Postal workers aren’t taking chances: they want to be sure that
their Civil Service rights won’t be diminished by conscription.
Last week, the New York Federation of Post Office Clerks, Local 10,
passed a resolution on the subject. Drawn up by Secretary Charles
E. McLaughlin, the resolution pointed out that;
“Conscription w i l l Involve' '■
postal employees; and that Civil th e C lerk s a re t h a t th e p r e s e n t eli­
Service should not be damaged gible ro s te r be m a in ta in e d u n til a
ne w one *is set up; an d tJiat a ll v a ­
by conscription.”
T h e posta l m e n ask t h a t each v a ­

P ost Office caused by th e d r a f t be
