disappeared last Friday on a flight
from Roosevelt Field. T.. l., to Har.

An intensive and systematic
search for the plane and its four
passengers was continued in the
vicinity of Sable Island close to the
point where the last radio calls
were heard. The destroyers Sturte.
want and Mahan covered 6he water
far to the east of the island on the
theory that the amphibean might
have been forced down and was
blown off its course.
A 50-mile circle between Sable
Island and the mainland was piled

coast guard cutters operated far.

the waters to the north of the
island but no sight of wreckage
was found. During the night the
Mahan obtained 1000 gallons of

the missing plane has been aban.
doned and the search may be
called off tonight.
The sea was calm today but the

Omaha Contractor With Crew of 20
Men Moving Dirt in McCOne COuin-

Circle, July 10.-Work of moving
dirt in McCone county for the grade
of the Glendive-Circle branch of the
Northern Pacific now under construc-
ton, was begun about three miles
from Circle last week.
L. A. Woodward of Omaha is the
contractor in charge of the work. He
has under him a crew of 20 men.
Foley Brothers of the Twin cities

According to the Circle Banner ap-
proximately 100000 cubic yards of
dirt will have to be moved on the g.
mile extension, 1,750,000 board feet
of timber will be used in structures,
trestles will take $4,000 linear feet of
piling. The road will take 10000 tons
of steel rails and some 100000 ties.
All ties will be creosted and spaced
so that there will be 5000 to the
mile. Rails will be 90-pound stock
taken up from the main line of the

SEE CLOVEN HOOP OF
RAIL TEN HOUR DAY
By Federated Press.

Washington - "It's the opening
wedge for the 10-hour day., asserts
the Machinists Journal, in an editorial
in the July issue, in answer to the
Willard plan for bringing back the
8 and 10-hour day on the railroads.
Under the guise of stabilizing en-
ployment, a railroad executives COM
mittee headed by Daniel Willard of
the Baltimore & Ohio recommended
that the 8-hour day be dropped in the
busy seasons.
at is our opinion" declares the
Machinists Journal, "that this is a
subterfuge pure and simple. 1t is the
opening wedge for a 10-hour day. AS
a matter of fact, the railroads do
not as rule employ more men than
they need. If emergency requires,
men may be worked overtime, if
overtime rates are paid. Apparently
what the Committee had in mind is
a 9 and 10-hour day at straight time
for the additional one or two hours
worked.
"We are unalterably opposed to
the committees suggestion which
will we are confident, find little favor
and be given less consideration, ex-
cept on roads under company union
domination. So far as the shopcrafts
organizations are concerned, there
will be nothing doing"
In "this astounding program" de-
clares Labor, national railway labor
paper, railway employees see a move
to abolish the standard 8-hour day
repeal the Adamson law, inaugerate
a 10-hour day in the railroad indu-
stry and cut wages" Labor is am
azed that Daniel Willard and Patrick
presidents of the B. & o. and the
New York Central, hitherto liberal
in labor 0olicies, should have signed
the report.
