hasn't increased its charges to meet increased operating costs. He estimates parcel post losses to the department at $205,206,944.96 annually, simply because no such Increase has been made. The National Association of Letter Carriers submits that patrons of the parcel post are making this saving at the carriers’ expense. It doesn't seem to them quite fair. BONDSMEN RELEASED Waldron Paetor Held in Jail; .Second Arson Trial April 21. r y r fetes Special SHELBYVILLE, Ind., March 22. ■ r he Rev. Ulysses S.

Entitled to It, Says New

By SEA Service CT73a SHINGTON. March 22. |\jyj It didn’t look much a few ■ TT 1 days ago as if the mall carriers, and other postal employes, stood a chance of an increase In pay- “ They’re more than entitled to it,” Postmaster General Harry New admitted, in effect, “but the postal department is losing money now, and all departments are’trying to cut down, so what can we do?” But the question didn't prove as easy to shelve as that. “Something must be done." insisted the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, unexpectedly taking a hand. Special Senate and House subcommittees are conducting a hearing in Washington relative to the joint bills which Senator Edge of New Jersey and Representative Kelly of Pennsylvania are urging, with a view to giving the carriers and their fellowworkers a living wage.

BEWILDERMENT IS TEAPOT RE-ACTION

Persons Interviewed on Street Have Few Fixed Opinions About Washington Investigation,

Bewilderment is the general reaction to the Teapot Dome investigation registered by persons interviewed by The Times on the street, in offices, at the Terminal and bus stations and in hotel lobbies. Few had fixed opinions as to whether Congress is uncovering facts of real importance to the public welfare. He is what citizens said: ALBERT STARK, 61. Lebanon, Farmer —A dirty mess and a disgrace all the way through. I think they ought to investigate the investigating committee while they are at it. LAWRENCE MOBKOVITZ, 35. Baltimore, Md., Shoe Salesman —The Senate investigation has bewildered more than revealed to the people what the scandal is all about. DAVID BURTON, 21, 1385 W. Twenty-Third St., Dental Laboratory Man —There’s too much other stuff to worry about without bringing in Teapot Dome. I don’t know anything about it. HENRY JORDAN. 36. Bridgeport, Ind., gardener—Well, if there is any one in the United States that knows less about the Teapot Dome scandal than the Senate it must be me. MISS MARY REID, stenographer, 2418 Ashland Ave. —Well, if people expressed their honest opinion of the Teapot Dome scandal it wouldn't be fit to print in a paper. TOM MURRAY, dental laboratory man, 624 Bankers Trust Bldg.—The Senate has made a joke out of the investigation and we're all disgusted with the whole thing A. J. HARLEY, 54. Ben Davis, carpenter—The Senate has brought in so much that has nothing to do with Teapot Dome that I really don’t know any more than they do about it. WILLIAM GREENOUGH, 46, farmer. New Augusta, More money la being spent for investigation titan

"The service,” pointed out the Chamber of Commerce, 'is in danger of suffering seriously, due to the wide disparity between the salaries paid to the postal employes and the wages paid in private industries.” It is, indeed, agree the higher officials of the department. The postal workers are a rarely loyal class. They concede that they mustn't use and they won’t use labor's one weapon—the strike —no matter how urgent their need. Even as individuals they are unwilling to quit, not only from genuine love of the service with which they are identified, but, and especially just now, when It’s admittedly working under difficulties from lack of adequate funds, because they feel it wouldn’t be fair to desert it in an emergency. However, postal employes do wear out, and when this happens it’s hard to find good men to fill vacancies—the pay's, too low.

was embezzled by ths Teapot robbers. DONALD GIBBONS, 38, Detroit, traveling salesman—The interests of the people seem to have ben forgotten In the Investigation and It now is a political battle. That’s the way It looks to me. JOHN GRAVES. 803 W. Eleventh St., waiter —There’s so much to It that I done lost out on the story a month ago; but I see here where Will Hays is messed up in it now. A. J. RAHMSTOCK, 20, Hotel Lincoin, ‘Clerk —Don’t know a thing about it. A man would have to be on the inside to know what it is all about. E. M. PIERCE, 35, Hotel Lincoln, Clerk —Well, I’ve seen so much and read so little that I don’t know or care a thing about it. WALTER HENDRICKSON, 22, 3663 N. Capitol Ave., Clerk—How do you expect us to know anything about Teapot Dome when Congress doesn’t seem to. PAUL CARLSTEDT, 21, 2338 N. Harding St., Electrician—Looks like somebody got a lot of the people’s money out of it, that’s all.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Big ‘Cats’ Know They’re About to Hit Road I Louisville and Ter ( re Haute Will See Ringling This Season,

By United Press BRIDGEPORT. Conn., March 22. — The “cats’’ —striped tigers, tawny lions and lean leopards of the Ringling Brothers and Bamum & Bailey family—know they are about to leave their close winter quarters and hit the open road, Old Bill Gottschalk says. In his capacity as caretaker at the big show's winter home. Bill and the cats have kept company for a score of years. They know, Bill says. Tails Get Attention So do the polar bears, swaying at their pendulous exercises; so do the trained horses, for is not the silken sheen of their four-foot tails the subject of special attention these days. But the camels, they don’t know nothiii*. A second sense tells most of the animals their winter sleep Is over, old Bill opines. A cage full of trained lions lolling j in the straw and offal of winter is j about as unemotional an exhibition of still life as can be imagined. Smell of Paint But when Bill threw open a barn door and let in the breath of spring from the lot. the pulse-quickening smells of pine and paint and a mild breeze that brought the merry ring of an anvil from the blacksmith's shop a.cross the way—then even the cats got it and a couple of them frolicked . with the stump of Bill’s stick and took a playful swipe at the corporal s nearest sleeve. Next Sunday the circus moves to New York for a month’s stand. After that It hits the road. This year they're going to play Louisville and Terre Haute, having missed these towns for several seasons. ASSESSMENT CUT LANDS IN COURT Injunction Asked in McCray Bank Appraisal Case, The reduction assessment of $95,00(1 to $3,000 upon the value of the Discount and Deposit State Bunk of Kentland was before the Newton Circuit Court today. Governor Me Cray was president of the bank. Board of school trustees filed suit to njoin John G. Davis, county auditor, from enforcing the State board's a) I praisal of $3,000 upon the defunct ; Kentland Bank. No action will be taken by the State j board to defend its action before the j Newton court, John J. Brown, ehair- ; man, said. “The action may not have been j legal, but It was done in interest of I equity and Justice,” Brown com- | mented. '’The board, in fact, stated in a letter to Davis that It doubted Its legal authority in the matter but that It was convinced of .the Justness.” . Davis, a brother-in-law of Governor McCray, protested against the $3,000 assessment.

EDUCATORS TOLD SCHOOL ACCOUNTS NEEDJMOVING 'Confidence of Public at Stake in Distribution of Tax Money,’ “Pennies of taxation used in maintenance of Indiana schools must be better accounted for if complete confidence is instilled in the public mind,” Leonard Job, assistant State superintendent of public instruction, today told the Indiana School Men’s Club n session at the Lincoln. An explanation was given of the cost accounting system to be installed in schools Aug. 1. “The public has been generous in its support of our public sohools," Job pointed out. “The school administration, however, has not been as generous in taking the public into his confidence. “The public should demand a complete accounting which shows definitely the functions served by expenditure of public money.” Proper distribution of taxation money for elementary and high schools was discussed. The meeting with luncheon at noon was attended by approximately sixty educators from the p t&te.
