ganizatiols who remotely has sug-
gested such a coufse.
Personally, / have addressed
postal employees many times in all
parte of the country. | have ex
planned to them that legislation and
not the strike was their weapon Of
last resort.
Il can see no danger of a strike
OF postal employees if they have
free access to Congress and public
opinion to secure the correction of
their grievances.
But l can conceive of serious
trouble arising if the Burleson idea
of representing men and not Civ
ing them the opportunity to organ
ize and to come in contact with
their fellow workers in a sincere
desire 10 make better the lot # all
groups OF workers is to put into
operation.
"Afiliation with the labor move
ment is a safety valve for the
postal workers with Mr., Burleson
in a mistaken view Of the yearn
ings Ct his employees would close.
"AssociATIoN is VOLUNTARY"
The association Of the postal
employees with the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor is purely a volun-
tary one. Those men have come
forward voluntarily in recent years
in large numbers to become idsnti
fed with the labor movement.
This indicates only too well that
working conditions for them are
not as ideal as the Postmaster

These workers have the right
yes, it is a public duty or
ganize and make known their
grievances to their employees, the
American people, so that an aroused
public opinion speedily can correct
any administrative defects that
may be harmful to the workers and

To deny the right Of workers
