POSTAL CLERKS
FORM A UNION
MEMBERS ARE FORBIDDEN TO
STRIKE
Will Not Affiliate with Organized
Labor, but Will Press Demands
Through Board of Ar
bitrators

Permanent organization of local rail-
way postal clerks, already accom-
plished. will be completed at a meeting
of the members of that calling in the
Remick building Saturday night. Los
Angeles has been chosen as the start
ing point for the new order and ma =
tional organizers viii spread through
the east and south to bring all the
1000 clerks of the United States into
the union.
While the new union, like other labor
organizations, will be for the mutual
aid and protection of its MEMBERS its
leaders disclaim any intention of taxi
ing up the militant unionism of the
now existing orders. provision
against strikes is included in the con-
stitution and each lodge will agree, on
being affiliated with the grand lodge
not to leave the service conjunctively,
under any conditions.
The organization will be called THE
order of the National Brotherhood of
Railway Postal Clerks" Attempts to
secure more pay and the right to ap-
peal to congress will be the first active
work of the order.
Hugh G. Shaug, 1106 Dewey avenue,
is the leader of the Los Angeles clerks
and is one of the originators of the
plan for a national organization. Mr..
tee which visited Washington Novem-
ber 10 and 20 to ask for remedial legis-
lation.
To Improve Service
THE present conditions of the SER
vice, we believe, are causing a swift
retrogression among the men and in
the standard of the service" said Mr.
Shaug. This organization is planned
to improve and uplift the work, and is
for the mutual aid and advancement of
the men.
I'VE are bound by oath on entering
the service and our union does not con-
template any action in any way in vio-
lation of the oath. 1t rather strength
ems it by pledging the men to keep at
all times within their oath.
Railway postal clerks have a valu-
able commodity to sell to the govern
ment-knowledg and experience of
special kind. Unlike the experience
gained in other lines of work this
knowledge and skill has no value in
any other market. on this account
clerk gives more TO the government and
Sans workers. If these men leave the
service the people, who are their en-
ployers, lose much and gain nothing,
because they are not useful in other
work
THE postal clerks calling is dan
gerous one and he is constantly kept
away from his family The Compensa-
ton is entirely too small and if he has
a home he has to spend perhaps a third
of his income for living at times when

SHELTER FOR BEEHIvEs.

mentS were carried on in outdoor win
tering and in packing a number of col
onies in straw under one roof. The ex-
periments during the last two years
were not only modified by the indoor
wintering with packing only above tie
colonies, but also by packing colonies
in straw in an open shed against the
side of the house. (See the accompany
ing fgures)
Outdoor wintering is usually accom-
plished in chaff hives, and one great
objection is the expensiveness of these
hives. Otherwise, since it is the most
normal condition for bees, this method
is to be recommended for ineXperi-
enced beekeepers. The feature of these
chaff hives is a double wall with from
three to eight inches of space between
the walls on all sides. including the
bottom, filed with some >nOnconductor
