The man who harpooned Post
master General Hitchcock!
Urban A. Walter, former rail-
way mail clerk and publisher of
the Harpoon, official organ of the
postal employees.
And how the square-jawed,
steam roller person did holler!
There's an interesting story
back of this harpooning stunt.
Walters arrest in Denver was
neither the beginning nor the end
of the postal employees fight
against the gag" rule, which
was Hitchcock's personal repeal of
the constitutional right of
EVERY citizen to petition con-
gress."
1t started about four years ago,
in mail car near Chicago. Wal
ter was a mail clerk then. For IA
hours he worked in a detached
car heated" to the zero point.
He contracted pneumonia and
nearly died. Within a year he
was a consumptive, and had to
quit the mail car.
II AZ AIlZOHd he went Tor q rev
years of life. While waiting to
die, he started the Harpoon; every
issue laid open the sores in the
postal service. Postal employees
were not allowed to talk. so Wal
ter did the talking for them.
Between printing pictures OF
dead rats found in the water tanks
on mail cars and crusades show
ing that the sanitary conditions in
the mail cars were unspeakab bly,
vile, Walter tried for shorter
working hours, higher wages and
better and less dangerous condi.
lions of work for the men.
Later Walter moved his Har.
pooh to Denver.
He renewed his efforts to gel
the gag" rule set aside. Taft re.
fused to do it; Hitchcock wouldnt
think of it. So Walter got busy
on a big "antigag rule" edition
He sent letters to every postal EN-
Iploye telling about it.

notice.:

TOO MUCH GAS

CHICAGO, March S.-Reight
Smith of Kansas City and his wife
Mrs. Regina Smith, were found
unconscious from gas in a bed
room in the home of Harry A. At
we'll, 1049 Berwyn avenue. They
were taken to the Ravenswood
hospital, where it was said they
would recover. 1t is thought that
either Mr.. or Mrs. Smith acciden-
tally turned on the gas during the
night. The gas and electric
lights are on the same fixture and
1t is believed that the gas was
turned on by mistake.

NARROWESCAPE

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NELSON, B. c., March s.
Pulled up with a succession of
bumps and jerks following the
sudden application of air brakes
within ten feet of large quantity
of boulders and earth which
blocked the track at a point few
miles this side of Booming Falls,
the coast train was delayed last
night. 1t was only able to pro-
coed to Nelson after the train
crew and a number of passengers
had expended herculean efforts in
moving the debris. The train was
travelling at a fair speed at the
time the slide was reached, and it
speaks eloquently for the good
eyesight of the engineer that it
was possible to prevent the engine
from hitting the mass of rocks
and earth.
