NO CHANGE IN POLICY,
SAYS POSTAL Chief

The claim that Postmaster General
Burleson's recent order that checked a
strike of electrical workers was a rec
ognition of trade unionism was consid-.
cred so important by the postal chief
that he wrote a Washington newspa-
per to correct this impression. He
says his policy has not changed.
The order provides in effect, that
where telephone companies negotiated
with trade unions before wire control
they will continue that practice. This
paragraph reads:
where prior to government control
company dealt with representatives
chosen by the employees to act for
them who were not in the employ OF
the company, they shall hereafter do
So"
In no part of the order does Mr..
Rurleson indicate to anti-union COM
panies that they shall change their
policy toward recognizing representa-
tives Of their employers who are not
employed by the companies-or, in
other words, to deal with the unions.
Neither does the order contain any
information that the postal chief has
changed his attitude toward unions
Of government employees. This atti-
tude was shown last August in let
ter to officers of the letter carriers,
railway mail clerks and postal en-
ployes who asked him to recognize
these unions.
Mr.. Burleson refused to deal with
any person not in the postal service
and called attention to his last annual
report in which he stated that he fav-
ored postal employees uniting for their
'social and mutual welfare, and ap-
pearing before committees in congress
when requested"

playing at the Orpheum, who plays the
wife Of the peppery Col. Popoff Of the
chocolate Soldier" is a pig farmer,
and has pig ranch near San Louis
Monterey, Cal. Several years ago, Miss
Blair got the pig fever.'' which it
seems is prevalent in some sections Of
the United States, and takes its victims
with a hold as deadly as the familiar
chicken farm ambitions frequently
found among denizens of the suburban
wards Of cities and towns.
Miss Blair's pig farm had a most
humble start, with a couple of Mr..
and Mrs. Poland China and Berkshire
progenitors. The progeny grew until
the budding porkers overspread the
small tract of land wherein they were
housed. Constantly increasing profits
enabled Miss Blair to purchase more
proud, peerless possessor of more than
thousand pigs. And it might be
added, incidentally. that the "GintIe-
man who pays the rint'' has been a
profitable product these past few years.
Just now. Miss Blair is marketing g
the extreme elder and the more youth
full citizens of her piggery, and she has
been much exercised during the week
to have the separation made correctly,
wherefore her interest is divided be-
tween the chocolates of the play, and
the pigs on her ranch in southern
California.

GOING AHEAD ON A GOOD ROAD.

ana taking ABOUT gong forward.
Going backward or standing still
ism t in the mind Of anybody.
That is, it isn't in the mind of any
body, except those who can make
money out of getting other people to
stand still or go backward.
Working people are not thinking
about those things. They think about
going forward.
Working people have got to the
point where they know it is possible
to get more out Of life than most work.
ing people have been getting.
They have got it in their heads that
there must be way to get more out
Of life
And really it is a good idea-good
for everybody.
1t IS god for civilization, today and
tomorrow and next day.
Many employers-those who think
honestly-know all about this trend Of
thought and most Of them sympathize
with it. They do not think it impos-
sible for working people to live better
lives.
At this point comes something else
to think about.
There are two ways to 60 ahead.
=, :1H- H.
in swan por on the edge of a high
cliff.
The other is to pick good, sound,
well-made road that goes through to
destination without any places where
you will get wrecked and smashed up.
If you get wrecked you have to stop
going ahead. At best you have to stop
and fix the wreck. Most likely you
are put out of the going entirely. That
is bad.
There are some who are so eager to
20 ahead that they are perfectly will
ing to start down road thate looks
good at the outset, but that leads slam
bang into a mud hole and through that
right straight off the edge Of a high
cliff.
That road is the road to unreason,
Of Bolshevism, Of quick-fire revolu-
tionary action. It is the road against
the use, of which the overwhelming
majority Of people stand in solid o.
position.
There is a minority that is willing
to try that short cut to quick action.
If they could have their way and get
any appreciable portion Of the labor
movement to start with them there
would surely be grand smash.up-and
no more progress!
There is the other road-a good, SEN
sible kind Of q road. It has some rough
spots, some places where the going is
slow and painful, but it keeps on going
and it leads to the destination. There
ism It any impossible swamp and there
isn't any cliff.
This road is charted according to the
sound, constructive program Of progress
laid down by the American Federation
of Labor. It is about the surest and
soundest thing in the industrial life
of the world today.
All working people who are think
ing Of going forward at this time ought
to study seriously and earne2tly this
problem of roads.
And all employers who are thought
less enough to think progress can be
stopped by them ought to have look
likewise.
The one sure thing is that progress
is going to be had.
The safe road of constructive prog
ress along sane and possible lines will
lead all humanity safely through to
better and finer civilization Let us
all 60 ahead on good road.
