POSTAL WORKERS TO RESUME FIGHT FOR WAGE BOOST Chairman Here Says Attempt Will Be Made to Pass Bill Over Veto. Postal employes throughout the county will again take up the fight for wage increases in the next Congress, according to statement today of Victor W. Martin, chairman of the local committee of postoffice employes. Martin declared postoffice employes would endeavor to have their original hill, vetoed by the President, at the last session, passed over his veto. This action will be taken, Martin said, despite the fact the Federal Postoffice Department would likely present a bill providing for an increase. but under those provided in the original bill. The general committee of the postoffice employes of Indianapolis will meet with representatives of the Railway Mail Association at a conference at the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night to further plans for the campaign. Still Bitter at Coolidge Resentment at the action of President Coolidge is still bitter in the minds of the postoffice employes, Martin said. Martin declared the employes stood for betterment of service, which, he said, can best be accomplished by betterment of service conditions. Salary increase was but a single item in this program, he stated. Martin declared Federal postoffice officials had refused to take a hand in this betterment program, for to do so would be admission that they had rendered inefficient service. The following reforms are advocated: Adequate seal® of pay to attract men and women of higher caliber and retain them when obtained. Real Civil Service Restoration of Civil service requirements for entrance to at least as high a plane as has obtained hitherto. Restoration of the confidence of the rank and file of their higher supervisory officials. That immediate expense of adjustments could be met by proper economies in the department. Rejection of present practice of obtaining revenue for the department on a weight basis and paving for transportation on a space basis. Obtaining a ruling annuling present practice of paying railroad companies for artificially determined unit for hauling surplus mails whether such units are required in full or not. Conduction of the parcel service as self-sustaining where at present it is done at a loss. Martin scored Postmaster General
