Free Mail Charges Not
Taken Into Account.
By the Associated Press.
The bookkeeping, by w^ich the Post
Office Department reported a surplus
of $12,161,415 for the fiscal year
ending June 30 last, was explained In
a statement by Harllee Branch, Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General.
As previously made known, this sur
plus did not take into account subeldy
and free mall charges.
Revenues for the year were given
by Branch as $586,733,165 and ex
penditures as $630,767,000. The re
ceipts were $898,199 less than 1933,
but expenditures were down $69,
239,256.
In reaching what he said was the
actual cost of postal activities, the de
partment subtracted from total audited
expenditures $28,692,604 of subsidies to
ocean mail contract holders. $12,992.
991 to airmail contractors, $23,094,882
of postage for Government depart
ments. $776,000 for mail of Congress,
$545,000 for weekly newspapers han
dled free within the county of publi
cation and $521,6j2 for handling mail
for the blind and similar activities au
thorixed by Congress.
This would have left the department
with a surplus of $23,689,205, but
Branch explained that the department
had subtracted from this figure $2,
633,564 in outstanding obligations, $5,
485.932 for the cost of operating public
buildings and (2,308,334 for which the
department became obligated when the
Shipping Board turned over to It ad
ministration of an ocean mail contract
formerly handled by the board.

MILWAUKEE STORE
EMPLOYES STRIKE
Negotiations of Several Weeks
Collapse in Middle of Christ
mas Shopping.
Br the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE, November 30.— |
With the Christmas shopping period
heading toward its peak, employes of
the Boston Store, one of Milwaukee's
major department stores, were called
out on strike today.
The order. Issued by locals of the
International Retail Clerks' Protec
tive Association, the Auto Truck Driv
ers' Union and the Building Service
Employe·' International Union, fol
lowed several weeks of negotiation*.
Stanley Stone, president of the
■tore, promised "regular service to all
customers," but termed a walkout by
"some" employee "inevitable."
Estimates as to the number of em
ployes subject to the strike call were
disputed. Phillip Koerner, president of
the clerks' union, said 616 regular
clerks, 23 extra clerks for rush sea
sons, 108 maintenance employes and
64 truck drivers had union affiliations.
The store management contended
some employes changed their attitude
after signing union membership
blanks and the total membership did
not represent a majority of employes
eligible to belong to the union.
Songs are still used in treating the
sick by medicine men of the Seminole
Indians of Florida.
