Scope Note: https://lccn.loc.gov/dg2015060694. "Democratic Party, in the United States, one of the two major political parties, the other being the Republican Party. The Democratic Party has changed significantly during its more than two centuries of existence. During the 19th century the party supported or tolerated slavery, and it opposed civil rights reforms after the Civil War in order to retain the support of Southern voters. By the mid-20th century it had undergone a dramatic ideological realignment and reinvented itself as a party supporting organized labour, the civil rights of minorities, and progressive reform. Since President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal of the 1930s, the party has also tended to favour greater government intervention in the economy and to oppose government intervention in the private, noneconomic affairs of citizens. The logo of the Democratic Party, the donkey, was popularized by cartoonist Thomas Nast in the 1870s; though widely used, it has never been officially adopted by the party." -Encyclopedia Britannica

Letter: Dexter Sutterfield to Hon. James Jones expressing concern about the proposed 5% pay increase for federal employees. Sutterfield argues that federal workers do not have expense accounts like Congress and depend on their salaries for their livelihood. He points out that the private sector has given larger pay increases in recent years and urges Jones to overturn President Ford's proposal. Jones responds, thanking Sutterfield for his letter and informing him that a resolution disapproving the President's recommendation has been favorably reported by the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee. If passed, the pay increase for federal employees will be 8.66% instead of 5%. Jones appreciates Sutterfield's concern and assures him of his willingness to be of service as his Representative., 1975-09-08 - 1975-09-11

Letter: Don R. Hood expressing disapproval of President Ford's proposal for a 5% wage freeze for postal employees. Hood believes that only workers in the private sector will seek and obtain wages to catch up with inflation. He requests that the American Postal Workers Union be given the opportunity to negotiate their temporary cost of living allowance into their base pay and receive an increase comparable to the private sector. Congressman James R. Jones acknowledges Hood's concerns and states that his remarks will be kept in mind as legislation on federal pay increases and the rights of postal employees is considered in Congress., 1975-05-03 - 1975-05-19
