UNFAIR DISCRIMINATION
Sir,—l desire to ventilate through tlio medium of your valuable paper a matter that requires some adjustment. Tho officers of the Post and Telegraph Department havo been granted—and rightly so—a war bonus; all save one small section, namely, the postmasters in charge of non-permanent offices. Why these servants of the State should liavo been passed over I fail to see, except it be that tlio number is too small to eauso tlio authorities any serious concern. Nevertheless this small arm of the service deserves tlio bonus equally with the other branches. The war has thrown upon the Post and Telegraph Service a Jingo amount of extra work. During tho last two years this Department has had. the hardest task of the whole Civil Service, and tho work has been tackled manfully and cheorfully, and I feel that tho poor nonpermanent postmaster is fairly and honestly entitled to a war "bonus. I would bo glad, Mr. Editor, if you would use your powerful pen to help to right this wrong.—l am, etc., NON-PERMANENT.
