LONDON, Aug. 25.-A great, new
chapter in the history of aviation was
opened to-day with the inauguration
of the first passenger and cargo service
to Paris. The results Of the first days
operation show that this means OF
communication is entirely satisfactory
and far more comfortable and speedy
than the old systems.
The airplane "A left London at 8 :0S
o'clock and returned at 2:45. completing
the round trip in five and three-quarter
hours. Two firms have started daily
flights simultaneously, charging SIS to
800 single fare. Considering the ad-
vantages, these prices are not held to
be exorbitant. Great hopes are held out
that these fares will be reduced as op-
Grating conditions become better, and
with bigger. better planes capable Of
carrying heavier loads.
These planes carry one ounce Of mail
for 81. AS It is possible to send 5000
words for this sum the rate Is considered
cheap. Cable tolls to Paris average
cents a word. and the airplane men say
they will soon pe able TO beat the cable.
The manufacturers say they have plans
for reducing the time between the two
cities to one hour and that this may be
realized in one year.

am aware that railway en-
ployees have a sense Of insecurity
as to the future Of the railroads
and have many misgivings as to
whether their interests will be-
properly safeguarded when the
present form of Federal control
has come to an end. No doubt it is
in part this sense OF uncertainty
that prompts them to insist that
their wage interests be adjusted
now rather than under conditions
which they cannot certainly fore
see. But I do not think that their
uneasiness is well grounded.
1 anticipate that legislation deal
ing with the future of the railroads
will in explicit terms afford ade-
quate protection for the interests
OF the employees OF the roads, but,
quite apart from that, it is clear
that no legislation can make the
railways other than what they are.
great public interest. and 1t is not
likely that the President of the
United States, whether in possess
sion and control OF the railroads or
not, will lack opportunity or per-
suasive force TO influence the de-
cision of questions arising between
the managers OF the railroads and
the railway employees. The en-
ployees may rest assured that dur
ing my term of office, whether 1 am
in actual possession OF the rail-
roads or not, shall not fail TO ex-
ert the full influence OF the Execu-
tive to see that justice is done
them.
/ believe, therefore. that they
may be justified In the confidence
that hearty cooperation with the
Government now in it's efforts to
reduce the costs Of living will by no
means be prejudicial to their own
interests, but will, on the contrary,
prepare the way for more favorable
and satisfactory relations in the
future

HOOVER FROWNS ON
PRESIDENCY BOOM
Asks Friends to Put Forth No
Efforts in His Behalf.
Special Cable Despatch to THE Sun.
Copyright, 1913, all rights reserved.

PARIS, Aug. 25.-The imminent return
OF Herbert Hoover, the allied Food Ad-
rnIEistrator, TO the United States 80 he
can retire to private life in California
has started much talk here as to his
availability to the Republicans as a
Presidential candidate. This has been
stimulated by incidents of the last two
weeks, eliminating in Hoover's victory
Yesterday, when the council bowed to
his mandate and made a public declara-
tion that there Is no room in European
Government for Hapsburg.
THE SUN Is in position TO state that
Mr. Hoover has no intention OF becom-
ing a self-announced candidate. He al
ready has announced in letter that he
has no desire for political preferment.
This letter was written week ago to
friend in the East who asked permission
to advance him as a Republican candi-
date. Hoover REPLIED that he had given
Ave years to public service and wanted
to retire until another occasion arose
wien his experience might be Of service
10 the cause of humanity, He added
that he had a distinct aversion to poll
tics because It generally required man
10 compromise with his principles. which
he never could consent to do.
The letter virtually requests that no
EFFORTS be made in his behalf for the
nomination. Mr.. Hoover was born in
Iowa, but claims California as his home.
This brings him in collision with the
Johnson boom. His friends say he Is an
out and out Republican, but also that he
is a strong believer in loyalty TO his
chief. and that this prevented him from
speakinR out at much that displeased
him in the Wilson Administration.

435 MILES IN s HOURS
BY NEW ZEPPELIN
Carries IS Passengers and
Goes Into Daily Service.
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Aug 25.-A new Zeppelin air
ship on its maiden trip from Friedrich
shafen to Berlin covered the 700 kilo-
meters (about 435 miles) in a little
more than six hours. The aircraft,
which is named Bodensee. attained a
maximum speed of 120 kilometers "a
little more than seventy-four and half
miles) an hour
The builders of the new type OF ma
chine have discarded the familiar cigar
shape of the old Zeppelins and adopted
a conIcal outlined exterior. The Booen-
see is l20 meters long and accommo-
dates thirty-nve passengers. II Is
equipped with wireless telegraphy ana
has a spacious passenger cabin. The
passengers are able to obtain running
hot and cold water. The aircraft is to
go into a daily service.
Twenty-one passengers, among them
three women, made the initial trip In
the airship. The Bodensee was built
since the armstice was signed.
Article 202 OF the peace treaty with
Germany provides that on the coming
into force of the treaty delivery shall be
made by Germany to the principal allied
and associated Powers of all "dirigibles
able to take the air being manufactured,
repaired or assembled" Pending the
delivery of the dirigibles they are to be
maintained at the expense OF Germany.

pie of the cruel burden OF high
prices. The railways are at the
centre of this whole process.
The Government has taken up
with all It's energy the task of
bringing the proflteer to book, maxi
ing the stocks of necessaries In the
country available at lowered prices,
stimulating production and facili-
tating distribution, and very favor
able results are already beginning
to appear. There is reason to en-
tertain the confident hope that sub
stantial relief will result, and result
in increasing measure. A general
increase in the level of wages
would check and might defeat all
this at its very beginning. Such
Increases would inevitably raise,
not lower. the cost OF living. Man.
ufacturers and producers OF every
sort would have innumerable addi-
tional pretexts for increasing prof.
defeat profteering would be hope
lessly confused.
l believe that the present efforts
to reduce the costs OF living will be
successful, II no new elements of
difficulty are thrown in the way,
and 1 confidently count upon the
men engaged in the service of the
railways to assist, not obstruct. 1t
is much more In their interest to
do this than to insist upon wage
increases which will undo every
thing the Government attempts.
They are good Americans along
with the rest of us and may, l am
sure, be counted on to see the point.
1t goes without saying that II our
efforts to bring the cost OF living
down should fail. after we have had
time enough to establish either
success or failure, 1t will of course
be necessary to accept the higher
costs of living as a permanent basis
of adjustment, and railway wages
should be readjusted along with the
rest. All that l am now urging is
that we should not be guilty OF the
inexcusable inconsistency OF maxi
ing general increases in wages on
the assumption that the present
cost of living will be permanent at
the very time that We are trying
The sun., 1919-08-26

MY FELLOW CITIZENS: A situa-
ton has arisen in connection with
the administration OF the railways
which is of such general signifi-
cance that think 1t my duty to
make public statement concern
ing 1t in order that the whole
country may know what Is in
volved.
The railroad shopmen have de-
manded a large increase in wage.
They are now receiving IS, SO and
IS cents per hour. They demand
So cents per hour. This demand
has been given careful and serious
consideration by the board which
was constituted by the Railroad
OF wages, a board consisting OF an
equal number of representatives Of
employees and Of the operating
managers of the railroad COM
panies. This board has been un-
able to come to an agreement, and
1t has therefore devolved upon the
Director General OF Railroads and
myself to act upon the merits Of
the case.
The shopmen urge that they are
entitled to higher wages because Of
the higher wages for the present
received by men doing a similar
work in sliipyards, navy yards and
arsenals, as well as in a number OF
private industries, but i concur
with the Director General in think
ing that there is no real basis of
comparison between the settled EN-
ployment afforded mechanics by the
railroads under living conditions as
various as the location and sur
roundings of the railway shops
themselves and the fuctuating en-
ployment afforded in industries ex-
ceptionally and temporarily stimu-
lated by the war and located almost
without exception in Industrial CEN
tres where the cost OF living is
highest.
The substantial argument which
the shopmen urge is the very Sc
rious increase in the cost OF living.
This Is very potent argument in
deed. But the fact is that the cost
Of living has certainly reached it's
peak and will probably be lowered
by the efforts which are now every
where being concerted and carried
out 1t will certainly be lowered SO
soon as there are settled conditions
OF production and of commerce;
that is. so soon as the treaty of
peace is ratified and in operation
and merchants, manufacturers,
farmers. miners all have a certain
basis of calculation as to what their
The sun., 1919-08-26

GENTLEMEN: l request that you
lay this critical matter before the
men In a new light. The vote they
have taken was upon the question
whether they should insist upon the
wage increase they were asking or
consent to the submission of their
claims to a new tribunal to be con-
stituted by new legislation. That
question no longer has any life in
it. Such legislation is not now in
contemplation. request that you
ask the men to reconsider the
whole matter in view Of the follow
ing considerations. to which 1 ask
their thoughtful attention as Amer
leans, and which l hope that you
will lay before them as here state
them:
We are face to face with a situa-
ton which is more likely to affect
the happiness and prosperity. and
even the life, of our people than
the war itself. We have now got to
do nothing less than bring our in
dustries and our labor of every
kind back to a normal basis after
the greatest upheaval known in
history, and the winter Just ahead
OF us may bring suffering infinitely
greater than the war brought upon
us If We blunder or fail in the
process.
An admirable spirit. Of self-sac-
rifice, of. patriotic devotion, and Of
community action guided and in
spired us while the fighting was on.
We shall need all these now, and
need them in a heightened degree.
If we are to accomplish the first
tasks OF peace. They are more diff
flcult than the tasks OF war-more
complex, less easily understood
and require more intelligence, pa
tience, and sobriety. We modified
our man power for the fighting, let
us now mobilize our brain power
and our consciences for the recon-
struction. II we fail it will mean
national disaster.
The very first step is to increase
production and facilitate transpor-
tation, so as to make up for the
destruction wrought by the war, the
terrible scarcities it created, and 30
as soon as possible relieve our peo-

business will be and what the con-
ditions will be under which 1t must
be conducted. The demands of the
shopmen, therefore, and all similar
demands are In effect this: that we
make increases in wages, which are
likely to be permanent, in order to
meet q temporary situation which
VII last nobody can certainly tell
how long, but in all probability only
for a limited time.
Increases in wages will, more
over, certainly result in still fur
ther increasing the costs of pro-
duction, and therefore the cost of
living, and we should only have to
go through the same process again.
Any substantial increase of wages
In leading lines of industry at this
time would utterly crush the gem
eral campaign which the Govern
ment is waging with energy, vigor
and substantial hope of success to
reduce the high cost OF living. AND.
the increases in the cost of trans
portation which would necessarily
result from increases in the wages

employees through appppriations
from the public Treasury.
In such circumstances It seems
clear to me, and believe will seem
clear to every thoughtful Ameri-
can, including the shopmen them
selves when they have taken sec
ond thought, and to all wage earn
ers OF every kind, that we ought to
postpone questions of this sort un-
til normal conditions come again
and we have the opportunity for
certain calculation as to the rela-
ton between wages and the cost Of
living. 1t Is the duty of every citi-
zen of the country to insist upon O
truce in such contests until intelli-
gent settlements can be made, and
made by peaceful and effective COM
mon counsel.
appeal to my fellow citizens Of
every employment to cooperate in
Insisting upon and maintaining
such truce. and to cooperate also
In sustaining the Government in
what i conceive to be the only
course which conscientious public
servants can pursue. Demands un-
wisely made and passionately in
sisted upon at this time menace the
peace and prosperity of the country
as nothing else could, and thus con-
tribute to bring about the very re-
suits which such demands are in
tended to remedy.
The wages OF other railway en-
ployees are based upon the rule
that they are to receive for eight
hours work the same pay they re-
ceived for the longer workday that
was the usual standard OF the pre-
war period. This claim is, l am
told. we'll founded, and 1 concur in
the conclusion of the Director Gen
eral that the shopmen ought to be
given the additional 4 cents an hour
which the readjustment asked for
will justify. There are certain
other adjustments also pointed out
in the report of the Director Gen
eral which ought in fairness to be
made and which will be made.
Let me add also that the position
which the Government must In
conscience take against general in
creases in wage levels while the
present exceptional and temporary
circumstances exist will Of course
not preclude the Railroad Adminis-
tration from giving prompt and
careful consideration to any claims
that may be made by other classes
OF employees for readjustments be-
lieved to be proper to secure i'm
partial treatment for all who work
in the railway service.
