The April meeting of the board STAR CHRISTINE LEONARD Medford Rotary Club Post Office Clerks Said Opposing Bill Now in Congress Medford's post office clerks are "greatly concerned'' that a postal pay and job bill now pend ing in the House of Representa tives will "endanger their posi tions and salaries," according to Hamilton Ecker, secretary of Local 342. "H.R. 4644, now awaiting House action, poses many ser ious problems to all post office employees, but its reclassifica tion provisions will especially harm the clerks," Ecker said. He said the projected shakeup of postal positions is "especially in equitable and unfair" to the postal clerks. The reclassification scheme is primarily aimed at splitting the present clerk category and would place "tremendous pow ers" in the hands of post office department officials about sal ary grades for employees, ac cording to the clerk's union offi cial. The promotion features of the bill are also ' distressing," he de clared, "affording a bonanza of opportunities for use of postal and partisan politics. The bill is being advertised as providing 'equal pay for equal work' and 'rewarding merit' but our study of the measure reveals on!y, in equities, discriminations and large loopholes for . favoritism and politics," he added. "The local post office clerks," he said, "consider the measure a very bad bill and apoarently most members of the House of Representatives agree with us, for they defeated by 302 to 120 vote an attempt to ram it through the House.," .Post office clerks here con tinue to support S-l, a postal pay measure which was recently overwhelmingly approved by the Senate, according to Ecker. This measure provides for a 10 per cent wage increase and leaves out "destructive reclassi fication features." "If Congress believes that re classification is necessary, we suggest that it follow the proce dure outlined in the bill vetoed by the President last year. That is, establish a commission made up of Senators, Congress men, post office officials and em ployee representatives to study the problem," he said. of directors of the association will be at noon tomorrow at the YMCA.
