UNION OF TERRITORY
 TO HOLD CONVENTION

Complete plans for the organiza- ton in a unit of the Alaska Labor Union will be completed at the All Alaska convention, which is sche'I. ulcd to be held at Juneau. October 10 according to II. V. HenrikSon, sccre- tary of Local No. ,, located at Kct- chikan.
 At present, according to Mir. Hen. rikSon, there is no territorial organ ation of the union.
 "The first chapter was organized at Anchorage" said Mir. Hendrickson, "and that local has taken the lead in the affairs of the union. AS more were organized in all parts of Alaska the need for a territorial organization became more apparent. The affairs are now administered by the Anchor age chapter.
 At the Juneau convention, at which representatives of all the local organizations will meet to\ether, a general set of officers will be selected. Their headquarters will probably be at Juneau, on account of it's central location.
 "The Ketchikan local has taken the lead in the affairs of southeastern Alaska" continued AIr. HenderickSOn as this is the largest branch in tho territory. A branch was recently or. ganized at Craig, but up to that time all A. L. |. men who were in the vi. cinity were members of No. D."

SILENCE HAD BEEN BETTER.

1t was very unsraceful Of Harry G. Hawker. unsuc-
transatlantic flier, to sneer at the successful
American officers who piloted the NC-4 all the way from
New Foundland to the Azores and thence to Portugal.
and admirers of the Australian aviator had hardly ex-
pected it Of him. He is, however, reported to have made
some sarcastic remarks about Commander Reads ex-
petition at a luncheon which the London Daily Mail gave
in honor of the rescued flier, but it is significant that his
deprecatory remarks were greeted with dead silence by
the 500 EnElshmcn WHIT were present.
.. When Hawker said that the American naval flight
was not "a serious attempt" he spoke like a fool and not
like an Anglo-Saxon sportsman, for all the world now
knows that not only was the NC-4 flight seriously pre-
pared and planned, but it was also brought to a success
full end. That's more than can be said about Hawker's
own attempt which ended in failure. t
There is no disposition anywhere to underrate the
daring and the coolheadedncss which Hawker displayed
when he "hopped or for his European air journey-in
fact, he is being hailed and admired as though his failure
were a glory. For that reason, if for no other, it would
seem that if Hawker could find nothing praiseworthy to
have found it not only more prudent, but also more gen.
tlemanlike, to say nothing at all. His remarks were UNI
called for and will most likely be interpreted as an ir-
ritated losers jealousy expressed at a moment when he
is showered with honors and compliments because of an
achievement which he was unable to carry through.
For his own sake, Hawker should have shown better
sense.

AIRCRAFT LEGISLATION

Ever since man began to initiate the flight Of birds,
the question of his amenableness to national and interna-
tional laws has been discussed by jurists who realized
that some day the air would be SO densely filled with
man-birds that laws must be formulated for the govern
ing Of their conduct. That day has not yet arrived, but.
Judging from interesting signs of the age, it is not very
remote and for this reason a reopening of the legal prom
lens Is wholly justified.
The peace congress at Paris numbers among its many
special commissions one on aeronautics, and its members,
legal experts as well as aviators. appear to have reached
an agreement as to the foundation upon which the law
of the air should be built.
An outline of the suggestions and recommendations
made was cabledi to this country on Wednesday, and de-
spite its brevity We are able to see that the field has been
pretty thoroughly covered.
For Identification purposes each airplane must state
its nationality and also be supplied with a registration
number-something, perhaps. like the automobile license
numbers used on terra firma. Certificates as to the air
worthiness of the craft will be required; log books will be
carried; a code of lights and other signals is to be drafted;
a map of the air world will be drawn; plans for gathering
material concerning meteorological facts will be adopted;
rules governing the departure and landing of airplants
are totbe converted into rigid legal terms. and legislation
governing the passage above foreign territory is recon-
mended by the commission.
THE freedom of the air. has not as yet been subject
to subtle interpretations by international jurists as has the
much debated freedom of the seas but if aviators have
been proceeding on the theory that they would be above
the law in something more than a mere physical sense,
it seems clear that they will be forced to- rid themselves
of that inspiring deception.
1t is to be hoped that future aeronautical legislation
will provide for rules against needless stunts" in the air:
there have been too many of them, and the result has too
often been disastrous. Furthermore, no matter how dar-
ing certain tricks may be to the adventures of the upper
atmosphere. no matter how effectualy they stimulate the
public morbidity, they demonstrate nothing of practical
value. Experience has amply proved that the sanest and
most conservative men among the filters have a right to
expect success, and that useless daredevilry can cater only
to those who love sensationalism for it's own foolish sake.
All the strata of the air-and all future-lie open to
the intrepid aviator: he knows that certain natural laws
cannot be defied with impunity, and being reasonable he
will recognize the necessity of establishing certain laws
made BY his fellow-men for their own as we'll as for his
protection.
