is issuing an order to the shop-
men that the situation remains In
status quo until settlement Is
reached, said the letter OF q M.

railroad board are only advisory.

able employment. The transporta-
tion act did not and cannot grant
the labor board authority to
coerce railroad employees into un-
acceptable terms"

BIRDS STILL FAR SUPERIOR
Mans Conquest Of the Air" Seems to
Be Thing Of the Far Dis
tant Future.

Aviators fly 1000 miles with two
stops. for fuel, and the world applauds
the deed. Other aviators actually cross
the Atlantic-at it's narrowest point,
some 1900 miles wide-and the fact
stands still unrivaled by heavier
than-air machine.
But out on the Pacific, an albatross
followed steamer for six days and
seven nights without alighting In
this time, the ship Travelled nearly 81
600 miles, and the bird, with the cir.
clings, at least as far. Then, with the
nearest land 1900 miles away, the
bird swallowed greedy meal of food
thrown over for it, turned abruptly,
and disappeared.
Human aviation is long, long way
from having achieved that measure Of
endurance. 1t will come-probably-
but it is not even in sight yet. In
speed, the race between man and bird
Is close already, and victory in the
end is sure to 60 to the former. As
for altitude. the airplane has out
climbed even the condor. But In the
supreme test of endurance, Of the abil.
ity- to fly and fly and keep on flying,
man is ridiculously inferior.
