POSTOFFICE EMPLOYES IN RICHMOND ENJOY VOICE IN DECISIONS

"We shall be very glad to take up any suggestions the postmaster general may make," said C. R. Beck, Richmond postmaster, speaking of the recent decision of the postoffice department to allow postoffice employes a voice In their working conditions. "There would not be much actual change in conditions here," continued the postmaster. "Ever since I have been in office here, we have always gatherd in informal conferences whenever we thought there was something in office or working conditions that needed collective effort. These meetings or conferences have not been formal or at regular intervals, simply called when a need arose. We generally have something to eat, and let the meetings serve as social or gettogether occasions also, after business Is finished." ' Meetings Beneficial "We have found that such mutual consideration of our problems is very beneficial," said Mr. Beck, "and have always kept it up. As to a formal organization or a stated time for meetings, we do not have that, and I am doubtful if it can be effected without an additional appropriation, unless the smaller postoffices are made the local units. For instance, if Richmond postoffice representatives had to travel to Indianapolis to regional meet

ings every month, I doubt if very

many would be willing to accept the positions." About 70 postoffice employes of Richmond would be affected by the new plan, according to Mr. Beck, If It is put into effect. Postmaster General Hayes proposes, at the suggestion of Dr. Lee K. Frankel, newly appointed director of welfare work in the postoffice department, to establish local organizations in cities where the offices are large enough to justify it, such councils to be composed of a representative of the postmaster, or the postmaster himself, and representatives of the letter carriers, postal clerks and other employes. Representatives of the various branches of the service will also be elected to a national council which will meet monthly in Washington.
