E DENVER, Sept. 4 The National As- Boclatlon of Supervisory Postoffice Employes, In sesuion here, was extend ed the postal admiulHtrutlon'8 "contin ued appreciation of your labors" par ticularly in tho railroad strike situation In a Labor day address today by VV. li ving Glover, third assistant postmas ter general. "in the trouble which has been exist ing recently between the railroads and certain of thoir employes," he said, "the postoffice department has been caused considerable annoyance, but with (be nble administration of the functions of so many of your super visory officials, little difficulty or delay has resulted in the handling of the mulls. Not only has the first class mall been promptly handled-but down to the lust parcel post package." Mr. Clover attributed the decrease in postal savings to Industrial conditions, he comparatively lower rate of Inter est, Investments In treasury savings and the "apathy of postmasters." On August 31, 1931," he said, we had on deposit in postal savings a trifle less than 3152,000,000, that amount be Ing held by more than 400,000 deixml tors. Today we have on deposit $137,- 000,000 with about 420,000 depositors a loss in the year of almost 315,000,000 and 60,000 depositors. What has caused this decrease? "The peak of postal savings deposits was reached In March, 1919, Just after the closo of tho war activities, when the deposits" passed tho 3176,000,000 murk. Since that time the system has suffered a gradual and persistent de crease. Although during 1910 and 1920 tho amounts deposited were steadily Increasing, the net result of our activ ities showed a loss due to the tremen dously heavy withdrawals which were being made."
