Suggestion Made For

Great interest was occasioned in tele-
graphic ana labor circles today by the
proposition submitted by President
Mackey, OF the Postal Telegraph COM
pany, to the employees, suggesting the
fu.mation OF a cooperative union
among Postal operators, which shall
supplant the present union
Manager Frosscr, OF the Postal, posted
a copy Of President Mackey's telegram
IN the operating rooms today, and this
;-fternOon said that the men who have
remained at tn keys during the present
strike seem to be looking with favor
upon the proposed plan. As outlined b.
The company's president, the proposition
is for those who have remained faithful
10 the company and its interests, and
those who have come 90 its aid since
August.
Its object Will be the maintenance Of
good relations between the company and
its employees everywhere. securing TO
the company loyal working force and
10 its members employment undistuTbed
by factions seeking to coerce. embarrass
or harass the company or its employees.
and its further object will be 10 render
financial aid to it's employees when sick
or disabled and also In case OF death"

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.-Hungarian love

Miss Gladys Vanderbilt and her Hun
garian count, It is needless to say, are
the ones behind the new movement For

Gov. johnson in Second
Place Expected to
Swing Northwest.

The persistent pushing OF the Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler Presidential asplra-
tons IS puzzling 10 politicians OF both
parties.
When New York Democrats like
Finger Connors, chairman OF the
State committee In the Hearst cam
paign. suddenly announced CONVEX
sion to Chanler. there was a perking up
Of heads. and Democrats in other States
began to ask. who IS Chanler. any
howe" They had al,s,ost forgotten that
he was the candidate for Lieutenant gov
ernor on the Hearst ticket last year
and was elected. so that he now holds
the job. IL was further explained that
he is a very rich man. one of the AstOr
heirs, but that his work has been along
lines FOR the betterment Of political and
social conditions. He Is a lawyer, but
works without pay when he defends the
poor. Perhaps he is considered a rich
man with a fad. but the fad Is always
on the side of doing some good in the
world.
Chanler burst on the political scene
with considerable flourish. thanks, per
haps TO his agile press boomers. bat
The holiness of his managers aids to
kees him in the limelight Later this
ron h he will make a speech at At
~ianta- This means that he is after the
Southern men who have long resented
tLe Bryan domination.
There is also holiness In the asser-
lions Of the Chanler men that the ticket
next year will be Chanler, OF New York
and Johnson. Of Minnesota. As the
Gopher governor announced some time
ago that he would not be an candidate
for even first place, the wonder Is that
he makes no objection when his name
Is tackled on 20. Chambers for the Vice
Presidential Nomination. Johnson Is
strong with the Scandinavian section OF
the Northwest, and II IS claimed that
with him on the ticket the States OF
NJ nnesota, Wisconsin. and both DakO-
tas VIII slip into the Democratic column.
Chanier promises 20 carry New York
ard with the Solid South's 337 electoral
vCtes-the votes of the Northern States
mentioned added to New York would
mean a Democratic victory. Eminent
Republicans have figured out that they
can elect a Republican President with
out New York but they cannot with
the loss OF the Northwestern Republican
States. Hence the Chanler scheme OF
hooking UP with Johnson seems a very
good political play.
