DR.. Butler Told To Leave
The Parish.

We are informed that DR.. l.. A.
Butler, colored Doctor living in
Breaux Bridge was served notice
by some white persons to leave the
parish and not wishing to have
trouble with them, he left Thurs
day. We have known DR.. Butler
for several years and have never
heard anything against him, he
respected and was looked upon as
a good man. Unless the Doctor
was guilty of some offense that
should have been dealt with by
the courts, We believe it was a seri-
Gus mistake to force him to leave
this parish, as man like him, who
showed a public spirit and patrio.
tism among his people during the
war, being leader among them,
had large inf uence in keeping
our negroes here in our fields
were they are greatly needed. This
action was ill-advised and we fear
will have no good result among
the colored population who shoul,l
have the assistance and protection
of the white people until they
have done wrong.

Fifth Liberty Loan Campaign,
Starts, With Us, Tuesday
April 18th.

Please allow me to say wore
through your columns concernin,
the 9TH Victory Liberty Loan.
am glad to report that the pros
poets for this loan in spite O
many prophecies to the contrary
are growing brighter every day
With less hinderance and greater
resources than during the 4tl
loan, a failure to float the Victory
Loan can have only one explana.
ton viz: The fact that war being
over, we have cooled in the ardoI
OF our patriotism, or lost interest
in the tremendous issue at stake.
Now let us think for a moment
how failure in this loan will re-
fleet upon our people. LIST, 1t will
convict us of spasmodic patriotism
and dim the lustre of our past re-
cord in these matters. End, We
will be open to suspicion that We
are ungraleful to our men of the
army and navy who have wrought
so splendidly in the cause of hu-
man liberty. and Indifferent to
their return. 3rd, 1t will show
that, while we were not willing for
our boys to stop of a complete vic
tory, we are slackers enough to
quit before the job is done. No
citizen who has felt un-
der obligation to invest in previ-
Gus loans, can reasonably feel un-
der less obligation to invest in the
present issue. Your patriotism is
less than 100 per cent if you fail
TO invest as far as your ability in
cash and credit allow. Let it be
said as credit to our government
that in financing the great world
war it has at the same time given
the people an opportunity of in
vestment in securities that are con-
sidered, by all business man as un-

Al Nelson, Of Erie, drove the car

lighting the present nationwide
strike, as officially announced by
Postmaster General Burleson, through
the public press.
1--WE claim as justification for the
strike that the Postmaster General,
since he assumed control OF the wires
systems, has at all time refused to re-
ceive and consider our complaints OF
discrimination against union en-
ployes and suggestions for adjustment
OF wage scales, but instead has adapt
ed a policy of retaliation by inaugu-
rating rules and ratings which re-
duced our earnings, and increased our
daily performance, thereby intensity
ing the unrest, already acute.
1--WE also claim that Mr.. Burleson
has used his personal and official in
fiuence to prevent an adjustment Of
differences between the workers and
their employers.

I'VE call your attention to the fact
that approximately $4,000 CONNER
cial offices at railroad stations in
this country are closed to the public
as a result of the strike, that COM

situation from an Industrial view
point Is becoming more alarming
daily, and we ask you what is your
position in the matter?
I'VE would appreciate having this
read into the Congressional Record"
Striking telegraph operators were
more optimistic today over the out
come of the WaIkout than at any time
since the strike began. They Insisted
that the Postal Telegraph Company
was badly crippled and that the
Western Union could not take care of
half of its business.
Telegraph company officials, on the
other hand. insisted their business
continued normal and that there was
no change in the situation.

BURLESoNS CONCESSIONS
LIKELY TO HASTEN END {
OF TELEGRAPH STRIKE

CHICAGO, June 16.-SettIement OF
the general strike OF telegraph oper-
ators is believed nearer today as the
result of action OF Postmaster Gem
eral Burleson in granting to the In
ternational Brotherhood OF Electrical
Workers the right OF collective bar
gaining, recognition Of their union,
and adjustment OF the wage scale.
Officials Of the commercial telegra-
piers union contend that Burleson'B
action in the electrical workers case
establishes a basis which also must
be recognized in considering the de-
mands of the telegrapherS.
The announcement at Atlantic City
by Frank Morrison, secretary OF the
American Federation Of Labor, that
Burleson had promised to give orders
for conferences between officials Of
the. telegraph companies and repre-
sentatives Of the union also Is re-
garded as another step toward early
adjustment Of the situation. Officials
of the union here were without de-
tails Of the plan announced by Nor
rison, but were hopeful that IL would
result in a settlement Of the strike
At a mass meeting Of strikers here
it was voted to send a cabIegram to
President Wilson setting forth their
side of the controversy and appealing
to him to intervene for an equitable
adjustment Of the dispute.
A completei tte-up of the telegraph
and telephone systems Of the coun-
try was averted. by the action of the
Postmaster; General in granting the
demands OF the electrical workers.
This action resulted in heads of the
brotherhood resembling general strike
orders.

SENATE ATTITUDE
WORRIES BRITAIN

LONDON, June 16.-Great Britain's
newspapers are dealing lengthy
with the possibility OF the American

The majority Of the press warned
the British people against mlsunder-

'Tf the nations OF the world only
understood the international politics
OF each other, many causes of mis-
