 Dis'uSScS Labor Unions.
 AIr. Burleson again asked repeal of legislation permitting utilization of organizations of postal employees with labor organizations (which sanction recourse to the strike or boycott to enforce their demands
 "L again call the attention of con- gress to the impropriety of govern- ment employees oWng allegiance to any organization which might stand between them and the government and to the actual menace 10 govern mental authority which is involved in such aftiliation,' MT. Burleson said.
 'rThe avowed purpose of labor or ganizations is not alone to advance the social and economic welfare of members of their order but to eXer- cisO a coercive influence upon the en- plOyer to compel submission to their demands. The strike and the boycott are weapons designed to be used m attack or in resistance. The govern ment of the United States is not to be attacked or resisted by any citizen of the land. Surely no such special privilege is reserved to those who, through the nature of their employ ment, are sworn to serve the govern ment itself and owe to it the special alleeiance of service duty
 FWhatever interest labor may claim in the products of it's toll, it can not be claimed for government employees that they acQure a larger interest or greater power in the government than that of other citizens, because of the character of their employment.
 "Government employees should be perm itted to organize for their social and general welfare, to appear before committees of congress, and to fur nish information conceInng the postal service of which they may have knowledge.
 "Thc enforcement of the principle that government employees should not hold an utilization incompatible with their obligation to the public serVlcc can not be distorted into a reflection upon the efficiency and loyalty of the postal employees, whose devotion to public duty under the trying test ot war was conspicuously demonstrat cd But the principle is one which can not be prudently disregarded.'

The law which fixes a zone rate for advertising mat ter is enlinently fair, as the rate of postage is increased in the proportion that the publication is commercializel and according to the distance it is transported; and tho publisher, therefore, to a certain extent fixes for himself the rate of postage on his publication.
