Gompers Attacks BurlesOn's Stand on the Question of Postal Employees Union

Washington December 10-Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fedora tion of Labor, issued statement tonight vigorously attacking Postmaster General Burleson's recommendation that postal employees be denied the right to organize and affiliate with the Federation. He said the Federation was prepared to re- ssist any effort to put the recommenda- ton into effect,
 ''Mr. Burleson cannot point to a single instance where an affiliated organization Of postal employees has threatened to strike" said the statement. He can not name a single officer of these or ganizations who has remotely suggested such a course. Personally, in the many times I have addressed postal employees in all parts of the country I have ex- plained to them that legislation and not the strike was their weapon of last re- sort.
 ITO deny the right of workers in our large government agency to organize is to make a mockery of our faith in de- mocracy. If autocracy is harmful to the morale of our alien enemies abroad, then let us not introduce species of it into our largest federal institution by at tempting to disfranchise industrially the army of postal workers
