of late was declared to be the sharp

Industrial uncertainties and falling
off in export business in provisions
were mentioned today as among the
reasons for the continued breaks in
the hog market. Growers were sai'
to be anxious to dispose of all sur
plus hogsowing to the threatened
strike of stockyar and packing house
employees. On the other hand, packers
were hampered by the recent abnor-
NAL weakness of foreign exchange.

children to be entered in school and
was at home but a. short time when

approached her in the yard and took
hold of her. The plea was made to
the negro not to create a disturbance
as the children were in the house and
would alarm the neighborhood where
upon HS CoHipeleu HeF W accompany

The letter was in the nature of a
record of understandings reached at
a conference between the railroad ex-
ecutive and President Jewell and the
executives of the railroad shop mems
unions.
at was manifest to you and your
associates and to me-" writes Mr..
Hines, "that there is a disposition in
some quarters to claim that the rail
roads cannot be successfully operated
on the basis of present wages and it
is equally to the interest of your

istration to demonstrate that this is
not the case and that railroad oper-
alton on the basis of present wages

Won't OyStrikers

Kansas City, Mo.-The Kansas City
Railways company has refused to re-
instate striking employees, as recon-
mended by the national war labor
board. President Kealy notified the
strikers committee when they offered
to return to work on conditions di-
rected by the national war labor board
that the company could not afford
the wage increase and that it "would
be a breach of good faith" if he dis
charged the strikebreakers.
An award was made by the board
several weeks ago. The company has
fought the case in courts, denying the
authority of the board, and is also
attempting to raise fares. Joint
Chairman Taft and Manley charge the
company with being more interested in
keeping wages down than in securing
fare increases and quote Kealy to this
effect. The company's plea before
the courts contain so many "fantas-
tic" statements regarding the alleged
powers of the national war labor
board, that Joint Chairman Taft and
Manly declare "it is difficult to be
patient with it."

Union Telephone Girl
Quits Federal Board

Boston.-Miss Julia S. O'Connor,
of this city, has forwarded to Post
master General Burleson her resigna-
tion as member of the committee ap-
pointed by him to investigate wages
and working conditions of employees
of telephone and telegraph companies.
Miss O'Connor is president of the
telephone operators division of the
International Brotherhood of Electric
al Workers, and in her letter to the
postal chief she hits straight from
the shoulder in regulation trade union
fashion. She informs Mr.. Burleson
that to retain membership on his COM
mittee "would amount to a serious be-
trayal of the rights and interests of
my fellow workers, whom you charged
me to represent" She says the COM
mittee meetings have been infrequent,
it has no avowed policy, its one con-
sistency "has been hostility to the
organized telephone and telegraph
workers." and that it's refusal to-
avail itself of the information, advice
and assistance of the organized work
ers has reduced it to a condition of
impotency.
The postoffice department is
charged with repudiating agreements
and discrimination is employed that
is unparalleled under private con-
troll" while low wages are referred to
as a "disgraceful exploitation" that
should challenge the concern and at
tention of all persons interested in
American standards of life"
Because the postoffice department
has not disavowed discrimination and
a denial of rights supposed to be en-
joyed by citizens employed by the
government, "the odium of this state
of affairs" she says, "must rest upon
the postoffice department"
No statement on the telephone sit
uation would be honest or complete" ,"
she continues, eff it failed to draw the
attention of the postoffice department
to the widespread discomfort and un-
rest that exists among the telephone
workers. The postmaster general can
not be unaware of this dissatisfaction,
since it has expressed itself upon
numerous occasions in strikes and
threats to strike. The situation is no
less acute among the unorganized
workers, save that they lack the voice
and means Of expression which organ
ization brings"
