Italian Aviator Aseends to Height Of
1900 Feet.
Newport News, Va, Sept. 21.-Car-
rying IL passengers in Caproni tri-
plane, Lieutenant Emile Resnati, 1tal-
ian army aviator, attained an altitude
of $1,000 feet near here. This was
1000 feet higher than the previous
American record with single pas
senger, made by Victor Carlstrom, an
American aviator killed several
months ago, and was regarded as a
remarkable performance.
The Caproni machine used by Lieu
tenant Resnati has a wing spread of
70 feet and is propelled by three en-
gines of 16O horsepower each.
Lieutenant Resnati will leave soon
on a trip to Washington carrying IL
passengers including United States

NORTON MAKES CHARGE
rFIickertaiI Scion Says U. S. En-
pIoyees Gouge Public.
Asserts That National Organization,
For Purpose of Getting Better Sal
aries For Members, Exists.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Representa-
tive Norton of North Dakota, in a
speech in the house, charged that gov
eminent employees are trying to
gouge the public through a national
organization.
II have read in the papers an &C.
count of a meeting of federal employ
ees from all parts of the country, con-
vened for the purpose of effecting the
organization of a national federal en-
ployees union," said M. Norton.
1T is very patent upon it's face that
the real purpose of this national or
ganization is in the end to gouge the
out of higher wages for
it's members.
81 have seen, on several different &C.
casions, government employees gather
ed here in the galleries Of this house,
like flocks of blackbirds in a ripening
field of grain, to urge the enactment
of legislation being considered by the
house for the further increase of their
wages and for the further shortening
of their already short hours of labor.
1.-THE fact that present legislation
permits the head of a bureau or de-
partment to raise the wages of some
particularly favored employee, simply
because the head of the bureau or de-
partment has lump sum appropria-
ton which he may grab without any
restriction or restraint, and the fact
that this privilege and freedom given
to the heads of bureaus and depart
ments during this war emergency has
been grossly abused, calls loudly for
this legislation and calls for it at
once"
Mr. Norton's remarks were applaud.
ed by other members.

Former Congressman George X.
Smith of Minneapolis is fond Of hunt
ing and takes great pride in the owner
ship of costly setter dog of noble
birth: One day an old man, who was
acting as guide for the hunt, came near
making a lifelong enemy of Smith by
criticizing the dogs technique in the
field.
1.-THE dogs perfectly all right de-
clared Smith, Indignantly. II wouldn't
trade him for any dog ever saw, only
he doesn't get quite, enough exercise.
I'm busy and have to keep him penned
up a good deal. He ought to have
more exercise and that would improve
his hunting" .
HAS he got any fleas?" inquired the
old man.
"Should say not" replied Smith, in-
suited. 'That dog has his bath every
week the same as hope you do
"Why don't you give him a few
feas?"
"What do you mean, give him feast
Why should want a fine dog like him
to have fleas?"
SWELL" opined the guide, thought
fully, they'd give him exercise. st.

QUEBEC BRIDGE PLACED
Greatest Structure of Kind In
World Is Completed.
Two Previous Attempts to Erect Big
Span Resulted in Accidents Cost
ing Lives of Eighty-four.

Quebec, Sept 22.-With the boiling
ing into place the big center span OF
the Quebec bridge has been success
fully completed, and Canada is now
the possessor of the greatest can't
lever bridge in the world. It was the
greatest engineering feat of the kind
ever attempted.
The last hoist was made and the
great center span finally put in place
late in the afternoon.
The great structure, which is 1928
feet long and contains 1S0,0O0,00O
pounds of steel and cost in the neigh
borhood of $2O,OO0,O00 to build, was
all but completed today after II years
of labor, the original structure having
been started back in 1906.
Two Previous CoIIapses.
During it's construction "a men have
lost their lives and monetary loss
of $S,5O0,000 has been sustained
through two collapses, the first one
costing the lives of 70 men, when the
south cantilever arm collapsed in 1907
and the second in 1916 when the CEN
ter span went into the st. Lawrence
through the breaking of a casting on
the hosting apparatus.
Painting operations will be immedi'
ately started. It will take three years
to paint the bridge. AS soon as the
painters finish it, they will start all
over againsand keep this going contin'
ually as the work has to be done every
three years.

Stockholm, Sept. 21.-It is generally
believed here that the troubles of the
Swedish government in connection
with the German kilograms forwarded
from Buenos Aires through the Swed-

The question of the hour is whether
the United States will rest satisfied
with the tone of the Swedish commun-

1t would surprise no one here If
Secretary Robert Lansing were to call
for an uneQuivocal statement to the
effect that the forwarding of American
communications in language open to
the Swedish authorities and with the
knowledge and consent of the govern
ments concerned was in no wise COM
parable to the services rendered to
Germany by Sweden. :"

who have not yet been called by the
local boards is expected in formal
orders from Secretary Of War Baker

1t is estimated that out Of the men
left at least two more drafts can be
supplied. The first draft, according to
semi-oficial figures disclosed that ap-
proximately one man out of every four
was available for military service.
With the War Departments an
nounced plan of raising an army of
100000, it will require at least 1,000,-
900 more conscripts to fill the ranks to
the required number. Should more
men then be required another draft
would be necessary 1t will be for
youths who have reached the age of 81
since the June registration. Such a

lieved, more than 100000 men, of
whom a greater percentage would be
available for service than in the pres.

ARBITRATION is ASKED
Business Men in National Convention
Ask Labor to Cooperate and
Agree to Refrain From
Profiteering.

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 21.-Or-
ganized business has proposed to Ia
Dor that the Ratchet be buried, after
being charged by Secretary of Labor
Wilson that war profiteers among
their number we're in a large measure
responsible for the strikes and labor
unrest throughout the nation.
Making success for the nation in the
war it's first objective, the Chamber OF
Commerce of America in it's war ses-
sion here asked labor to cooperate to
put through the merchant shipbu1ld-
ing program without further delays.
AS second step, the chamber acted to
weed our profiteering.
Will Stop lockouts.
Resolutions were adopted by the in
dustrial relations section to prevent
strikes and lockouts interfering with
the government program through co
operation of capital and labor.
The resolutions will be put before
the full convention.
The action was taken after Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson declared that un-
rest among laboring men was due to
the impression that business has been
making excessive profits in which Ia
Dor has not shared.
HAS it never occurred to you bust
nessmen," Secretary Wilson asked,
that the story has gone forth that
you are not patriotic; that you have
been profiteering? And did it ever
occur to you that the workingman has
said to himself he will insist on get
ting his share of the swag? My posi-
ton is that there should be no 'swag.'
II have said to labor that this is no
time to insist on union recognition and
changes. in labor standards. But 1
also say to you employers that this is
no time to stand on your prejudices,
no time to insist on profteering. You
should not take advantage of your
country's necessities to insist on alb
normal profits"
The Resolutions Provide.
That no attempts be made by busl'
ness to change labor conditions and
that labor make no efforts to force
union recognition or changes In stand"
ards.
That there be no protiteering in bus
mess to give rise to labor unrest.
" That business recommend. to the
government creation of government
board representing labor, capital and
the public to settle all major disputes
and that the boards decisions be bind
ing on both sides.
That industry call on labor to CO.
operate in making it plain there will
be no strikes or lockouts while adjust
ments are being made.
That government employment agen.
cies be developed and extended by
congressional appropriation.
That industry institute a study of
conditions looking towards the allevia-
ton of conditions during times Of in
dustrial depression.
