ACCUSES FEW AGITATORS'
OF STIRRING UP TROUBLE
Postmaster General Burleson De-
fends Federal Control of Tele-
graph and Telephone Systems.

NEW YORK. March 21-Postmaster
General Burleson, in a letter made
public here. to Secretary Of Labor
Wilson. regarding the labor situation
in connection with the governments
control of telegraph and telephone
wires. charges that a ''few ag1tators"
are continuously conducting propa-
ganda which engenders unnecessary
dissatisfaction among employees. The
Post Office Departments policies are
misrepresented, Mr.. Burleson declares,
the government discriminates against
employees who are members of labor
unions.
The letter deals with a memoran-
dunn prepared by Felix Frankfurter,
chairman of the War Labor Policies
Board. relative to telephone and tel
egraph workers. which Secretary Will
son had asked the Postmaster Cen
eral to consider. Mr.. Burleson de-
clares that Prof. Frankfurter in
studying this situation did not con-
suit the Post Office Departments wire
control board. of which Mr.. Burleson
is chairman. and that Prof Frank
furter consequently failed to learn
facts.
Mr.. Burleson refers to strikes in
various parts Of the country and de-
clares that the governments policies
were. such that union and nonunion
employees were treated with the same
fairness, adding that "the method of
the few agitators and labor leaders
union is truly autocratic and hurtful
to many employees and cannot be con-
doned or looked upon with favor by
the government"

GERMAN SEES HOPE
OF HOLDING COLONIES
schuecking Surprised at idea of
Prosecuting Ex-Kaiser-Praises
Swiss League Plan.

BERN, Thusrday. March 2o.-In an
interview printed in the New Gazette
of Zurich Prof. Walther Schuecking,
q member of tho German peace dele
CATION, declares that he does not be-
lieve that President Wilson's program
can be invoked to deprive Germany OF
all her colonies.
"Mr. Wilson has promised broad,
generous settlement to peoples like IKE
rests on the efforts Of all the great
nations. The question Of indemnity
appears to have been settled in prin-
ciple, all that remains being to nx
the amount AS to the league OF ma
tions.. Germany is sincerely desirous
Of collaborating in the organization.
and I hope the Paris covenant may
be sensibly modified"
Prof. Schuecking says he thinks the
Swiss plan might profitably be con-
suited. as it is, in his opinion. quite
remarkable both on judicial ana
political viewpoint. He says the real
perialistic policies for the benefit Of
the smaller nations"
II am astonished that the idea of
prosecuting former Emperor William
and his generals Is seriously enter

Strong Representations Made.

Although the signature was not real
ly binding, strong representations
were made to the government by
Great Britain, by the United States,
through Mrs. Elizabeth Washburn
Wright, and by influential Chinese
themselves. that the new republic
would suffer in the eyes of the civil
ence if it repudiated it's officer and
allowed the reopening of the traffic on
any grounds. In fact, four provinces
in which the syndicate was even
licensed to sell, had taken strong
measures to boycott the traffic in
every possible way.

BURNED IN CHINA
President Makes Good His
Promise to Destroy
Big Stock.

The promise made in 1918. by the
President of China, Hsu Shih-ch'an
that he would have the existing stock
OF opium in that country. amounting
in value to $14,000,000, publicly burn
ed, has been kept, according to a re-
cent letter from Rev. E. w. Thwing,
oriental secretary Of the international
reform bureau. written to organiza-
tion headquarters in this city and
made public in the latest bulletin of
the bureau.
The burning took place in Shanghai
under the supervision of government
omcials and of an eminent Chinese
physician sent from Peking to guard
lest any other article be substituted
and given to the flames. This costly
bonfire is regarded as China's ratifi-
cation Of opium prohibition. A large
amount Of paraphernalia previously
mad been burned, but this seems
to be the first news received of the
burning of the actual stuff
Deserves Recognition.
The act deserves special recognition
IN view Of the financial weakness of
China's government, according to the
1ar eastern bureau, maintained in New
York for the promotion of the inter-
ests OF China, commercial and other
wise.
Rev. Wilbur F. Craft, superin-
tendent Of the International reform
bureau, gives the following brief re-
sumo of the history of opium prohibit
ton In China to date.
The prohibition was to have gone
into effect March 81. A Shanghai
combine" however, possessed 10000
chests and in some way obtained
license to dispense it for medicinal
purposes, which would amount. in
reality, to a reopening of the traffic.
The alternative was it's purchase by
the government, and in some manner
the vice president of China was per-
suaded to sign a document guarantee
ing such purchase, showing a naive
oriental conception as to the author
ity Of such an officer under a de-
mocracy.

Of the late Mrs. Morrsey against Edward Morissey chief Of
detectives, who is charged with killing his wife, in suit in

Attorney Peter reen who has been retained by the alleged
killer in his efforts to share the estate of his late wife, made

The appearance Of Officers Powell and White at the pro-

upon the basis of that struggle: and
that when they do SO organize they
will then have the power to free
themselves and put an end to that
struggle forever.
The unity of labor, economic and
political, upon the basis of the class
struggle. is at this time the supreme
need Of the working class. The pre-
yailing lack of unity implies lack of
class consciousness; that is to say,
enlightened sclf-interest: and this
can, must and will be Overcome by
education and organization. Expert
ence, long, painful and dearly
bought. has Taught some of Us that
craft division is fatal to class unity.
TO accomplish its mission the work
ing class must be united. They must
act together; they must assert their
combined power, and when they do
this upon the basis of the clans
struggle, then, and then only, will
they break the fettecs OF wage slav-

Eugene V. Debs' Daily Message
From NEW YORK CALL.

"The working class are in an over
whelming majority. They have the
numbers. They ought to have the
power. And they would have the
power if only they were conscious Of
their interests as a class.
Every effort is put forth by the
capitalist to prevent workingmen
from seeing the class struggle. The
capitalist insists that there is no
such struggle. The editor in the en-
p!oy Of the capitalist echoes no class
struggle. ;" The teacher, professor
and the minister. all of them depend
ent upon the capitalist for the chance
to make a living, agree that there
are no classes and no class strug-
gle. In unison they deelaim against
c.ass agitation and seek to obscure
class rule that it may be perpetuated
indefinitely.
We insist that there is a class
struggle; that the working class
must recognize it; that they must
organize economically and politically
