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: Tn order that employes may have a full understanding of present conditions, it seems proper for me to say that on the eve of t6e formation of a Western Union Employes' association, ths government Is considering taking over the telegraph lines because of the threat of an outside organi zation without membership In our forces. No one would pay any attention to such a threat were not ths nation at war. It Is, therefore, pertinent to call attention to the government's point of view on outside unions as expressed by Postmaster General Burle son before the house com-lttee on Thursday as follows: "I have never opposed the government employes organizing, but If the telegraph and telephone lines are taken over the employes should not be affiliated with any outside organization. "The sole 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 postmaster general. When your association Is formed, It Is proposed that the company make an exclu sive contract with It under which the com pany will deal with the association In mat ters relating to wages, ronddltlons 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 hope to Improve their own position, and such an Individual, representing a small union of about 2,600 members, largely Canadian, proposes on his own authority to call - you loyal men and women of the Western Union from your work In order to defeat the association which you are about to form. I am conflfdent you will answer this attempt by an additional dem onstration of your loyalty to your govern ment by continuing at your post of duty without fear of criticism by right-minded people.
