which today is pressing so heavily on

United States gain in trade in China

Of the fact that this referendum vote

manner in which they claim the joint

quite plain that these discredited Of

regaining the posts that they mis-
managed and were ousted from by a
big membership vote.
Issue Circular.
In order that a misunderstanding
may not arise in the minds of the
membership concerning the question
now before the union, the joint board
has issued the following circular to the
members of the union in Chicago

to the former administration who had
imposed upon the membership its will

yet some of our members, mostly
composed of former officials of the
union, who by overwhelming majority
of the membership have been voted
out of leadership, find it necessary to
launch an attack against the present
administration.
And the Jewish Daily Forward has
issued the slogan Of Save the Union"
The very same people who carried

Tho they try their utmost to create

SMALL-C|TYPAPER
BOASTS AIR ROUTE
Only Publication of Its Class
Strictly Up to
Date.
BY the Associated Press.

TEMPLE, Tex, September 15.--
This small city of Temple, Tex,
boasts of the only small town news
paper in the country that has a
regular airplane delivery route.
E. X Williams, publisher of the
Temple Telegram, was reading an
article in scientific magazine some
time ago in which the author pre-
dicted that eventually all small-town
daily newspapers would be compelled
to cease publication because large
town dailies would have their news
papers delivered by airplane,
Mr.. Williams has been interested in
aeronautics since the early days of
aviation and has owned planes for 10
years When he read the article he
determined to foreStall any attempt
of large dailies to invade his circula-
ton field. SO he purchased two air
planes and employed an aviator as
his route carrier.
A route of more than so miles was
established. With the airplane serv-
ice the Telegram was able to increase
its circulation in the nearby towns.
Mr.. Williams pointed out that the
communities served by airplane de-
livery received newspapers within an
hour after the papers come from the
press, whereas previously the sub
scriberS on the same route were
fortunate to receive their Telegram
the day following.
