URGES SPECIALIZING
IN PLANE DESIGNING
Gallaudet Tells Students at
Yale Of Opportunities in
Flying Construction.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
NEW HAVEN, Feb. 25.-Edson F. Gal
laudet, Yale, 49, stroke on the varsity
crew for two years and captain during
his last season, who since leaving coll
lege has had a fine career as mechanical
engineer, specializing in airplane de-
signs, and who during the war con-
tributed important inventions to the
Navy Department, winning several Gov
ernment prizes, calls the attention Of
Yale students to the great opportunities
offered by aviation in a statement which
he has sent to the student body here.
Mr. Gallaudet says:
"The possibilities for a career in the
development of commercial aviation to
my mind are almost unlimited. The air.
plane needs only very small increase
in its present factor of safety TO make
1t the most valuable means available
for long distance high speed transporta-
ton. 1t seems to me that the particular
opportunity in the commercial field of
aviation is for men whose ability and
determination are sufficient to enable
them to interest capital and perfect the
ground organization necessary to es-
tablish long distance airplane lines for
carrying mail. express and passengers.
One of the most important of these lines
would be between New York and Chi
cago, with branch connections including
Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Detroit. The
successful operation of such line would
lead to extensions that in a reasonable
time would include practically the whole
country. j am positive that such lines
can be established and operated at a
profit.
ut is natural to ask how they can be
operated with guaranteed safety for
those who may wish to use them. In
answer to such a question should say
that it is now perfectly possible to con-
struct all metal, multiple engined pas
senger planes in which the speed is suf-
ficient to combat any sort of weather
and the fire hazard. and multiplicity of
engines removes the danger of engine
| failure.
"If you add to machines OF this char
acter wireless equipment, which keeps
the pilot at all times informed of
weather conditions ahead of him, and II
you provide landing places close enough
together to take care of that remotely
possible forced landing which no one
can absolutely foresee, you have an out
| At which can offer as high a degree of
safety as any railroad system.
"The development necessary TO ac-
complish this will undoubtedly be the
result Of efforts of men highly trained
by experience in engineering and in
business, and it is certain that many of
them will be college men,"

AMERICAN FOOD STOLEN
DESPITE DEATH PENALTY
Special Police Needed to
Guard Russian Trains.

Moscow, Feb 25.--Thefts OF goods
from Russian railways are so extensive
that Mr.. Djerjinslxy the Pole who now
directs the railway administration. as
serts IL will be necessary to establish a
special police force to stamp il out.
Djerjinsky first came into international
notice through his direction of the coun-
ter-revolutionary organization known
as the Cheka during the Red terror
period in the summer OF 1918.
He recently denounced the railway
employees as spectators and traffickers
who should be jailed However, IL is
difficult to understand how the railroad
men can be expected to work without
stealing, for trainmen have cold the
correspondent that their pay amounted
20 only 5000 Soviet rubles month.
This is equivalent TO 20 American cents
less than the price OF a single pound
OF black bread.
Tho American Relief Administration
IS protected against theft by special
guards, and the Bolshevist Government
makes good al. losses OF American food
stuffs. but even the knowledge that de-
lection probably will mean death has
not prevented thieves from stealing
American supplies.
The railway administration asked for
s1q,000.O00 gold rubles for malnte-
nance of transportation in 1922. but the
Government allowed only 4s.000,000 In
the budget. However, 1t included pro.
vision that every department OF the
Government shall pay for hauling It's
freight.

OPEN SHOP RIGHTS
AT ISSUE IN COURT
Queens Legal Fight, Starting
Tomorrow, May Have
Wide Effect.

A legal battle whose outcome will
have far-reaching effects on labor or
gan!zations not only in this State but all
over the country will be started to-mor-
row morning before Justice Stephen Cal
laghan in the Supreme Court, Queens.
The case is that of the A. l.. Reed
Company of Richmond Hill, leather
goods manufacturers. against the Fancy
Leather Goods Workers Union The
company is seeking to have made per-
manent temporary injunction granted
last September 81 against the union by
Justice Selah B. Strong in the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn. Justice Strong
memorandum on the case at that time
constituted a severe arraignment of the
methods Of union labor in enforcing the
closed shop, and particularly picketing.
Ordinarily such a case would go be-
fore court and a jury to decide the
Issue OF facts. but the facts are so
we'll agreed on by both parties that they
have agreed to dispense with jury and
present the entire case to Justice CAL
laghan. Several leaders of organized
labor probably will be called to testify.
rights of employers everywhere are in

other hand, assert that if the injunc-
ton is allowed to stand mere member

as conspiracy.
Quit Employers Body.
The A. l.. Reed Company formerly was
n member of the Association OF Leather
Goods Manufacturers OF the United
States. and this association had ut
various times entered into agreements
with the Fancy Leather Goods Workers
Union on questions affecting wages and
the employment of union men. An agree
| ment expired on August 1. 1921. and a
| new one, providing for Is per cent. re-
duction in wages. was agreed on by arbi-
tration month later.
The company had been laying off men
for two or three months because of lack
of work. and in the meantime had been
entering into private agreements with the
workers on the stipulation that the work
ers were not to belong to the union.
When the manufacturers associat ton
made the new agreement with the union

On September 81 Justice Strong
granted the temporary injunction, and
in an accompanying memorandum said
in part:
"The employer has the constitutional
right to select his employees without
consulting any labor union and to dis
charge them without consulting any
third party or labor union when he so
desires. providing always that he is
not infringing any right of contract OF
an individual employee.
''The employee has the same right TO
select his employer without any regard
to what any third party or labor union
may say. and he may quit his employer
at any time he desires. provided that he,
