Show KING GOES TO AID OF POSTOFFICE CLERKS Senator Protests Against Proposed Ee-moval Ee-moval of Twelve Men From Ogden. Special to The Tribune. WASHINGTON, March 13. Senator King today protested to the postoffice department against the proposed removal re-moval of twelve postal clerks from Ogden Og-den to Chicago and Council Bluffs. Second Sec-ond Assistant Postmaster General Prager said the proposed removal of clerks would effect considerable saving to the department. Heretofore San Francisco and Oakland mail has been distributed by the railway mail clerks between Ogden and San Francisco. In the future this mail will be distributed at Chicago, Council Bluffs or Omaha terminals. This will necessitate the removal re-moval of twelve clerks from Ogden, eight going to Chicago and four to Omaha. The mails will not. be delayed and the change w-ill reduce the car space to be paid for by the government. The changes on the lines running into and out of Cheyenne involved tna removal re-moval of thirty-one clerlts from Chey enne to Pocatello, Ogden and North Platte.- The Wyoming senators have protested against the change without avail. Today the wives of the Cheyenne Chey-enne clerks "telegraphed the president telling him that they voted for his reelection re-election and the first act of his new administration is a virtual eviction from their homes. |
