BUTTER, Medical Director 1 10c per Pound for EVERYBODY'S EXCHANGE More --- POSTAL SERVICE IS Low Wage Scale Causes Loss of Competent Clerks Is Statementof Officer. CAMPAIGN IS STARTED Federation of Clerks Institutes Pub licity Caniiaigii to Spread Facts Pertaining to Hie Needs of the Postal Sen-ire. "Save the Postal Service," is the slogan adopted by the National Ted eratlon of Post Office Clerks In Ita national publicity campaign to ac quaint rhe American people with facts concerning the threatened col lapse of the nation's ooatal facilities. According to the estimates of the national officers of the post office clerks' organization, the public is heavily penalized by being forced to use telegraph and special delivery . facilities for the transmission of mall matter that should go by the usual channels. The decline In postal effi ciency. It Is stated by Thos. F. Fla herty, secretary-treasurer of the na tional federation, is directly due to the large number of resignations of trained employes and the Inability of the department to recruit the work ing foice to its proper strength be causes of the low wages and general unattractlvencss of post office em ; ployment. "It takes years to train expert : mall distributors," said Mr. Flaherty, i "When any number of these postal j workers leave the postal service, as I they are now doing, it Is reflected in a slowing up of the malls and the t large number of mlBsent letters and j papers. Unless the present exodus I is stopped thn service efficiency for I many years to come will suffer. I Which means that the public will be j asked to pay for service and get in ! return only the present demoralized make-shift. "Much Is said of the government's liberality as an employer and the great number of superfluous clerks on its payroll. This does not apply to the postal service. The govern ment cannot secure clerks enough to properly man lis postal service at the prevailing rates of compensation. And rates of pay for substitute em ployes sixty cents an hour art, higher than the hourly rate of the experienced employes. Thus it fre quently happens that the skilled, veteran employes receive less com pensation than new entrants. No wonder service morale Is broken and the labor turnover Is large and ex peslve. "The government, through various agencies, frequently points out desir able industrial reforms for private employers to Institute and follow. But the government Itself makes no attempt to modernize its postal labor policies. We find In the postal ser vice all the evils that cause Indus trial unrest in private industry; namely, low wages, long hours for many groups, unsanitary working en vironment, Bpeed-up systems, and no recognized avenue of approach to those In authority. "The postal workers are protest ing In the only way open to them by petition to congress, which has the power to apply the remedies, and by quitting singly to accept more agreeable employment. Our desire is to get early action frojn congress so that the expensive labor turnover will he minimized and he services of skilled, trained men retained to In jure a restoration of service effi ciency. "It Is difficult to arouse public In terest in the postal labor problem. The average mail patron views the service as an automatic machine that functlones without human labor. Very few people realize that seventy five per cent of post office mall dis tribution la done at night by men who receive neither a wage or time differential for the admitted hard ships of night work. Moreover, these men must study distribution schemes at home, after office hours, without compensation. "hTe baso maximum pay for post office clerks and city carriers was fixed at $1200 in 1907. It has not been permanently changed but the congress has granted bonuses from time to time, averaging about thirty- MINED Potatoes Goods far your Money. O. J- Lindsey Ave per rent. Postal wages, it tun be aten. have lagged far behind ad vancing living costs. A commission appointed by the 65th cungresa Is now Inveillfattug this subject of pos tal wage with a view of a readjust ment. "The employes feel that, if the people knew all the facts concerning the serious service Impairment, the commission's report will be sus tained by public sentiment, rrovtded It meets the requirements, and its subsequent adoption assured before adjournment of congress." Auto Sales Room Attracts Attention The auto sales rooms of H. Mer ten is certainly a credit to the city of Roseburg, is the opinion of those who have Inspected the classy ex- titbit of motor cars of the local dealer. His place of business was a great source of attraction last even ing and large crowds were gathered In front of the establishment thru out the evening marveling at the beautiful arrangement of the win dows and the interior of the build lng. The lighting arrangement Is exceptionally fine and todny the sr.les rooms were thronged with lo cal and out of town people who were admiring this valuable addition to the city. Such enterprises as this savor of the metropolitan style and cannot help but be noticed by every one. o Fire at Welding Works This Morning The extreme high temperature de veloping from a large weldiug Job caused a fire at the Roseburg Weld ing and Brazing works building this morning. The fire was discovered about 3:30 o'clock this morning by Cecil Black, as he was going home after working late at his stole, lie broke Into the building and exting uished the fire as much as possible then went to the fire station and notified tho firemen. The fire de partment responded promptly and by hard work quelled the fire with the use of chemicals. A large gear wheel, which required a great deul of heat to mend, waa the cause of the blaze as It had been In the furn ace from early morning until after o'clock at night, and in spite of all precautions the Intense heat Ig nited the floor through two layers of brick and a heavy layer of as bestos. Mr. Calkins mated today that the wooden floor will be re moved and a furnace constructed en tirely of fireproof material capable of withstanding a very high temper ature will be Installed at once. This will eliminate all "future danger of fire from souch sources. o American Legion to Be Big Brothers By Associated Press TOPKKA. April 24.
