Western Union
Answers Wilson's
Plea for Employees
Refuses to Make Public
the Nature of Its
Reply
Its Position
Issues Pamphlet Telling Why
1t Did Not Accept Labor
Board Ruling

Newcomb Carlton, president Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
said Yesterday that the reply of the
company to President Wilson's request
that it cease to discharge employees for
Joining the Commercial Telegraphers
Union will be in the hands of Mr.. Will
son this morning. The nature OF the
answer he would not disclose.
"To even hint at its contents" he
said, "would be discourteous to the
President"
The request of the President was
that the company accept the ruling OF
the majority of the National War
Labor Board and, withdrawing its ban
on the union, reinstate those members
who had been discharged for joining
the union. The answer of the COM
pany, according TO the reports in some
usually we'll informed circles, will re-
quest further consideration of the
company's position in the matter,
while at the same time expressing the
intention of the company to do all in
it's power to assist the government at
this time.
Company Explains It's Position
The position of the company is ex-
planned in q pamphlet issued by it yes
terday. This, Mr.. Carlton said last
night, is in no sense an answer to the
President, having been prepared and
printed before his letter was received.
In this pamphlet the company presents
it's case up to the deadlock created by
the refusal to accept the. findings Oh
the War Labor Board majority.
The basis of the stand taken by the
Western Union is that the company is
a public service concern on the same
plane as the Postoffice and, in justice
to the public, cannot permit its en-
ployes to become members of an organ
ization whose weapon is the strike. It
is pointed out that its employees have
insurance, pensions and other benefits,
and it is asserted that only 140 at
tended the organization meeting OF the
commercial union, so that the COM
plant made to the Labor Board was
not representative of Western Union
employees.
1t is asserted also that the Com
mercial Telegraphers' Union, which has
only $500 Morse telegraphers out of q
total of 10000 in the United States and
Canada, seized upon the appointment
of the Federal Labor Board as an op-
portunity to strengthen it's present
weak condition in the United States.
Would Tie Employers Hands
If the company has not the right to
exercise it's sincere judgment in pro-
tecting the rights of the public, the
pamphlet continues, but can be forced
to abandon its policies. "then the hands
of the employers are tied and the prin-
ciples of the War Labor Board furnish
a cloak behind which propaganda
for the unionizing of labor in every
industry may be carried on without
let or hindrance."
1t is asserted that the stated policy
New-York tribune., 1918-06-17

ministration, and this implied the right
of normal union activities. Yet for
printing in "The Union Bulletin" a
resolution passed by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, referring to Mr. Bur-
leson, Abraham Greenbaum, of New
York, secretary of the New York local.
was recently "harassed" by postoffice
inspectors until he was forced out of
the service.
a. G. Ryan, president Of the National
Mail Clerks Association, and Fred W.
White, president of the Rural Carriers
Association, were discharged on the
Mr.. Flaherty alleges, for legitimate
union activities.
"For five years." Mr.. Flaherty con-
tinued, "Mr. Burleson has opposed any
wage increase to his employees. 1t is
true that measure now in Congress
will raise the salaries of certain classes
Of employees $500 year, but l happen
to know that Mr.. Burleson wrote per-
sonally to each Senator asking him to
defeat this measure. He has in several
instances managed to decrease wages,
law, by the rearranging of Jobs. And
IN at least one instance, that of the
mail collectors, he decreased wages in
actual violation of the law, from 81 200
to $1,000, until Congress intervened."
MIR. Flaherty spoke of the complaints
OF business men throughout the coun-
try against the incficiency of the mails,
and asserted further that Mr.. Burleson
has deliberately sought and contrived
to deceive the public as to the truth.
ION the day after Christmas last
year." he said, "a statement was given
to the papers that the Christmas mails
had all been delivered. / happen to
know that that statement was written
by the departments press agent in
Washington on December %.
"Mr. Burleson sent a QUESTIONABLE
to number of his postmasters the day
after Christmas asking whether their
mail had been delivered. These men
hold their jobs directly at Mr.. Burle-
sons pleasure, and of course they re-
piled that it had. The postmaster of
Jacksonville, Fla, was one Of them.
1--WE made q little investigation Of
our own. Our Jacksonville men re-
ported that on January 80 there was
sui Christmas mail undelivered
Mr.. Burleson has seriously over
worked his employees, sometimes to the
extent of twelve hours a day. The sick
beneht funds of the New York local
are almost depleted because of the
sickness among its members due to the
nervous strain of overwork. Similarly
New-York tribune., 1918-06-17

the rule giving one days rest in seven
is continually being violated"
Perhaps the most ridiculous feature
of what Mr.. Flaherty terms the Burle-
son "autocratic tyranny" is the petty
censorship of the associations weekly
bulletin. This, Mr.. Flaherty asserts,
is actually censored with the scissors
in certain postoffices before being de-
livered to the men.
References to Colonel Roosevelt's
letter to Senator Poindexter and Con
ring to Burelson, we're recently cut out,
he asserts, by Superintendent J, F.
Keely, of the General Postoffice at New
York.
Mr.. burleson's inspectors, Mr.. Fla
herty asserts, constitute themselves
spies over the union activities of the
employees. The accused employee does
not even see the evidence against him.
-. THE postoffice," Mr.. Flaherty said,
far as lnow, that permits its police
department to run it.
Mr.; Burleson," concludes Mr.. Fla
herty," is an obvious misft in this
government. If he continues in his
present course he will prostitute q
great public utility. He has had no
industrial experience. He has the
viewpoint OF small land-owning law
yer of Austin, Tex. We hold that it is
unsafe to permit a Kaiser to hold
autocratic. political power over men,
ana unsafe to permit Burleson to
hold autocratic power over an Industry
We believe he should be removed 8
speedily as possible"
Inc delegates here agree unanimous
ly with this sentiment. If thew do not
press their demand more beiligerentlv
~ is IN order not to embarrass the
Administration at this time. 'i-o

Roosevelt Sa US
Men, Not Food,
Will Win the War

HARTFORD, Conn, June 16.-"Any
man who says he loves the country
from which he came as we'll as this
country is no better than a man who
loves his WIFE"
This statement, which brought forth
wild applause from 5000 persons on
the campus of Trinity College here
to-day, was the keynote of the address
delivered by Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt, in which he reiterated his plea
for 100 per cent Amercanism and ad-
vocated the Immediate formation of an
army of 100000.
The Colonel passed last night with
his sister, Mrs. William Sheffield
Cowles, in Pennington, and was ac-
companied to the college by Admiral
Cowles. The graduating class at Trim
lty formed only a small fraction Of
the audience on the campus, decorated
with the flags of the Allies.
Takes Biblical Text
"They say | like to preach" began
the Colonel. 81 do, and l am going to
my text this morning from the
Bible"
-. hen moved to the Scriptures stand
and read from 1st Kings, Xxx, H.: "The
King of Israel said to Ben Hadad: Let
rot him that girdeth on his harness
boast himself as he that putteth it
off,"
"There should be a censorship" he
continued, "on the grandiloquent state
ments of what Americans are going to
do.
"Words should be translated into
deeds for the Gettysburg speech was
made possible only by the men who
fought there. The foolish boast that
America would have twenty thousand
airplanes by this summer has stimu-
lated Germany to building and not
Dragging. Americans must not deceive
themselves with the notion that they
have done their duty, for they have
only just begun. No considerable Sec
tion now thinks in terms of profits,
and the pacifists are merely playing
the game of the German militarists.
Urges Army of Five Million
"Internationalsm is now out of place,
and law should be passed at once to
prepare an army of five million men.
The main objection to a pacifst is that
such a creature can do nothing when
at last he does fight. The conscientious
objector should be set digging front
line trenches. The conflict is no longer
three thousand miles away; certain
submarines have brought it to our
three mile international limit

win the war for US. If you are going
to fight, fight hard. Don't hit man

to hit him. but when you do, put him

cal language"

and Means Committee is drafting the
war revenue bill, hearings on which
are expected to end Thursday.
A mass of war budgets carrying un-
precedented amounts is before both
the Senate and House. The s3,oo0,-
100000 sundry civil bill is expected
to be transmitted to the Senate to-
morrow by the House, and the two
principal war bills, the $4,000, 900 900
army supply measure and the $7,O00.-
100000 fortification bill, are expected
to be reported during the week. The
former is before the Senate Military
Committee and the latter before the
House Appropriation Committee
The House is expected to vote early
this week on important Senate amend
ments to the $500, 100000 naval ap-
preparation bill, including that increas-
ing the naval personnel from $1,000
to 131 ,4S5, which is strongly urged by
Secretary Daniels.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-17

OF the Labor Board was that an UNI
pire should be appointed in contro-
versies in which the board could not
reach a unanimous decision. In the
present instance, it is pointed out, only
the votes OF William II. Taft and
Frank T. Walsh, cnairmen of the board,
decided the question against the com
pany, and yet no umpire was appointed.
it is stated that no attention was
paid to suggestion made by the com
pany that Western Union employees by
q secret ballot arranged by the Labor
Board decide the question for them
selves. Attention is called to the coun-
ter proposal Of the company that it's
employees organize among themselves to
deal with the company on matters of
common interest without joining the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union of
america.
