"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," wiiiifpim ALLEGED MUTINEERS Washington, Oct. 27.—The president has respited the two negroes, Adams and Sawyer, until December 10.

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 conduct.

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 Integrity.
