U.S. EMPLOYES

CANNOT STRIKE, SAYS BURLESON

Answers Gompers Statement That He Will Have to Walk the Plank. WASHINGTON, April 28. Postmaster-General Burleson, maintaining the barrage of statements which he has laid down since the fight against him reached its fever crest, today replied to the assertion of Samuel Gompers, that "he would have to walk the plank, sooner or later." The Postmaster-General stuck by his guns and reiterated "a strike on the part of employes of the government or of those working or the government Is not permissible." In this category he placed the striking New England telephone operators. His statement follows: "The value and Importance of the service rendered by Mr. Samuel Gompers during the recent war was surpassed by but few men in America. Ready admission is made of this fact and more, that this was not merely a 'favorite pose on the part of Mr. Gompers, bat was the Impulse of genuine patriotism. At Variance With Gompers. "The Postmaster-General undoubtedly is at variance with Mr. Gompers on the matter of the relation between the gavernment and those who are employed in its service. As the Postmaster-General sees it, it is little short .of silly to talk about collective bargaining with an executive officer by civil service employes under hia administration. "The salary and wages to be paid such employes, the hours of labor and working conditions are fixed by the legislative branches, and It is for the executive head of a department to abide thereto. "In the matter of fixing compensation the Postmaster-General always lias believed sound publio opinion could be relied upon safely to see that full Justice is done those who serve the government."

You can't have a circus without elephants, and you can't have a big circus without big elephants and many of 'em. And elephants are not of much value in the modern, big circus unless they are performing elephants. So that is why Sells-Floto circus, which will come to old Athletic Park in Richmond. Tuesday, May 6, brings

Old Snyder "Wetting Up" to you what circus people agree are the biggest performing herds of the largest elephants in all the wide, wide world. They do many things you never saw elephants do before, because a lot ot their tricks are newly learned. But, as the elephants have been acting at breakneck speed for a long while, learning new stuff is easy

for them. And they love to act. They rush into the rings so fast that their trainers have a deuce of a time keeping up with them. They are the original speed merchants, these elephants. Even if they have to push wagons around the lot all morning, they are ready and eager to show off before folks right afterward.
