§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)The wages of postmen in England, Scotland, and Ireland are constantly undergoing a process of adjustment to meet alterations of duty, whether in connection with the length of the walk, the hours of work, or the weight carried.
