Wayne Postal Employes, Retired, Cannot Benefit by Hays Ruling

PALI,ADIttM SEWS BTtttE AU ! WASHINGTON, April 28. Postmaster General Hays has issued an order temporarily suspending an order issued by former Postmaster General Burleson, which required all postal employes . to go on the retired list when they reached the age limits specified in the retirement law passed by congress about a year ago. "Under the law the retirement age for all postal employes not in the railway mail service is 65. The age limit is 62 for railway mail employes. The Burleson order, made retirement compulsory at the age limits even though the employes effected were mentally and physically fit to continue in active service.

Retirement pay is considerably less than active service pay and as a result of the Burleson order . considerable hardship has resulted from its enforcement. Only employes who have reached retirement ages since the fif teenth of this month are effected by ihe Bays order. The new postmaster general has decided not to fix an arbitrary retirement regulation until a committee he has appointed has had the opportunity of thoroughly investigating the question. It is expected that Mr. Hays will eventually issue an order permitting employes who have leached the retirement ages to continue In active service as long as they are physically

and mentally able to perform their duties in an acceptable manner.

Cannot Benefit. Inquiries made in behalf of several veteran postal employes residing In Wayne and other counties in the sixth Indiana congressional district who were retired under the Burleson order have elicited the information that the Hays order, which only tentatively suspends intorcement ot the ruling of the former postal chief, is not retroactive. The department also calls at

tention to the ruling of the civil service commission that government employes who have been placed upon the retired list cannot be reinstated to active doty. Presumably, under the present Law, only an executive order by President Hardiing. setting aside the ruling; of the-civil service commission .would open the door for postal employes to return ' to active duty who weie retired, prior to April 15. The Burleson order came at a time when the postal service had an insuf

ficient number of employes. Its enforcement brought about another re

duction, with the result that eventually a number of men who bad been

retired were recalled to active service. Then came the order of the civil service , commission that government employes who had once been retired,

could not be restored to the active list

Naturally the many postal employes who had been retired, then restored

to active duty before the civil service

commission had issued Hs rulin

sing situation. s Called to Refund.

rne ruling barred tnem from re

ceiving full pay for the time they had

been engaged in active work, following their recall from retirement. But. in most instances these men had been receiving full f pay during that period and they were called upon to refund te the government the difference between their monthly retirement pen-

make an immediate refund, as in the case of a rural mail carrier in Union county, Indiana, were notified that deductions would be made from their retirement pensions each, month until

the amount due- the government had

been repaid in full.

A number of special acts have been introduced in congress authorizing repayment by the government the full amount of the refunds made by the victims of 'What is generally called the Burleson blunder. " Representative Lehlbach, chairman

of the committee on reform in the civil service, has introduced a bill modifying certain provisions of the federal retirement law, and it contains a section which would permit, under certain conditions, the. restoration to active duty of employes who have been placed upon the retirement list by reason of age. A party of Indiana tourists who vis ited the United States bureau of engraving, the largest money factory la the world, this week, were assured by one of the officials that the big plant had not been effected in the least by the recent industrial depression. "We , have been operating right along with a full force of 7.000 employes and a daily output of $20,000,000 in greenbacks and several million

dollars of postage stamps. ' In good times or bad times, there is always a large demand for our products," remarked the official as the tourists gazed spellbound at a young woman skillfully counting a package of 10,000 banknotes.
