TO LAUNCH AIRPLANES
FROM DECKS OF SHIPS

WASHINGTON, oct Is. - The
first complete catapult for launching
airplanes from the decks OF battle
ships IS now ready for inStallment
at the Hampton ROadseair station.
For some time. light single scatter

flown from platforms on the tops Of
battleship turrets. the short run

give them the necessary lift, but
this system was not applicable to
heavier planes and was found 10 in

The newly developed catapuit
however, gives the necessary impetus
under any conditions and will not

Walker ID. Hines Returns to
America Following Sixteen
Months Work in Europe.

NEW YORK. oct. 16.-Walter D.
Hines. former director general Of
the railroad administration, return
ing on la Savoi from Europe Sun
day expressed the opinion that re-
suits Of three years earnest efforts
to overcome the wars destruction
were disappointingly short Of the re-
quirements. He had been abroad 16
months acting as arbiter for the
council of ambassadors in Paris in
allocating river shipping Of the
former central powers Of the vari-
Gus allied governments.
"a great deal OF property repara-
ton has been accomplished" Mr..
Hines said, land business has found
ways to reestablish itself TO a sub
stantiaI extent, but so far there
seems little prospect Of relief from
other evils following the war-the
heavy but still inadequate taxation.
the instability Of currencies, the i'm
pairment of public credit, the unem-
ployment, the interferences with in
adequate feeding and clothing Of
populations and the intensified hat
red and distrust which are manifest
ed I'm both foreign and domestic
politics in the various countries I
have observed.
Greater Burdens.
LAS is always the case. these
things translate themselves into
greater burdens and hardships on
the masses Of the people"
If new wars do not intervene, Mr..
Hines asserted, the worlds recuper-
ative power would overcome these
obstacles.
But we should aid with cur whole
strength" he added, the effort TO
diminish the prospects Of future war
and 10 that end we should give our
support TO every national effort that
promises TO aid in promoting better
understanding in the world, or IN
saving It from burdens and menaces
of undue armament I believe our
own country is in position 10 do far
more in this great movement than
any other country in the world"
Mr. Hines said some means should
be found TO prevent the threatened
railroad strike which would be a
disaster TO the United States.

Suggest Scheme
To 4 cert Strike
Of Rail Workers
Public Group of the Railway
Board Favors Proposal Of
fered by Rail Official.

Washington, oct. immediate
translation OF 'he reduction author
ICED last July IN wages OF railroad
employees into reduced freight rates,
was suggested by the public group
OF the railroad labor board Sunday
night as one feasible plan by which
the present controversy can be set
tied and a strike averted
IF the railroads win immediate
ly, IN good faith adopt this sug.-
gestion," tho public group said in
the first statement issued since ar
rival in Washington, "the situation
can be cleared up, freight rates re-
duced 10 shippers, the cost Of living
reduced 20 consumers, and a stimu-
lating effect exerted upon all bust
ness.
Withdraw Request.
Under the plan suggested by the
public group, the railroads would
withdraw their request for further
wage reductions until freight reduc-
tons have been completed and
pending action Of the board on
such petition for further reductions
as the carriers may subsequently
submit" the unions would with
draw the strike order.
The suggestion OF the public group
for a settlement OF the controversy
was based, the statement said. on
one Iut forward by W. w Alter
bury, vice president Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, before a convention
in Chicago last Friday.
Immediate reduction in freight
rates, il was asserted, would inure
to the benefit OF the railroad en-
ployes and would constitute one OF
the statutory grounds for a further
reduction in wages while through
reduction OF the cost Of material, Il
wOult 10 that extent relieve the rail
roads OF the necessity OF relying
solely upon wage cuts for a reduc-
ton OF their operating expenses"
The statement which was given
out by Ben w. Hooper, a member
OF the groop who said it was draft
ed by the entire membership, fol-
lows:
Fact Well known.
up until Friday. there was but
little, If any danger OF a railroad
strike. This fact is well known q
! every man in close touch with the
real situation. The railroad worker,
would have brought down upor
their heads universal condemnation
for resisting by force a wage cut Sc
manifestly just and reasonable as
that made in July. IL may likewise
| be said that il remains TO be seer
der merely because a petition for a
wage reduction is about 10 be filed
viii be sustained by public opinion
THE railroad labor board has
functioned for more than IS month";
setting hundreds OF controversies
between carriers and their employees
and its decisions, with but few ex-
ceptions have been respected by
| both sides. There would have been
strike long ago, if the two parties
! had undertaken 10 settle without in
tervention or supervision the mani
| fold disputes they inherited from
the war period. There IS absolute
! " nothing in existing conditions that
| justifies the carriers and their en-
| ployes in inflicting tho ruinOus re-
suits OF a strike on themselves and
on the public There is no amount
Of propaganda that can convince the
people that either side is entirely
