   Francis J. Crowley, vice president of sales for Spencer Press Inc. in Wells, says his customers are already cutting corners to compensate for postal increases. The direct marketer produces 600 million catalogues a year, sending 500 million through the U.S. mail on behalf of clients.
   
   "On July 1, whether they want to or not, cataloguers will wake up having to pay $300,000 to $400,000 more a year for the same service," Crowley said. "Invariably, it will force the marginal cataloguer, the one on the fence just making it, it might put them out of business."
   
   Since customers cannot negotiate lower postage, they reduce the quality of the paper they use, shrink the size of their catalogues and cut back on mailings, he says.
   
   "If the Postal Service could be more efficient, as efficient as the businesses they draw from, it would help the cause," Crowley said.
   
   On Tuesday, the National Association of Letter Carriers and the Postal Service announced agreement on a new dispute resolution process that in 19 pilot sites cut the number of worker grievances appealed to arbitration by more than half. The new process emphasizes dispute resolution early in the grievance process.
