no JUSTIFICATION FOR STRIKE
SO Says Burlcson, Speaking OF the
Walkout of Wire Operators.

| Washington, June 12.-Declaring
! the strike Of wire employees, which
| began yesterday,was wholly without
4 !ustiticatiOn,' Postmaster General
Burleson said in statement to-day
that mo amount Of pressure will
avail to make the control board ex-
tend or go beyond rules and regu-
lations affecting employees laid down
during the war by the national war
labor board.
Mr.. Burleson said that his infor-
nation was that telegraphic traffic
mad not been, and would not be, de-
layed. Government business, which
J makes up the bulk Of that handled
by the telegraph companies here,
was reported moving as usual to-day,
and at the State Department 1t was
said that there had been no inter-
ruption Of cable communication with
Europe.
The present strike Of wire en-
ployees is wholly without justiflca-
tion," said the Postmaster General
1T started In Atlanta because, it was
claimed, employees OF the Southern
Bell Telephone Company had been
dismissed solely because OF afflliation
with the labor organiza ton.
'Fhe complaint was forwarded
promptly to postoffice inspectors for
investigation. While the investiga-
ton was in progress. and before the
investigators had time to ascertain
the facts. sympathetic strike
against the Western Union was called
in the Southern States. An insign f.
cant percentage Of the operatives re-
spected this order to strike. Mes
%?%es were not delayed and business
was transacted as usual. In tho
| meantime 1t was ascer: aimed hat
only seven Employees Of the Southern
''"ll Telephone Company had .cn
dismissed during the month Of May,
as compared with an average Of FIVE
for the two months preceding, and
! the investigation Of these cases so far
completed shows that no liscrimina-
ton whatever has been practiced
against employees Of that company
because Of union afIiliati0n.
"The Senate committee having re-
ported bill in favor Of turning back
forthwith the wire systems to their
owners. and the House committee
. having indicated purpose to take
/ action along similar lines, an order
was issued continuing the operation
Of the wire systems for the remaining
period OF government control under

order NO. 1888, dated August, 1918.
This was necessary so that the COM
panies could again take up their own
Operations when the period Of govern
ment control ended and could resume
full control Of their properties with
| as little confusion and disturbance os
possible, and further so that they
could promptly take steps to protect
their finances from the consequences
Of too sudden action on the part of
State utilities commissions I'm the
change Of rates which had been fixed
during the period Of government con-
troll.
After this order was issued the
present strike was ordered. Our in
formation Is that the telegraphic traf-
fic has not been delayed, and the in
formation received indicates that It
will not be delayed. During the Pc
riod Of government control the rules
| and regulations OF the war labor
board have been strictly observed and
| will continue to be observed during
the continuance OF government con-
troll, but no amount Of pressure will
avail to make the wire control board
extend or go beyond those regula-
tfons.
when the period of government
control ends, the wire systems will
be returned to their owners intact,
with their operating organizations in
tact, with the values OF those prop
critics not having been in the slight
est impaired"

 OF HEzTELEPHONE

Within 8 few days we hope to be able to place in your hands our November. 1919. issue Tele- phone Directory. If. after the distribution, any subscriber has not been supplied, we trust that such subscriber will notify us so that the oversight may be cor rected.
 It is the desire of this com pany to render as prompt. court eous and efficient service to the public as possible. dn order to do this your cooperation and as- sistance will be greatly appreci- ated. By first consulting the Directory and giving the proper number of the connection de- sired. in the case of local calls. you will be doing your part to- ward reducing to a minimum the number of wrong connections and at the same time enable us to serve you more promptly. In placing long distance calls for non-subscribers, any information at hand as to probable location of the party will often-times ex- pedite the completion of the call.
 The "Ring-off" habit is a good one to cultivate-this only re- quires a quarter turn. and serves to inform the operator that the conversation IS finished and will tend to prevent a "Ring back" on a dead connection.
 Thanking you in advance for any cooperation that we may receive at your hands tending toward improvement of the ser vice, we are. very truly yours for service.
