general to be an "inconspicuous So 600

The pilots claimed they had inform
ed their superior that certain planes,
reported many times, were unsafe to
travel in. They further asserted they
had asked for stabilizers which in a
fog would show whether the men were
flying an even keel or upside down.
These indicat tors, the men say, cost
SIS, but they were informed, they said,
by Mr.. Praeger that they should steer
by compass. as the turn indicators are
too expensive.
The pilots further complained that
under the present system mechanics
who work in the hangers and never fly
receive equal pay with the men who
risk their lives carrying the aerial
mail. This pay ranges from $4,000 to
$500 a year. they said, varying with
time of service and not skill as a pilot
or in view of perilous service.
The aerial mail pilots are not en-
ployed under the civil service law.
They are civilians with the same
status as postmen. Virtually all of
them are former army aviators.

Philadelphia, July "a Correspond

cost of living is likely to stay high for
long time to come, in the opinion OF
the Philadelphia Board of Trade. This
view is a result of d compilation of

According to these figures the ad-
vance in prices in this country since
1914 has been about 107 per cent. in
Canada 115 per cent. Great Britain 1873
per cent. and France 235 per cent. 1T
is pointed out that. in spite of material
reductions in the price of steel the
advance in other commodities since
the armistice has been so great that
the average price schedules have been
reduced but 81 per cent. below prices
prevailing Oct. l, 1918.
