Too Much to Ask.
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-12-21
POSTAL CHIEF HOLDS FAST.

In his annual report to Congress,
Postmaster General Burleson reaf-
firms his opposition to unions in the
port last year. The postmaster gen.
eral says:
'The views of this department on
organizations of postal employees
were fully set forth in the last an
nual report set of the postmaster gen.
eral. Nothing has transpired during
the past year to change the views"
Last years views, which the post
master endorses, are:
"The conduct of these organizations
at this time is incompatible with the
principles of civil service and with
good administration of the postal serv-
ice. They are fast becoming a men
ace to public welfare, and should no
longer be tolerated or condoned. 1t
is earnestly recommended that the
provision in the act of August "a,
1912 (giving employees the right to
petition Congress and to affiliate with
the A. F. of L., be repealed"
Regarding this attitude of the post
master general, Secretary-Treasure
Flaherty of the National Federation
of Postal Employees, said:
The postmaster general is the one
prominent man in public and private
life who has refused to change his
opinion during the past year. No
other citizen can be found who will
say that the unions of government
employees are menace; but, like the
boy in our school books, who stood on
the burning deck, the postal chief
stands alone"

LOW WAGE FIRMS
OUGHT TO QUIT
SO SAYS THE EXAMINERS
OF WAR LABOR BOARD.
In the Hearing Before Judge Samuel
Alschuler in Chicago in the Present
Packing House Controversy This
Statement Was Made.

William F. ogburn, examiner for the
federal war labor board, declared that
companies not able to pay SLIGO a
year to adult male employees, or what
he termed the budget of reasonable
comfort and health" should ''be put
out of business BY the state" at the
hearing in Chicago before Judge Sam
uel Alschuler, federal arbitrator of the
demand of packing house employees for
higher wages and improved working
conditions.
This is not an excessive figure"
he said, but know that public opin-
ion is not strong enough to force these
companies out of business by boycott
or similar methods. Perhaps public
opinion is not even in favor of this
figure, but living below this budget
is not living decently."
Professor ogburn was formerly on
the faculty of the Washington State
University, and testified as an expert
witness for the employees regarding
living conditions.

some instances these extended over a

the wounded are received at one land

Cross I have had a whole-hearted de-
sire to help-in my limited capacity
in any way possible-that most splen-
did of all organizations which, minis
tering to the sick, the wounded, the
injured, the victims of flood or fam
inc, and all others in need of imme-
diate or first-hand assistance, makes
the American Red Cross the unpara-
goned Samaritan of the world. That
desire was accentuated by personal
contact with and observation of the
manifold duties of the Red Cross
nurses and the work of the Red Cross
ambulance corps affairs afforded me,
with the other members of the Ameri-
can labor mission to European coun-
tries where we visited several United
States hospitals "over there" In the
limited space which has been allotted
to me, will confine myself to a few
incidents which came under my OBJ
servation in the three months that I
spent among "our boys" along the
several battle fronts
First, a most gratifying and per-
sonal incident was my meeting with
member of our union. Mr.. Arthur
McNichols of Chicago, who, wounded
in battle in France, after first aid at
tention, was brought to the base hos
pital at Portsmouth, England, for
treatment. Here the most careful and
thoro attention was being given to
our boys. Brother McNichols was pro-
fuse in his praises of the nurses who
attended him. He told me that if his
leg was saved it would be entirely due
to the tenderness, care and attention
given by the nurses in charge of his
case.
Thru the courtesy of the base hos
pital officials ] visited the different
wards. In all / found the same care
and tenderness exercised as described
by Brother McNichols. Cleanliness
and strict attention to duty were man.
fest everywhere. There were times
when it seemed to me that many Of
the nurses must break down. But
none faltered. Each and all applied
themselves so assiduously TO their
work that there was not one instance
in which our boys failed to receive
the attention required.
On the return of the American labor
mission from the American front in
France, we visited the base hospital
located at Bazoilles, France. Here we
beheld rows of beds occupied by
wounded and suffering humanity, some
of them the most distressing cases the
world has ever seen. Everywhere,
from bedside to bedside, was the Red
Cross nurse, performing her duties
with celerity but thoroness, and pa
tience which was the admiration of
the American labor. mission. Every
wish, every whim, of the patient was
given prompt attention.
new experience awaited me in
Italy. Here on Mt. Grappa, in the
Alps, at an altitude of 5000 feet,
amid the snow, found the American
Red Cross ambulance workers. The
difficulties under which these men
work are greater, from a certain view
point, than those of their fellow work
ers on other battle fields, as the meth
cd of transporting the wounded is, of
necessity. of an entirely different char
acter. The battles fought here were
fought on crags and in gulches, and
when the wounded were taken back,
the most expeditions manner of trans
portation was the use of the telleffer-

her carry them 10 the hammock and
there she tied them TO the edges. To

Canalization of the Rio Sonora
and reclamation of large area OF
land in the vicinity of Hermosillo,
down the river toward the gulf, is
projected. For some time there has
been at the city named a commission
of Japanese engineers, representing
one of the great capitalization syn
dicates in the empire, who have been
making a reconnaissance and study
of the river and the lands available
for irrigation. After that work is
completed the commission will hold
a conference with another commits
sion, named by the governor of the
state, formulating a project to COM
pass the enterprise. The local COM
mission consists of Ing. Luis r.
Leon, chief of the work for the de-

ence has completed it's work the Jap
anese engineers will return to Los

GREAT NEED OF TIN
War Has Diminished Supply Of Indis-
pensabIe Metal, and So Immense
iy Increased Its Cost.

Probably no market has been more
vitality affected by the war and less
subject to control than the tin mar
ket. It is not really an American in
dustry, for an Insignificant amount Of
tin is produced In the United States
as compared with the total consumed.
This country is almost absolutely de-
pendent on foreign sources for its sup
plies. But the metal is vital neces-
sity at all times and in many direc-
tons. It is particularly war metal
in that its use is essential In produc-
ihg tinplate for food and other con-
tainers and for bearings for machin-
cry.
In no other metal has such COM
plete chaos developed as In tin as a
result Of war conditions. 1t is the
only metal which is exempt from price
fixing by our own government, be-
cause about 90 per cent of our con-
sumption comes from foreign coun-
tries, where Its production and sale
are controlled by foreign interests.
Only its distribution here has been
regulated as a war measure.
One Of the largest importers has re-
Gently said that 1t would probably be
a long time before 60-cent tin would
again be seen. Before the war the
metal was selling at little over 80
cents a pound In New York. 1t has
advanced by leaps and bounds until
a month ago the New York price was
nominal at over 81 pound, with the
future shipments from the east up to
95 cents-both unheard of heights.
This has been caused by the fact that
the worlds output Of tin has not been
enough. In fact, statistics show that
In recent years this has been at about
a standstill.
