' SOCIALISTS WRESTLE WITH FARMER AND LABOR AFFILIATION Hy 'Assoc'ated Pr'-ss.) CLEVELAND, May 1. The National Socialist party convention was prepared today to again wrestle with the question of affiliation with labor and farmer organizations for future political activity after failing yesterday to reach a decision. m The convention has before it the agenda proposal to limit its affiliation to the sending of delegates to the next convention to be called by the conference for progressive political action, euch delegates merely to act as observers. It also is considering a counter-proposal made by Morris Hillquil of New York, that would not only permit, but ' encourage direct affiliation by state socialist organizations with labor and farmer organizations, safeguarded, as contended by Mr. Hillquit and its friends, to insure preservation of the party's identity. Indications early today "were that the agenda, proposal might win over the Hillquit proposition, many delegates expressing themselves yesterday in opposition to direct affiliation ai this time because the labor unions wd-e not yet ready for it and because it might mean destruction of the socialist party's Identity. Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee, though expressing doubt as to benefits being derived from direct affiliation, said he was "willing to try anything once." After disposing of the question of labor party affiliation, the convention will have before it questions of party dues and finances, initiation fees and campaign funds. .

VALUE OF POSTAL WORK STRESSED BY HUBERT WORK The value of government postal service was told in an address broadcasted throughout the country by Postmaster General Hubert Work, while announcing postal improvement week Dy radio. "My message is addressed to every man. woman and child in the United '. States, because in varying desreo thev ! are all affected by the operation of! the postal service. This word 'service', by the way, which is so aptlv uimeu wun posiai, is something more man a mere aesignation of one of the government establishments. It fittingly describes what may be considered the 'spod right arm of the American people, and expresses unmistakably the purpose for which it was founded, 1 almost as soon as the colonists had I sex tneir nouse m order. "Just what is this service? Primarily it is the transmission of intelligence, the carrying of your written word from your own hand directly and expeditiously into the hands of some one miles away. But the sequel is far-reaching, because the postal service is the foundation upon, which our government rests. "In our , constant striving for perfection, we bespeak your co-operation. To this end we have announced a postal improvement week to begin May 1, when we confidently hope to reach a .high degree of perfection in rendering you servfee."
