among postal employees. Flaherty ls

federation Of postoffice clerks.
'"The postmaster general has held
that postal unions are mclean and
their members potential revolution
lists" Flaherty said during debate on
a resolution. He has asked congress
to repeal legislation giving postal en-
ployes the right to organize and to pc
titfon congress. He would deprive
25O 600 workers OF their right OF free
speech"
F1aherty presented resolution ass-
ing that telegraph operators shall have
the right to unionize If the lines are
taken over by the government The
resolution was deferred.
