 WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. o. Federal officials admit frankly that the labor situation is exceedingly alarming throughout the nation.
 The serious strikes now threaten to tie up the industrial situation throughout the United States.

Running on top of the drain was a boxed chute which was supposed 10 contain a telephone conduit of insulated lead and copper cable. When the covering Was removed the cable was found to be absent.

EFFICIENCY WILL SUFFER
IF SALARY OF GOVERNMENT
CLERKS IS NOT INCREASED

II members Of Congress find II diff
ticult to live comfortably on the
$1,000 which they draw each year,
they ought to be able to appreciate
the position OF the Government clerk.
This was the way J. A Hopkins, now
a lawyer OF Kansas City, formerly a
Government employe, summed up his
argument in behalf OF giving Gov
ernment clerks q substantial increase
in salaries. Mr.. Hopkins is at the
New willard and when interviewed
today said:
sIf Congress does not grant an in
crease in salaries to the Government
clerks, II will be doing the greatest
injustice ever done q faithful work
ing class.
"when I left the Government SER
vice fifteen years ago | did SO with
the greatest misgivings, because l
had learned to depend upon the regu-
lar semi-monthly pay. l was drawing
Il fairly good salary, but with the
most rigid economy I could not save
more than 500 a year.
From my own knowledge can
say that the salaries and wages of
every class OF workers In the United
States, except Government clerks,
have been increased in the last three
years to meet the extraordinary con-
ditions due to the war. II there is
no more consideration shown the en-
ployes OF the Government It will not
be many years before the efficiency
OF the departments will be at SO low
a state that 1t will be impossible to
have the work OF the Government
done in the right way, for capable
men will not go to work for the sal
aries paid by the Government at this

AT. OIL. SUPPORTS
POSTAL EMPLOYEES
INGAG-LAWF FIGHT

Postmaster General Burleson and
the organized postal employees are
"going to the mat" at this session Of
Congress.
II there was any doube about this
before IL has been removed by the
statement issued by Samuel .Gompers,
president OF the American Federation
of Labor. This statement makes 1t
plain that the American Federation
| of Labor Is squarely behind the or
ganization OF postal employees in the
battle which the employees are waging
against repeal of the so-called anti
gag law.
1t is under this law that the postal
employees are given the right to or
ganiEe and also to petition Congress
to redress their grievances.
BurIesOn Opposes Law.
Postmaster General Burleson wants
this law repealed and fears that the
outcome OF organization by the postal
employees will be strikes. The postal
employees sent representatives to Buff
falo to the recent netting of the A. +.
OF L. and the latter went on record in
favor Of the contentious OF the en-
pfoyes. ~.
The American Federation OF Labor
will exert every effort to block the
wishes OF the Postmaster General.
Mr.. Gompers' statement Is. in part,
as follows:
"The American Federation OF Labor
will resist any effort made by Post
master General Burleson to put into
effect his recommendation to Con-
Gress that the postal employees be
denied the right OF direct appeal to
Congress and the right to organize
and affiliate with labor.
No Strike Menace.
'Air. BurIeson cannot point to q
single instance where an affiliated or
ganizatlon OF postal employees has
threatened to strike. He cannot
name a single officer OF these organi-
zations who has remotely suggested
such a course.
ITO deny the right OF workers In
our largest Governmental agency TO
organize Is to make a mockery OF
our faith In democracy. II autocracy
Is harmful to the morals OF our alien
enemies abroad, then let US not intro
duce species OF It into our largest
Federal Institution by attempting TO
industriAlly the army of
postal workers. =
THE American Federation of Labor
stands prepared today to back up Its
position OF 1906, when It fought for
the rights OF the Government EN-
ploye. We differ from Mr.. BurIeson
In his view that the anti-gag law
has operated to build up organiza-
tions OF employees that are q menace
We fear that the menace lies, not in
the employees organizations, but in
the denial to citizens OF fundamental
rights"
