ITESTIFIES AT HEARING Official Subjected to Rapid Crossfire of Questions by Members of House i Committee on Reform in the Civil Service, to Whom He Explains Why the Department Is Opposed to Pro- posed Organization. Washington. May 6.—Subjected to a rapid crossfire of questions Second JAssislam Postmaster General Joseph Stewart appeared before the house { committee on reform in the civil serv- ice to explain why the postoffice de- partment refused to permit its em- ployes to organize a union and Mr. Stewart frankly admitted that tkhe de- bartment would approve of no organ- ization in which the heads of the de- { bartment were not permitted to be members. Mr. Stewart took issue with mem- bers of the committee who suggested that such a program tended to bu- reaucracy. Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor, made a statement before the committee in which he denied that the proposed nion of razilway mail clerks could re- sult in a general strike, called by the Federation of Labor. The famous executive order issned in 1902 by President Roosevelt and later approved by President Taft, for- bidding government employes to peti- | tion congress for an increase in pay or redress of grieveances, was read into the record by Mr. Stewart, who | zlso produced, at the request of the committee, the subsequent order is- {sued by the postoffice department de- | to organize. Stewart Parries Question. ice employes to strike?” i was asked. | The second assistant postmaster | general parried the question by ask- [ing Alr. Wilson if the oath taken by government employes, in which they agree to serve the government, is not Mr. Stewart | to be regarded above everything else. | Asked by Chairman Godwin as to | the reported dismissals or demotions {of employes because of the contro- | versy over the right to organize, Mr. | Stewart declared that there could be ! no question of the right of the depart- ’ment head to dismiss or demote its iser\'i(-e employes. A dismissed em- iploye. he added, was notified of the | charges against him; a demoted em- | plove was given no reason. | “How about the dismissal of one of | Your main superintendents at Cincin- o | Dati?” inquired Representative Finley. “Was he furnished with notice and a { copy of the charges?” °! “I believe not,” admitted the second | assistant postmaster general. Why Union Is Barred. “What is your objection to clerks organizing a union?” asked Represen- tative Gillett. “It is the character of the organiza- tion proposed to which we object,” re- plied Mr. Stewart. “A labor union that will not admit officers and super- {visors of the department. that holds {its meetings behind closed doors, that |has a secret password, and that does not permit the heads of departments | to take part in its deliberations, will ’alwn_\'s be disapproved by our depart- ment.” Representative Wilson of Pennsyl- i vanizs asked if the linotypers and other ’employes of the government printing |office are not affiliated with unions. Mr. Stewar. admitted that they were, 'th'ely of a whole branch of the service, such as the postal clerks. “We have organizations among the employes of the postoffice department, several of them,” explained Mr. Stew- art, “but in these organizations super- visory officers have a part. They do the union now proposed. An organlza- tion of the character proposed will be a peril to the government.” AGAIN APPEARS IN COMMONS | Bill to Confer Parliamentary Fran- chise on Women. London, May 6.—In the house of eommons Sir George Kemp, Liberal, moved the second reading of “a bill to confer the parliamentary franchise on women.” The measure is similar to the one smothered in committee last year. It does not go quite so far as Mrs Pankhurst and her friends wish, but s acceptable to the suffragets as the “thin edge of the wedge.” | Two Women Die in Collision.

The McCann case made history in the annals of the police departments of the great cities of this country. Mc. Cann was stationed in the vice ridden district on the West Side of that city. His record in his station was noted for his unrelenting warfare against vice and he had rescued hundreds ot women from a life of shame. | In a crusade against bribery the! police inspector was caught in the net of the county officials. He was tried! witness stand alleged that they had paid him tribute for allowing them to continue in their illicit business. The Outdoor Nation. No nation loves nature so much as the German. The Italian travels to get somewhere, the German to travel. The country walk for its own sake is & German discovery.
