Postal Officials Deny Burleson Statements on Eight Hour Day
William J. Deegan, secretary of the Postal Telegraph system, called Washington claims that Clarence H. Mackay delayed the eight hour day misrepresentations.

He noted wages rose ten percent under the government plan, higher than the five percent stated, and highlighted that forty percent of operators work seven to seven and a half hours, complicating shift length.
