tanned no seating arrangements, and
chairs that were expected, failed to
arrive, but for two hours the audience
stood and listened to the message OF
Socialism, not one leaving the hall. Al
the conclusion the audience turned
the affair into an informal session,
crowding about the speaker and ask
ing questions that had been on their
minds. At least !. dozen, who had
been voting old party tickets all their
lives, made application for member

Postal Strike
Is Threatened
POSTAL Workers ii Britain piscontent-
ed Win system in Operation
and May Stop Work.

Washington, Oct. Reynolds's
Newspaper is authority for the follow-
ing statement: 1T would paralyze
the whole trade of the country if
there occurred general strike Of post
al workers, and as there is SO much
discomfort with the sytem in vogue,
the ramincations of which are very
extensive. the men may one of these
days take the matter into their own
hands and stop work. One can
easily imagine what the effect would
be. To discuss in this column the
numerous grievances Of the postal en-
ployes would be impossible, but the
leaders of the Postmen's Federation
are doing their best to prove to the
Postmaster-Ge General the difficulties
which the employees have to contend
with. But up to the present the lead
ers have only met with rebuff. There
| is very grave and serious discomfort,
and something will have to be done to
rectify matters. The Postmaster-Gen-
eral has been asked to appoint a select
committee Of the House Of Commons
to inquire into the grievances and
claims of the employees, but SO far no
thing has bene done. Arrangements
are being made to hold series Of
meetings in London to acquaint the
public with the facts of the case. The
casual labor system. which affects
over 10000 men and women is one
of the serious grievances. At meet
I ing held during the week at Manches-
ter, there was for the first time in
the history of the postal service a
gathering Of inspectors as wei as tele-
graphists, postmen and sub-postmast-
ers. They, one and all. agreed that
there was sweating in the postal SER
vice, and that the treatment melted out
to them was causing unrest and dis
content, Wages in the postal service
have practically been at standstill
for the past twenty years, despite the
increased cost Of living. whilst the
work of the postal employees has
greatly increased. It was decided to
again call on the Postmaster General
to appoint committee to inquiry"
