AGITATORS RESPONSIBLE

Much of the dissa tisfac tion which now
prevails the letter reads, lis not due -
any failure on our part to remedy claims
as to kages or hours or working condt-
lions, but is due entirely to the few agi-
tators and the propaganda which they
have continuously conducted. Many Of
these persons have no connection with
the telegraph or telephone service, have
no interests in its successful operation.
and their livelihood depends on their
ability to engender belief in the minds
of the employees that they are serving
| them, which they seek to do by fonent-
| ing discomfort and dissatisfaction In at
tempting to do this they do not hesitate
to misrepresent our policies, the condi-
tons existing in the service, or matters
affecting employees.
| Mr.. Burleson alludes to orders which
| have been issued from time to time to
the various wire companies under federal
| control and points out that these orders
prove that employees have the privilege
of joining labor unions if they wish to
| do so, and also that employees have been
permitted individual or collective barg-
| aiming regardless of membership IN
unions He denies the truth of the wide
! ly-heralded statements made by the few
agitators that employees dismissed because
of union affiliations while wire compan-
les were under private control" have been
refused employment because of those al
| filiations. His letters contains reemploy =
ment statistics intended to show no sucE
discrimination was maintained.
| Mr.. Burleson refers to strikes in va
| rious parts of the country and declares
| the governments policies were such that
union and nonuion employees were treated
with the same fairness, adding the
| method of the few agitators and labor
| leaders in dealing with the members OF
their union is truly autocratic and hurt
] full to many employees and cannot be
| condoned or looked upon with favor by
| the government.
| The governments wire administration
Mr.. Burleson said is endeayoring as
rapidly as possible. to remedy bad work
| ing conditions and to right inadequate
/ wage rates

BY Associated Press

New York, March 20.-Post-
master General Burleson, in a
letter made public here today
to Secretary of Labor Wilson
regarding the labor situation in
connection with the govern
ment' control of telegraph and
telephone wires, charges that
a "few agitators" are continu-

which engenders unnecessary
dissatisfaction among en-

The postoffice departments policies are
misrepresented, Mr.. Burleson declared, so
that the impression is created the govern

who are members of labor unions.
The Postmaster General asserts equal
treatment in the matter of wages, condt-
lions and consideration of grievances is
given both to union and nonunion en-
ployes, and denies there has been2permit-

because of labor union affiliations.

 TRAFFIC RULES
 FUR THIS CITY

New and drastic traffic regulations for automobilists, are to be adopted by the city of Bisbee, according to ac- ton taken at last nights meeting of the city council. City Attorney Sam Kyle offered a rough draft of the San Diego ordinance, from which the Bis bee rules will be framed.

 A, fine, the councilman said, would be fneffective' A fine and imprison- ment both should be provided, he urged, and on the second offense a long prison term should be provided and the driver prohibited from again using his car.

Burns Gets Third
 Chance at Lincoln
 On Saturday Night

Bobby Burns, who soaked" Ref cree Brown after his fight with Ralph Lincoln at Nogales recently is going to have an opportunity to prove his claim of superiority over Lincoln, for they meet for perhaps the last time in this section, at least, next Satur- day night at Nogales. Burns thinks he can whip Lincoln and the fight next Saturday night will undoubtedly be one of the fastest that has been staged in the southwest.
 Speaking of the difficulties of the boxing game in this section and, for that matter, anywhere, Burns ex pressed the opinion that no-decision matches would be the best plan. This would leave the decision to news paper writers and to the fans them selves, and would eliminate what he calls the greatest menace to the game, and apparently sometimes to the referee e-dissatisfaction with ref erees' decisions.
 "A referee may be an expert, but no man can give satisfaction in the boxing game, and this is specially true where the knowledge of the fans of the technical side of boxing is limited, said Burns. "No matter how good a referee is, he will only last so long. Supplementing any scheme for no-decision matches there should be a boxing commission to supervise the game and prevent stalling.
 "I still think I should have had the decision over Lincoln, and Brown still thinks 1 am wrong," said Burns. q realize that l made an unfortunate mistake when I allowed myself to lose my temper at the referee, and am the last person in the world to want to do anything to injure the boxing game.
 "I thought the first bout I had with Lincoln at Bisbee should have been draw, for I made him do all the work. At Nogales I had mapped out campaign to get Lincoln and I cided that I would do the work for the first four rounds and then make Lincoln work three; then being rest, ed I would take the fight to Lincoln in the last three rounds-and I be lieve. I did However, the referee thought differently.
 What many of the fans do not know is that, realizing even before my blow was released, that 1 was making mistake, I pulled the blow and apologized immediately to the referee Brown will bear me out in this"

Wedding Settles Dispute Over Child

Justice of the Peace James Allison officiated last evening at marriage which he had brought about between Eltubio RubeiO, a Mexican youth, and Miss Uicanor Rios, girl who carried in her arms a baby of four months. The girl complained yesterday that Rubeio had betrayed her and refused to contribute to the support either of herself or of the child, of which she said he was the father. She said she was willing to marry him.
 Rubeio was arrested yesterday by Constable Sheppard and placed in the city jail. At first when questioned by Judge Allison he denied he was to blame. but finally admitted he had given the girl money when the baby was first born.
 Later he consented to marry the child-mother and promised to support her and the baby, and the ceremony was performed last evening.

Modern Efficiency
 Has Nothing on Old
 Fashioned Spanking

Mrs. Marie Oldfield, no relation to Barney, but a speed marvel herself. had the police jumping sideways at the station yesterday and finally received an old-fash- toned spanking at the hands of Chief Kempton. The woman, who had been arrested the night be- fore on a charge of intOxication, in Brewery Gulch, woke up in Q bad disposition yesterday and flooded the jail by turning on the water taps and keeping them open.
 When the police found out where the water came from she was warned not to do it again, but no sooner had they left the jail than she opened up the faucets and in a short time the jail was again flooded. The chief then put the handcuffs on her and warned her to be good, but though her hands were locked behind her back she succeeded in backing up to the faucet and turning it on again.
 It was then the chief decided a spanking might do Mrs. Oldfield some good, and it did. After an old-fashioned but stinging rebuke at the chiefs hands she agreed to be goody Yesterday she for feited a bond of $25 in police court.
