Michael Hines requests F. Norton Goddard’s assistance in a matter concerning the salaries of clerks in his organization. Although last year Postmaster Van Cott suggested that Hines submit the names of several clerks so that they could obtain salary raises, Van Cott did not make the same request this year. Hines believes this situation may be related to his “refusal to alligate” his “interests with the Postmaster in the last State Convention” and fears that Van Cott means to make an example of him for his “faithfulness to the Governor.”
