OPPORTUNITY IS
GIVEN US To GET On
AIRPLANE ROUTE
TranscOntinental Airways Being Map.
ped Out and Maysville Given
Chance to Get On.

Mayor Thomas M. Russell is just in
receipt of the following communica-
ton from the Associated Highways of
America, which is an effort to have
cities and towns make landing place
for Aeroplanes that they may be in
cluded in a transcontinental High
way:
Kansas City, Mo-, September 25, 10.
Inasmuch as it seems that the areo-
plane has reached a state of develop
ment that is dependent on the honey
combing of the country with landing
places before the industry can come
into its own, to secure which 1t will
probably be necessary to carry on ed
ucational campaigns by some patriotic
organization similar to the campaigns
carried on by road organizations and
as the road boosters In each commun-
ity have quite generally been the fell
lows who have forseen the benefits to
be derived by their communities by
these public movements 1t is believed
that they will be the ones who will
take hold of this movement; hence it
has been thought very logical for the
Associated Highway of America, the
largest working combination Of speci-
fic routes, to sponsor the movement
until It could get definite organiza-
ton Of its own.
Therefore we hereby issue call for
representatives from those towns and
cities that believe they can provide
adequate landing fields for aeroplanes
making cross country flights, either
for passenger, mail or freight service
to meet In session at Kansas City. Mo.
Thursday, October 30, 1919, at Hote
Muehlebach, at a. m. for the purpose
Of discussing whether the future out
look for the aeroplane justifies thu
formation of an organization to pro
mote an educational program to Sc
cure landing fields and cooperation
between same; and If so to organize
some such association.
In the initial organization we will
recognize one delegate for each 100
population from any town or city II
the United States (no town to hav'
more than 15 delegate9. appointed b.
the mayor, Chamber Of Commerce o
similar civic organization.
After the convention Is organize,
along these lines we will turn 1t owe
to those present for whatever actor
: they deem wise.
1t has been suggested that the base
ball park which has been leased by
party of local men for amusemen
purposes for next year, would max
| a splendid landing field for airplane
and this field may be offered to tn
highway association by the men con
trolling II for the purpose Of locs
!! landing field. A representative OF tn
! association may come here in the nea
/ future to survey the field and lay
J out for use. This may mean tha
J Maysville will have many airplane
/ coming this way with Maysville as
stopping place.

MEN HAVE RIGHT
TO Be HEARD, IS
G0MPER'S CLAIM
On Stand In Steel Inquiry Gompers
Says Steel Magnets Brought For
eigners Here Who Now
Strike.

Washington, September 26.-The
right of the employees to have some
voice in determining the conditions un-
der which they work Is the paramount
issue in the strike of steel workers,
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, told
the Senate Investigating committee to-
day. Appearing as the second wit
ness for labor, Mr.. Gompers was first
asked by Chairman Kenyon to define
the issues in the controversy.
"The right to be heard is what the
steel workers are asking above all
else," Gompers said. "The right to
speak with their employers trough
their own representatives, to- lave
some voice in determining condition,
under which they work.
"The right of workers to associate
has been denied-denied with all the
power and influence and wealth Of the
steel orporation-denied by brutal
and unwarrantable means.
| ut has been said that most of the
men taking part in this strike are
of foreign birth and not naturalized
citizens. That may be and no doubt
is true. The largest proportion of
steel corporation employees are of for
eign birth, but these men were brought
here by the companies.
There was for years a systematic
effort to bring in these gangs from
Russia. There was a systematic ef-
fort to eliminate Americans. They
have a harvest to reap now"
