AIRPLANE ALTITUDE RECORD

In his final attempt to establish a
new altitude record, Roland Rohlfs,
test pilot for the Curtiss Engineering
Corporation, On Thursday, September
10, broke all existing official and un-
official worlds records by climbing to
heighth of 81 $40 feet. The feat was
accomplished in an official test made
at the Roosevelt field in a Curtis
Wasp, machine designed and built
by the Curtiss Engineering Corpora
ton for the United States navy last
year.
Before Thursdays flight Rahlfs
held the worlds official record of 3d.
300 feet, but Adjutant Casale, a
French pilot, was credited with an
unofficial record of 33,173 feet and it
was this mark that Rohlfs determined
to better.
The fact that the Curtiss K-12 had
a 400 horse power motor with two
magnetos enabled Rohlfs to get
ceiling of 1850 feet without the aid
of super-charger is considered by
aeronautical men as being wonder
full demonstration of the ability of
the motor.
A day after he had accomplished
this flight Rholfs established a new
climbing record by attaining $4,000
feet in the remarkable time of min
utes, AZ 3-5 seconds. These two per-
formances already give the Wasp
three new worlds records, for at Day
ton, Ohio, last year, Rholfs made 1853
miles per hour with full military
load
Rholfs began his flight at 12:0614
his wheels leaving the ground in ex-
actly six seconds. Pointing his ma
chine almost vertically, he was soon
lost to view. An hour and three quar-
tiers later he landed The paragraphs
were officially observed, witnessed
and attested to by the official OBJ
servers and by Rholfs himself.
''There is one thing about this
flight, SAID RholfS, and that is the
fact that it was accomplished without
the aid of super-chargers. Ordinary,
everyday gasoline was used, from
which my strong magnetic spanked
every ounce of power and the equip
ment was all standard.

BEWARE OF BOLSHEVISM
SAYS COOPER TO LABOR
Republican Union Representative
Warns His Fellow WOrkmen
Against Radical Leaders

Washington, D. c., Oct. 9.-"The
great problem which confronts us at
this time is how are we going to get
back to normal conditions again and
bring back to our people that feeling
of content and happiness we have en-
ioyed in the past in this country"
Representative John G. Cooper, of
Ohio, a unionlabor man, told the
house.
All over our land today we see and
hear of the feeling of unrest. Discon-
tent and dissatisfaction seem to be
prevalent wherever we go. AS we read
our newspapers we get reports of the
very disturbed conditions among the
working classes employed in our in
dustries and our mines. We read of
strike after strike, until it seems as
if our wheels of industry have stopped.
We read of some members of labor
organizations who refuse to obey the
mandates of their officials and defy
their orders, and strike after their
officers have ordered them not to
cease work. One of the best evil
dences of this condition is that in the
last two or three months the officials
of some of the railroad brotherhoods
have expelled many men from their or
CARNATIONS for disobeying official
orders.
7 am one of those who believe that
many of our great labor leaders are
LOYAL American citizens who are inter
ested, not only in the welfare of the
members of their organizations, but
also in the welfare of all the people
of our nation. But I do not hesitate
to say that it appears as if these con-
sentative labor leaders may be pushed
aside in order to let a more radical
element to take their places. I want
to try to warn the American laboring
man not to be led astray by these
radical, so-called labor leadels, who
would overthrow our form of govern
ment and destroy the sacred institu
tions which in the past have been
near and dear to the hearts of the
American people.
'T have now and always have had
a warm feeling in my heart for the
working classes, and I stand ready to
assist them at any time in efforts to
better their conditions. believe in
the eight-hour day and also believe
that the time has come when men
who work with their hands should
have a fairer portion of the profits
that industry earns. I further be-
lieve in the right of collective bar
gaining, and trust the day will soon
come when there will be closer, more
friendly cooperation between mana
gers and men. But I want to solemn
ly warn the workers against agita-
tors"

do so in pursuance of combination
OF agreement with intent substantial
ly to hinder, restrain or prevent the
movement of commodities or persons
in interstate commerce. He must act
on his own individual initiative, eXer-
cising his own judgment as to his own
individual welfare, and not bind him
self to act in collision with or at the
command of some other person.
"There is no other provision of the
Cummins railroad bill more important
than this. With that section enacted
into law, business in the United States
may proceed with utmost confidence
that there will be no material inter-
ruption of railroad traffic. Any man
who is dissatisfied with his employ
ment on a railroad will be at full lib
erty to quit. He may take more prof
table employment in some other voca-
ton. But when he ceases his employ
ment there will be liberty for the rail
road to employ some one in his place
and keep the traffic of the United
States moving. With the anti-strike
section enacted, business men, large
or small, engaged in commerce, either
foreign or domestic, may enter into
contracts for future performance with
reasonable assurance that, so far as
transportation is concerned, they will
be able to fulfill all the obligations
they assume"

THE KEYNOTE TO PROSPERITY

Washington, Oct. 9-The Republi
can Publicity Association thru its
President, Jonathan Bourne, Jr., to-
day gave out the following statement
from its Washington headquarters:
"The magnitude and compleXity of
such as to make our transportation
system the key to our prosperity. Not
only domestic trade, but foreign trade
as well depends upon continuous OPP
GRAFTON of the railroads In scarcely
any line of enterprise can an individ-
ual or corporation make contract for
the performance of future acts unless
dependence can be had on regular
railroad traffic. No man engaged in
construction can undertake the cree
ton of a building unless he knows
that his supply of lumber, hardware,
lime and paint will be available when
desired. No dealer in grain or flour
or feed can undertake obligations

ton. No exporter OF American COM
modities to foreign markets can bind
himself to supply The needs of foreign
buyers unles he knows that the rail
roads which bring the commodities
from the interior 20 the seaboard will
be in operation when the time comes
for him to fulfill his contract.
practically all undertakings Of a
business nature in the United States
are based upon the assumption that
there i'll be no interruption of rail
road traffic other than that which may
be caused locally by storms OF mis-
haps which interfere with transrofa-
ton for a few hours or days at the
most.
"This dependence OF business upon
railroad transportation furnishes the
reason for that clause in the Cum
Minis railroad bill which makes it a
crime for two or mora persons 20 en-
ter into any combination or agreement
with intent substantially to hinder, re-
strain or prevent the movement of
commodities or persons in interstate
commerce. In order not to infringe
upon individual liberty, that section of
the bill also provides that nothing
therein contained shall be taken to
deny to any individual the right to
quit his employment for any reason.
Taken together, these two provisions
of the bill, if enacted, will permit any
employee to quit his employment on
railroad at any time; but he must not
