Burleson's statement on the wage

I'VE did refuse to assent to a pro-
position made by Burleson's operat-
ing board of Bell Telephone and
western Union officials to increase
telegraph rates but this never reached

The statement declares the action

of the government and that his
purpose evidently is to destroy the
Postal Telegraph system" and SAYS
the men who were appointed to
take over the property know nothing
