AIR MAIL HERE TO STAY,
COL. HENDERSON SAYS
Believes Cost Can Be Cut From
$2.63 Per Mile to Less
Than 80 Cents.
Rv the Associated Press


:. NEW YORK, October 23.-Confi-
dence that the transcontinental air
mail, which had brought San Fran
cisco within "a hours of New York, is
here to stay was expressed last night
by Col. Paul Henderson, Second AS
sistant Postmaster General, to the
College of Engineering, New York Uni
yersity.
!, Col. Henderson expressed hope for
authority to extend the service. He
predicted a nationwide connecting
of great cities with the air mail
operating at night between such of
those centerS as are approximately
1000 to 400 miles apart.
Efficiency of transportation he
said. may be measured by its. cost
per ton-mile. it's regularity and de-
penda bility, and its speed The pres
ent cost of operating the air mail
Service is s2.63 per tonmile. This is
altogether too expensive. From now
forward the most urgent task of the
Post Office Department is to attempt
TO bring down this cost per tom mile.
This means ships with greater car
Tying ability.
II Il predict air transportation at a
cost of less than 80 cents a ton-mile
with speeds approximating 100 miles
An hour. / also predict the carrying
Of certain classes of merchandise in
the air and ultimately, the carrying
of passengers"

CHAPTER VII,

During the final sessions of the con-
vention in the forest preserve the pro-
gram in its final form was argued as a
whole. The |. w. w. movement was
indorsed and a resolution was passed
making 1t a part of the program that
communist organizations all over the
United States should exert influence
to win the |. w. w. to communism.
The Federation of Labor also came
in for its share of discussion when,
after heated debate, a resolution was
passed denouncing the federation as
an anti-revolutionary organization.
At the same time, however. 1t was
voted that an effort be made to place
as many communists in the ranks of
the labor organization as possible,
with a view to changing its policy
from one of anti-revolutionary senti-
ment to one which would favor revo-
luton, and to destroy completely the
then existing federation.
For organization purposes the coun-
try was divided at this convention
into seven districts. The Chicago
district is No. Z, consisting of Illi-
nois. Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, North Dakota and South Da-
kota.
Discussing League OF Nations.
The League of Nations was de-
nounced as an open enemy and a
futile instrument which capitalism
chose to use for it's own ends.
The League of Nations was Gre
ated to save world capitalism from
the inner forces of destruction" reads
the manifesto of this meeting, "and
from its open enemy, the revolu-
| tionaTy proletariat. 1t has been a
broken instrument from the start be-
cause of the inevitable antagonism
between the national groups of capi-
taliStS. Besides, the breakdown of
capitalism has gone too far for the
easy establishment of a new equilib-
rum. The World War has not ended.
1t has only transformed itself into
the international war of classes. The
League of Nations cannot secure
peace nor can it rally its people into
great offensive against the revo-
lutionary forces Of Europe. 1t must
depend upon semi -barbarous mercc-
narieS. The class consciousness of
the workers of every advanced ma
rion undcrmines the military organi-
zation upon which imperialistic ex-
ploitation depends"
Warned to Prepare for War.
And here is what was finally
adopted as expressing the party feel
ing toward revolutions:
class struggle develops into open
combat-civil war. The united com
munist party (the name finally de-
cided upon) will Systematically and
persistently familiaTize the working
class with the inevitability of armed
force in the proletarian revolution.
The working class must be pre-
pared for armed instruction as the
final form of mass action by which
the workers shall conquer the state
power aud establish the dictatorship
of the proletariat.
Let us destroy tho capitalistic
Government of the United States and
substitute the workers government"
All this, of course, was interspersed
with discussions of committees, the
manner in which the program could
be most effectively carried out. and
bitter argument as TO whether the

Struggle to Effect Unity.
The final debate lasted for an en-
tire day and far into the early morn
ing of the next, and concerned the
question of unity of the two parties
represented by the delegates present.
There were some delegates who OBJ
stinately refused to agree to such a
union. The last morning found the
situation deadlocked, and the argu-
ment went on during the day. There
were speeches by the score. The OBJ
stnate Communist-Labo Dor delegates We're
led away one by one to the
outer fringe, where a group of "com-
rades" attempted to shake their deci-
sion.
Finally, toward midnight. new
procedure was adopted. The two
groups separated to debate the ques-
ton by themselves. Looking on from
where we were living behind the
bushes. it seemed silly, this arguing
hour after hour over whether there
should be one party or two. Yet they
argued the question as seriously and
with as much earnestness as though
it were one upon which hinged the
fate of the Nation.
Voices Rise in Song.
1t was almost 2 o'clock in the morn
ing when the Communist "regulars'
settled their disputes. The Com
munist -Laborites still were arguing
Then followed the weird ceremony.
While the labor group argued, the
other group sang. They sang like a
group of school children learning a
hymn-SOftly and earnestly, Arise
thou oppressed workers, arisei"-the
official song of the international.
Then soIemnly they marched through
the darkness toward the labor group,
still singing, the song growing in VOL
ume as they progressed to inspire
the others to decide for unity. As
they approached they were met with
cheers from the majority Of the labor
group. These, like little children.
took hands and danced about the
small circle of "obstinates" who still
continued their arguments hotly, their
voices rising TO shout in order to be
heard above the singing and cheers
of the others.
The singing group would then re-
treat, the song would stop, to begin
again after an interval, and the per-
over.
COntending Factions Merge.
Each time the dancing group of
laborites was enlarged by a few of
the obstinate ones, until. as the sing
ing crowd advanced once again the
cheering which greeted their advance
became a rousing shout.
The Labor party group rushed to-
ward the others, singing at the top
of their voices. The groups merged
and with the merging the song was
hushcd as they Solemnly clasped
hands in the grasp of comradeship
and embraced each other with much
emotion.
Thereafter not thing was said and
nothing was heard but the rustic of
the leaves stirred by the feet of the
comrades as they departed to carry
the message OF unity to the Commun-
lists throughout the country who were
awaiting news of this convention,
