HITCHCOCK ON eURLEsoN.

There is no wonder that Senator
Hitchcock took occasion to criticise
in the senate the action of Postmaster
General Burleson in taking over the
control Of the cables when the latter
set forth the claim that the action
taken had been passed upon by the
attorney general and been declared by
him to be legal
When Senator Hitchcock declared
that the postmaster general has al
most broken faith with congress. he
must have realized that there was a
difference between such action and
the actual breaking faith, but it is
one of those cases, he apparently be-
!ieves, where he has managed to keep
within bounds but where he must have
been aware of the fact that he was
travelling in shoal water. This seems
10 be indicated by the fact that he
considered it necessary to get the
opinion of the attorney general as to
the legality of his action before he
took it.
The point gAich Senator Hitchcock

Bulletin. to suggest tina there be a

Perhaps it will be no easy task to

Some are ut home now, while it n1FS

the boys return.
1t seems TO me though that some
Saturday afternoon next summer
might be decided upon for such an DC

I, however. merely suggest such a
thing, and if the public favor it. no
doubt a competent committee could
be secured 70 carry out all the details
with regard to time, place, and ap-

I am quite sure that the good peo-

The vote to return tomorrow was unanimous and was taken after the strikers heard the report of a commit tee which conferred with MT. Hines in Washington
 The committee reported he had told them that if his order to return to work was disobeyed the Attorney Gen. eral, whose advice he had sought would have troops sent to New York to take the strikers places tempor- arily.
 The strike was called October II without notice to the director general and resulted in freight embargo be- ing declared by the company.
 The strikers had presented demands to the wage board on September 15 and the strike was called to obtain an i'm mediate decision. According to M- Hines, this was impossible because of other wage questions before the boar and the necessity for completing an inquiry into ctnditions affecting ex press employees in other parts of the country.
