THEIR WORK NEVER ENDS Worthy Class of Government Em ployes Overlooked In Enforce ment of Eight-Hour Law. Xot a Bed of Roses. OREGONTAXA NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 22. The railway postal clerks with headquarters in Washington, along with their brethren throughout the country, are waiting almost with bated breath for the decision of the Attorney General as to whether they are entitled to the benefit of the eight-hour law or not. At their recent convention in Chi cago they adopted a resolution declaring that they believed themselves entitled to an eight-hour day. and petitioning the department to allot their work to them on that basis.' The Post Office Depart ment referred tha matter to the depart ment of Justice, and it is on the de cision reached there that the whole mat ter depends. In stating to the postal clerks that he would refer the matter to the Attorney General for decision, the Postmaster Gen eral said that it would be impossible to allow a railway postal clerk to work eight hours and then rest sixteen, that the eight hours might end right in the middle of a run, and that it would entail such a vastly increased force and afford so little actual relief as to render it en tirely inexpedient. ' " Answer of the Clerks. To this the clerks answer that they want no such provision, but that they simply want to be placed on an equality with other Government employes. They say that they do not ask to be relieved at the end of an eight-hour shift, but that they simply want to get credit for the work they do over and above that- They point out that every other Government employe gets his Sundays and holidays off, but that they do not. All they ask is that they be required to work only an average of eight hours per day during each working day of -the year. They as sert that the Government requires every contractor for Government work to com ply with that principle, even down to the lowest laborer, and that it applies the principle to every other class of employes it has. and then they significantly ask why they alone are debarred from the benefits of the principle. The public knows but very little about the duties of the man who. while trains go bounding through the country at some 50 miles an hour, are aboard those trains working for dear life to get the mails assorted and prepared so that every man may get his letter at the earliest possible moment. For "strenuosity." as one of them styled it to the writer, it has every other vocation left at the post. In the making, a railway postal clerk has to pass a physical examination about as rigid as any physical examination ever required by the Government. If he is not a perfect specimen of health and develop ment, he stands about as much show of getting into the sen-ice as an icicle stands in a furnace. When he passes this exam ination he has yet other worlds to con quer . in the mental examination. This examination is about as rigid as any re quired in the Civil Service. If our would-be clerk steers safely through the tortuous channels of these two examinations he is then ready to enter the Government service as a sub stitute railway postal clerk, his pay being at tte rate of $S00 per year for the time actually served. The embryo clerk is given what is known as a "scheme." which is a list of the post offices of a given state, arranged by counties. He is also furnished with a schedule of all mail trains for the di vision in which he is employed and has to get a case, having some 300 pigeon holes in it. and some 3000 lit tle cards, on the one side of which he w-rites the names of the postoffices in his territory and on the other side the name of the county in which it is lo cated and the junction points through which it may be reached. He must get all these things down so pat that he can put every card in its proper pigeon hole by looking at the postoffice writ ten on its face, and without looking at the county or junction point, and so that he can put the cards in their proper place at the rate of about 40 a minute. If he stands this test he has passed his first examination. Then he has to repeat the operation until he has some 15.000 or 20.000 postoffices at his finger ends. If he puts letters in the wrong pigeou holes he geta fined and injures' his chance of promo tion. The -clerks on the night train between Washington and Greensboro. N. C, a typical run. have to work practically fifteen hours without intermission, even if the train is on time. The mere matter of keeping one's feet and accommodating himself to the motion of the train makes a pretty hard day's work, but the clerks have to handle tons of mail with an ac curacy and a speed that as little short of marvellous. When the clerk gets back to Washington, he may have two or three reports to make out and departmental letters to answer before he gets to bed. He works thus for six days, making three trips, and then he gets six days off. Dur ing these six days he must attend to his official correspondence, study and thor oughly familiarize himself with every change of schedule, every new post of fice established and every old one dis continued, every new rural route estab lished and be ready for an errorless run next time. Then he must memorize a new list of some 4000 post offices and pre pare for the next examination. And so when his six days off the road are up. he is likely to find that he has spent more than half of it preparing himself for new duties. His Life a Bad Risk. The life insurance companies character ize the mail clerk as an extra hazardous risk He more often is unfit for further service than not when he reaches the age of 50. The fatalities are many. The permanently disabled are more. And when at the age of 50 he is forced, be cause he has been worn out in the ser vice, to step down and out, he finds that the expense of maintaining two homes, one at each end of his run. has left him but little for the rainy day. What he asks for is' that he shall be given the same deductions for Sundays and holidays that other Government em ployes are given, and that beyond that he shall not be required to spend more than an average of eight hours a day in the actual duties cf his position.

Is lined with that soft, satiny material known as mucous membrane. Piles Is a disease of that membrane and the blood vessels that lie under it. Fissure 'and Fistula affect the same membrane and belong to the same family. Pyramid Pile Cure slipped into the bowel melt and spread themselves over the dis eased and painful surface and act just as a salve would if the trouble was on the outside of the body and could be easily seen andsgotten at. The Immediate relief they given even in the most agonizing cases will startle you, as it has already startled many thousands of "doubting Thomases'' be fore you. who have tried everything and sent for the Eample package, firmly con vinced that they would again be disap pointed. But they weren't. Pyramid Pile Cure don't disappoint. They cure. They are for sale at all druggists at 50 cents a box and are worth an even hundred to the person who needs them. ' This is to certify that I have used three 50c boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure and it has benefited me more than any other pile remedy I have ever used. I used the sample which you sent me. together with the three 50c boxes, and I am so much better, but not entirely cured, as my case is one of 23 years' standing. I did not expect to be cured all at once. I had almost lost all hope of ever getting any remedy that would help me until I tried Pyramid Pile Cure. I believe they will entirely cure me if I continue their use, when I intend doing so long as I can get the money to pay for them. I do not think any one ever suffered very much more than I have at times. Then I would be so nervous I could not get any ease in any position I could place myself. I cannot express my gratitude for the good your medicine has done me. I will continue to tell my friends of their merit. Tours, Emma Bodenhamer, Bedford, Ind."
