this afternoon he had made a settlement

not quite as much as they asked.
The men who struck, numbering
about 1000, We're from the rank and file.
The foremen didn't quit.
A committee representing the riveters
told Mr.. Davis the strike was not direct

chairman Of the commission told the
House Interstate Commerce Committee
today.
but the commission does believe in
fiuences are at work in the packing in
dustry which are against the public"
Colver said, "and the commission be-
lieves these can be controlled without
injury to private interests"
A system Of licensing similar to the
war licenses has been suggested by the
chairman as a means of regulating the
meat industry.
Colver urged that the big packers be
prohibited from owning refrigerator and
livestock cars and from controlling
stockyards, stock exchanges and the dis
semination of market news which is vlr-
tually what the hill of the commission
now before the committee aims TO do.
Pointing out that livestock and meat
Is simply freight, Colver said that the
railroads should provide stock yards,
storage and refrigerator car facilities
which would be open to all. just as
facilities are provided for other kinds
OF freight, This, Colver believes. would

The man who piloted the first Ameri-

tinguished Service Cross for heroism.
Captain Este killed two Germans
while he fought in the air over there
hut he got no enjoyment out of It,
saThe only thing ever killed before
was an OWL" he said in telling his eN-
periences.
Captain Este praised Lieutenant
Charles Drew, the Germantown aviator,
for heroic fighting, and brought back
with him the news that Lieutenant
Drew had lost an arm in battle. Drew
was shot down over Metz September u.
wounded twice below the knee, twice in
the right thigh, his right elbow shat
tered and his chest ripped open by an
explosive bullet. The Germans left him
for dead, and n little later, when Cap
tain Este reached the scene, Drew was
standing up beside his machine.
Arm is Amputated
Drew smiled, gritted his teeth and
said: "In rwo months I'll fly again
But surgeons took off his arm near the
shoulder.
The action for which Captain Este
was awarded the war cross and later
promoted from lieutenant to captain
took place on September 13. He was
leading a patrol Of FIVE planes, and
seven enemy planes appeared above
them. He was first into the fight.
The official citation says that in the
action that followed he fought with
the greatest bravery, in spite of the fact
that he was himself attacked by two
enemy planes which fired pointblank at
range from the rear and above. BY his
skill and courage he was able to keep
his formation together, and they sue
cee6ed in shooting down three of the
enemy planes, of which Lieutenant Este
himself destroyed one and drove down
another out of control"

Captain Este is president of the J.

the Racquet, Philadelphia Country and
Princeton Clubs. He is a son of the
late Charles Este. Though past the
first draft age, Mr.. Este enlisted in the
aviation service few days after wal

aviation school at Essington. and later
was transferred to Newport News, where
he received his commission.
In the summer of 1917 he was trans
ferred 70 Kelly Field, Texas, where lie
