Post Office Employees Very Poorly Paid. s For several years past the employees of the post oflices throughout the country have been trying to secure adequate recognition of their services. Again and again the inadequacy ot their pay has been brought to the attention of the Department but with no effect. Postmaster General Blondin sits tight and noth- ing is done. An attempt was made this year to influence the ministers, and a promise was given that the salaries yould be increased aid the increase would date from the beginning of the year. ‘The Senate amended the bill, however, and there will be no change until April next and then the change will be so small that it will be hardly worth mentioning. The post office employees are recipients of a war bonus supposed to make up for the increased cost of living, but even so the remuneration is so low that these public servants tind it most difficult to live. This c@ndition is not peculiar to Prince Rupert. It obtains everywhere throughout the Dominion. We cannot expect good service if we are not willing to pay a decent wage. Rupert as Centre For District Mails, At present Vancouver is the mailing centre for the whole of the coast of British Columbia. Mail subsidies are paid to boats plying in every direction to and from that port. ‘It is the mail clearing house for almost every point, with the exception of Prince Rupert. It was proper that the only terminal point on the coast shoul: have been made ‘the mail distributing centre. There was for years no other centre. Now, however, a new centre has arisen. Prince Rupert is the centre of the northern and central districts but as yet the post office authorities hardly know it. Mails from this district are still going t© Vancouver and mail subsidies are being given to boats plying past Prince Rupert to enable them to carry mails to Vancouver. The next logical step will be to have the mail subsidies fo: this part of the coast given to vessels that will ply to this port. It does not matter what company is given the contract, the schedules should be so arranged that the mail is distributed here and should go by the most direct route to the east. The rise of Prince Rupert as a distributing centre has made necessary a re- adjustment. There must be such from time to time. Unhappily the post office is run on lines which make it hard to secure changes. It is to be hoped that the Dominion Government wii! see to it that adjustments are made from time to time with a view to giving the best possible service in this department. Capt. Barney Johnson At Canadian Club. The Canadian Club was fortunate in having as their guest of honor yesterday Capt. Baruey Johnson, D. 8. U., of the Rove Navy. While the captain in his address tol dnothing about hini- self, his native modesty forbiding that, yet he gave his hearers an insight into the work of the submarine service during the wer. He also spoke of the need of Canada cultivating a sea sense, im order that she may take her place and do her part in the sea defences of the Empire. Capt. Johnson was familiar with his subject and he was talking to friends. He chatted pleasantly and his address was thoroughly appreciated, becanse he spoke with authority as one who knew.
