"Thirty per cent of my clerical force
has resigned within the past year/
said Postmaster Blodgett to a repre.
sentatlve of The Georgian Saturday
morning.
"What four or five years ago was
considered ample compensation for
services to the government 1b now not
sufficient to hold the men I employ.
This Is because of the great, unprece.
dented prosperity which Is evident
everywhere In the country.
"On account of this prosperity, the
salaries In the commercial walks of
life have steadily grown higher, until
now they top, by a considerable mar
gin, the pay of the government for
positions In the postoffice departments.
Salaries Going Up. .
'Not only this, but on account of
this great prosperity, a dollar has not
the value It used to have. There Is
more money now, and, consequently,
the units have smaller value. The cost
of everything has gone up; of fuel,
provisions, clothing and labor. A man
who could llvo comfortably on a salary
of 11,000 annually five years ago would
find considerable trouble living as welt
on $1,500 now.
"While the salaries In the business
world have been going up, with the In
creasing prosperity, those of tho post-
offlco department have remained prac-
tlcally the same. My men are sever
ing their connection with the postoffice
all the time, because they are offered
better pay In other walks.
“As a result, I find I am running a
regular training school hero at the
postofflce.”
The interview with Atlanta's post
master was brought on by his being
shown a dispatch to The Georgian to
the effect that First Assistant Post
master General Hitchcock would pre
sent to congress a recommendation for
a general Increase of salaries for post-
office clerks throughout the United
States.
The Increase asked for by Mr. Hitch
cock will affect 75 per cent of the
clerks In the grade below 3900, about
60 per cent of the clerks receiving $900
and $1,000, about 40 per cent of those
receiving from $1,000 to $1,200, nnd
about 30 per cent of those receiving
over $1,200.
Want Big Incrsass.
An appropriation of $25,700,000 will
be asked for the clerks of the first
-and second class postoffices. This
be an Increase of $2,300,000 over the
current year. The postofflce depart'
ment Is also considering ways and
means for the payment of a higher
compensation to letter carriers.
“Of course this will affect the At
lanta postofflce clerks,” stated Post
master Blodgett v
"The department realises the fact
that the Increase in salaries by ths
government has not kept pace with
the Increase In the commercial walks
of life. The department also realises
that If any men In the service should
receive higher compensations they ar«
the clerks. j
"These are tho most overworked and
underpaid men In the service of the
government, I verily believe. Where
men In most every other department
of the government service start In at
salaries of >800 and $900, the clerks
begin with a salary of 1600.
"Where the low says the mall car
riers shall not bo worked more than
eight hours a day, there Is no limit to
the amount of work nor the number
of hours In a work-day for the clerk.
TO OUTLINE PLAN
No Sympathy For Clerks.
"The mall carriers and the rallwny
mall clerks mingle with the people.
They have chance for chats. If they
have any grievances or are forced to
suffer any hardships, the people know
It, and the sympathy of all Is crystal
lised for them.
"If they ore underpaid or overwork
ed, public sympathy, more or less,
forces a change. The postal clerks, on
the other hand, are not seen at work.
They labor in confinement, and their
ills are known only to themselves and
their confreres.
"They don't even get sympathy,"

Captain Z. B. Moon called at the

In defense of hts statement before the

In trouble. But these are the facta.’
After a searching Investigation, the
special committee which has been In
vestigating the rumora of corruption
In the general council, especially on the
part of Councilman IV. L. Oldknow.
Friday afternoon rendered a decision
completely exonerating Mr. Oldknow
and other members of the council.
During the examination of the sixty -
seven witnesses no evidence whatever
was brought out which would reflect
upon the official act of any council
man. The committee which did the
probing, with the assistance of City
Attorney Mayson. was composed of Al
derman Harwell, chairman; Alderman
Sims and • Councilman Glass, Martin
and Patterson.
The counsel for Mr. Oldknow. T. M.
Rucker and Reuben Arnold, waived all
legal right*, excluding rumors, and
the committee went After nil testimony
which could throw any light whatever
on the darker aide of municipal poli
tics. The Investigation was free from
any tendency to "white-wash," but save
for unfounded—or at least unsubstan
tiated—rumors, the city attorney was
unable to unearth any sign of improper

Captain Moon swore that Mr. Bell
had told him on the night of July 4
that he (Bell) had given Mr. Oldknow
1100 to vote for Ewell Jett for the po
lice captaincy to succeed Moon, who
had been discharged after an Investiga
tion. Captain Moon said that possi
bly Special Officer J. W. White had

Mr. Bell swore that whnt Captain

lutely false;" that he had never told
Captain Moon such a thing: and that,
he had done nothing moro for Captain
Jett thnn to use his Influence with the
committee and police commission to get
him elected.
Mr. Bell said he did.have a vague
remembrance of having spoken to Cap-
tain Moon at the time of bribery ru
mors which he had heard, but that he
had placed no credence In them, and
had nbaolute faith In Mr. Oldknow's

They furthermore: practically agreed
to try aeparately the forty-odd alleged

This will result In stringing the cases

The reason for the summoning of the
grand Jurors and the state’s witnesses,
It Is said, Is that one of the grounds of
defense will'be that none of the wit
