AIR MAIL. POPULAR
|NBUS|NESS WORLD
p IN. General to Continue
New York-San Francisco
Schedule Indefinitely.

Performance of the New York-San
Francisco air mail service and the guam
tity of mail offered for transmission
have been so highly satisfactory that
Postmaster General New has decided to
continue operation on the present sched-
ule Indefinitely. The original order es-
tablishing the service called for only
a months operation.
The record of the airmail pilots dur
ing the trial shows they have been on
schedule time in about 93 per cent of
the total east and west bound trips.
On three trips eastbound the pilots
had to lay over at Bellefonte. Pa,
for the night because the airway
from there into New York was not
lighted and on two trips they had
to stop overnight before reaching
San Francisco for the same reason.
Orders have been given to light these
stretches OF the airway. Demand for
establishment of air mail service to
other cities has come to postal au-
thorities in considerable volume. but
they are unable to do anything with
out specific authorization of Congress.
1t is considered likely that at the
December session of Congress bills
will be introduced providing for eN-
tension of the service to other cities.

Of the rump general executive
board, and P. d. Ryan is de-
clared to be the new chairman

and general organizer of the
new organization to take Grit
fith's place. A program of ac-
ton" has been issued by this
group, which hopes to split the
whole /. w. w. wide open, and
this program is announced as
an emergency program"
The splitters.
The new organization, according to
the statement, is represented by the
general construction workers, the
metal machinery workers, the rail-
road workers and the lumber workers.
All other unions are invited to join in
the move to wreck the old /. w. w.
The name Of James Bowerman, one
Of the leaders Of the Rowan-Bower-
man faction in the l. w. w. and
champion of the Injunction, was linked
with stoolpigeons by ]. Minnoli, sec
rotary Of Industrial Union 800, who
testified before the l. w. w. conven-
ton in Emmett Memorial Hall yester-
day. Minnoli told the convention he
has suspected Bowerman since 1920,
when Bowerman was overfriendly to
Leo Reese, who was exposed as a la
Dor spy.
AT the convention Of 1919 Leo
Reese who attended as an observer
from Akron sang the praises of Bower
man." said Minnoli. when we re-
turned to Akron, it was learned that
Reese acted as one of the most trusted
stoolpigeons working within the l. w.
w. and the Maehinists' Union. /, was
arrested and held for deportation, and
Reese. who visited me in prison and
brought me food and clothing, was
found to have signed my warrant un-
der a false name. He confessed and
revealed that he was receiving $3.50 90
month as stoolpigeon. Reese was
always boosting Bowerman, telling
what wonderful ideas he had, and how
the organization should put him on
the G. e. B. and allowed him to carry
these ideas out.
Now l believe Bowerman has been
carrying out those ideas. The injunc-
ton in the capitalist courts which has
done much to disrupt the 1. w. w. is
one Of them. l have heard that there
is a Connection between Bowerman
and A. BALM, the notorious labor spy."
Tomorrow Judge Dennis z. Sulli-
van, who made his reputation with the
employers Of labor by allowing police
to beat girl garment strikers and then
sentencing the girls to long terms in
Jail, will have the pleasure of sitting in
judgement on the l. w. w. Sullivan
will hear plea Of the Rowan lawyers
that the l. w. w. funds be released to
pay expenses Of Rowan's lawyers.
