He told a meeting in San Francisco last Wednesday: “All of us can safely leave the decisions on Korea to the great wisdom, the unfaltering courage, and the world-wide knowledge of our new and greatest President—Gen. Dwight David Eisenhower.'1Io -tist monthly published by Sikes and Hardy.Association Bom HereThe first rural carriers association in Texas, of which Horton was a member, was established m Greenville in the spring of 1903 and was issued Charter No. 1. Later it took in Rains County, and is now known as the Hunt-Rains CountyAssociation.For many years Horton carried mail by horseback. The roads, he said, were graded only to Celeste, and a motor vehicle would have had difficulty negotiating the roads much of the year. And the mail was usually light. “Some days I didnt’ need a mail sack—I could have carried all the mail I had for delivery in my pocket/’ Horton saidBefore he retired Horton served under six postmasters, J.

The first route was cs-tablished in Jefferson County, Vir- 1 ginia, and it was followed by fifteen! others in various sections of the nation.Too Many GatesHorton relates that the first carriers were called upon to cover twenty miles a day on horseback, and it was not until one of them complained of having to open andshut sixty-three gates on his route that the farmers were asked to set up mail boxes along the public roads.In August, 1943, Horton retired as a rural mail carrier after forty years of active service. He was the only original carrier out of the Greenville office who was still in the service and also had the longest record of service.When Horton left The Banner to take a regular job as a rural mail carrier, he started his delivery on horseback. Later, when roads became improved and it was possible to make good time in automobiles.especially during the dry season, he purchased an automobile. Before he retired he wore out several cars on his route.Carriers, it is recalled by Horton, had no desks in the post office in the early days. They used boxes. Neither did they have to put up” daily newspapers for delivery.

Instead, he said, the government should rely on mediation and conciliation—or persuasion—to settle the big strikes.He also suggested voluntary arbitration, or the willing submission of issues to third neutral party for a recommended solution.Closed Shop UrgedMeany recommended again legalizing the closed shop. He urged eliminating present bans on secondary boycotts and elimination of provisions permitting employers to bring 7amag» suits against labor unions.He said the present non-Commu-nist affidavit requirement should be eliminated altogether, with strengthening of facilities of the Justice Department to nab Communists.He urged eliminating present Taft-Hartley rules governing the union health and welfare plans and the law s requirement that notice must be served before a union may seek to terminate or modify a collective bargaining agreement.He also asked that a ban on “featherbedding or make work” be dropped from the law.
