British to Help
Patrol Atlantic
For Ocean Flight
Hundred Naval Vessels, as
Well as Many Transports,
To Be Along Course When
Planes Make Great Trip

WASHINGTON, April 2.-British de-
stroyers will cooperate with the Amer
lcan navy in patroling the course to
be followed by American naval sea-
planes in the projected fight across
the Atlantic next month. 1t was
learned to-day at the Navy Department
that from forty to fifty British ships
would be on duty from the Azores to
the British Isles, where, under present
plans, the flight will end.
American destroycrs will patrol the
course from st. Johns, n r., to the
Azores. From fifty to sixty of the
craft Will be used, and they will be
stationed at intervals of less than 200
miles.
Along the greater part of the course
there will be an almost continuous
stream of army transports going to and
returning from France, and these vcs-
sells Will form additional safeguards
Tor the crews of the planes in event
accidents force any of them to descend.
With reasonably good weather, how
water while minor repairs we're made
to the motors.
Under present plans there will be
i've men IN the crew of each of the
two or three planes to make the start.
Besides the navigating officer in COM
mand, there will be two pilots, radio
operator and mechanician. Later,
however, it may be decided to add an
additional pilot.
The course Of the flight will be com
pletcl y charted i'll advance by naval
vessels. Careful study is now being
made of weather conditions and the
winds usually prevailing, this data hay
ing been gathered by the weather bu-
reau and by government ships.
AS the result of recent experiments
with radio telephones, some naval Of
fcers believe it will be possible for
the planes to be in communication with
shore throughout the flight. Each boat
also Will be equipped with wireless
outfits, so as to maintain contact with

henslve review of the labor outlook in
oahada. The situation with which the
country was confronted, he said, was
an intense and ever growing desire on
the part of workingmcn that there
should be a greater meausre of indus
trlai democracy, through which they
would have some voice in the control
and conduct of industries.
Meets Capitalization Problem
inns attitude was largely born of the
tact that, whereas in days gone by the
vast majority of employers were pro
prletors of the industries and a meas
ure of cooperation and loyalty existed
between them and their workers, they
were confronted now by vast CEN
trallzatlon of capital which made con-
tact act impossible and loyalty extremely
The result was that employees were
compelled to organize and to strive for
talr conditions under which to give
their labor, and this, in turn, brought

Compromise Wage Offered
by Boat Owners Is Ac-
cepted i'll Secret Ballot,
29l to l54, After Fight
Garbage Trouble Ends
Policemen to Man Tugs of
Cahill Co. Leased by City;
Navy Declines to Give Aid

The Lighter Captains Union voted
compromise wage scale offered by the
private boat owners through T. Y.
OConner, international president of
the Longshoremens Association. The
Marine Workers Affiliation, and also
to the scrutiny of a regular l-eeting of
the lighter men to be held Saturday
night.
The matter of disposing Of the city's
garbage, which has been in dispute for
several days, was settled temporarily
Yesterday by Mayor Hylan arranging
with the Cahll Towing Company for
the use of one of its tugs, which will
be manned by members of the Police
Department. The tug will begin work
this morning. The Cahill company
had previously refused to charter tug
to the city unless it could be manned
by non-union men.
Leaders of the Marine Workers Affil-
iation said last night that approval of
the compromise accepted by the
lighter captains would be refused at
meeting of the strike committee to
DC held this morning. This will leave
the lighter men where they were, for
without the approval of the Afiliatlon,
union tugs, necessary to their Work,
will not haul them, and should they
be hauled by non-union tugs there is
doubt as to whether the longshoremen
would work on cargo they might
,andle.
After All-Day Clash
The vote to return at less wages for
longer hours than 70 per cent of the
lighter men are now receiving from
railroads and independent owners
came after an allday clash between
James Mcclure, president of the
Lighter Captains Union and chair
man of the general strike committee,
and O'Conner. O'Conner had called
a meeting for Yesterday morning in
the union hall. This Mcclure blocked
and returned to Manhattan.
Those friendly to O'Conncr there
upon hired Pilgrim Hall and proceeded
TO hold meeting yesterday afternoon,
with Stephen Condor. secretary of the
union and of the Marine Affiliation,
in the chair. To this meeting. O'Con-
ner presented the boat owners propo-
sition. 1t calls for SIG, S27 and 500
week on various classes of boats, an
eleven hour day, $3.50 for night work
watching or towing and time and one
half for overtime. The railroad scale
is $l.6l a week higher, the men work
nine hours in ten and 50 n night is
paid for watching or towing.
O'Conner Defies Opposition
In presenting this proposition O'Con-
ner defended himself from his critics
and defied those who opposed him. He
challenged any man, he said, to show
where he had not played square, and
he announced his intention of running
the affairs of the international Long
shoremen's Association as he might
deem best
Mr.. Mcclure opposing the O'Connor
proposition, asked the mon if they
wished to work for less than 70 per
cent of their fellows were recciv-
ing. He maintained that "snap
meeting had no right to cut the wages
OF the majority of the union, and pre-
dicted that the Marine Workers Aflili-

kitchin Says Tariff
Plan of Republican
Leaders Will Fail
Predicts Wilson Would NOT
Approve Revision Ac!
Drafted by Pcnrose and

Nc'o Yorh T'ribuns
WQshi1UtO1, Rurenu

W washington bureau
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Failure Of
any attempt by the next Republican
House to enact n revision of the I'm
dcrwood tariff act was predicted here
to- day by Claude Ktchin, Democratic
leader and chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee in the last Congress.
While Mr.. Kitchin's statement was
reserved he let it be known that i1
Democratic circles the opinion is held
that President Wilson never will an
prove tariff act drafted by Senator
Pcnrosc, of Pennsylvania, and Repre-
sentative Fordney, Of Michigan, who
will head respectively the Finance
Committee of the Senate and the Ways
and Means Committee of the House in
the next Congress.
Moreover, Mr.. Kitchin expressed the
opinion that the Republicans will cx-
pcrcncc the greatest difficulty in
drafting tariff legislation, which would
be acceptable to all sections Of the
country if they undertake the task at
the next session of Congress. If the
Democrats had retained control of the
House, he declared, there would have
been no attempt at tariff revision.
"Conditions are too unstable to
justify any revision of the tariff at
this time" said Mr.. Kitchn. "Of
course, it would be possible to re-
wise the Underwood tariff act, but in
thirty days the provisions of the re-
VISION might be totally inapplicable
in the continually changing economic
conditions which characterize the
present day. With the Democrats in
power in the next House there would
have been no attempt to revise the
Underwood act"

1T Is part of Mr., Wilson'S function to

PARENTS URGED TO

The lack of interest which many par

in all the churches has been a matter
which has been frequently commented
upon In churches Of all denominations
This unfortunate condition has been
brought forcibly to the attention of
members of the Episcopal church during

COAL SHORTAGE MAY
STOP R. |. TRAINS

Very little change in the local situa-
tion Of the railroads operating out Of
Memphis was noted Wednesday insofar
MS the supply OF coal was concerned.
The Illinois Central railroad had on
hand "Wednesday morning SIS cars of
coal, while ether roads reported that
their situation showed very little change
from previous reports,
Information received from Little
Rock, however, was to the effect that
the Rock Island and Iron Mountain
railroads were IN immediate need of n
coal supply and that the supply on
hand would last only Is hours.
Prediction was made that unless al &.
dltIona supplies were received the
train leaving Little Rock at noon to-
day from Memphis would be unable to
operate after Wednesday It was also
stated that efforts were being made te
secure coal In order TO keep passenger
trains In operation between Little Rock
and Tcxarkana
Railroad officials at Little Rock were
inclined Wednesday to think that II
would be necessary to discontinue op-
Grafton Of the train from Little Rock
to Memphis unless supply of coal was
Immediately secured and they ex-
pressed very little hope OF being able
to do this,
