f ATLANTIC CITT, X. X, June 12. A
fetrike designed, to cripple the telephone
systems of the country will begin Mon
day with the full moral support of the
American Federation of Labor unless a
satisfactory working agreement is
reached before that time between Postmaster-General
Burleson and the In
ternational Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, which numbers among its
members the bulk of the union tele
phone operators in the United States.
By unanimous vote the reconstruc
tion convention of the federation
adopted a resolution today giving its
support to the strike and providing
that Samuel Gompers, president, should
appoint a committee to co-operate with
a committee of electrical workers, the
joint committee to take up grievances
with the postoffice authorities at
"Washington in the hope of averting
t the walkout.
BorlMon Is Scored.
Iuring the debate Postmaster-Gen-'
eral Burleson. wa termed a "tyran-
Trical" official by delegates who thought
. any attempt to obtain "justice" from
! the postal executive would be utterly
futile. In this connection reference was
j made to a resolution which will come
teefore the convention later in which, if
it is passed, President Wilson will be
requested to remove Mr. Burleson.
Sponsors of the strike support reso
: lution accused Mr. Burleson, during the
debate, of turning back operating con
trol of the wire systems of the coun
' try as a means of "getting out from
under."
Ever since August 1, 1918. the reso
lution read, the telephone employes
have been trying to "secure a working
understanding with the postmaster-
general, who promised to establish a
' working arrangement but failed to do
! so, and. has now turned back the opera
' tion to private control."
Agreements Not Renewed.
Prior to the taking over of the wires
(toy the government, it was recited the
: electrical workers had, agreements with
the company "but the postniaster-gen-eral
persistently refused to renew
agreements upon their termination or
to make any provision to care for elec
trical employes" and it "therefore be
came an urgent necessity to safeguarl
the rights of the members involved."
The resolution also stated that "of
fleers of the brotherhood have at all
times during the prosecution of the
war refused to call a strike, attempting
at all times to assist the government."
The convention listened to several
addresses by British and Japanese dele
gates, who emphasized that closer co
operation between the laboring men of
various nationalities would furnish a
means of preserving the future peace
of the world,.
Six-Hour Day Forecast.
M. Walsh, delegate from Canada,
told the convention that we workers
have a battle to fight. There is no
one to fight it for us. We must fight
it for ourselves. The universal eiftht
hour day is the practical solution in
Canada, at least of the returned sol
dier problems. The eight-hour day is
.the step toward the six-hour day."
The action of the New Jersey Manu
facturers association in asking the re
moval of Basil M. Manly, joint chair
man of the war labor board, for his
"intemperature utterances," before the
convention, was ordered condemned in
a resolution.
Another resolution urged congress to
approve a deficiency appropriation to
enable the United States employment
service to continue its work.
By a third resolution, the committee
which will go to Washington to ne
gotiate with Postmaster-General Burle
son on the electrical strike will be
directed also to take such action as
may be suitable to bring about the
passage of legislation which will en
able the employment service to con
tinue functioning.
