PLAlNFIELD, N. j., April 5.-The
Lawson Aircraft company is build
ing at their plant here what they
claim to be the largest akpIane in
the world.
The machine, which seats 100 peo-
pie, is Of new design and incorpor-
ates some revolutionary changes.
The principal of these is an ar
rangement by which the passenger
compartment has two tiers Of seats,
one above the other, on each side,
the tiers being at right angles to
the central aisle.
Of the ten propeIlers and engines
with which the plane will be fitted,
seven will be in regular use and
the other three will be a reserve.
The machine will have a total
weight of 100000 pounds or so tons,
these figures giving some conception
of its huge proportions. II will be
able to take on oil while flying in
the air. This will be accomplished
by means of secondary planes. Pas
sengers may be unIoaded on a flight
in the same fashion.

The vote was on a resolution sub
mitted by the London branch of the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen that
had, on a previous occasion, expelled
Communists from its ranks. The
disbarment resolution was based on,
"Too much Of me time OF past con.

and non-Communists."
Macdonald Speaks.
The debarring resolution was re-
turned in a majority report Of the
resolution committee. Loud protests
arose from the right wing when j. A.
Macdonald. president OF the Canadian
Labor Party, rose to submit a minor
ity report. The chairman, A. f..

minutes in which to report.

NEW YORK, April 5 - A charge
of kidnapping fur workers and holding
them in an isolated farm house at
Spring Valley, N. Y. is made today by
the Furriers Union against the manu-
featuring firm of Ratners' Sons, 146
West 25th Street, New York.

Attorney for the union, Abraham
Goodman of 299 Broadway, states that
he is preparing suit against the firm
on this serious charge following the

bers of the union who had been held
as prisoners at the Spring Valley farm
house for three weeks.
Held Prisoner.
According to officials of the union,
they were informed few days ago,
by Charles Wasserman of 1886 Rose
dale Ave, Bronx, that his father-in-law
Benjamin Eisenberg, living at this
same address, was being forced
against his will to remain in Spring
Valley and work for Ratners' Sons in
an improyised shop they had establish
ed there. Wasserman had telephoned
Ratners' to try to get a message to
his father-in-law and had been told he
was not there but had gone to Pitts
burgh.
10 Armed Guards.
BON the night of March 31st, Eisen-
berg managed to telephone his son-in-
law and begged him to send someone
to rescue him. He said he and other
workers were surrounded by armed
guards carrying guns and were not
permitted to leave their place of work.
He urged his son-in-law not to come
to Spring Valley himself for he would
surely be shot. Wesserman asked the
union officials to help release his
father-in-law.
< Prison Shop.
Isadore Shapiro, a member of the
Unions Strike Committee, went to
Spring Valley Friday and with police
officers visited the farm house where
Eisenberg was held. They found a
shop established in the barn there and

berg against their wills but afraid to

weeks ago without knowing where he
was going but was promised he could
return at any time if he did not like
the job When he attempted to return
to his home a few days later he was
threatened and held captive.
Eisenberg's own affidavit and that
of the other workers is being prepared
to be presented when suit is filed
against the manufacturing firm early
next week.

Party Politics?
Two years ago when there was
Q similar convocation Of diplomats
along about this time OF the year,
the deserving Democrats raised a
howl about the return OF so many
regular Republicans Just before a
campaign. contending that they
were being recalled to exert what
ever political influence they might
command-and, although career
diplomats" like Mr.. Fletcher and
Mr.. Phillips, are rather divorced
from politics, our foreign envoys
constitute in the aggregate a rea-
<sonably influential party group.
This is again a campaign year.
But-aftsr all, it's a pretty far
fetched notion that the diplomatic
clans are gathered in for political
purposes. as it has long been custo-
mary for our foreign representatives
to come home once a year to dis
cuss diplomatic matters with the
Secretary OF State. And usually
they combine this business with the
pleasure Of a holiday at home.

SPECULATING OR
INVESTING

inexperienced people who are looking for securi-
ties to fit their need should ask themselves "Do
want an investment or do want a specuation?"
And, again, when they are solicited by salesmen
endeavorng to sell stocks, bonds, land, or any
other security, they should ask the question-"Is
this an investment or is it speculaton?"
An investment is security that is absolutely
safe, that brings fair return; that is readily
marketable. A speculation may be security lack
ing in any one, or all three.
The way to differentiate is simple and costs you
nothing.
