Congressman Berger Takes Up

a*'Ss*} = Letter Carriers. <,-.
INSISTS THAT HEAVY -
II 81. COATS ARE TOO WARM
Postal Department Heeds Plea
(. and Order Will Be Issued +.
For Change. .

= Victor Berger has a summer issue.
(: When. the hot spell seized Washing
ton recently, the Socialist congress-
man thought Of the letter carriers
who in some cities are compelled to
wear. heavy coats in the hot sun. He
also recalled the fact that the post
office department had not yet issued
a general order permitting the car
riers to, wear blouses without the
consent Of the local .postmasters.
So he again too kup the matter
with the, department. He tried to get
the postmaster general to take away
from the local postmasters the dis
cretionary power in the matter Of
wearing apparel for these postal
workers. But as was the cast last
year sthe department replied that a
majority Of carriers in any given city
can decide the question Of wearing
apparel by stating their decision to
the postmaster.
Fears Of Carriers.
But Berger claims that the letter
carriers would jeopardize their Jobs
in case the postmasters prefer to
have the men appear in the streets
! dn full uniform. In fact the letter
carriers are afraid to even suggest the
holding Of a referendum on the sub
ject Of wearing apparel.
Berger has just received another
letter from the postoffice department,
signed by c. P. Granfield, the first
assistant post master general. In this
letter Granfield states:
IF majority Of carriers at. any
office prefer to wear shirtwaists dur
ing the heater term, 1t is not believed
such uniform would be opposed by
the, postmaster, as the department
has in the past had no such instance
brought to its attention.
Promises Relief.
with reference to your statement
that you have heard from number
of sources that the men feel that they
would jeopardize. their positions by
deciding for shirtwaists against the
wishes Of the local postmaster. you
are. advised :. that the department
'eweuld be- blad-. to- be- beaspeclfical1y In
formed in order that the matter may
be given proper attention.
= 1T is the intention of the depart
ment that If a majority Of the car
riers at any particular postoffice pre-
fer to- wear shirt waists during the
heated, term that they shall be per-
:n1itted to do So

.CER1IORARI WRIT
 ARGUED MONDAY
FREE BRIDGE CASE WILL BE HEARD BY JUDGE GRACE IN
 THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Attorneys Announce Ready-Real Purpose of Petition is to
 Get Delay.

In the Jefferson circuit court MOn- day Judge A. B. Grace will near ar gun1ent on the application of T. H. rCo!iier who prays for the issuance of q writ of certiorari in an effort to set recount of the signatures for and against the Free Bridge and a review of the petitions Ey the court Attorenys Danaher and Danaher and Coleman and Can't announced yester- day that they would be ready to ar que the case Monday morning. Attor- neys J. H. Carmichael and Asa c. Ora cie, of Little Rock, will appear for the petitioner.
 The application was filed in the Jefferson circuit court some weeks aSG, after the Bridge Commission had gone over the petitions and found a majority for the Free Bridge
 as we'll Jas giving the Taxpayers
 P' 'otectiVe Association a lengthy hearing that they might present pro tests and all other evidence to sus- tain thei' contentious that there was not a majority. In his petition T. IL. Collier charges that there were ire gularities and discrepancies in the figures and charges of fraud were also made.
 While the purpose of the petition is to get recount of the names for and against the Free Bridge. it is we'll known fact that the Taxpayers Pro- tective Association is fighting for a deay, with the hope of getting the Free Bridge act repealed at the com Ing session of the Legislature. A similar petition has also been filed in the Federal court at Little Rock wnerc it is also alleged that the
 Bridge Commission has not complied w;th the rules of the War Department iii i.ot filing plans and specifications for the proposed Free Bridge with re government officials at Washing ton.
 Actual work has already begun at t'.c Free Bridge site and the machin-
 cry is due to arrive here this week.
 john P. Hart, superintendent for the
 noCmheld Construction Company, of Chicago. has been on the ground for
 several days with force of men and much work has already been done.

trains to points convenient for the confessed dynamiters, is the contcn- fion of the government.
 The government bases it's case chiefly upon the evidence secured from the office of John J. McNamara at the time of his arrest here. At that time, detectives secured over hun- Led letters and other documents from McNamara's files. which, according to the government attorneys, estab- fish the guilt of the 46 defendants at least so far as the shipping of dyna- mite from state to state is concerned.
 Altogether the indictments against the labor leaders contain 12S counts the penalty for any one of the offenses varies from eighteen months to two years.
 Sixty-five of the explosions consid- cred in the indictments were on work of members of the National Erectors association an organization of 'open shop employees, and thirty-one eX- plosions. or attempts, were on work of contractors who were not members of the erectors association. There are over one hundred explosions con side.ed in the indictments. These eX- plosions began in 1905 and occurred at widely scattered points all over the country.
 One of the features that will invest this trial with unusual, if not sen sational interest, is the telegraph.
 Just how big part this mechanical eavesdropper will play in the trial o1 the labor leaders is impossible to say, but that it will figure as one of it's most conspicuous clements there can be no doubt.
 It is not only affirmed but it is a matter of boast on the part of the gov ernment officials here that they have succeeded in planting the dictagraph either in the homes or the offices Of nearly all of the men under indlct- ment and they have a record of the inmost thought of these men ill con- nection with the dynamiting outraSes that have occurred throughout the country.
 Just how discriminating these rec ords are only the trial itself can de velop.
 Among those who will come uD for trial are: President Ryan. John T.. Butler, Buffalo: ]. H. Barry, St. Louis; Patrick F. Farrell, New York; Dan- 'iel J. Brophy Brooklyn; Frank C.. Webb, new York; Herbert s. Hockln, Indianapolis; Charles N.. Beum, In dianapols; P. A. Cooley, New Orleans; Michael J. Cunnane, Philadelphia; .Iornes Sooaey, Chicago; Richard H.

 How the confession of these men stirred society, especially organized ed. But so much time has elapsed since that sensational confession that the tragic episode has almost died out of the public mind.
 This trial of the 46 leaders of the bridge and ironworkers union, how ever, will revive as the ghastly cir cumstances surrounding the work of the McNamara S in their murderous zeal to destroy their non-union com petitors.
 It is not contended in the indict- ment of the 46 men who are about to go on trial that they were person. ally cognizanu of the plot to blow up the Los Angeles Times. What they are specifically charged with is viola ton of the Interstate Commerce law by shipping dynamite ill large quanti- ties from one state to another, without authority.
 That these indicted men were aiders and abettors of the McNamaras in the dynamiting plots of the latter by shipping dynamite on passenger
