fight AGAINST WOODS
COMPLICATED AFFAIR
| LABOR TAKING
ACTIVE PART

One Of the most complicated pc.
litical battles in its history was pend.
ing in the Senate today over the
nomination Of Cyrus e. Woods. of
Pennsylvania, as member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
His friends say he will be confirmed.
His foes say he will not.
Although his appointment was re.
Jected by. the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee by vote Of 8 to 6.
ultimate action remains in doubt.
former American diplomat,
successful business man and the per-
sonal selection of Secretary Of the
Treasury Mellon. Woods was said to
possess all the necessary personal
qualification for the post.
His nomination, however, may be
rejected because the Senate has split
into two of the strangest political
camps on record.
The crux of the warfare was q
secret clash between the forces Of
organized labor and those of the
open shop movement.
Superimposed on this was the
usual antipathy of Senate insurgents
toward the naming Of a big business
man to commission regulating bust
ness.
In the foreground was a battle be-
tween States over future action by
the Commission on lake cargo rail-
road rates on coal.
The rate question, which found
West Virginia, Kentucky and Ten
nessee bitterly fighting Woods be.
cause he is Pennsylvania. drew
Indiana. Ohio and Illinois to his
defense.
The reason. stated privately by
Senator'S. was that the States oppos-
ing Woods are dominated by the
open shop movement. while those de-
Tending him have nothing but union
miners.
This brought organized labor to
the side of Melons appointee.

being melted out generally are rife.
One report states that six rebels
have been executed on the outskirts

Objected to Telegram
Chamberlin said this afternoon
that he had objected to Levine's
telegram in their joint names pro-
posing TO Commander Byrd that the
Columbia accompany the America in
return flight because that was not
on the program, and his personal en-
gagements made 1t impossible for
him to remain in Europe long enough
to prepare for such flight.
"The whole matter has been exag-
gerated,' he said. 1.-THE proof of it is
that ] am going to fly the Columbia
to London tomorrow and show its
peculiarities to the French flyer
picked by Levine for the Paris New
York flight.
Levine has perfect right to fly
back if he wants to, and he perfectly
understands why l cannot go with
him. He has found a French airman
to take my place, and that settles
that question. l am going to do my
part, as far as l can, by showing the
Frenchman how I run the ship"
LEvlvE's Plan FRowNED
ON BY FRENCH NEWSPAPER
Paris, July 7.--tP,--Charles A.
Levines idea of having French
pilot fly the transatlantic plane
Columbia back to the United States
appears to have met a tepid recep-
ton in French air circles.
L'Auto observes: "Mr. Lcvine's
plan no doubt has been inspired by
excellent Francophile sentiment. thus
from that viewpoint we must rem
der him every homage. However.
does it not seem to imply that we
have not in France the necessary
machines to effect crossing, and
that it Frenchman wishes to sue
coed in making it :, must use an
American plane? That is not the
case. thank heavens and before long
let us hope it will be possible to
demonstrate it,"

intention to fly back to New York as
soon as he found French pilot was

LOBBYING 0KAY
EDUCATOR SAYS
Teachers Have Just as Much
Right 10 DO II as Others,
Group Is Told

Seattle. Wash, July 7.1P-
Teachers have Il right to lobby in
state legislatures and there are oc-
casions when it is imperative that
the right should be exercised" j.
Herbert Kelley, executive secretary
OF the Pennsylvania State Education
association, told delegates to the Ma
tiOnal Education association conven-
ton here today.
1.-THE teacher has as much right to
lobby in the legislature as a doctor.
or an engineer" Mr.. Kelley said. He
added that teachers organizations
have as much right to maintain com
mittees in state capitals during leg
lslative sessions as labor, grange
and other organizations, but that 1t
was not always eXpedient to exercise
that right.
Teachers organizations as a whole
are altruistic in their purposes but
to date the positive achievements of
far too many Of them consist OF tax
measures, salary schedules, tenure
acts and retirement systems Mr.
Kelley asserted. "These results, in
the public mind, SAVIOR Of advancing
The interests of teachers rather than
Of promoting the education Of the
child.
Need More Constructive Work
''These good detectives could have
been obtained with less criticism had
teachers emphasized higher qualifica-
tions for themselves. They should
focus their attention on construc-
tive work, such as right procedures
by the federal government in educa-
tional matters, by state and local
boards Of education and by state de-
partment staffs, and equitable dis
tribution of public funds to give
every child a square deal.
by promoting the general educa-
tional welfare, by fostering profess
sional zeal and by advancing educa-
tional standards teachers will win
the respect and good will of the tax
paying public who, in turn. will glad
ly, through their representatives in
the legislature, enact the provisions
which will make them comfortable in
their work. Salaries, tenure, and re
tirement allowances will come as a
by-product Of qualifications, efficien-
cy and professional spirit. If we
aim at the former we make recogni-
ton Of the latter tardy and eff
cient."

himself thought it almost suicidal
to fly.
Chamberlin, however, they say, con-
sidered himself soldier under or
ders Of his chief, and took off after
demonstrating with Levine.
This difference Of. opinion about
flying has not affected the personal
relationship Of the men, which con-
tinues friendly, friends OF both said
today. Indeed, it is understood
Chamberlin is still under contract
to Levine and may make flights for
the latter in the United States after
his return. Chamberlin's friends
say. however. that II there are such
flights, Chamberlin will insist that
the entire conduct Of them be under
his direction.
I Plane Needs Everlasting
While Chamberlin has declined
comment. it u understood that he is
dissatisfied with the condition Of the
Bellanca plane, advising Levine that
it would be matter of>weeks before
1t could be placed in condition for
the return flight and that any at
tempt at hurry might end fatally.
Therefore, he rem onstrated strong
ly when Levine sent a message to
Commander Byrd in the United
States in the name Of both himself
and Chamberlin, offering to accom-
panv the America on a return flight.
This difference was patched up, but
