Such was the measure of Mr.
Hithcock's economy in matters
dertaining to his own personal
comfort. Concerning the employ
ees the railroad mail clerks for
instance ie followed entirely
different lines of procedure.
Mr. Hitchcock: figured it out
one day that by making three
men do the work of four, he
could make a record for economy
in the railway mail division. The
already overworked railway mail
clerks were driven beyond the
limit of endurance. Conditions
in the west, excially in the enth
division,, became intollerable.
Open rebellion broke uut on the
Pierre-Tracy line, the men refus
ing to do the extra work impos
ed them. Ten men were suspend
ed Then -five of them were rein
stated, but refused to return
to work without their as
sociates. This aroused the whele
northwest. The clerks met in
mass meeting at St. Paul, Minn.
They are now forcing the post
master general to relent in his
plan to econmize by overworking
the railway mail boys.
Strange working of the Hitch
cock economy bump also caused
the Postmaster General to pay
the full year salary of $5,000' to
H. W., Lawshe,', third assistant
postmaster general, while the
Armslrcng-Bas?.

Master C. P. Ryland, Jr., pro
