DETROIT, Sept. S.-"Make America
First in the Air"
Federal legislation toward this end
Will be asked at the second National
Aero Congress at Detroit, Oct. 1914.
In connection with the meeting the
national air race for the Pulitzer tro-
ply will be held. The Curtiss race
will be held here Oct. Z. just proceed
ing opening of the congress.
The United States, officials declare,
is without air laws which would safe
guard aviation, aid commercial flying
and develop aerial transportation. This
will be the fault which the airmen
will attempt to remedy.
At present, any aviator can navi-
gate any sort of craft, whether air
worthy or not, as long as he can get
it off the ground. An attempt will
be made at the conference to keep
this class of airpIane, which is held
the greatest menace to the develop
ment of flying, out of the air. Ninety
per cent Of accidents, 1t is said, are
due to unairworthy machines.
Is Potential Outlaw
The Wadsworth bill, now in the
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, will be urged for
passage. 1t is said this bill will pro-
vide many of the necessary air laws
favored by the conference.
Meanwhile the aviator is a poten-
tial outlaw If he damages property

ger, tears up any ones front yard,

law. and there is no aerial law or
prerogative to protect him. Airmen.
as a result desire wise and strict laws
to protect the public, their foolish
and erring brothers. and themselves.
American planes may not fly over
Canada as the result of lack of in
spection and registration. This draw
back to inter-country flying will be
set aside If the convention is success
ful in securing Federal control Of CT

are an exception to the Canadian
rule, since the Canadian air board has
ruled that their record proves rigid

STUDENT
Praises Spirit of Recent Articles On
Labor Question.

To the Editor of The Times
believe the time has come when
every one. whether involved directly
or indirectly in the issues, should ex-
press himself on the present in
dustriaI situation. I wish to compli-
ment The Times on its recent
editorials for they express my own
sentiments exactly.
The attempt to break the labor
Unions with the moral as well as the
active support of the Government is
regrettable in our supposedly free
America for it is nothing less than an
attempt to take a large measure OF
personal liberty and freedom from a
majority Of our population. This can
not be permitted to happen.
If the farmer knows where his in
terest lies he will lend his support to
the unions, for with organized labor
to the wall, all these powerful forces
can be concentrated against the farm
err to prevent his organization and
self-protection. The interests opposed
to the one are practically the same
as the interests opposed to the other.
People usually join hands when a
common enemy opposes.

tempting to cross Washington st. at
Delaware. when the traffic sign read,

The officer on duty halted me in
kind courteous manner and I, in at
tempting to back up, killed my
engine. I held up both north-bound
and south-bound traffic, but the Of
ficer left his station and assisted me
to push my car around the corner
out of the way.
I was wrong and he was right, but
the kind way he used will make me
more careful in the future. This Of
ficer was on duty at Delaware and
Washington SITS. at s o'clock Wednes-

him. His manner Of duty will Offset

lanes A. Roston, president of the Ii

Ku Klux Visits
COlOred Churches
In Kansas City

Kansas City, Kan, June 22.-Eight
colored churches and the Douglass
hospital were visited by members of
the Ku Klux Klan local branch last
week and left letters containing ten
dollars each and the hospital was
given twenty-five dollars. The letter
stated:
ITO the Pastor and Congregation
"Your people are as vitality interest
ed in the problems of today as are
your white brethren. Will you supine-
ly submit to foreign religious political
domination or will you awake to the
menace and stand shoulder to shoulder
with your white brethren-offering Il
united front to the common enemy?
"The constitution of these United
States gives to every man the right to
worship God as he may see fit, but
does not delegate to any sect or creed
the right to enforce their belief on
another. AS members of Protestant
churches you are protectors before the
world against certain religious prac-
tices.
And this organization (the most
powerful secret Institution in the
world) is zealously standing guard
over American institutions and ideals.
I'VE have no quarrel with the col
ored man he is American and as such
has the support of American citizens,
and we are ever ready to assist him
in his lawful pursuits of happiness.
eve realize your problems and view
with favor the great work you are do
ing in uplifting your people, and in
recognition of your efforts we are en-
closing with this letter a contribution
to be used as you may see fit.

Wednesday, June 21-Mr. Dyer Speaks
The day sessions were devoted to
the value of the press and of publicity
and two editors addressed the confer
ence Royal ]. Davis of the editorial
staff, New York Evening Post, urged
cOIored Americans to become acquaint-
ed with editors. Nahum D. Brascher
of Chicago, president of the Associated
Negro Press, told of the work of his
organization in news distribution.
Representative Dyer's Speech.
Representative Dyer was welcomed
with cheers in Bethany Baptist
Church by an audience crowding the
church to the doors. He delivered
stirring address in which he urged up
on colored people the following princi-
pies:
l. That colored Americans should
work together and not fight among
themselves.
'If there is a pastor of one of your
churches who will not work with you
and for you said Representative
Dyer, you ought to turn him out"
. That the membership of the n.
A. A. C. p. should be raised to one
million. "You go back" said Mr.. Dyer,
land tell the colored people, I said the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People is entitled to
credit for the passage of the Anti
Lynching Bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives."
Mr.. Dyer said that "Those who get
up and snort about the unconstitution--
ality of the bill are those who have
prejudice in their hearts.
This is not a race issue This is
question involving the honor of the
Republic. The Senate of the United
States is Republican and unless it obeys
the mandate to protect human life
from mobs, those in control of the Re
publicans are entitled to and deserve
the condemnation of the people of
America"
At this meeting, T. G. Nutter of the
West Virginia Legislature gave Il rous-
ing description of the West Virginia
Anti-Lynching law and urged colored
Americans to organize for the fighting
of their own battles. Capt. Arthur B.
