.LAUCK PRESENTS
 LONG ARGUMENT Gives Reasons Why National Rail Agreements Should
 Be Continued
By Associated Press

Chicago, March 29.-Applying the con ditions in other industries which led to national agreements to the railroad in- dustry, W. Jett Lauck, consulting econ omist for the railway unions today pre- scented voluminous argument in favor of national agreements on railroads. MT Lauck presented his testimony before the railway labor board as part of the evidence in support of the unions con should be continued.
 Organization of employees as well as organization of unions has become na- tion wide because the industries them selves have become nationwide" Mir Lauck said in presenting an exhibit or the movement toward national agree. ments
 'Tn no industry is it more important than in transportation that sound basis for national unity be laid Mir Lauck declared. That tlss individual railroads should be consolidated into co-ordnate6 systems is clearly recognized in the transportation act by it's provisions fol combinations. the permission to pool pur cndSeS a1id the eStaDllSnment or nd tional labor board.''
 Statistics and data covering the origir and operation of national agreements iE the stove industry, glass bottle indus try, pottery, clothing manufacturing an6 coal mining industries, and in typograph ical and electrical workers unions were presented by MT. Lauck. He traced the development of labor organizations fror a local to a national scale and quoted labor historians as stating that nc change in industrial technique had ever had so simultaneous an effect upon al industries as had the sudden extension: os markets due to the railroad consolida tions of the fifties.
 National agreements in other indus tries, he said, tended to show that in dustrial peace was attained by nationa agreement; that establishment of uni formity was socially important; tha unions do observe their contracts; tha national agreements must cover working conditions; that trade agreements ar, not inconsistent with the open shop anc that such trade agreements tended t, humanize the industrial situation.

DISAPPEARANCE OF
 FOUR AWATORS IS
 PUZZLING OFFICERS
By Associated Press

Washington, March 29.-The four ma rine corps avators who left the naval air station here in two planes early this afternoon on the first leg of their flight to the Virgin Islands. had not been heard from tonight either by naval officers or at points in the south. They had in tended to make their first stop at Fay etteville, N. C., $40 miles distant but did not put in an appearance either there or at Langley field, Va, which had been considered as an alternative stopping place in their plans.
 The disappearance of the aviators was complete, notwithstanding inquiries at a score of points where it was thought pos sible they might have landed. The only fact which served to relieve the anxiety of officials was the improbablity that disaster could have overtaken both planes simultaneously. The theory was advanced that. perhaps one had been forced down in an isolated spot and the other had descended to assist in repair work.
 The craft left here at 02 p. m., the first being occupied by Maj. Thomas c. Turner, chief of the marine corps avia- tion and Lieut.. B. c. Bradley, chief test pilot of the navy and marine corps, and the second by Lieut. D. H. Sander son. pilot, and Gunner Serg. Charles W. Fucker.
