LEVINE MADE OUT WILL

NEW YORK, June 5. [P)-The Bel lanca plane Columbia with Clarence Chamberlin as pilot and Charles A. Levine, the owner, as assistant pilot, was sighted passing Trepassy Bay headed out to sea at 6:20 o'clock, New York time, Saturday. A British steamer saw the Columbia earlier about 200 miles north of St. Pierre Misquelon. The plane was reported from places on it's trip as far as New foundland, and all said the engine sounded as if functioning perfectly.
 It was not expected any further word would be heard from the Colum- bia until it passes the Irish coast, un- less is it sighted at sea by one of the 12 ocean steamers along the course it is following The plane made dram atic get away Saturday morning from Roosevelt Field at 5:05 As it left the ground Chamberlin was at the wheel, and it made a graceful rise before a crowd of more than 2,000. Levine's departure was the big surprise. It was not known until the actual mo- ment of the takeoff that he was going, and he had not even told his wife and two children. He made a will dispos- ing of his S5,O00,O00 fortune Saturday. ! When his wife saw him climb into the plane she tainted.
 Where the plane was bound not even Levine and Chamberlin knew when they set out. Their destination was Europe and their ambition to make the longest flight in history of aviation. They had decided to wait until they reached Ireland to decide whether to fly to Berlin or Rome, or even further. Wind and gasoline were to be the deciding factors.

TENT MURDERS
RECALLED.

Denver. The Ludlow massacre" in
1914 is recalled by Col. Patrick J.
Hamrock's opposition to the appoint
ment of John r. Lawson as state coal
mine insurance Inspector.
Hammock is a member of the state
civil service commission. He says
Lawson is unfit to hold public office. "
Hammock commanded guards that
wore the uniform of the state militia
in 1914 when they set fire to the Lud-
low tent colony maintained by United
Mine Workers during the strike
against the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company The guards killed and
burned 33 men, women and children.
Lawson was active during the strike.
Southern Colorado swarmed with gun
men and thugs. One of them was
killed and Lawson was charged with
the murder. In 1917 he was sentenced

LIKE A ROCK

The following editorial, under the
above head and which the Press
thinks worthy of reproduction, ap-
peared in the Cincinnati Enquirer:

American Federation of Labor, as did
Samuel Gompers through his long in
cumbencys in that office, stands stable
as a rock against aAthings commun-
istic. He just has repudiated the late
est mission" of trade unionists who
have set out for Russia in the inter
ests of soviet recognition, with the
blessing of Senator Borah warm upon
their adventuring heads.
This group is identical with num-
Der of others which have Jared Rus
siaward for the same purpose. Presi-
dent Green is not deceived about it or
its objects He knows the breed, SO
to speak. After Borah's blessing, he
sends the absolute reputation of the
great federation of which he is the
competent and commanding head
There is going to be no confusion
about the matter.
American labor and American right
politics have nothing to expect from
the economic and political policies of
the Lenin- -Trotsky crowd. What those
leaders achieved does not appeal to
American labor, and all the sophis-
tical siren singing of Senator Borah
and his kind will not be able to bring
American labor into. the Red brother
hood The great organization headed
by President Green knows the prob
lens of labor and how to conserve
them Most of the federation leaders
are not dreamers or half-baked econ
omists. They remorselessly have
kicked out from their order all com
munist groups and individuals They
will not tolerate radicalism. They
want to keep American labor stabiliz.
ed. They want to maintain the Amer
lean standard of living and wages
As long as men like William Greer
guide the destinies of the organiza
tion this will be done.

few people -well-meaningl perhaps,
but misguided.
All in all the great majority of the
people who always favored that the
city stay in the gas business on its own
were not far wrong, il at all, in their
opinion that it was the best thing to
do. 1t looks now that the people of
Hamilton are in fine position for an
ample gas supply in the future, and,
continuing the present rate, in the
words of Mr.. John A. Savage of the
gas company, in position to make
lots of money out of it.

FRIDAY, JULY %. 1927
OUR GAS LEAKAGE

The long awaited report of the gas
leak experts is in. City councilmen at
a caucus meeting Monday night re-
ceived the report of N. H. Gelhert
consulting engineer, on the survey of
the city's gas mains completed re-
Gently. No report ever submitted to
the city officials was more anxiously
awaited or created more interest
among the Hamilton people than did
this one of the experts on the gas
leakage in the city's mains. Nor was
a report ever received with more sat
isfaction by a great majority of the
people.
The enemies of city control of its
gas business long maintained that it
would cost all the way from $25O,OO0
to as much as 100000 to plug the
leak. The estimated loss to the city
last year by reason of leakage
amounted to $131, 10000. The engi-
neer's report declares and points out
how it can be done. that by expending
$74,034 at least one-half of the loss
can be saved the city annually. The
$74,034 expenditure includes $55,987.-
so for the extension of high pressure
feeder lines to the southern and west
ern parts of the city to enable de-
creased pressure to be used on the dis
tribution system. 1t also includes
$3,515.50 for contingencies.
Friends of city control of its gas
business, as did the Press, always
contended that the amount of the cost
for plugging the leak, as advanced
by those who advocated leasing of the
gas mains, was way out of reason and
exhorbitant. The report Of the ex-
perts only confirms the contention Of
the people and the Press in their bat
tie for city control of the gas depart
ment.
Another piece of good news con
nected with the city's gas business is
that Wednesday midnight. the new
gas rate went into effect whereby the
city will pay the Columbia Gas Sup
ply Co. 4415 cents per thousand feet
of gas purchased instead of so cents

THE sACCo-YANzETTI CASE

Governor Fuller, of Massachusetts,
has shown a commendable determina-
ton to get at the truth in the famous
Sacco-Vanzetti case, but in one re-
spect he could have done better. 1t
would have been well had he provided
that persons who have been interview
ed by himself and his advisory com
mittee give their testimony in public.
The people are entitled to know ex-
aetly and in detail what the witnesses
are telling the governor and his COM
mittee No harm would come in hav-
ing the proceedings public, provided
they were conducted in an orderly and
dignifed manner. The governor and
committee will of course issue reports
after the Investigation is finished,
very likely giving much detail, but
there would seem to be no good reason
why the public should not know now
ALL that is being told BY the wit
nesses. 1t is not too late for Cover
nor Fuller to direct that full publicity
be given the hearings. Such a move
would be in the interest of fair play
and in harmony with American prin-
ciples of publicity for judicial and
semi-judicial proceedings.
