AMERICAN NAVAL SEAPLANE
FLIES DISTANCE EQU Al TO
TWO.THIRDS ACROSS OCEAN

Washington, April 26.-A naval sea-
plane attached to the Hampton Roads
base has just completed 2O-hour
flight i'm which it covered a distance
of 1850 miles. the navy department
was advised late today by the com
mandant at Norfolk. This distance
is about twothirds of that which the
scapane squadron must cover ON the
proposed transatlantic flight from New
EOundland.
This is the longest flight ever made
by a naval soaplaue, and as the craft
is smaller than those which Commander
John II. Towers will take overseas,
naval officers believe its performance
augurs well FOR the success Of the
transatlantic flight.

 The imported strike breakers are mostly herded, fed and housed inside
 he mills where we can't get in touch
 with them so we haven't made much
 effort to do any organizing among them.
 Many of them are getting disgusted
 with conditions inside the mills and they are coming out in small numbers but
 in every case, so far as 1 know, they immediately leave the city. It looks as
 if the plants would have to begin all over again their efforts to rake in strike breakers. So many of the first crop have left and the rest are dWindling so steadily that there soon will be only a corporaps guard left"
 Reports continue to come in about de- fective steel turned out. Secretary J. A. Warrington writes from New Castle : T was at E1wood City on Friday and found that on the 10th 24 cars of tube were switched out of the Shelby plant I22 car loads of these came back re- Ijected by inspectors-all had defective seams. The men at E1wood are real stickers-the Weak-lueed have been eliminated and there is no sort of doubt about the staying power of tFose lads now out there.

 go on with the fight and they voted unanimously to stick right through.

 The only question left undecided is the percentage of alcohol to be pre- scribed, Some favor limiting it to 2.75, while others favor not specifying alco- holiC content.
 Those in favor of not naming the alcoholic content i'll the bill" said one of it's packers yesterday, hold with Governor-elect Edwards of New Jersey that beer is not intoxicating. Beers, exclusive of the ales. have seldom been in excess of 41a per cent. This, Of course, would be ignoring the section of the Voltsead act which defines as in toxicating any beverage containing more than 15 per cent. of alcohol. But 1 be- 1ieve the legislature of New York is as competent as congress to define what is intoxicating"
 The bill will impose fees for licenses ranging from $50 to $250, depending on the size of the municipality. The low est fee also will cover the sale of beer in groceries and other stores.
