oute there may have been between the /
postmaster.gencra and the publishers
to whom he refers. The most recent
example of MIR. Burleson's autocratlc
nature does not come as surprise to
those in the labor movement who have
come in contact with his administra-
ton.
Labor was long ago forced to the
conclusion that Mr.. Burleson was com
pl.t,N out of sympathy with the trend
Of American thought and was totally
urable to connrebepd what America
meant when il declared war upon au-
tocracy everywhere Mr.. Burleson
needs only a wider field and a better
nnnortupity to ru him for succession
.o some of tbc worlds best known but
unlamented exdictators The only
difficulty in Mr.. Rurleson's way is that
.he world has received the decision that
II wants mo- more dictators. The Unit
ed Stat, postofrica deparrmeut /. one
of the very few places i'm the world
not vet i'm accord with that decision

before him their complaipts i'm order
that they might have his consideration
and in order that am adjustment might
be brought about through democratic
procedure Of negotiation. These plead.
ings for an opportunity to be heard
have been in vain. as they have been
frequent.
My own experience with the post.
master general has been Of similar
nature. Acting for the workers. I
have had a number of conferences with
him in which have endeavcred to
induce him TO grant the opportunity
to his employees to bc heard through
their representatives. These efforts of
my own have also been i'm vain.
