 MT. Gompers declared that organ ized. labor wanted the government to retain control of the railroads for two years for the purpose of testing out the best method for their continued operation.'' <..
 a Little Use for Injunction.
 Referring to the anti-strike provi- sion of the bill, MT. Gompers said:
 1T do not know whither we are drifting, and on that point I am ap- prehensive. This proposal is filled with the gravest consequences. It will not stop strikes, but will make re- spected citizens law breakers"
 The injunction against the coal miners, MT. Gompers declared, did not produce an ounce of coal
 :Injunctions cannot make men work" he added, "and it is well to re- member that if men cannot get justice in other ways they will stop work and laws which seek to prevent that cannot accomplish their purpose
 Senator Gummins replied that he fully agreed with the statement that people could not be madento work by injunction.
 Farmers Seek More Light
 George F. Hampton, managing di- .rector of the Farmers National coun- Gil, declared that the people of the country and even senators and repre- sentatives did not understand the rail- road bill The senate, he said, was attempting to rush it through because of the belief that the president would turn the roads back January 1. A two time extension was what the farmers wanted, Hampton said
 Il. E. Willis, representing the broth erhood of locom otive engineers and a number of other speakers, pleaded for i the two year control extension and de | feat of the Cummins measure. i if3 r r r x!

NEWEST TYPES
OFPLANES TOBE
ORDERED U.S..

WASHINGTON, May 6.-(By Asso-
ciated Press -Orders for new air
planes soon will be placed by the war
department to prevent complete col
lapse of the airplane manufacturing
capacity built up during the war. The
machines to be ordered will be of ad-
vanced types developed from war ex-
perience and designed by engineers
working under conditions more favor
able than those existing during the
war.
Acting Secretary Crowell disclosed
the departments plans in this respect
yesterday in explaining that it had
been deQcided to abandon Barron,
Call, CaTruthers, Love, Rich and Talia-
ferro fields, Texas; Payne, Missis-
sippi; Gerstner field, Louisiana; Tay-
lor field, Alabama, and Eberts field,
Arkansas.
The ten fields to be abandoned are
being used lat present to store equip
ment, the government having on hand
more service machines than would be
needed to supply any military estab-
lishment contemplated for peace times.
This equipment is to be concentrated
at fields to be retained, including Sou
Their. which already have been an
nounced. The ten fields designated to
be abandoned then will be turned over
to any other government department
that might need them, or the build
in gswill be sold or salvaged
Definite plans for the air service
await action of congress as to the
military policy. Secretary Croweil
said the department, however, was
moving toward a broad constructive
program designed to cover not only
military needs but also relations be-
tween the government and civil enter
prise for promotion of air navigation.
Officers recognized that the govern
ment now virtually monopolizes the
fields and must take steps to share its
information and equipment to this
end
One element of air flight develop
ment is in progress in Paris. where
rules of the air, including STANDARDIZED
ton of signals, navigation marks, fly
ing fields and similar matters are be-
ing discussed by an international COM
mission. The United States, Mr.. Crow
ell said, will take an active part in
this work.
