WIRE DECISION
AWARD FAULTY
War Labor Board Requests
Review of Burleson' S Set
Element Of Dispute.

The War Labor Board at its last
meeting discussed number of COM
plants against the wage settlement
for telegraphers made by Postmaster
General Burleson January /, and voted
to place the facts before Mr.. Burleson,
II was disclosed yesterday.
Mr.. Burleson has not replied to the
inquiry of the Labor Board, but teleg-
raphers believe the facts presented
will force the board to intervene and
perhaps rule against a decision OF a
government official.
The award made by Mr.. Burleson
followed the lines laid down In a re-
quest submitted by the Association or
Western Union Employees and is said
to have been sanctioned by their en-
ployers. Under the award. men not
in the employ of the companies six
months ago receive no benefits. This
is said to discriminate against num-
ber of employees of the Western Union
who were locked out during the year
because they encouraged unioni5m. AL
though the railroad operators. were
given advances averaging 90 per cent
in the award of Director General Nc
Adoo last year. the commercial men
under the Burleson award received
only a maximum increase OF 10 per
cent.
In addition to urging upon the War
Labor Board the necessity Of review
ing the case. the members Of the Com
mercisl Telegraph Operators Union OF
America are bringing pressure to bear
for a Congressional investigation and
are planning the adoption of petition
calling upon President Wilson to re-
move Postmaster General Burleson.
The petition, 1t is thought, will be
presented to the President

ate Attempts Ford-New-
berry Probe.

The Ponerene resolution calling for
an investigation Of the election OF
Truman H. Newberry to the Senate
from Michigan was blocked by Re-
publican Senators yesterday. They
gave notice to the Democratic side
that they will start a fiibuster II
necessary and hold up all the big
supply bills to prevent the resolution
from coming to a vote.
II Is not probable that any action
at all in the matter can be taken by
the present Senate in view OF the

CATION Is made. II will be done by the
next Senate in which the Republi-
cans will be in the majority.
The threat to hold up all the busi-
ness of the Senate rather than per-
nit a vote on the resolution was
made at the end OF a two-hour de-
bate IN which Democratic Senators
pleaded with the Republicans to per-
nit the investigation to be held mere
ly FOR the purpose OF preserving all
the evidence; none of the advocates
cd to give the committee power 10
pass upon Mr.. Newberry's right to a
seat in the next Senate.
Senator Townsend, Of Michigan, who
will be Newberry's colleague in the
event the latter Is seated. was
adamant, however. in his determine
tion to prevent the resolution from
reaching a vote. He notified the DEM
ocrats that he had more than five
hundred letters from Michigan voters
wE.ch he would insist upon reading in

rSOlution was pressed.
Senator Reed said II this course

pTiation bills could be passed. To this

replied that il would be better for
the Senate to go ahead with the sup
ply bills Instead of wasting time
or Il matter which does not concern
the present Senate" He said that
many Of Mr.. Newberry's friends on
the Republican side believed him to
be an honest gentleman" and that
he did not believe It fair to criticise
mis- candidacy and say nothing about
the expenditures made by Henry
Ford.
Senator Reed scored the opponents
of the investigation and said they
had descended to tactics similar to
those Of a lawyer who has a bad
case"
