For $7,500 Position, Late Political Rumor Democratic politicians have re ceived information which they inter pret to mean that James C Dahlman, formerly mayor, may be appointed to a federal position which carries a salary greater than that paid to the postmaster of Omaha.

S. In view of the impending strike of commercial telegraph operators over the country, and the efforts of Presi dent Wilson to procure congressional permission to take over the telegraph and telephone systems of the nation, the following open letter to commer cial telegraph operators, of whom there are more than 250 in Omaha, by Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, will be of interest; In order that employes may have a full understanding of preeent conditions, it seems proper for ma to aay that on the eve of tie formation of a Western Union Employes' association, th government is considering taking over th telegraph lines because of the threat of an outside organU zKtlon without membership In our forcee. No on would pay any attention to such a threat were not th nation at war. It la, therefore, pertinent to call attentlen to tha government's point of view on outside unions as 'expressed by Postmaster General Burle son befor th hous com-ltte on Thursday as follows: "I hav never opposed the government employe! organising, but if the telegraph and telephone lines are taken over th employes should not be affiliated with any outside organization. "The aol affiliation should be with the government and no outside organization should be allowed to influence their action." From the foregoing It would appear that the policy of the company Is precisely that of the postmastsr general.. When your association la formed. It la proposed that the company make an exclu sive contract with It under which th com pany will deal with th association In mat ters relating to wages, conddltlons of em ployment, sickness benefits, pensions, life Insurance and any other matters affecting the Interests of employes. Meanwhile you may be urged to do some thing foolish by self-seeking Individuals who hop to Improve their own position, and such an Individual, representing a small union of about J, 600 members, largsly Canadian, proposes on his own authority to call you loyal men and women of the Western Union from your work Jn order to defeat tha association which you are about to form. I am con fi (dent you will answer this attempt by an addditional dem onstration of your loyalty to your govern ment by continuing at your post of duty without fear et criticism by right-minded people.
