WASHINGTON REPORT
Congressman Edwin D. Eshieroan JH|I
IM DUtrl«f-P*nniylvanla QHII
The postal ci ims h:is been
vciy much on the minds of all
Americans in recent weeks Any
interruption of the mail sci\ice
causes almost unbelievable diK
i option in the daily i online of
our society Movement of the
mails is an absolutely essential
activity in this counliy
Business cannot operate,
government cannot function,
and millions of individual citi
zens are faced with emergency
situations if the mails are not
delivered. A postal strike na
turally becomes a matter of
wide concern
The postal workers in the
16th Congressional District mer
it the praise of all of us for
their recognition of responsi
bility in the face of the mail
crisis When confronted by
emotional pleas to act upon
grievances by walking off the
job, postal employes in Lan
caster County, Lebanon County
and Middletown elected to keep
working. In so doing, they set
an example of dedicated public
service.

Lancaster Farming. Saturday, April 11.1970 —
York and olhei cities the local
letter canicis want (and de
servo) belter pay and beltei
working conditions, but they
iccogmzcd that thcie is a right
way and a wiong way of seeking
and attaining change
The postal strike was wiong
It was illegal, violating both the
letter of the law and the spmt
of an oath sworn by all federal
employees To condone the
strike is to condone unlawful
activity and faithlessness to a
freely sworn statement
In addition, the work stop
page was an obvious extension
of a dangerous philosophy. That
philosophy is something I call
government by muscle which
simply means that a gioup
wanting something attempts to
pressure the Congress regard
less of the consequences to the
rest of the society
Congress was a target of
postal pressure While intimi
dation is the worst possible way,
and usually the least produc
tive way, of approaching any
legislative body, in the case of
the mini crisis Congress was not
faultless
Legislation for i.using postal
pay had l.mciuished in a con
giessional confcicncc commit,
toe for months In fact, tho
House of Ropi osenlalives pass
ed the postal pay bill last Otto
boi Tho Senate passed its own
\eision of the legislation in
December thus setting the stage
fot a confeience to work out
the diffeiences between the two
pioposals
Th confeiees fust met in
Maich of this year Small won
dei that the postal workers be
came fiustiated by inactivity
that seemed to bolder on un
concern
Yet, the postal crisis is just
one moie issue wheie Congress
has been too slow to act On
issue after issue, inactivity has
been the principal reaction on
Capitol Hill
I cannot help but think that
this inaction is tied to the inr
effectiveness of the old timers
who run the Congress. There
are 21 committees in the House
and 19 of the 21 committee
chairmen are in their 60’s, 70’s,
or 80’s. This year three chair
men will be in their 80’s, seven
in their 70’s and nine in theii
60’s.
The vitality of Congress is
bound to be affected by the
overwhelming number of gray
beards at the top, and the lack
of vitality is translated into a
lack of action on many mat
ters, including those as serious
as the postal situation.
I think it is important to say
again that we owe the postal
workers in the 16th District a
debt of gratitude They certain
ly will be deserving of the bene
fits settled upon in the present
negotiations.
And, let us hope that their
example of responsible public
1 service will help to prevent an
-1 other postal crisis in the future
