Lack of subs will undermine service in West Virginia routing
The railway mail service faces a shortage of trained substitutes, especially on the Pitts and St Louis run. Only nineteen substitutes are available where thirty-one are due, with twelve on smaller runs. Older clerks fear demoralization as no new substitutes are being trained, while existing staff shoulder extra routing and exam prep workloads. The Hitchcock economy is blamed for exhaustion and idle substitutes.
