and that the junkers wanted to ex-

Keeping in mind the fact that he
has just demanded the repeal of their
right to be heard, it is positively
funny to get this moral lesson from
Mr.. Burleson, in his report: while
the employees should at all times be
jealous of their own rights and pro-
lection, yet they should ever be mind
full of their obligation to the public
and devote their talents and energy
to the betterment of the service to
the people in which they are en-

never greater than at the present
time, when the nation is engaged in

that everyone must make to win the

cannot be won nor the world rebuilt

Notwithstanding this fact" he
says, "and at this critical period in
our nations history, it is regrettable
to state that the organized postal en-
ployes are making many selfish de-
mands and are insisting that they
shall not be required or permitted to
work in excess of the usual number
of hours; also that their salaries be
permanently increased. although they
are justly compensated, receiving
three times as much as those fighting
in the trenches.
Efforts of these organizations
along other lines have been severely
criticized by men in public life, as
they attempt to control political as
well as Legislative matters and openly
boast of the influence they claim to
exert in the furtherance of their sell
fish interests.

and others soon will be. notwithstand-
ing the fact that such affiliation is
believed to be contrary to the act of
August "a, 1912 (this is the anti-gaR
act). The advisability of permitting
government employees to affiliate with
an outside organization and use the
strike and boycott as last resort to
enforce its demands is seriously ques-
toned by those interested in the pub

INFORMATION FOR REGISTERED MEN
TRAINING FOR UNITED STATES SIGNAL CORPS IN
UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO

The United States Government
must secure $4,000 radio or buzzer op-
orators at the earliest possible date
for service in the Signal Corps of the
army. The Signal Corps has asked the
College of Engineering of the Univer-
sity of Colorado to assist in the train
ing of such operators from the ranks
of the men who are shortly to be
called to the cantonments.
We are informed by the authorities
at Washington that drafted men who
attain the required proficiency are
practically certain of rapid promo
ton and increased pay in the army.
The rank of corporal and sergeant,
with wage of from $36 to $61 a
month, awaits the majority of the men
thus trained, and in proportion as a
man so instructed shows his ability
and interest, promotion lies ahead of
him to the position of Master Signal
Electrician, with a wage of S81 a
month.
Our plan is to hold both day and
evening classes in the Engineering
Building at the University. Glasses
are already in operation, and others
will be formed as needed. This work
will continue indefinitely. Our purpose
is to train radio or buzzer operators
so as to be able to receive and send a
minimum of 20 words of 5 letters each
per minute. The desired standard
would be reached by the average stud
