3 DECISIONS ARE
HANDED DOWN IN
LABOR DISPUTES

Washington, Oct. l0.--ln ANNOUNCE
ing awards in three labor controver-
sizes today the war labor board laid
down the rule that no worker shall
draw Overtime or extra time pay UNI
less he works As regular hours a
week, except where illness or some
other just cause prevents.
This policy meets complaints that
have come from many war indus
tries that some employees made a
practice Of laying off during the
week to work overtime or sundays
for higher rates OF pay. Today's rul-
ing puts this practice under the ban
and at the same time provides that
excessive overtime neither shall be
permitted nor exacted. In order to
keep overtime within reasonable
limits, it is ordered that where more
than two hours in excess of eight
hours work In one day is required
overtime shall be paid for that day.
regardless of whether the worker
shall have worked the regular sche-
dule that week.

clared The elimination of the rail-

Captain Lipsner arrived in Chicago
to complete plans for the opening of
the aerial mail between New York

Commenting on what has already

said:

Speed Average 125 Miles an Hour.
THE speed averaged was more than
1875 miles an hour and | believe this
can be maintained on all routes. Night
flying will soon be Il regular thing in
the aerial service and the planes we
are using and building will be able
to fly in any kind of weather. While
our present weight carrying limit is
700 pounds. / believe we can soon
raise it to five tons. The Caprcni
planes will carry as much mail as an
average mail train. At a speed of
125 miles an hour it will not cost
more than $50 an hour to operate a
mail plane"
"All our planes will carry wireless
and we will have, eventually ma
chimes large enough to carry three
and four men in addition to the mail
pouches. There are twenty-five ma
chimes in the service now and NOR.
are to be added from time to time.
We will soon be making the run from
New York to Chicago in ten hours or
less
ut has been decided by the govern
ment that when the war has been won
all the airplane equipment used by
the army will be turned over to the
mail service, and it is easily seen
that, with the great number of men
being trained for the air service by
the army. there will be plenty of
pilots for the A. M. s."

SEPARATE AGENCIES

tsPgcIAL coRREsPoRpgkGG MORNING JouRhhN
Santa Fe oct. 10.--That the gov
eminent favors the abolition of sep
arate agencies for men and women
for war work is brought out by the
Official Bulletin just received which
announces the consolidation of the
womans committee of the National
Council of Defense, the Bulletin say
ing:
ut has become moro manifest with
each passing month that there was
no sense in supporting two distinct
i've agencies of men and one of
women; and this was recognized
earliest by the state Councils, which
took the women of the country into
their directorates and gave them
full part in their work. In all states
this is not true. and in one or two it
is perhaps legally impossible at pres
ent, but it is hoped and expected that
this policy of joint action shall be
wherever possible adopted. The part
which women are playing in this
war; and the increasing part which
they are taking in making possible
to maintain it, make this consolida-
ton no more than the recognition of
u fact-that all smen and women are
making, and are to make, common

reported to have been sent simultane-

tria. and the report from London and
Paris of impending far-reaching events
in Constantinople, has strengthened
the view here that the situation in
Turkey is desperate.
II is believed by officials in touch
with Turkish affairs that the pro-Ger-
man government faces utter collapse
if. indeed, that has not already taken
PLACE and that the new government
will make a direct appeal to the allies
for peace at any price.
The state department has heard un-
officially that representatives of the
various factions in Turkey already
have appealed to officials of the allied
government at Saloniki, promising TO
accept unconditional terms.
