November 4, which will be election
day. He will have his workers at
every election precinct in the coun-

Everybody will remember tn. Won
derful work done by the Red Cross
during the war, but we must also
bear in mind that the Red Cross also
has a peace time work that must be
carried on. Who knows but that our
own community, may at some future
time call on the Red Cross for help,
as so many have done in recent
catastrophesf
1t is said that all one needs is a

hoped that every person in the coun-
ty will respond when the R. c. girls
solicit your membership in the 1920
drive. When the campaign closes let
us all be wearing a Red Cross button.

RAIN INTERPRETERS WITH RACES

Rain interfered with the local race
meeting last week and the meet was
a disappointing one from a financial
standpoint. The races did not prove
as popular here as had teen antici-
pated and it is doubtful if the
weather had been good if the associ-
alton would have made any money.

BURLESON ASSAILED
BY POST IN LETTER
Told He Continually Hides
Behind Wilson's Back.

Charles johnson Post, director OF the
Publishers Advisory Board. issued from
his offices In the Flatiron Building. yea
terday, a letter which he has sent to
Postmaster General Burleson, in which
he declared that Mr. Burleson has hid
den behind the Presidents back. and had
used Prussian methods In his conduct OF
his department. His controversy with
Mr.. Burleson grew out OF the fact that
the Postmaster-General had referred 10
the funds raised to repeal the postal zone
rate law. and had challenged Mr.. Post to
produce an accounting. This Mr. Post
promptly agreed TO do, and in turn chal-
enged Mr.. Burleson to explain his con-
rection with convict labor in Texas. Mr.
Posts letter says:

REPLY TO GOMPERS
Postal Chief Says Collective
Bargaining Is Out Of
Question.
DEFENDS WIRE CONTROL
Again Lays Blame for Criti-
cism Of Him to the
Publishers.
Spseiai DespatcA TO The Sew.

WARRINGTON, April 27.--Postmaster-
General Burleson replied to-day to the
attack on him by Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation of
Labor. After complimenting Mr.. Com
pers on his patriotic war work he said
the labor chiefs views as he saw It
were little short of silly as applied to
the postal service.
Mr.. Burleson makes q complete re-
statement of his views to the effect that
collective bargaining as applied to Gov
eminent employees 10 unthinkable. He
defends the wire control system and
then declares that the entire matter II
only side Issue and goes pertinaciously
back to the alleged efforts of the pub
fishers 10 make him walk the plank.
Replying directly to Mr.. Gompers the
Postmaster-General said!
THE Postmaster General undoubtedly
IL at variance with Mr.. Gompers on the
matter Of the relation between the Gov
eminent and those who are employed In
its service. As the Postmaster-Ge General
sees II. It Is little short OF silly to talk
about collective bargaining with exec
utive officers by civil service employees
under his administration.
The salaries and wages to be paid
such employees. the hours of labor and
working conditions are fixed by the leg
islative branch. and II Is for the execu-
tive head Of a department to strictly fol-
low the law In respect thereto.
TN the matter Of fixing compensation
the Postmaster General has always be-
lieved that sound public opinion could
safely be relied upon to see that full
Justice is done those who serve tho
Gov eminent.
THAT the legislative branch can be
relied upon to act generously 10 shown
by the postal establishment in which
within two years increases have been
granted aggregating more than $4,000

The attitude Of the Postmaster GEN

employees and their affiliation with out
side organizations having the strike as a
means Of redreseing grievances. has
long been known. has been fully set
forth In his annual reports, and not
withdrawing the fact that the Postmas-
ter-General has been denounced by the
American Federation of Labor in ma
tional convention his views on this sub
ject have undergone no change.
THE Postmaster-Genera maintains
that the strike on the part Of employees
OF the Government or those working for
the Government Is not permissible. In
fact Is unthinkable and that the utmoat
danger to the Government 10 involved
IN any suggestion that there should be
recession from this position and that
as far as he Is Concerned there will b.

any other consequences"

Self-Ssepin cling Italians.

Certain residents of Philadelphia Of
Italian antecefents and sympathies
have decided not to parade. as they
had planned, in behalf of the Victory
Loan. and as individuals many of
them will refrain from subscribing
for the notes, their purpose being to
make manifest their disapproval Of
President WusoN's stand with re-
gard to the disposition Of Fiume.
This Is most regrettable, but 1t H.
Illustrates strikingly the determination
Of Italians generally to maintain the
demand Of Premier OBIANDo's Gov
eminent for the Adriatlc port. The
Italians intend to deny themselves
an investment most attractive to
then. highly profitable and thor.
oughly secure, to demonstrate to
America and the world the depth Of
their feeling on this subject.
Their abstention from investment
in Victory notes will not, OF course,
make the loan a failure. They are
perfectly aware Of this. But their de-
liberate decision not to benefit by be-
coming owners Of these unprecedent.
edly attractive securities. their self
sacrifice In behalf of n political as
piration, Is convincing evidence Of
what Fiume means to Italians gen.
orally, and may DO accepted as fore
shadowing the message the italian
people will send to the Peace Con.
ference when Premier ORLANDO ap-
pears before the Parliament In Rome
tomorrow.
