Deegan defends Mackay against eight hour day claim
William A. Deegan secretary of the Postal Telegraph system denounces a Washington misrepresentation about Clarence C. Mackay and the eight hour day for government telegraph lines. He says Postal officials sought a conference with Burleson but received no reply while others proposed compromise. Postal wages rose 10 percent under the approved schedule though 40 percent of workers already logged ten to seven and a half hours, complicating the shift change.
