Massachusetts Wants To Run Phone
System for u Little While.

Boston, April 1S.-Governor Cool
idge today asked Postmaster Burleson
whether he objected to the state TAX
ing over the operation of the telephone
system during the disability of the
government to furnish service in New
England. The senate adopted an or
der asking President Wilson, thru Sec
rotary Tumulty, to confer upon Will
liam r. Driver, general manager of
the New England Telephone & Tele-
graph company, authority to settle the
strike of telephone operators and cleo
trical workers which had, caused
suspension virtually of telephone COM
munication in five of the six New
England states. While the senate was
thus engaged, a resolution was intro
duced in the house declaring that the
strike was not only serious handicap
to the transaction of business in the
endangering the successful promotion
of the victory liberty loan. The reso-
luton called upon the postmaster gen.
eral to bring about an equitable and
speedy settlement agreeable to all con-
cerned, with special consideration of
the public interests, or to submit the
question to arbitration. Without dis
cussion the resolution was referred to
the committee on rules.
In his telegram to Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson, Governor Coolidge said:
For the duration of the disa bility
of the United States government to
furnish telephone service to the. New
England states, do you object to the
commonwealth of Massachusetts TAX
ing over the operation until the fed
era1 government can again resume
it? Conditions here imperatively de-
mand immediate resumption of tels-

HUN HINDERING WORK
But the Reports Are for the Most Part
Propaganda.

London, April 1S.-The frequent re-
ports which have come almost daily
for the last fortnight from German
sources to the effect that there is
constant difficulty in the unloading
of American food ships at Bremen
and Hamburg because of strikes are
believed here to be part of the current
German propaganda. Direct reports
to, American naval headquarters here
sent by American officers over lines
of communication controlled by the
navy discredit all of these reports. The
only real difficulty in unloading
steamers at German ports occurred at
Danzig several days ago, but this
trouble lasted only one day. Since
then the German workmen at Danzig
have been working ten hours to get
the needed food out of the ships. As
far as is known, this is the only place
in Germany where laborers are work.
