think that there are good prospects ahead
for the company ?-R. ]. s.

nually. While the outlook for the
manufacture of aeroplanes is perhaps
none too bright, nevertheless the Cur
tiss company is said to be capable of
turning out q good product, and it is
quite possible the company is in better
condition, financially, than might be
indicated by the prices of the shares

of the federation said tonight that
an explanation of the movement
would be made public tomorrow. The
committee formulating plans was APP
pointed by Mr.. Gompers, in accord
with instructions given by the general
labor conference held here last Dec.
13 to put into effect the declaration
of principles" adopted at that time.
Representative in Congress whose
record show them to be unfriendly to
organized labor, it was said by MEM
bers of the committee will be opposed
vigorously for reelection and new can
didates hostile to labors' interest
will meet the same opposition. Every
craft affiliated with the organizers
will be put in field. The Federation
now claims membership of more than
100000.
In addition the campaign will be
carried into state and local primaries
and elections and an attempt made to
obtain governors, judges and legisla-

countries will be presented through
the Military Attaches Ct the allied
countries, while Porto Rico, Alaska,
Manila and Hawaii will be distributed

partment commanders of the Ameri-
can Legion.
The certificate shows group figure
from the centopath in the Avenue DIES
Champs Elysee, Paris. In the scroll
above are the dates "1914-1919."
Above the group is quotation from
Victor Hugo, which freely translated

reads: ITO the memory of. .........
of the United States of America, who
died for liberty during the war, the
Homage of France" and the engraved
signature of the President of the
French Republic, Raymond Poincare.
The honor roH is made up of 1917
