Addressing a mass meeting under
the auspices of the c. I. o. Federal
Workers, Harry B. Mitchell, preSi-
dent of the Civil Service Commits
sion, last night declared that "I do
not believe that Government en-
ployeS have the right to strike

Mr.. Mitchell's remarks followed
an address by William j. Brown,
general secretary of the Civil Serv-
ice Clerical Association of Great
Britain, who had discussed the col
lective bargaining" arrangement in
the British civil service, under which
differences between the various
agencies and their employees on
wages, hours and leave 90 to ar
bitration.
The Civil Service Commission
president said that in this country
collective bargaining" in the ac-
cepted sense of the word, entailed
the privilege of striking, and for
that reason there could be no coll
lective bargaining in the Govern
ment service.
Abram Flaxer, president OF the
State, County and Municipal Work
ers, urged pay increases in Govern.
ment service commensurate with
rising living costs.
About 400 persons attended the

This move followed demands that
the Hanoi government hand over
