This recognition of faithful service should not be considered as a salary increase but a reward or recognition of long and faithful service to the Government. The principle involved is not new. as it has been in vogue for many years in private enterprises as well as in other departments of the Federal service. such as personnel of the Army. Navy. Marine Corps. Coast Guard. Public Health Service. Immigration and Naturalization examiners and Customs inspectors. The maximum increase in military service runs as high as 50 percent. whereas the increase for city clerks or carriers under this bill is only 23.8 percent. The duties performed by these postal employees are arduous and require ability. fidelity. and faithfulness to the Government.
