STAND-PAT SENATORS
SHIELD POSTAL VETO

WASHINGTON, June 26.-While
postal workers are incensed at the
presidential veto of their pay bill,
they are not unmindful of the old
guards shifty tactics in the Senate.
The veto was read to the Senate six
hours before adjournment on Satur-
day, June Z. The Senate had time to
act, but it sidestepped, though there
were but three votes against the bill
when it passed that body. There were
but six votes against it in the House.
The Senate reactionaries knew the
veto would be overridden if Senators
were permitted to vote. Parliamen-
tary tricks made this possible.
Postal workers are particularly re-
sentful at Senators Edge of New Jer-
sey, Moses Of New Hampshire, Phipps
of Colorado and Sterling of South
Dakota. The first three framed the
bill and the postal employees insist
they should at least make an attempt
to have the Senate act on the veto.
Senaor Edge left Washington for
Atlantic City the night before the
veto and did not remain at his post
until this legislation was finally en-
acted. Senator Moses claims to be a
friend of the postal workers. He
made no attempt to bring the veto
message to a vote.
-
Phipps. The postal workers call at
tention to his prediction promises
in their behalf, and to his oversight
of these promises while making a
successful fight to get favorable ac-
ton on his pet bill for the relief of
millionaire mine owners in Colorado.
Senator Sterling, lameduck, chair
man of the Senate post office commit
tee, and who is now seeking an am
bassadorship, was careful not to Of
fend the White House.
Postmaster General New has beer
a consistent foe of the wage increase
The resentment of postal workers
is almost equalled by labor editors
who see their long fight for the fed
eral employees won and lost.
Both the postal workers and tn,
labor editors point out that everyon,
who had any part in knitting the in
crease, loudly protest against tn,
strike as an offensive weapon. Ye
they disregard every decency whel
approached in a respectful, orderl!
manner by a group of non-strikl
workers.

magazine of the Amalgamated Asso

ers, declared that President Coolidg,

CHINESE CREW MUSTERED
UNDERGO LANGUAGE TEST

A sworn complaint alleging viola
tion of Sec. Is of the Seamen's Act
by the American S. S. Norlina of
New York, manned by Chinese, was
filed with the local collector of Gus
toms on Friday, June 20.
The crew was mustered on Tues
day, June oath and passed the Ian
guage test by answering Eyes" or
mo"
A lifeboat drill was also held, the
crew being divided in two, each group
having charge of one of the life
boats, with the result that it took
one part of the crew six minutes to
get their lifeboat ready to load and
lower and the other part of the crew
ten minutes.
It was decided however, by the
government officials that the con-
siderable time spent in preparing the
lifeboats for emergency could not
possibly reflect on the excellency of
the Chinese crew and the fault was
attributed to the lifeboat gear.
Sec. Is of the Seamen's Act pro-
vides that no less than rs per cent
of an American vessels crew must
understand the language of the Of
ficers and that no less than IS per
cent must be of rating less than
able seaman.

Help Kidneys
By Drinking
More Water
Take Salts 10 Flush Kidneys and Help
Neutrallze Irritating Acids.

Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and inflame, causing a burn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad-
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread; the
water passes sometimes with a seald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in viding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it because they can't control urina-
ton. While 1t is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
often one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Begin drinking lots Of
