HINTS TO F. E. U.
Writer Suggests Changes in Consti-
tuition of Union.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Anent the earnest efforts now being
made to increase the membership Of
the Federal Employees Union. may
it not be suggested that in order to
secure the support of the government
employees In practical unanimity. two
things are necessary?
/. Let the Federal Employees Union
rid itself Of all obligation as a party
contributory to any and all strikes
Its constitution now provides that the
union Is assessable by the American
Federation of Labor for strikes over
which te latter. had jurisdiction.
2. Let the Federal Employees Union
recall its recent official endorsement
Of woman suffrage.
Here are two things wholly un-
essential to function the object of
the Federal Employees Union. Why
adhere to them. and thereby ap-
preciably limit the membership Of the
union; for opinions sharply differ as
to the points indicated, and honest
opinions, such as these. should and
must be respected. Let US remove
these flies" from the ointment"
ONE FOR ALL-ALL FOR ONE.
