year ago the executive council was
instructed by the Detroit convention
to suspend jurisdictional questions
"for the time being" so the work
could be started.
The executive council now reports
that 'two conferences have been held
at headquarters" and that 1--WE are
not in a position to report in de-
tail upon this campaign. This
is the sum total of years work in
the second largest industry in Am
erica.
IN Detroit, where $4,000 Ford work
a ers read regularly the shop bull
letin issued by the Workers (Com-
munist) Party of America and are
obviously DESTROYS of having union,
it would seem that even by accident,
the various A. F. of L. organizers
who have been in Detroit this year,
would have organised a few auto
mobile workers.
But the executive council has alb
solutely nothing to report. Again we
find the reason for this given by the
official leadership on Page 25 of the
report where it reads:
There is nothing that the COM
pany union can do within a single
company that trade union can not
develop the machinery for doing
AND ACCOMPLISH MORE Eff
FECTIVELY. UNION MANAGE
COOPERATION is
MUCH MORE FUNDAMENTAL
AND EFFECTIVE THAN THE EN-
PLOY EE REPRESENTATION

THE A. F. of L. leadership in De-
troit, as elsewhere, has been APP
pealing TO THE BOSSES INSTEAD
OF TO THE WORKERS.
In the statements quoted, labor of
ficialdom, to use the plainest kind of
language, is ACTUALLY OFFER
ING TO SCAB ON COMPANY
UNIONS.
But the bosses prefer their COM
pany unions and the workers GER
tainly will not be inspired by the
thought that they will have two
bosses instead of one-capitalists
plus labor officials-if they accept
this official definition of trade
unionism.
THIS, coupled with the officially adj
mitted obsolete structural form of
the A. F. of l.. and its affiliated
unions, plus the fear of the influx of
workers, plus the earn
est desire to cause the big capitalists
no embarrassment, accounts for the
fact that by concealing the loss of
more than 100000 coal miners, A. F.
of l.. officialdom is able to show

1926-in a year.. when prosperity"
still reigns.
Organization of the unorganized
and amalgamation are shown by the

express two vital needs of the labor
They are demands that
will not be downed by setting the

once the basic industry is organised
the organization of the dependent in
dustries clustered around it takes
place almost automatically.
But in connection again with it's

executive council for the third time

AIR EXPRESS PLANES
WILL FLY UNARMED
Loads Worth $3.50, 600 Safe in Air,
but Landing Fields Will
Be Watched.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 27.-With
Inauguration on September l of a
countrywide air express service, civil.
lization moves another step away from
the swashbuckling days Of Jesse
James.
The air express is to go unarmed.
r. E. M. Cowie. president of the
American Railway Express Co., re-
vealed this today when asked about
the potential value Of an airplane ex-
press load The value Of any one
package sent by air is limited to
$1,000. But he readily acknowledged
that 20 or even so such packages
might very possibly be shipped on one
plane.
The aggregate of such load would
be one which the masked gentry of a
wilder day would have considered it
well worth their time to hold up a
train for.
But there aren't any aerial hold-up
men yet" Cowie said, 80 the air ex-
press load will merely be in charge OF
the regular pilot. No express com.
pany guard, even an unarmed one,
will ride the planes.
1.-THE only danger of hold.up of
the air express. as we vision it now,
would be at the landing fields. and
those. of course, are heavily guarded"

The flyers young wife, who never
has doubted her hush ads ability to
make the flight succe, -iully. had kept
in constant touch today with news
papers and other sources of news. She
shared with Paul j. Warner, flight
chairman, the optimistic belief that
Redfern was safe in Brazil. perhaps
down at some place where there are
no communications, but both were
becoming worried.
During the afternoon crowds began
to gather before the office of the
Brunswick News and as the scheduled
time for Redfern's arrival at Rio de
Janeiro approached more than 300
citizens were on the street before the
door of the newspaper building.
Warner had instructed Redfern on
his departure to take no chances, but
to make Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco
or Para according to his judgment
and fuel supply and, after receiving
reports Of moderate head winds across
the Caribbean Sea yesterday, express
ed the belief that the aviator would
land at Para this morning. No word
came and it was hoped that Redfern
successfully had negotiated the Carib-
bean passage and had passed in the
vicinity of Para with plenty of fuel
to make one of the other probable
destinations. This hope seemed lost
