THE FLIERS WILL FLY.

1t seems rather absurd all this talk of preparing to
fly the Atlantic down the length of continent
around the north p0e Because something always
prevents the flight from actually taking place. And acc
dents and delays and prevenons seem so numerous and
somehow out Of proportion to the seriousness Of the plan
Flying the Atlantic, for instance is big job
Only extremely skillfu guidance, could do it. Surely
would think every precautOn would have been taken
for facing the weather Yet windstOrm or a fall of
rain other thing which seems very small to
landsman in proportion to what must be faced the trip
to hold it off, And the fers seem to smash up
themselves their machines with dsconcerng ease and
very close to shore.
Two conclusions apt to occur to the general read
err Either the armen who make these plans taking
hdeousy unequal chances at this stage of development
of this craft or else the talk is all bluff.
The former of these is undoubtedly true. Air
machinery has not yet been developed to point where
such voyage could possibly be considered safe. But of
course first voyages must be made before the conditions
be known well enough to show the lines of necessary
development. 1t took more than Columbus to chart
the sea lanes
The talk is not all bluff 1t may be premature 1t is
doubtful whether anyone will really get the thing done
before June. II may take longer But the constant talk
the many plans, due to the fact that everyone is
pecting it. No longer believes it impossible. The
rest is only matter of time and ingenuity
1t is foolish to expect to rapid growth of air traf
fic There is a whole element to be conquered and
almost everything about it is yet to be learned
But while restraining impatence, it does not pay
either to yield to scepcsm The air is mans next field
of conquest The cautiously the early moves are
made, the suTer will be the later development.

EXCESSIVE PROFITS
Prices of Shoes Due to All Handlers
Charging Too Much

Washington, d. c., Aug. 6.-The high
price OF shoes was declared to be due
TO excessive profits taken by every
factor in the shoe industry in a re-
port by the federal trade commission
to Congress made public today, The
packers were charged with having be-
gun the pyramiding of shoe prices by
an unwarranted increase in the price
of hides the supply of which they were
said TO control. On the top of this in
crease it was charged. the tanners
have -aken exceptional profits" while
the shoe manufacturers have demanded
an unusual margin and the retail
ers have charged prices that are mot
"justifiab, e."
The commissions report covering
the four.year period from 1914 to 1918.
is the result of an exhaustive inquiry
into the price of hides, leather and
shoes begun more than year ago, It
was said. 1t has been in the presi-
dents hands for some time. and il is
understood that he urged its speedy
printing and transmittal to Congress
in connection with efforts of the gov
eminent to combat the high cost Of
living.
To show that the packers during the
last four years have made unwarrant
ed increases in the price of packer
hides. the report pointed out that the
price differential between their hides
and country hides-hides of lower
grade--has increased far beyond the
usual proportions" Charges CT excess
siye profits against the tanner and the
shoe manufactures were said to be sup
ported by the high rates OF return
on Investments" in both industries
following the price increases.
THE public said the report, had
to pay prices fer shoes that not only
could not be justified because retail
shoe dealers had to pass on to the con
sumner the excessive profits received
by butchers for hides and also the ex-
cess profits of tanners and shoe man
ufacturers."

prices paid by consumers for shoes

SLATE WORKERS STRIKE
Those in Western Vermont Demand
Advance of 10 Cents an Hour

Granville, N. Y. Aug. 6-The quar-
rymen employed by the various con-
Germs constituting the American Con
solidated Sea Green Slate company
known as the SLATE trust about 5000
in number struck Monday for an adj
vance of 10 cents an hour in wages
and as a result all of the quarries in
South Poultney and West Pawlet. Vt,
and this town are closed. Seyedal con
ferences have been he'd but two
cent an hour increase was all that the
company would allow.
The men are now drawing from 80
to 80 cents an hour and they state
that they will stand out for straight
10 cents an hour increase, claiming
that they are not getting living wage
They have been working nine hours a
day and they have made no demand for
shorter hours.
The quarrying concerns in the Amer
lean Consolidated are Norton Brothers
Sheldon company. Owens Brothers,
Rising & Nelson. A. G. Williams
OBrien Brothers, Aud & Conger and
the Progressive Slate Co.
The men. whose union is headed by
Hugh Griffith, claimed that the com
panies have a large stock of slate pi-
ed on the banks OF the quarries and
are in a position to fight strike with
out loss Of business This, they
claim. accounts in large measure for
the arrogant attitude adopted by the
concern.
