DEFENDS POSTAL
DEPA RTMENT IN
COMP ERS CHARGE

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-Post-
master General Burleson in a state
ment Sunday night defended his ad-
ministrp ton OF the postofice de-
partment and his policy in opera
ton Of government controlled tele-
graph and telephone systems against
charges made Saturday by Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, that the post
master general was carrying out ian
archaic, autocratic policy" in the
conduct Of the postal telegraph COM
pany and the telephone service and
was completely out OF sympathy
with the trend of American thought
Mr.. BurIeson, in his statement, con-
tinued his criticism OF what he
termed, certain selfish publishers"
The postmaster general said the
value and importance of the ser
vice rendered by Mr.. Samuel Com
pers during the recent war was sur
passed by few men i'm America, ."
and that the labor official is entitled
to our grateful appreciation for this
service. but this does not imply that
there should be an acceptance of
his views on all other issues"
Legislature Fixes Salaries.
GAS the postmaster general sees
it, said Mr.. Burleson in reply to
the attack made by Mr.. Gompers on
his labor policy. lit is little short of
silly to talk about collective bar
gaining with an executive officer by
civil service employees under his ad-
ministration. The salary and wages
TO be paid such employees. the hours
of labor and working conditions are
fxed by the legislative government
branch and it is for the executive
head OF a department to strictly fol-
low the law in respect thereto. In
the matter OF fixing compensation
the postmaster general has always
believed that sound public opinion
could safely be relied upon to see
that full justice is done on those
who served the government.
Give Benefit Of Judgment.
II is the duty of an executive Of
fcer to give the legislative branch
when asked. the benefit of his judg-
ment on this subject. and the post
master general has recommended,
as the records show, that the gov
eminent be a model employer. that
compensation for those who serve it
be fixed upon a generous basis. in
fact compensation Of laborers and
clerks should be fixed at from fifteen
to thirty percent more than is paid
for similar service in private en-
ployment, but beyond this it should
not go. That the legislative branch
can be relied upon to act generously

Special TO The News-Times:
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Mem-
bers OF the woman's auxiliary of the
democratic national committee will
be present for the first time at a

Dental suffrage to women. This

May % and 20.
In Indiana, as also in Illinois, Mis-
souri,, and several other states. the
participation of Negro women in the
next presidential election presents a
new and serious difficulty which
democratic managers will have to
overcome. Republican leaders ex-
press confidence that this addition
TO the BLACK vote" will be repub-
lican just as the present male Negro
vote is. They believe also that they
will be quite as able to organize

PLENTY OF WATER

City Water Works Board De-
GIareS Situation Is Now

After making a careful survey of
the city the members Of the city
water board say that South Bend
has 5000 unused water taps at the
present time and that this will take
care OF the proposed expansion Of
the city during the coming summer
The significant thing in regard to the
survey is that in the past the lines
have been so constructed that they
will take care OF the expansion.
Tile survey OF the water board was
necessitated BY so many complaints
on the part OF property owners that
the waterworks department is not
aiding in the city's proposed expan-
sion.
Members OF the board say that
they are ready to extend the water
mains at any time that the needs

pansion in undeveloped parts Of the
