FLAY FARLEY FOR PAY, FORCE CUTS Concerning tht recent orders of James A. Farley, poat master general, Gilbert 8. Hyatt, legislative represen tative of the National Federation of ?oetoff Ice Clerks, and William M. Col lins, president of Vie Railway Mall .issoclatlon have Issued the following: "Is Postmaster General James A. I'arley sabotaging the president's re covery program? "The president on March 6th called upon industry and business to short en hours and, at the same time, to Increase wages. Th? president said: " 'Reduction in hours coupled with decrease In weekly wages will do no ood at all, for it amounts only to a forced contribution, to unemploy ment by the clans least able to bear it.' "On the same day on wftlch the president delivered his ringing 'new deal' speech, the postmaster general issued an order contradicting the president's policies In every particu lar. "The postmaster general's order of that day Inflicted payless furloughs on regular employees, withheld their vacations, abrogated long cherished rights and privileges such as seniority and at the same time threw 26,000 postal substitutes on the breadline. For the past tfrree years the earnings of these substitutes have been utter ly Inadequate even for the bare ne cessities of life. Now, they will earn nothing for the next four months This order was not because of ab sence of woik fnr those employes, It was to save money. And the public la to pay for it In curtailed service. "The next day the postmaster gen eral went further In this wage cut ting program by appearing before the bouse post office committee advo cating the passage of a bill Increas ing the work and reducing the In come of rural delivery carriers. He bluntly told the committee that It was a choice between a cut In wages or the dismissal of some 9,000 car riers. "The postmaster general robbed himself of even the excuse advanced by private Industrialists that the work was not there. He utated that the drastlo slashing and disorganiza tions visited upon the employes was for the purpose of saving money. He announced that service to the public will be curtailed to make them pos sible. "Mr. Farley's last annual report admits that practically all of the Ecr.ie 9100,000,000 saved during the last fiscal year was at the expense of the employes. He now proposes that the employes ahall have their scanty wages, already cut about 26 per cent, still further reduced and that the publlo Shall pay through the nose In a further curtailment of al ready poor service."

Ry Estella P organ, Director, Home Service, the California Ore- -go n rower Company CItKOLE DISHES Recently a rare old collection of recipes was given to me and, among them, Is the most Interesting little booklet from the celebrated New Orleans eating place. "Begue's." There Is, an Introduc tion, with testi monials and verses signed by such well known persons, Eugene Field, Julia Mar lowe, 'Eugene Cowles, Margaret Hunt Brisbane, H. M. Mayo, E, F. Carroll, and so on, down 'a long list of names promi nent in various parts of the world In the "good old days." Something about the delightful hospitality and delicious foods seems to have moved tnem au to poetic expression and. acordlng to them, the foods served at Begue's wore like none other In the - wide, wide world. Perhaps It I was "the climate." but, again, It may Estelle Dorgan be that they realty were unique. In any case, I am giving you a number of them In the following recipes, which are certified to be genuine.
