Staff Only

A postal clerk named Samuel Bright is writing to Congressman George B. Schwabe to express concerns about the low wages of postal employees. He explains that despite a recent raise, deductions for retirement and taxes have offset any increase in take-home pay. Bright requests support for the Burch-Mead Bill, which would provide a $500 increase for postal employees to help meet the rising cost of living. He asks for Congressman Schwabe's consideration and a reply outlining his opinion on the matter.
