emi PUCE Small Force Clerks VHI Have To Work Overtime Until '. First of July. ANOTHER CLERK NEEDED

PROIIE Oil FLOOR

BUSINESS THIS MONTH HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY HEAVN AT UNCLE SAM'S CONCERNSOLICIT BUSINES8.

- The necessity of an additional clerV at the postofflce has been demonstra? ed time and time- again. However never more conplusjvely than at th' present time when more than a thouc and ' dollars worth of postage is b fore the regular force to be cancelle by July 1. Postmaster Spekenhier 1l speaking of the condition this morning; stated that business had been so good, in fact so exceptionally good, that this fall he would, recommend to the department officials at Washington, that another clerk be put on the force.1 r The forces at the Marlon and Kokomo offices are larger than the clerical force of the local office, although the receipts for the past few years show that the local office is doing a larger business than either of thost offices. With this as a basis of argument. Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier can see no reason why the local office should not be accommodated with another clerk. Average Long Hours. ' The postal department tries to maintain an eight hour schedule for the clerks. This schedule is demanded in the carrier department. However in the local office, the clerks often have to work ten or more nours a day, and It is probable that the average for the year will be nine hours a day. Business baa been exceptionally good due to the push Postmaster Spekenhier and his force have put in the work. Instead of allowing business to come to the office it has been solicited. Recently the American Seeding Machine company of this city purchased more than $1,000 worth of supplies. Yesterday and today the plant's circulars and catalogue's were brought to the postofflce to be cancelled and sent out July 1. It is estimated that there is $1,000 worth of postage In this one batch of mall. With this as an addition to the usual business done by the office the postal receipts for June should bo $1,000 in excess of those for the corresponding month of ll-os..
