AIR GRIEVANCES
Speakers Warn Convention
Against Seeking Help Of
Third Party

Members of the National Feder-
alton of Postal Employees, in con-
vention at the EbbItr. were warned
yesterday by members of Congress
against joining with a third po-
litical party" to achieve recogni-
tion of their grievances. They were
advised to make use of their power
at the polls but to confine its use to
the two present major political
parties.
Edward Keating, secretary of the
salary classification commission, as
sured the postal delegates that a
number of drastic reforms in the
civil service system, which will
benefit them. are now under con-
sideration.
I'VE have visions of a new civil
service system in this country" he
said. I'VE believe there should be
a civil service system in operation
which will help every ed-blooded
American to form a career for HIM
self.
Grievance Court Urged.
We are also convinced that civil
service employees should not be placed
at the mercy OF any bureaucratic
tyrant, no matter what his position
might be. The civilian employe Is
entitled to a fair hearing before an
impartial court If he has grievances"
The postal employees were warned
by Representative O'Connor, OF Louis
lana, against striking except as a
last resort" He advised them to
concentrate their strength at the
polls.
II am a Democrat" he said. but
if the Democratic party should mani
fest hostility toward you and your
cause, 1 say beat the party"
Salary Relief Promised.
Representative Nolan, of California,
also warned the delegates against
forming a third party. while Repre-
sentative Madden. of Illinois, assured
the men that Congress would grant
them some salary relief.
The chief demands of the postal en-
ployes are for better working condi-
tions, time-and -a-half for overtime,
higher permanent wage standards,
double time for Sunday and holiday
work, elimination of unnecessary night
work. Saturday half holidays through
out the year. thirty days sick leave,
exte nsion of the annual vacation to
thirty days, rest periods of minutes
each hour for all employees engaged in
work requiring close mental applica-
ton, retirement for aged postal work.
ers. a court of appeals on which the
employees will have representation to
consider grievances, and recognition
of postal organiza tons. locally and ma
tionally. by the Postoffice Department.

MAY TRY TO BLOW.
UP zEPPELINS.
Suspicion Aroused That Ger
mans May Duplicate Scut-
Ting Of High Seas Fleet.

London, Aug. 9.-(By Telegraph
From N. Y. World, Copyrighted. lin
the British and. other allied services
there is a suspicion that the Germans
may attempt to blow up their Yep
pelins and other airships rather than
surrender them according to the
terms of the peace treaty,
An allied commission has been
created to go to Germany as soon as
peace Is ratified by the three sigma
tories to make preparations to take
possession of the airships and sea-
planes. The News correspondent
learns that the United States will be
represented on this commission by
naval and military experts. 1t is ex-
pected that some members of the
commissipns wall arrive at.the Cologne
hendquarters tomorrow or Monday.
In some German newspaper re-
Gently there have been suggestions
that Admiral Won Reuters dramatic
scuttling of the German high seas
fleets should be duplicated in dispos-
ing of the aerial fleet. 1t is known
that pan German influences are at
work trying to bring about the ex-
plosion of the great Zeppelins over
the Baltic sea by means of time
fuses, AS most of the big airship
sheds are near the Baltic, this could
be done easily; but to explode them
in their hangers would probably do
heavy damage to life and property,
as was the case during the war when
one Zeppelin blew up in it's shed and
caused the explosion of two others
in sheds more than half a mile away,
killing many men.

Hungarians to endeavor to put their
country on new footing so that Il
