300,000. Show me any outside business that has a record like that.” The “chief,” in the service 42 years, started as a railway postal clerk. He terms Postmaster James A. Farley's administration as “wise” and “the best we've ever had.” Meantime, the convention worked on resolutions to improve the welfare of postal clerks. One supports the pending longevity bill., It provides for salary increases of $100 a year after 10 years of service and other $100 increases each five years up until 30 years of service.

Widow Pension Sought

Another resolution provides for pensions for postal clerks’ widows. The sum recommended is from 50 to 75 per cent of the amount of pension which a clerk draws on retirement, $100 a month.

Ranking of substitutes as ‘“regulars” with permanent employment after three years of service is urged in another proposal prepared by the committee of which O. D. Aston, Dallas, is chairman. The resolution would affect about 25,000 substitutes, including about 80 in Indianapolis. The thing most lacking at the postoffice clerks’ convention is formality. They all refer to Mr. Parley as “Jim” or “Mister” but that Texas delegation has everyone referring to everyone else as “T. M.”, “O. D.” and $0 on.

His Aids to Shy: From ‘Pitfalls of Laxity.’

WPA administration in Indiana

is to continue after the néxt session of Congress, State Administrator John K. Jennings said today. The administrators’ statement was made after a two-day conference with district and division WPA heads at the Claypool Hotel. ‘Must Be Some Cause’

Asserting that the administration of WPA in Indiana in the past has not “measured up,” Mr. Jennings said: or “There must be some foundation for these complaints which have had a great effect on Congress. We| : are doing everything to improve the| : quality and efficiency of our administration. We are starting right now—today.” x ‘Mr. Jennings said he had warned his subordinates to/avoid falling into the “pitfalls of lax administration.” This laxity, he said, has been responsible, more than any other single factor, for complaints against WPA activities in the past three years.
