UNREST NOTED
IN MANY POS

At the regular monthly meeting
Of the Washington Postoffice Clerks
Union resolutions were adopted IA
voring the early enactment of legis-
lation by Congress granting wage
increases to postal employees. The
resolution recited the fact that men
cannot now be induced to enter the
postal service owing to unattractivs
wage standards and working con-
ditions
The union also indorsed the Sterl-
ing-Lehlbach retirement bill as
originally introduced and as approv-
ed by the House committee, which
fixes sixty-two years as the age lim-
It. for postoffice clerks and letter
carriers. The resolution pointed out
that postal employment was too ar
duous and too grinding TO permit
many employees to benefit under the
terms of the retirement bill as pass
ed by the Senate, in which the age
limit is fixed at seventy years. ~
That thousands of experienced
postoffice clerks are leaving the
service to seek more desirable en-
ployment in private industry, was
the statement Of Thomas +. Flan-
erty, secretary-treasurer of the Ma
tional Federation of Postoffice
Clerks.
Il am reliably advised that ffty
clerks resigned from the Washing
ton office during the month OF
March," said Mr.. Flaherty. This
includes temporary and auxiliary
sisrks- In the New York post
office clerks are resiEning at the
rate Of ten a day. Unless Congress
acts promptly the service will en-
urvly COLLAPSE because of de-
pieted personnel. Within The next
few months tons of election liter
aiure will swamp the mails and
add to the burdens of the made
quate working forces. Already the
eight-hour law is being ignored in
the larger Offices. and severe over
time requirements Is a factor In

An Smile hike up the Potomac

The youngsters now are SO hard

them, they say.

Scoutmaster Vernon Bailey, is3t

the interest shown by the boys. A
long series OF hikes is planned. The
object is to teach the youngsters

Ties Hands OF Nation.
But the defeat of the treaty
makes the nation incompetent to
perform its duty to the world as
well as powerless to safeguard the
rights OF its own citizens. Tho
world is threatened with chaos. De-
mocracy is not as strong in Eu-
rope today as It was when the
armistice ushered in the worlds
greatest thanksgiving day. Be-
sides the natural reaction that Is
always to be expected after any
great forward movement. the
friends of democracy have been hu-
INFLATED by the attitude of our gov
ernment. A number of nations ac-
cepted the democratic idea of gov
crnment at the estimate that we
placed upon II and started out in
good faith to follow our example.
They have had a desperate strug-
gle. Monarchy has surged back on
one side and, on the other, Bolshe-
vism has threatened the very exis-
tence of law and order. Their re-
publics have needed a friend and
counsellor--a disinterested nation
that could hear sympathetically and
advise wisely-but our nation has
been for the time being powerless
to render the assistance deserved
and so badly needed. While other
governments, less democratic than
ours, have been able to agree to
terms of peace and formally bring
the war to an end. we have spent
the time in fruitless debate.
No League without America.
A league of nations is conceded
to be impossible without the active
presence and positive influence Of
our nation. The United States can
make the league of nations a real
forum for the settling of interna-
tional disputes; without our nations
participation, the league is but an
enlargement of the old balance OF
power arrangement. The allies and
their enemies are gradually. drift

new evidence Of the inability of the

American efnciency will help
French farmers at their spring
work in the Department Of the
Aisne this year. Nine American
women. headed by Miss Anne Nor
gan. executive chairman of the
American Committee for Devastated
France. sailed from New York this
week.
Their efforts will be directed to
organizing farmers syndicates.
They will act as agents for the syn
dicates in importing American farm
ing machinery to the devastated
areas. Free instruction will be
given the French farmers in scien-
tihc farming as practised in the
United States. Extensive use OF
machinery and business manage
ment Of farms is hoped for.
The natives Of the Department Of
the Aisne. one of the richest asri-
cultural sections in France. will be
able to cultivate their fields this
year for the first time since the
German advance in 1914. Many
homes in the ruined villages have
been rebuilt temporarily so that the
farmers can be near their crops.
