Sponsors of the strike accused Mr.
Burleson, during the debate, of turn
ing back operating control of the
wire systems of the country aa a
means of "getting out from under."
'.Ever since August 1. 1818." the
resolution read, "the telephone em-
ployes have been trying to secure
a working understanding with m
postmaster general, who promised to
establish a working arrangement hut
failed to do so and has now turned
back -the operation to private con -
trol.
Prior to the taking over of th
wires by the government, it was re
cited, the electrical workers had
agreemnts with the company "but
the postmaster general persistently
refused to renew agreemnts upon
their termination or to make any
provision to care for elecerical em
ployes" and it '-therefore became an
