Mississippi Valley Presents
National Problem, Mayor
Tells Commission.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, July 1.-THE Federal
Government should treat flood control
along the Mississippi River as a
national problem or abandon the
Mississippi River Valley, Mayor
William Hale Thompson Of Chicago.
chairman of the recent Chicago flood
control conference, told the Mis-.
sissippi River Commission here,
The commission, he added, has two
great duties before it, the first the
immediate duty Of restoring the
levees before the next rise of the
river. and the second. the formation
of adequate plans for future flood
prevention.
At Cross Roads.
I'VE must deal with results as we
find them" Mayor Thompson said.
"The Nation stands today at the cross
roads It can either stand idly by,
indifferent, and continue its present
policy of inadeQuately dealing With
this problem while the agencies Of
nature, which should be our friends
and not our enemies. continue their
steady march TO the inevitable de
struction of the worlds richest val
and the final paralyZatlon OF -Ameri-
can industry and commerce; or il can
spend the money and time necessary
to create an agency that Will master
this river and its tributaries"
The Chicago flood control confer
ence, attended by representatives. of
President Coolidge and of the States,
business and industry, decided, he
said. that flood control was the OBJ
legation of the Federal Government.
and he added that the commission
he addressed should set up first a
comprehensive plan of flood control,
based upon information and obserya-
ton. and should make such recon-
mendationS to Congress although the
cost should he great. He also asked
the commission to include in its poll
icy the provision that the sole re-
sponSibility of flood control should
be barn by the National Government,
4 Sound Investment.
discussing the possibility that the
uusnate cost of flood control might
be great, he said:
THE expenditure of any sum, even
a billion dollars, now would appear
to us TO be sound investment, If
1t results in preventing floods"
The "neighborhood policy" of food
control in effect in the past, he main
tanned, had resulted in ''meddlesome
ineff1ciency" and had prevented the
adoption of adequate and complete
plans for flood control.

Boston.-The post office should be
operated for service and not for pro-
fit, declared the national convention
of the Railway Mail Association, affil-
lated to the A F. of L.
The convention endorsed the poll
cies of its officials and executive
committee since the last convention
and called for salaries and work con-
ditions of postal employees that are
based upon American standards.
Other resolutions call for the dual
hour and mileage bill for road clerks;
a time differential for night postal
workers; more rigid steel mail car
law; higher salaries, vacation and
sick leave for substitutes; a 44-hour
week for terminal, transfer and office
clerks, and a $1,000 retirement an
nuity with provision that so per cent
of the annuity shall go to the widow
upon the death of the annuitant.
Following the convention the exec
utive committee reelected Henry w.
Strickland editor of The Railway Post
Office, official journal of the associa-
ton. Mr.. Strickland has served in
this position for the past II years.

land industrial secretary. J. F. Ben

within its rights by applying to the
state courts.
Attorneys for the miners insist
that since the complaining company
is Pennsylvania corporation and
that since the strike is directed at
production and not against the ship
ment and sale of coal in interstate
commerce, the federal court is with

Arguments on this point remain to
be offered by both sides.
The object of the company is to

energies back of the United Mine
Workers in the miners fight against
the most powerful corporate interests
in America.
Phillip Murray and Thomas Kenne-
dy, fresh from the scene Of the great
struggle at Pittsburgh, appeared be-
fore the council and described condi-
tions there, where the miners are
struggling to wrest victory from the
gigantic Mellon and Steel Trust in
terests.
The miners representatives told
the council Of the court fight that has
been added to the other obstacles
thrown in the way of the miners by
the operators, in which the writ of
injunction has been brought into play
in manner perhaps more extreme
than ever before.
The council, while announcing no
definite plans, has let it be known
that organized labor's full support
will be given the miners and that
this support will be given in such a
manner as to constitute an effective
aid to victory.
In addition to discussing and acting
upon the mine strike, the council de-
voted more than week to the pre-
paration of the report which is to be
rendered to the Los Angeles conven-
tion. This report will survey the
work of the year and make impor-
/ tant recommendation for action in

Davidson, Levin and their followers

dealt leniently with them heretofore,
permitting them to retain their union
cards despite the fact that treason
was proved against them at previous
trial.
They were deprived of an oppor-
tunity to run for reelection because
of their refusal to sign a pledge of
loyalty to the union. That was the
only punishment meted out to them
following their first conviction. 1t
now has been determined to go the
limit with them.

Postal Clerks Defended by
Congressman Kelly; Reflect
George, Demand 6-Day Week

BY international Labor News Service.
M. Clyde Kelly, of Pennsylvania, a
member of the postoffice committee
of the house, spoke to the convention
of the National Federation of Post
office Clerks, National Federation of
Rural Letter Carriers and the wom-
ems auxiliary of these unions, at a
banquet in his honor, rendered by the
federations.
Congressman Kelly said the big
question before the nation now is
whether the postoffice shall be run at
a profit or for the service of the
American people. Some people, he
said, contend that every new service
and improvement in the working con
ditions of the 365,000 employees r1ust
be met by higher postage rates. They
point to some $39,000,000 yearly
which is given as the deficit in postal
operation "This is delusion and the
postal deficit is a myth" Kelly de-
clared
Points to Free Services
'The postal system IS made up en-
tirely of free services and partly free
services" the speaker pointed out.
For instance the franking and penalty
privileges given the government de-
partments means a less Of $4,000 600
yearly. The free-in-county privilege
to small weekly newspapers means a
loss Of $10,000,000 or more each year;
favored rates given scientific, reli-
gious and fraternal publications
means another loss of $17,000,00e
each year Free rural delivery,
which is a national service, means a
difference between revenue end ex-
penditures of $70,0O0.d 900 annually.
"These are al coinmcnda5le serv-
ices and no on. desires their curtail-
ment. | do col5enc, howe er. that
these public services should not be
charged against public service and
thelr cost Shoui not be borne by the
postal employees.
Mr.. Kelly declared the only sensible
course is to pay the costs of the serv-
ices out Of the national system. Such
a system of bookkeeping, he said
woud prove that the postoffice de-
partment is a most profitable busi-
ness. 1t would permit the reduction
of certain postage rates, which are
now higher than the traffic will bear
and it would mean improved condi-
tions for the great army of postal
employees.
The speaker strongly advocated the
raising of the retirement pensions of

Chicago.-Communist officers GUST
ed from control of the Chicago joint
board of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union have start
ed a secessionist movement predicat-
ed upon downright scabbery and have
established headquarters from which
to conduct their nefarious operations
at 28 South Wells street, only few
blocks away from 328 West Van Bu-
ren street, where the legitimate and
recognized Offices have been located
for several years.
|. Davidson and Joseph Levin, the
former the deposed organizer of the
joint board and the latter the ousted
manager of the board, are carrying
on the attempted but so far unsuc-
cessful work of destruction under the
orders of the Red dictators of Mas
cow, Russia. Davidson is generally
referred to as "the commissar" and is
said to be the recognized supreme
representative of the Third Interna-
tional in so far as the garment work
ers of Chicago are concerned.
Seek to Promote Revolt
Davidson and Levin are making
desperate efforts, through infamma-
tory, untruthful and misleading ap-
peals printed in English and Yiddish,
and by means of speakers of several
other languages, to arouse the mem
bers to revolt against the information
al union. With the exception of a
handful Of deserters, the members are
remaining loyal, however, and the re-
ceipts have been greater during the
first month under the new manage
ment than during any of the previous
eight months.
Offer to Cut Wages
Molhe Friedman, international or
ganizer, told International Labor
News Service that Davidson and Le-
vim have been offering to supply union
employers with help at a lower scale
of wages than that provided for in
signed contracts and have offered to
make other concessions that would
violate present contractural relations.

these overtures, she said, and have
declared their willingness to do busi-
ness only with the regularly elected

STARVATION
Is Faced By Thousands Of
British Coal Miners

London, England. - Unemployed
coal miners total nearly $4,000 and
day by day the roll is growing.
Poverty exists in many districts.
This is especially true in Wales
where coal miners are hardly able to
buy food. The purchase of clothes
and other necessities are out of the
question.
The coal owners have no remedy
for appalling conditions which follow
the strike of last year when the min
ers were defeated, wages lowered and
an extra hour added to the work day.
The unemployed receive a small
out-of-work benefit from a fund that
is contributed by employers, employ
ed and the government. 1t is esti-
mated that one-third of the unem-
ployed miners have been stricken
from the benefit roll because they are
out of work so long they are not en-
titled to further unemployment pay.
