Farley told postmasters of the Carolinas here to day that after two years of operation he had no cause to regret the 40-hour week which he approved for postal employees. “President Roosevelt has proven the wisdom of offering greater oppor tunity to the man who works,” he said. “His policies are exemplified to a greater degree in the postal service than in any other public or private establishment.
