dence and swear the witnesses in order
in great many instances to get it all.
II understand that in one case the
Civil Service Commission, performing
what I believe to be its sworn duty
under the law, made an investigation
where charge was made of political
activity on the part Of one of the en-
ployes Of the Postoffice Department.
The charge was made that he had VIC
lated the law. do not believe it will
be necessary for me to cite the statute
to the Senate, but in the civil service
act there are certain political activi-
ties on the part of governmental Off
Gals that are made criminal, and out
in California, I believe it was, where
such a charge was made against one
Of the employees of the Postoffice De-
partmcnt for trying to get political
contributions from employees of the
government, the Civil Service Commits
sion made an investigation, became
convinced that the charge was true,
and the official against whom the
charge was made was arrested and in
dicted by grand jury. and, under
stand, on trial pleaded guilty and paid
fine; so that he stands convicted of
the crime in court.
"The Civil Service Commission
thought that was sufficient reason for
the removal by the Postmaster General
of any employc in his department so
found guilty. Notwithstanding the fact
that they called the attention Of the
Postmaster General to the fact and
asked for the removal from Office of
this man, he was not removed, he is
still in the service and l believe that
the evidence will disclose that the
Postmaster General has promoted him.

Dumont has been touring the republics
OF South America studying the pros
poets Of aerial navigation within their
realms. An important report, based
upon these studies, will soon be made
public. This report may offer the 3D.
portunity for American manufacturers
OF airplanes to tide them over the
period OF reconstruction that is inter
venlng between the close Of the war
and the establishment Of commercial
aviation in this country.
Speaking of the future of aviation in
the southern republics of this hemi
sphere, he said:
There Is a fine opportunity in Bra

opmsnt Of the country. 1t is a ve,v

II knew as l sat in the gondola of
my airship," he said, chat one day
the Atlantic Ocean would be crossed
by such a ship. l made the prediction
in my mind then. l made it later in
nay book, but l did not think it would
occur so soon.
"But to me the airship is not the
future vehicle Of travel through the

faster than the fastest steamship. 1t
can go across the Atlantic in three
days, but the airplane can make the
same journey in less than one day.
THAT is the answer to aerial de-

velopment, I believe. The airplane IS
fully developed. Everything now de-
Ponds upon the motor. The motor of
the alrplane is now in the same con-
dition as the motor of the automobile

BILE
"The airplane occasionally has en-
CINE trouble now and is compelled to
descend at places not in the intention
of the pilot. sBut the time will come
very shortly now when the airplane
engine will be fully as dependable and
reliable as the motor of the auto
mobile, and then aerial navigation will
be on sound, everyday basis.
The design and construction Of air
planes have reached a point where
they are scientifically correct. Very
little further improvement can be
added to them. 1t possibly may be
that metal will be substituted for
fabric in wing construction, and in
place of veneer in body construction,
but the basic principles will remain.
Airplanes are now strong, safe and
reliable in design and construction.
The great development of the future
will be in the engines.

engine type. This despite the fact

continued the labor leader. "Just
because certain individuals, greatly
in the minority, abuse alcohol and
misuse the rights Of free speech,
free assembtage and free press that
is no reason why the millions of

be deprived Of these privileges.
The masses should not be made to

Continuing, the speaker said that
labor would organize throughout
the country IN order that it might
voice it's protest against the sup
preston of the liberties of the peo-
pie. He said it cannot help but
arouse the antagonism of the peo-
pie to find that now that the war is
won they do not enjoy even as much
liberty as they did before going
through the tolls and hardships of
war.
