Wants 5O9,OO0 Men-Says 5OO,-
 900 Is Too Few
NEED EDUCATIONAL CLAUSES
Secretary Says Only Way to Have Regular Army Is to Offer Men An Opportunity to Receive EducatiOn- Naval Bill Passes With Many Cuts.

Washington, June 16.-Secretary Baker appeared today before the sen ate military committee insisting that congress make provision for an army of 509,000 men until permanent pol icy can be adopted. He added that the force of 300,00O proposed in the annual army appropriation bill as passed by the house was inadequate.
 More Men Are Needed.
 Secretary Baker told the committee that in addition to the Army of Occu- patton in Germany a sufficient force must be maintained for Mexican bOr- der duty and to take care of vast stores of governm ent supplies, both in France and in this country.
 Every effort is being made, he said, to dispose of all supplies and other holdings in France so as to relieve about 100000 men from duty. At present the government has 1,500- OOO, ,0OO invested in supplies overseas, but at the request of the French gov ernment this will not be dumped on the market.
 Asks Adverse Report.
 Secretary Baker asked the commit tee to dissent from the house rider preventing the department from buy ing real estate. He said the amend ment would "embarrass the depart ment and cause loss to the governme ent which would be simply prodigious."
 Elimination by the house of funds for educational and recreational facili- ties in the army also was opposed by MT. Baker.
 The only way we will be able to have a regular army" said the secre- tary, Twill be by making the army an educational opportunity. If we have learned a great lesson from the war, it is that young men in the army are anxious for educatiOn."

 Collective Bargaining to Electrical

 Atlantic City, June 16.-POStmaste General Burleson's order granting the right of collective bargaining to eleC- trical and telephone workers, signing of which on Saturday averted a na- tion-Widc strike, applies to all other employees under the pOstOffice depart ment, including telegraph operators and postal employees, according to a report made today to the convention of the American Federation of Labor by P H. Mccarthy of San Francisco, chairman of the committee that went to Washington under direction of the convention.
 Should Apply to All.
 This declaration resulted in a sharp debate by delegates. It started when P. E. GainOr of the letter carriers asked if Postmaster General Burle- sons orders applied exclusively to telephone employees and he added he could see no reason why all postal em- ployes should not be given the same

 Strike Not Discussed.
 John Lewis, vice president of the mine workers asked what effect this action would have on the existing strike of commercial telegraphers MT. Mccarthy said that while the tele- graph strike was not discussed during the conference with the postmaster general the convention was convinced that the questions involved in the tele- graDhers' strike as well as ay other that might arise would have to be dealt with in accordance with order issued Saturday by Postmaster Gen eral BurlCSOn.
 Lewis Gets Curious.
 Delegate Lewis said he wanted to know positively whether, in accord ance with Saturdays order, telegraph CTS actually now had the right to con- fer with the pOstmaSt general with a view to securing a durable settle ment of their strike. He said he wanted to know Whetner the post / mastor-generaI had made concessions to the electrical and telephone work CTS at the expense of telegra phers and other postal employees. He added he was inclined to doubt the good faith of the postmaster general

 Thomas FlahertY, of the postal em- ploves secured the floor and an nounced he had his suspicion regard ing 'the sudden conversion of the postmaSte CT general to the principle of collective bargaining.'
