clusion of his cross-exnmination NJ
the hands of Major Allen Gullion, as
sistant trial judge advocate, the ali
officer insisted there had been no in,

Major Gullion developed by ques.
tioning the witness that the number
Of flying hours per fatality for the
fiscal year 1921 was 9S4. while for
the fiscal year 1925. the number was
$500.
SAFETY DECREASES.
Doesn't this prove that the safety
of flying has increased from 1921 TO
1925, inclusive. about $40 per cent:
Major Gullion asked.
1T is very misleading state,
ment." Colonel Mitchell replied.
There is no increase in safety. There
is a decrease in safety. Our person
mel is better trained now than it was
in 1921 and flying has been much
more restricted. The machines are still
flaming coffins.

taking tip from the latter and organ

have as their immediate objective
salary increases of % per cent.
At preliminary meeting speakers
pointed out that the engineers hold
the key positions in the essential work
necessary to the community and that
the departments of water, fire proven
ton, sanitation, transportation, new
construction and other vital municipal
activities could not operate without
them In fact, several of the speak
ers reminded their fellow workers, the
city engineer is such a necessary in
dividual that when the engineers Of
Chicago started a strike, scheduled for
three days, the city called them back
to work in half hour with the pro-
miss of meeting their demands.
As a start towards educating the
public to the idea that the engineer
is just an ordinarily paid person wage
charts have been made public show
ing that 76.5 per cent of the city's
engineers get less wages than plumb
ers and bricklayers and ten per cent
less than the municipal ditch diggers.

contractors superintendent whose
business it is to follow the plans pre-
pared for them by the engineers.
