cused Of one fault. 1t still insists being old-fash-
Toned in its presentation of facts. The truth good
enough and 4 years of telling the truth the people

Vigorous, of course, when conditions justify it,

More and more customers want the truth told

wholly upon representations made by advertising

sharp reprmand or prompt dismissal.

Easiest Airplane
In Initial Flight
U. S. Army Entrant for French

Special Dispatch to The tribune

DAYTON, Ohio, July 15.-What, on
worlds fastest airplane, designed for
a speed exceeding 800 miles an hour,
received it's initial test to-day at Nc
Cook Field, piloted by Captain R. W.
Schroeder, worlds altitude record
holder. The plane, known as the v. C.
p R., will be the United States army
air service entry in the Gordon Ben
nett international cup races in France
next September.
1t is of special design, and plans
specifications and all details are being
held in the strictest secrecy. No pic
ture Of the plane has been taken and
none is to be allowed until the plane
enters the race. Officials at McCook
Field decline to discuss the plane
other than to express the utmost con-
fdence that it will live up to the
claim made for it that it Is the fastest
airplane in the world.
When asked whether it is Of freak
design, however, it is emphatically
denied. The secret of it's great speed,
they say, lies in its special stream line
A. v. Verville, civilian aeronautical
engineer, who has been stationed at
McCook Field for two years, designed
the plane, the test trial of which was
officially announced as highly success
full. Figures on the performance to-
day will not be made public. One we'll

Longshorenell Ask
Board to Continue
Working Agreement
Benson, After Conference
Held at Washington, Says
That Decision Will Be An
n0unced i'm Near Future

S WASHINGTON, July 15.--Continua~
tion Of the working agreement between
the Shipping Board and longshoremen
employed at the various ports OF the
country was discussed at q conference
to-day between Chairman Benson and
representatives of the International
hongshoremen's Association. At the
conclusion of the conference Chairman
Benson said a decision in the matter
would be announced by the board in
the near future.
At the invitation of Chairman Ben
of Commerce, the Department of Labor
and the War Department attended the
meeting.
The present agreement provides for
q national adjustment commission ha~>
ing jurisdiction over wages and work
ing conditions of the longshoremen
working on the boards vessels. Pro-
vision also is made that unless either
party gives notice Of withdrawal. sixty
days before expiration the agreement
shall continue in force for another
year.
Longshoremen seek continuation of
the agreement, it was said after the
conference, as it centralizes negotia-
tions with the board. New York ship
operators also indorse the agreement
it was stated, cogStending that it's dis
continuance would disturb the already
unsettled conditions in the harbor
Gulf operators, however, urged that
the agreement be discontinued on the
ground that it stands in the way of
the adoption of an "open shop" policy
in the boards dealings with the long
shoremen.
THE Shipping Board will carefully
consider the views expressed and will
undoubtedly announce its decision In
the near future" Chairman Benson
announced. "The board stands for
equality of opportunity of, employment
for any properly qualified longshore-
nnea sand is earnestly seeking the best
means to promote stability and har-
mony in the great longshore industry"
The last award Of the adjustment
commission under which the men are
now working and which provides for
80 cents an hour for an eight-hour day
extends until October /, but it was as
serted that the conference was con-
cerned solely with the ACCESSIBILITY Of
continuing the working agreement.
