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-

appointed by the 65th cungresa Is
now Inveillfattug this subject of pos

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.
