RESOLUTION PASSED
 BY LABOR MEETING CRIT|C|ZES BURLESON
Letter Carriers Claim They Are Compelled to Work Under Oppressive
 Rules of Texan

Buffalo, November 21.--The conyen- tion of the American Federation of La- bOr today adopted a resolution com demning Postmaster General Burlcson for his 'nutocratic policy toward postaI employes,c and instructed the executive council of the federation to obtain an audience with President Wilson and place before him facts "cOnccrning the oppressive labor pol fey of the Postmaster General"
 Tn adopting the resolution the conven- tion overturned a report from the resolu- ton committee which had reported in favor of referring the complaint to the executive council for investigation. Two other resolutions aimed at the Postmas- ter General for suppressoin of pro-Ger' man newspapers had been been side tracked in this way.
 The resolution condemning the Post. master General for his attitude toward federal employees was introduced by Thomas E. Flaherty of the National Fed eration of Postal Employees, and Edward J. Gainer of the National Association of Letter Carriers.
 Approximately 25o,000 workers in the postal service, the resolution said. are forced to accept without protest the ''un- satisfactory working conditions imposed by an autocrat."

Trial of Mrs. De Saulles Makes Slow Progress;
 Jury Not Yet Selected

Mineola, N. Y, November 21.-Trial of Mrs. Blanca De Saulles for the mur- der of her divorced husband, John l.. De Saulles, Yale athlete and clubman. at his Long Island home the night of August 3, has dragged through three days of tedious questioning of tales men without jury being completed. With but two seats in the jury box remaining to be filled. it seemed eer- tain tonight, however, that the talk : ing of evidence would begin tomor row.
 Only two men were added to the jury today. The first panel of 151 names having been exhausted, Justice David F. Manning shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon adjourned until tomorrow morning. At his order, 50 more talesmen have been summoned
 The slowness of the trials progress is accounted for by the evident da. termination of attorneys on both sides to obtain 12 men who are heads of families and whose experience would guarantee maturity of judgment.
 Mrs. De Saulles was cheered today by visit from her son. John l.. De Saulles. Jr., four and one-half years cid. Mother and son spent two hours together.

mination on their last line of defense in these parts.
 The correspondent early today passed the main Hindenburg fine near Havrin- court. The paths of the tanks through the great masses of barbed wire before this line could be clearly followed. In many places the tanks had torn the o5- struction away completely, leaving wide gaps which were entirely free for the troops to pass through. The German trenches and dugouts were in state of confusion, which showed plainly the haste with which the enemy abandoned this famous ditch.
 There was very little artillery work on the German side in this section this morning, and no mans land, where one would not have dared to show his head yesterday morning, was quiet except for the British consolidation operations. which were being carried out rapidly. Roads are being pushed through with great speed to keep pace with the ad- vance

 "The Hindenburg Line Smashed" was the giant caption in the evening papers and apt1y focuses the point en- gazing public interest and attention, and although there was no bell ring ing or other marked singing of pub lie jubilation, wherever men gathered together there was accumulation Of the brilliant achievement of Field Marshal Haig and General Byng and discussion of the surprising features of the attack, first it's secrecy and sur- prise to the emmy; second, astonish- ment at the number of the novel em- p1oyment of tanks; third, the absence of artillery preparation and the cus- tomary barrage fire to assist the in- fantry advance and fourth, there were many guesses why the tremendous German defensive organizations in the attacked area, in the words of one commenter, melted away" before the British onset.

ed as the forerunner of still bigger things and the question, What next?' is on everybody's lips. General Byng is the hero of the hour. the honor of planning and carrying out the unique strokes belongs to him, and his picture and sketch of his career appear in all the papers.
 The Hindenburg, or Siegfried line which was thus preached, was be- lieved by the Germans to be strong enough to hold back the world armies It's triple cordon of three separate trench systems had a central linc with great tunnel, with openings at frequent intervals, making it unnec- essary for the troops to move above ground, thus keeping the garrison safe under the heaviest gunfire. It is be- lieved that much of this tunnel now is in the possession of the British.
