The attitude or Mr.. Mccormick served
IN aviation circles TO emphasize a situation
that has been crystallizlng In tho last
few months. since Wright tried to impose
q royalty OF 81 900 and a charge Of 52j
day for exhibition flights in flying
machines that are said TO infringe on the
Wright patents.
When Wright won his fight against
Glenn CurtisS many OF the Curtiss hiers
and other avlators went to him TO make
arrangements for licenses. They were put
of and could get no satisfaction. Finally
Wright sent word to aviators laying down
the price Of a license. The aviators re-
garded the fee az eSorbitant.
Lincoln Beachey paid the $1,000 for the
right to fly up TO December 81 next and
agreed to pay s2j day for exhibition
flights. Other avators ignored the letter
which Wright sent to them and have gone
on flying. Several sportsmen owning fly
ing boats have paid no attention TO
