Shameful Revelations As To Their Meagre Pay is Made Public by Postal Carrier. Hammond letter carrier are wondo-r-,1. g what they are going to do for -'o-.Ue. Postmen must wear uniforms. Clothing prices hav e advanced trernencl'io'isiy while postal salaries have not. The result is that one of the leading Manufacturers of uniforms of the coun-T-y has discontinued making clothing 1-v postal employes because they cannot 'turn them out at a price within tho l'aeh of the men. Tjook at this." said an employe of rthe Hammond post i fllcc, as he displayed ,a leiter from the Henderson-Ames Co. The body of the letter was as follows: I "We are in receipt of your request t recent date, "We regret that we arc viable to o-imr!y therewith as we have ,i continued the manufacture of postnen's uniforms, at least temrorarily. The reason for this is that the price , :i cloths, at th;s time, used in making X-ost men's uniforrrs are so very high. J- is impossible for us to make up postmen s uniforms and sell them at anyhere near a figure that a postman ould car to pay." "The rmy of the postal works is a sad mmntary upon Uncle Sam as an em-j-'oyer," said the letter carrier sadly. ' While railroad men, coal miners, and r:htr trades are b"ing investigated by jtho government, and by ils sanction ir? sing their pay, the wages of the post crTlcs employes remajn far below the -andard of a liing wage. Congress has :ve,n a bonus to the employes as a tvakcshift for a merited increase of pay. "If a bonus Is a raise of pay. why I-as it been withheld, and why given under the guise of a bonus? If it is an ct of charity, are the employes so underpaid they must be objects of pity fend public benefactions? "A curious paradox exists in the post rfflce. An employe, as a substitute or s an auxiliary helper, receives 60 cents j:.cr hour. Most of these have never taken the entrance examination. Their knowledge of the workings of the postal service is almost nothing. They depend .pon what the regular employes tell them to do. Tet the regular employes. eme -with twenty or mone years of experience, some who have studied schemes nd prepared for examinations on their own time, are earning 55 to 53 cents an Jiour. Tet these patient workers have waited for congress to act and to take tome recognizance of their needs." The discouraged employe ended his jvassionate little speech Mith the following pertinent questions: "Why not have the wage commission bill report? Or Is congress so indifferent just because the postal employes are forbidden to Indulge In politics, or do our representatives rare nothing for a demoralized postal service ?"

March 2a ( bv wireless to New- York). labor's arrnistny in the battle for a dictatorship by the proletariat may endure for six or eight weeks, according to present plans, it was harried from a prominent lab r leader loua ;'. (The armistice mentioned evidently r efers to the lull in the si niggle at Berlin and not the reported cessation of hostilities in the Ruhr district between Rods, and government troops. J "There is a possibility that a Russian prmy will appear upon the Lithuanian frontier in the meantime to co-operate with the German workers' army, if impatient workers do not. precipitate a crisis before the workers' plans are fully matured." said this labor leader. "The a nut istir.e will give us time to prepare for a renewal of the struggle. We have three powerful weapons; First, the general strike; second, the workmen's army, and, third, Russian money. (This was the first rrifla'inn that Russian money is being usofi m (Jermany to further the cause of counter-revolution against the Ebert government.) "The strikers are without funds and have very little food. They are worn out and need an armistice to gather their strength and to stock up their lard-rs. We shall use every effort through propaganda to win over those now supporting the Kbert government. "Measures were taken to insure the completeness o the next general strike. In the meantime the Russian money will be distributed where it will do the most fc-ood." The labor leader explained that his fellow chiefs were careful about using the terms "Reds" and "Bolshevism" in describing thu struggle which now is in progress because they feared the sympaihies of the more conservative irade unionists might be alienated.
