Says Airships Make
Big Vessels Useless

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Arn1y
advocates of the United States air
service carried their fight today into
the camp Of the enemy before the
house naval committee. Brigadier
General Mitchell, chief of operations
of the army air service, reiterated
his belief that the airship had made
capital vessels useless. He urged the
substitution of enormous air sea-
plane carriers to accompany light
vessels of the fleet in place of bat
'tleships and battle cruiser.

UNION CARPENTERS
PURPOSE TO BUILD
Connecticut Men Prepare for
Cooperative Effort Against
Employers.

Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New HAVEN. Conn. Feb. i9.-There is
a growing possibility that union car
penters OF Connecticut will organize CO.
operative building concerns 70 compete
with the builders. following the pres
ent controversy over wages. The build
ers have organized a State society TO
fight the open shop and to bring down
wages TO their pre-war level.
The proposed cooperative building So
cieties would be made UP Of groups or
carpenters ard others in the building
trades-perhaps one society would be
composed OF just enough men 10 work
on the contraction OF one house. the
carpenters plan to take contracts Tor
the construction Of houses and are con-
fldent they can underbid any builder
in the State, since all they are looking
for is a days wages and a slight profit-
There are many small property own
ers in New Haven who are trades union
men and in sympathy with the carpen-
ters Many OF them have already ap-
preached the union and offered con-
tracts to the carpenters.
Some figures recently quoted mere
show Just how costly building Is az
present. A man who wanted 70 erect
two family house Of ten rooms called on
several builders and the cheapest price
they would quote for the house complete
was SIC, 900. or about $1,000 room, as
other prices quoted for larger houses
seems to cling to that average.
The cooperative societies are planned
to serve two purposes First. TO give the
men work. and second. to bring the
builders to terms on the wage question
and force them into signing an agree
ment for term Of years.
Building about the State is at stand
still and is likely to stay that way unless
the carpenters and builders reach some
agreement or the carpenters organize
their cooperative societies. The legal
phase of the question, it is known, has
been worked out by lawyers employed
by the unions.

FLYING TO FEATURE
NEW CLUB ON SOUND
152 Acres on Mattituch Inlet
Site for Yacht and Aero
Club.

A new club. which will combine flying
tennis and golf in addition, has been
organized and l52 acre estate at Mat
tituck Inlet. on the north shore OF Long
Island between Port jefferson and
Greenport, has been purchased, it was
announced yesterday.
Information concerning the new or
ganizatiog was made public by Daniel
w. Blumenti.sl. personal counsel to Jo-
seph II. Wichert. OF Brooklyn, who for
merly owned the estate. It Is understood
the property sold for 100000.
The club is known as the, Old Mill
Iraven Yacht and Aero Club. The pro-
visionaI board of governors includes Mr..
Wichert. Commodore Francis Mayer, OF
the New York Yacht Club, and Brig
Gen. William Mitchell OF the Army Air
Service. The executive secretary is
Major William G. Schauffler, OF Iyn-
brook l.. l., late of the Army Air Ser
vice and member OF the Aero Club of
America
The idea for a club AT Mattituck Inlet
arose because although the section is in
the heart of the Long Island summer
colony II is within easy reach of many
large estates and settlements such as
Southampton. East Hampton. Sag Har-
Dor and Shelter Island.
Work OF dredging. enarging and bulk
heading the inlet has already begun. and
1t is hoped that by June a shelter for
even the largest of yachts will be ready.
In addition this big harbor will make
an ideal landing place for flying boats.
The club plans shortly to start work
on the preparation of forty acre land
ing field. Hangars. sheds for flying
boats and garages are included In the
plans
The clubs air terminals have besn
offered to the army and navy air SER
vices as a base for military operations
of the air. 1t is possible also that a
reserve aerial squadron will be recruited
from the membership of the club. Those
who wish to learn to fly will be given
an opportunity 10 take training Pas
wishing to hy TO and from New York
city on business or pleasure during the
summer are also being considered.
The club house will be located In n
large and comfortable mansion situated
on high ground overlooking the Sound
at the head Of the inlet In addition
there are numerous houses and bunga-
lows on the estate There will be ten
mis- courts and probably an eighteen hole
golf course.
