16 Air Stations
For Coast Defence
Planned by Army

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Secretary g.
Baker to-day sent to Congress a re-
quest for a s16,ooo,ooo appropriation
for sixteen new balloon and airplane
stations-thirteen along the Atlantic
and three on the Gulf coasts-to sup
plement the army's preparations for its
part in repelling submarine or air at
tacks.
Equipment for the stations is said to
be in hand, and they probably will be
established within a few weeks after
the money is provided.
The coast defence plan as submitted
by the department also calls for the
establishment of mobile fortifications
along the coasts by which guns could
be transferred on railroads from one
point to another to meet possible at
tacks.
The House Appropriations Commit
tee, to whom the request went, was in
formed that there are in operation q
sufficient number of aircraft to defend
the coasts adequately, but that the sta
tions are needed. The only possible
airplane attacks that could be made, it
was said, would come from collapsible
airplanes carried by submarines.
Operation of observation balloons
would be largely for signal purposes.

Walkout Date Not Set
Telegraphers' Officials Con-

ance Not About Money

The threatened strike of union teleg-
raphers on the Western Union and
possibly the Postal lines, planned for
yesterday, did not materialize. Percy
Thomas, deputy international ,presi-
dent of the Eastern District, said last
night that ne had received no orders
from national headquarters at Chicago
and didn't expect to hear anything till
Sunday. He said no definite date for
the strike had yet been set

ing plans for a walkout, the Western
Union announced yesterday the distri-
button of an extra special payment to
employees on October 1. A statement
given out by Newcomb Carlton, presi-
dent of the Western Union, said:
"The board of directors are pleased
to declare an extra special payment
October l, 1918, which will be in addi-
ton to the two special payments of
July /, 1918, and July 1, 1919.
"This payment will be made to all
regular employees, excepting the presi-
shall have served the company ccntinu-
ously from April 1, 1918, inclusive, as
follows:
Gail messengers at independent
offices-a fiat sum of s6.25 each.
"Employes receiving less than $1,000
per year-at the rate of a per cent of
semi annual wage.
Employees receiving $1,000 to
$1,999.99 per year, both inclusive
the rate of per cent of semi-annual
wage, with minimum of $25.
employees receiving $4,000 per an
mum and more, inclusive-at the rate
of 21a per cent of semi-annual wage,
with minimum of $25.
"As in the past, these special pay
ments will not affect increasing of
salaries, which will be as heretofore
determined on individual merit"
When asked if this Western Union
special payment offer would have any
effect on the strike plans, Thomas
said: This offer of the Western
in the least.
''Our present grievance has nothing
whatever to do with money. We main
tain the right of all telegraphers to
join the union without risking dis
charge for SO doing, and we demand
recognition of the union"
Thomas said he would issue an ex-
tended statement on Sunday, in which
would be explained the attitude of the
union officials to this special distribu-
ton. Preparations, ne added, were
being made for an appeal to labor or
carnations for assistance in financing
the strike, that subject now being un-
der discussion by President Konenkamp
of the union and President Fitzpatrick
of the Chicago Federation of Labor.

State Chamber of
Commerce Urges
Use of Barge Canal
Increased Traffic Now Will
Help in Handling Crops
in Fall, 1t Declares

len important resolutions were dis
cussed and acted upon at yesterdays
monthly meeting of the New York
State Chamber of Commerce. These
included a pledge to encourage ship
ments by the barge canal, decision
to oppose government guarantee Of
bank deposits and advocacy of a
vehicular tunnel between the New Jer-
sey Shore and New York City.
In letter to Alfred Marling. the
president, G. A. Tomlinson, general
manager of the New York Canal sec
tlon of the railway administration,
urged the organizing of heavy traffic
or the canal as soon as possible. The
barge canal opened on May Is, but
according to Mr.. Tomlnson, shippers
have been slow in acquiring the Canal
habit"
By handling extensive traffic now, Mr..
Tomlinson wrote, the organization of
the canal would be ready to handle the
heavy crop shipments of the fall
In opposing governmental guarantee
of banking deposits, the chambers
committee on finance and currency fol-
lowed the stand against the measure
taken by the New York Clearing House
Association.
The committee disapproved Senate
bill No. 4,426, which provides that each
national bank shall be required to pay
tax and that the fund raised be de-
voted to reimbursing depositors Of
banks which fail. The committee char
acterized the bill as putting pre-
MUM upon incompetence"
The committee on internal trade and
improvements presented a resolution,
advocating immediate action on a
vehicular tunnel between New jersey
and New York City, which was passed
unanimously.
The committee cited the long lines of
trucks awaiting ferry transportation,
the valuable land taken up by ferry
slips, the fact that so per cent of the
nations transported merchandise passes
through New York, and the power of
the elements to paralyze shipping.
Vehicular tunnels, such as now contem-
plated, it declared, would give the city
facilities in keeping with its tremend-
Gus growth of the last twenty years,
in which the population was doubled
and the value of the industrial enter
prises increased many fold.
On the recommendation. of the com
mittee on commercial education, the
chamber passed resolutions favorine
the appropriation of money by the gov
ernment to foster Americanization
through the education of non-English
speaking aliens. The committee was
authorized to represent the chamber
at the Americanization mass meeting
to be held in September in Madison
Square Garden.
The committee, reporting on wal
cripples. recommended the support o.
the Red Cross Institute for Crippled
and Disabled Men.

Palestine Congress Meets

The opening session of the Palestine
Congress, attended by more than 400
delegates, representing about 100000
Jews in the United States, was held
yesterday at the Central Opera House,
in East Sixty-seventh Street. The con-
gress has been called for the purpose
of formulating some definite plan
among the Jews of America for taking
advantage of the offer of the British
Empire to establish Jewish state in
Palestine.
The first meeting was devoted large
" to organization. The delegates,
however, it was said, are fairly unani-
nous in favoring the formation of a
socialistic Zionist state in the re-
claimed country. Afternoon and even
ing sessions are to be held to-day and
tomorrow. The congress will end Sun
day.
