The Anal work of the seventeenth an
nual convention of the Railway Mail
Clerks’ association was commenced on
Thursday morning and the Indications
are that most of the business will be
concluded in the afternoon session.
The convention was not called to or
der until about 11 o'clock ub most of the
morning was occupied by an executive
session of one of the committees. The
reports of these committees were being
considered when the convention took a
recess for lunch.
The report of the formal resolutions
committee, In which the people of At
lanta, the clerks of the fourth division,
the entertulnment committee, Hon.
Murphy Candler and Mayor Maddox
were heartily thanked, was unanimously
adopted. The press of Atlanta was also
thanked for the full and accurate re
ports of the convention.
Considerable discussion was occa
sioned by the report of the committee
on business resolutions, but the report
was adopted practically as sbmltted.
What Mail Clerks Want.
In this report It was recommended to
the postofflee department the following
measures:
First, actual expenses while on duty
away from Initial terminal.
Second,"higher classification for the
apartment car lines.
Third, reclassification of the transfer
service.
Fourth, the elimination of deferred
promotion.
It was pointed out that the payment
of expenses by the government was
considered the most Important feature.
In addition to these recommendations
the report urged upon the officials of
t);• association and the officers of the
vostofflee department the following: A
setter system of handling registered
mail; a more thorough Inspection of
railway postal cars by the Interstate
commerce commission; a more Just and
equitable method of discipline; an early
ruling by the entire interstate com
merce commission regarding the anti
pass provisions of the interstate com
merce law so far as l| affects railway
postal clerks: the extension of sick
leave to 60 days with the provision that
30 days of this may be used for personal
reasons without expense to the depart
ment, and sick leave without pay for
ten months additional with all rights
retained.
For Veteran .Clerks.
The report also pointed out the nc
cesalty for some provision for the re
tlrement of aged and disabled clerks
and suggested that efficient railway
postal clerks be transferred to be post-
