ton addressed to the new council in
which the construction of a storm
sewer through blocks 176, 1T, 179

mended to the new council Mayor
Elder stated that practically every

j. s. EMPLOYEES
ARE URGED To
JOIN UNIONS
Labor Federation, by New Move
ment, Puts Organization Issue
Squarely Up to Wilson,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Organiz-
ers for the American Federation of
Labor have begun efforts to unionize
the 100000 employees of the Govern
ment under instructions issued by the
Executive Council of the labor or
ganization.
There is no legal bar TO this action
except a provision in the postofflce
appropriation bill of 1918, that en-
ployees may not affiliate with organ
izations imposing obligations to join
strikes or promising assistance in
time of strikes.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
federation, said to-day that the ques-
ton of strikes really had nothing to
do with the movement, as the strike
is reserved as the last possible wea-
pom.
Government employees whose occu-
pations cause them to be aligned with
existing craft unions will be urged to
join these organizations, while for
those employees whose peculiar en-
ployment does not permit classified
ton in existing unions new organiza
tons would be formed.
The frank attitude of the American
Federation of Labor will place the
question of labor unions for Govern
ment employees squarely before Pres
ident Wilson. At present the open
shop principle is maintained in the
Government Printing Office, where
more craftsmen of one class are en-
ployed than in any other Government
bureau or department.
