LlkEdEr AEH0PLAHE TO BIRD
Indians Comment, on His First Sight
of Airship, Brief and Very
Much to the Point.

Aviator Rodgers, while on his way
to the Pacific coast, came down for
gasoline one Sunday on an ordinary
looking New York farm.
He didn't know where he was un-
til man came across the field and
his face showed him to be an In
dian. Rodgers then knew he was
on the Seneca Indian reservation at
Red House, and the brave approach
ing happened to be Chief Bishop.
An aeroplane was a new thing to
the Indian, and while men of his
race began to pour into the field
from the neighboring country as
fast as their ramshackle buckboards
and ponies would permit them, the
chief inspected his visitors sky We
hicle. After he had finished his ex-
animation the Indian turned to the
aviator and said:
''Ugh, big bird. Ugh, much heap
too dam big bird"

REPRESENTATIVE
GETS ANSWER
Constituent Shows How Excess
Grew Men Displace
Others.
Philadelphia, March "a.


John McClintock, a Representative
from Philadelphia, in reply to a con-
stituent who asked him to vote for
repeal of the Full Crew Law, wrote
as follows:
81 desire to ask if you think it is
right to legislate out of employment
men who are now in the employ of
the railroads, whose wages aggregate
100000, especially at this time,
when there is so much idleness?"
This question brought a rejoinder
as follows;
"Replying to your letter of March
10, my answer would be, first, that
there was no reason nor right in
legislating into jobs some 2400 excess
trainmen now employed on railroads
In Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Second, it is automatic that en-
ployment to be of the largest eco
nomic advantage and for the greatest
good of all, must be productive or
useful in character These excess
trainmen get some 100000 a year.
but do nothing which adds either to
the safety or efficiency of train opert
alton.
"Obliged by law to employ these
men, the railroads virtually are COM
PEELED to squander 100000 which
they would otherwise have to expend
for useful purposes. So expended, it
would provide productive work for
now unemployed men and women in
other lines. They would get the
money for services of value"
