Criticism of Executive Order.
Attacks on the executive order that
prohibits federal employees from appeal
ing to Congress or to congressman for
redress Of wrongs. and on the Post ONCE
Departments efforts to make that order
effective. marked the session OF the Ma

noon.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Stewart had attempted to justify that
order in an address on the subject OF re-
lationS Of federal employees to the service.

and post roads, took him to task for his
views, declaring the order vicious and

Samuel Gompers then took up the
theme. He declared that not only was
the executive order denying the right Of

right. but that it was unenforceable. and
was on the records only to brighten timid
men in the service. The right to organ
ize, denied to postal employees. said Mr..
Gompers, was exercised without fear Of
interference by other employees Of the
government.
After Mr.. Gompers had closed Mr.
Stewart resumed the rostrum to reply.
He was subjected to cross-examination
by Representative Lloyd. The debate be-
came so heated that Seth Low, president,
urged that the method of discussion be

operations of the compensation act of
the state of Washington. The Washing

important in that feature dealing with

visions.

The model act does not enumerate ma

of mechanism in which are present points

which he is chairman.
Louis B. Schram, chairman of the fed

Of the labor committee OF the Brewers
Association. described the "mOdel safety
act" which has been prepared by the
federation for presentation to- the legisla-
lures Of the different states. 1t Is the OBJ
ject Of this model act to unity the state
laws in regard to factory inspection and
to do away with existing rigid, infexfble
and unenforceable laws on this subject
Mr.. Schram stated that statistics show
that more than one-third of the industrial
accidents are preventable. To put an end
to these preventable maimings and kill
ings. he said, three things are necessary,
these being intelligent, systematic and ex-
haustive reporting Of industrial accidents
the establishment of museums of safety
devices, and the compulsory safeguarding
through uniform legislative requirement
of all machinery, appliances and working
places, including the sanitation of fac
tories and workshops.
