this matter clear to the producers.

Reorganization of the railway mail
service is projected by Postmaster
General Hitchcock, who will recom-mend
the plan to Congress. The
scheme provides a new system of
compensation for employes that pro-vides
for promotions based upon ef-ficiency.
The salaries will be grad-ed
in the same manner as for post-office
