The piece argues postal clerks and railway post office staff are underpaid and overworked with long hours and dangerous conditions. It cites Secretary Hitchcock and calls for a $150,000 immediate appropriation, plus reworking pay classifications to attract and retain clerks in a vital federal service.
The writer criticizes the city administration for failing to enforce sanitary laws around the crematory and urges court action to protect residents. It questions officials knowledge of city regulations and laments apparent false economy and ignored statutes.

The city urges residents to clear sidewalks within twenty four hours after snow stops. If unremoved, the superintendent of streets may remove it at city expense and recover costs by action. Penalty for violation is a fine up to twenty dollars. The council meets tonight as residents seek action on the garbage issue and a crematory day is noted.
