A resolution on the subject of attending the demonstration will come up later RESOLUTION DEMANDS THAT BURLESON BE REMOVED. The resotution asking the removal of Postmaster General Burleson be- gins by quoting President Wilson's re- cent message, in which he said, “The question which stands at the front of all others in every country amidst the present gredt awakening Is the ques- tion of labor, ‘The object of all re- form in this essential matter must be generous democratization of industry, based upon a full recognition of those who work, in whatever rank, to par- | ticipate In some organic way in every decision which directly ‘affects their welfare or the part they play in in- | dustry.” ‘The resolution then goes on to say that Posimaster General Burleson has “pursued a labor policy in direct conflict with this enunciation of these principles, and in answer to President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor has characterized ax ‘silly’ the right of collective bargaining.” The Postmaster General is charged with having “ruthlessly invaded the rights of employees” and with having “interfered in defiance of law with proper functioning of their organiza- tions, and has not only refused to recognize the accredited representa- tives, but has also sought to have repealed the employees’ constitution ul right of direct petition to Congress.” “This labor policy—which has been fastened upon every governmentai agency under Burleson’s supervi- sion—is in utter defiance of the wishes of the people,” the resoli on declares, “and is in complete op- position to the expressed views of Burleson's archaic and autocratic attitude has resulted in demoralized service, discontented and resentful employees, confused and choked industrial processes, a people wrathful and indignant and a long series of administrative blun- ders.” The resolution requests the Presi- dent to remove Mr. Burleson.
