Daugherty opinion naturally provoked
bers of Congress. Coming on top OF
the scandal over the Wood Fresi-
Dental campaign fund two years ago
1t served to arouse legislators who
were active in putting through the
corrupt practices act. 1t must be ad-
mitted, however, that the vast major
ity of the members of both houses eX-
press complete satisfaction with the
Supreme Court decision and the At
torney- Generals opinion for reasons
that were viewed as both logical and
obvious.
The immediate result Of the publi-
cation Of the Daugherty opinion by
THE NEW YoRK HERALD was TO inspire
the introduction Of bills in the two
houses to make the corrupt practices
act "air tight" as it were, by specifc
provisions arbitrarily limiting the ex-
penditures Of candidates for Congress
sional offices.
Action by Pomcrene.
Senator Pomerene (Ohio), who is a
two bills to amend the corrupt prac-
tees act to meet the Supreme Court
decision and Daugherty opinion. One
proposes to limit the expenditures OF
Senators and Representatives in pri-
mary campaigns to $4,000 and $4,000,
respectively; the other a similar limita-
ton on expenditures In election cam
paigns.
The purpose OF the Ohio Senator in
separating the two features of the ex-
listing corrupt practices law was that
If the Supreme Court again pro-
nounces the primary law unconstitu-
tional the election law may still stand.
Resolutions introduced by Senators
Pomerene and Mcclellan (Tenn.) pro-
pose to exclude any Senator who ex-
pends more than $4,000 in his pri-
mary campaign under the constitu-
tional authority Of each house to judge
the qualifications of it's membership.

Up to date figures disclose an alarm
ing number of deaths in the air SER
vice of the United States. The fa-
talities in the services amount to some
thing like Is per cent. of the entire
personnel per annum. and at the pres
ent rate the average life of the fiier
is about eight years.
The large amount of experimental
ton being conducted by the army and
navy air services and the constant en-
ployment of the personnel, together
with the inevitable hazards of the
service, are to some extent responsible
for the large toll of life taken by this
branch of the service
OF late, however. the question has
frequently been raised as to whether
the large amount of deteriorated ma
terial left in the hands of the War
Department, some of it in storage for
four and five years, may not to some
extent be responsible for some ac-
cidents to fliers and for which no ade-
quate explanation has been forthcom-
ing.
The chiefs Of the air service are ready
with disclaimer that deteriorated ma
terial Is in any way responsible for the
accidents. On the current rumors Of
the use of deteriorated material being
called to their attention by THE NEW
YORK HERALD, officHrs OF the arm air
service at headquarters here vigorously
denied that the toll of accidents was in
any way caused by the use of planes
that had been in storage for so long
that the material in them had UNDER
gone deterioration.

Washington. ID. G., July 2.
With the tide turning generally
throughout the country against the
Fordney- McCumber tariff bill. because
Of it's high and unscientifc rates and
the inevitable result they will have in
increasing the cost of living, the ex-
ponents of the measure started in to-
night on a national campaign in an
effort to justify 1t before the people.
House members during the recess
are going on the road with a tariff
show much the same as those staged
recently in Congress. They will dis
play goods purchased in Germany at
low prices and sold in the United
States at high prices, hoping to make
the people believe that without the
new tariff bill Germany will put many
American manufactures out of busi-
ness by cutthroat competition.
The program for the campaign was
announced by Representative Fordney
(Mich.), chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee. and one of the au-
thors of the tariff bill. He issued long
statement, presenting letter received
from Representative Tilson Comm, who
went to Germany at the request of Presi-
dent Harving to get line on Industrial
conditions, declaring that this evidence
proves the Republican charges that Ger
man competition is far more keen than
anybody had supposed.

PenaIizing Women.

Coupled with this it became known to-
night that Senator Walsh (Mass) is pre-
pairing to prove, when the consideration
OF the bill Is resumed in the Senate, that
Mr.. Fordney. Senator McCumber IN. d.
and other who framed the much con-
demned bill are going to the extent of
penalizing women and children with
higher prices on their candy and fancy
cakes.
On two items alone, shelled almonds
and walnuts, candy manufacturers and
bakers are taxed by the bill about S3,-
100000 a year. Altogether higher tariff
rates are placed on seventy-seven raw
materials used in the confectionery and
baking industry, with the result that
higher prices will have to prevail if the
making Of cakes and candies is to con-
~tinue.
ITO what an amazing extent the duty
on shelled almonds and walnuts--not
to mention the seventy-f1ve other taxed
materials-will burden the candy in
dustry may be appreciated from some
authentic information furnished by
large consumers Senator Walsh told
THE New York HERALD tonight. six
manufacturers of candy in Boston re-
port that the increased duty on shelled
almonds and walnuts will increase their
cost for those nuts $1S6,500 annually.

RAILWAY WAGES BUY
MORE THAN S YEARS AGO
Labor Board Makes Con1par-

CHICAGO. July 2.--The cut of about
s135, 100000 in the wages Of some 1,2o0,-
600 railroad employees. which became
effective at the same time that a 10 per
cent cut. In freight rates. amounting to
about $4,000, 900, went into effect, still
leaves hourly wages measured In actual
buying power above the wages Of De-
cember, 1917 just before Government
control according to figures compiled by
the United states Railroad Labor Board.
Machinists. who are among the shop
crafts employees on strike, were cut
seven cents an hour. They averaged
77.3 cents and now average 1913 cents.
In 1917 the rate was sos. the new hourly
rate being 39 per cent. higher. Cost of
living, according TO labor board fig
ures. is II per cent higher than In De-
cember, 1917. The board figures the
new hourly rate for machinists 10 per
cent greater in real purchasing power
than in December. 1917.
Car men, cut nine cents an hour. now
have an average hourly wage of 644
cents, as compared with 37.7 cents in
December 1917, the boards figures
show. This represents a net increase Of
II per cent. in cash and an advance of
45.7 per cent. in actual purchasing power
OF the hourly wage, the board maintains.
Average hourly earnings OF machin-
lists, according to the boards figures.
are fifteen cents an hour less than under
the peak rate established by the board
in May. 1920. but the real value Is fig
ured as per cent. greater. due to the
drop in the cost Of livirg.
Average earnings OF car men are fig
ured as 1875 cents an hour less tnan
i'm May, 1920, but purchasing power As
given as 80 per cent. greater for the
same reason.

One OF the reasons why a strike might
he disastrous to the maintenance men Is
tha. they have six cases before the Rail-
way Labor Board awaiting decision
which they expect TO be favorable, ana
il they strike they apparently lose the
benefits OF these decisions. All involve
charges OF contracting out labor py

men are awaiting decisions as TO back
nay for the period when the contracts
we're in force. II these cases arc settled
in favor OF the men, as Indicated, tney

And Mr.. Cradle has Chairman Hoopers $
assurance that II living costs continue to
lump every consideration will be given
to an application for more pay. These
are some of the considerations which
have seemed TO incline Mr.. Cradle
against a strike. How far otner con-
siderations are bending him the other
way may be plain tomorrow.

Hundreds Obsolete.


They did admit, however. that among
large stocks of planes on hand from the
war there are hundreds which are not
only obsolete for army purposes but
which are absolutely unsafe because
the material had dsintegrated. Fully
twenty per cent. of the planes on hand
have to be destroyed as they have
reached the stage where they cannot
be restored or remade. One depot
where planes left over from the war
are stored sent in a requisition the other
day asking permission to destroy sixty
five planes. This is merely an instance
of what is happening at all the depots.
Headquarters officers admit the ex-
tent Of the deterioration which they at
tribute to natural causes and to the fact
that no material has yet been found
which resists disintegrating processes. AT
the same time they admit that planes
long in storage are being used for fly
ing purposes. They say on the other
hand that no plane which has been In
storage for a longer period than six
months can be flown until it has beer
examined and reconditioned under strict
orders and regulations.
Every single plane. they add. that has
in any way deteriorated Is stripped and
reconditioned. The deterioration usually
occurs in the wings, the fuselage and
the propellers. Despite the fact thai
glue used for fastening purposes is the
best that has yet been manufactured
experience with stored planes has
shown that a short period in storage pro-
duces a loosening effect which necessi-
tates a complete recovering.
Cost of Conditioning.
1t is often necessary to expend a.
rnuch as 1900 to recondton a $4,000
or $4,000 plane which has been II
storage for much less time than thu
period of four or five years, the ag'
of some OF stored planes. 1t Is Away
a question, in the opinion Of those wh'
doubt the advisability OF using sucl
planes, whether they do not develol
weaknesses that escape notice at tn
.irne they are recondtioned. Army al
service officers say that the care takei
prevents the possibility of such weakness
being overlooked. At the same tim
they assert that the investigation II
cases where accidents have occurred ha
in no instance shown the mishap 4
have been due to faulty plane.

DISARMAMENT FOR THUGS

Deen inspired by the repeated shooting of policemen by
criminals, and has the support already of the MAYORS Of
many cities and the governors of several states. The or
ganlzers aim to enlist the cooperation of public officials
throughout the country.
New York has a law restricting the purchase of fire.
arms to holders of official permits; but as Otto Brand. head
OF the movement, remarks, that is of no use whatever as
long as crooks can go across the river into another state
and buy pistols without hindrance.
The same evil exists in every state in the Union. and
manlfesuy cannot be cured without united action. Nearly all
the crimes of violence, as the American Bar Association has
reported, are committed with the use of firearms. There
would be no crime waves if the gunner could not get guns.
How much longer are the law abiding citizens going
to let the thugs have deadly weapons? The traffic in pistols
and cartridges could be controlled and the criminal popula-
ton be practically disarmed in a year, if the matter were
taken up with the seriousness it deserves.
