Other Unions
The other unions in the industry
are the Commercial TelegrapherS
Union, an A. F. of L. union, and
the United Photographers of Amer

T. U. is weak shell of less than
1000 members, and offers nothing

ers sense the need of strong in
dependent union. They feel that
only through such an organization
will their best interests be served,
especially if the expected merger
between the competing companies,
the Postal Telegraph and the West

The Young Messengers Show the
Way
But it is the young messengers
who are showing the way to the
older workers in the struggle for
better conditions. They have al
ready won important concessions
through their militancy.
Recently in Minneapolis the
Postal Telegraph messengers, in a
spontaneous strike which tied up
the entire Postal Telegraph sys-
tenn, won wage increase. In De-
troit. a few weeks later, the West
ern Union messengers struck and
won recognition of their indepen-
dent union and 20 per cent wage
increase. In Cleveland strike for
higher wages and better conditions
won some concessions.
In New York the tremendous
growth and the great activity of

tempt to break up the union.
The Western Union Company at
tempted to keep the exploited mes
sengers from the t. M. U. by forcing
them into the company union,
where they would be stified into
meek submission. But they soon
perceived that they could get moth

that their just demands for SIS a
week, a 40-hour week, vacation with
pay, etc, were disregarded and
laughed off. Already the more

consin is an ardent champion Of much the present Administration is attempting to do, and in his l campaign for reelection he will say so.
 The same is true of Cutting of New Mexico, also up for reelection. SWELL SCOPES AT PATRONAGE
 The G. O. P. high command Goes not like the plan of Presi- dent Roosevelt to attract the Pro- gressive Republicans of the West permanently to his political camp.
 Shell of New York, Republican leader of the House, scoffed at the Presidents statement made recent ly in New Haven that partisan politics did not govern appointment of officials in Washington. His observation was that if the Presi- dent didn't, his Postmaster Gen. eral Jim Farley did.
 Borah's criticism of new deal policies will, therefore, be doubly welcome to Republican leaders |, Even if he is not campaigning for the party, his presence in the field will do much, they believe, to take ' the edge off the efforts of new deal" supporters like Johnson and Morris.
