POSTAL EMPLOYES WAIST INCREASE IN I THEIR SALARIES Local postal employes are strong for the "Pay It With Violets' proposition which has hen advanced as one means of raising revenue for the Xnuch desired Increase In t-alarie.. Fostal employes all over the country are citing1 that they stuck to their Jobs durin? the war for patriotic reasons and that they are now entitled to an increase in salary -iightly proportional, at lent, to the ump In tho co. of llvinsr. Following Is the prorortion made by postal employes: "During; the war we all remember that we had to decorate all mail nol strictly local with a violet stamp. That meant an extra cent for ach letter. So one- complained. It i true tve wero a.t war, and no one would think of complaining, but now that we are practically at peace, what is the objection to reviving the little violet stamp and hurrying the extra cent into the coffers of the government for Increa.se in the wacs of postal and other federal employes? We am so used to beinjr throttled by our prrocer, and bruised by our butcher, and baked by our baker, and froze by our coal dealer, that an extra little tap by the government to the tune of one cent could no more hurt our hardened pocketbooks than a fly could hurt a steel ball. And ao we are for th1 violet stamf. In thij great commercial country, where million3 of letters are written dally, we believe the revenue that the violet stamp would collect would do something toward rrlievlrstr the tension in the fialay question of tho postal clerkf j and other fedtral employes. Of course it Is not warranted to do all but it would help some." FILE LIBEL SUIT AGAINST LOCAL PAPER Vendel Hajdu. Frank J. Herschoffer, Iy-Mii J. OersohnlTrr.
