BURLESON
FRIEND OF FORCE

Postmaster General Burleson has
apparently turned down the tele-
graphers because they have not tied
up all the telegraph companies. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Burleson's reasoning
the only thing to do is to make the
tie-up complete"
This statement was made yester-
day by S. ]. Konenkamp. president
of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union of America. He added. Mr..
Burleson stands as the apostle of
farce. and I am decided that moth
ing but force will compel him to do
Justice to the telegraphers. There
fore, as 1t is only through force
that we can get a square deal we
will have to go as far as possible
along those lines to get it.
Mr.. Burleson has spurned all ef-
forts by the telegraphers for arbi-
tration, conciliation and mediation
on the ground that they are not
entitled to more consideration be-
cause they have not tied up all of
the telegraph companies"
Frank Morrison, secretary Of the
American Federation of Labor. will
arrive here today for a conference

the Chemical Foundation. of which
he is president. by Representative
Moore CRepublicaD were answered
yesterday in a letter to Mr.. Moore
from Joseph H. Choste. jr., general
counsel Of the corporation.
The latter declared that. contrary
to Mr.. Moore's assertion on the floor
of the House, the Chemical Founda-
tion's sole purpose was not to engage
in the manufacture of dyestuffs, but
to license firms and corporations to
manufacture under its patents. More
ocer, he added, the Foundation was
carefully organized ''in such a way
that nobody can possibly make money
out of it," Its capital stock Of $500, 900
is divided among more than 500 con-
Germs.
The Foundation, Mr.. Choate says,
was organized to take over the pat
ents for the manufacture of dyes,
confiscated from the Germans who

The British Embassy yesterday gave
out a statement to allay any fear in
this country that Great Britain was
responsible for the sinking OF the Ger
man feet, interned in Scapa Flow.
Great Britain, it declared, recon-
mended the surrender of the fleet and
rot its internment as one Of the con-
ditions Of the armistice, but was over
ruled by the allies. The statement
reads in part as follows:
1T should be clearly understood that
the decision for The German ships 10
be interned and not surrendered was
made by the heads Of the allied gov
ernments.
The naval adviser Of the admiralty
recommended the surrender and not
inteinment, but this advice was over
ruled by our allies. The decision then
taken has Of course controlled the sit

of scuttling impossible.
Great Britain acted in this matter
