Pittsburgh is a beacon
light of new future in the la
Dor movement.
Here on Sunday several hun
dred delegates from every mine
section in the country will come to-
gether for one of the most significant
conferences in the history of Amer
lean trade unionism.
Millions Observe.
The eyes of four millions-miners,
their wives and children-will watch
with special eagexness the delshana-
tions of these several hundred. Many
more millions in the labor movement
at large will listen and attend. What
is said in Pittsburgh on Sunday viii
become the accomplished facts of
American history in the mines, in the
mills, in the factories during the next
decade.
Fifty delegates from the anthracite
alone, scene of the most intense and
deadly struggle of a generation, have
already planned their course.
They will be at Pittsburgh. Some
will not be at Pittsburgh.
Alex Campbell viii not be at Pitts
burgh. Petre Reilly will be missing,
Tom Lillis win not be heard. big
Sam" Grecio may also fail to come.
Sam Bonita, Steve MENDOZA, Adam
Moleski will not journey to Pitts
burgh.
They viii Be Represented.
But the spirit of Campbell will
speak and act at Pittsburgh. The
militancy and the courage of Camp
bell will be seen there.
John Brophy, leader of the Save
the Union forces and former presi-
dent of District 2 who has been tour
ing the highways and byways of the
mine districts, viii be on hand. Pat
Toohey, young militant, slugged, bat
tered, oft-jailed, will lead a delega-
tion. Tony Minerich, George Papcun,
Stanley Dziengielewsl5i, Powers Hap
good, Joe Angelo, many others, will
be there.
Alex Howatt is leading delegation
from Kansas. Howatt has his own
tgood reasons for fighting the Lewis
machine besides the greater need Of
the mine union.
West Pennsylvania Is Strong.
Central and western Pennsylvania,
Districts 2, 5 and 6 are at the lead
in the number of delegates thus far
reported as on the way.
Unorganized fields have responded
to a degree which has surprised the
Save-the- Union Committee and will
cause CONSERVATION in the camps of
the open shoppers and in the hearts
of the Lewis machine henchmen.
| The anthracite is aroused over the
vicious individual contract system,
the mechanical leaders in the control
of the contractors, unemployment and
gangsterism. Yesterday came the de-
cision of Lewis that Colliery should
go back to work under these condi-
tions. This is the last straw.
A plan for saving the miners
union, extending the strike until VIC
tory is secured, the fight for the
Jacksonville scale, against the speed
lup system, for the 5-day week and
other demands are on the program.
The chief slogans are: Lewis Must
Col" and "Miners take the union into
your own hands!"
The committee today sent out a
last moment appeal for funds to help
defray the railroad fares of delegates.
Money sent by wire will still reach
headquarters in time to enable min
ers to reach the conference who would
otherwise be kept away. The address

The market bill has been before the
Senate for short periods of time on sew
eral occasions. but the controversy as
to whether the market should be in the
Southwest or somewhere north of Penn
sylvania avenue has led to so much de-

laid aside without reaching vote.
Senator Tydings, Democrat. Of Mary

Southwest site. contending the market
should be in the northern part of the
city.

We were still experimental g. and most
of my passengers were officials or Of
ficers of the Army and Navy"
Mr.. Wright and his brother construct
ed their early planes themselves with
the aid of only one or two expert me-
chanic assistants. They were very
young at the time, and with the daunt-
less spirit of youth, refused to be dis
couraged by repeated failures. Their
flying machine" could take the air and
stay in it-of that they we're certain
and they stuck to the game until vic
tory rewarded their efforts. 1t is in
teresting to note that at the time of
their first experiments an altitude of
500 feet was considered dangerously
high while now it is considered peri
lousy low
Orville Wright has scarcely reached
his prime today, and already he has
seen his flying machine" hailed as the
greatest invention of the age-the mas
ter miracle in an age of miracles. He
has seen aviation, fathered by him,
grow from its infancy to one of the
foremost methods of transportation and
instruments of national defense. He
has seen the "airy blue" of Tennyson's
prophesy, once sacred to the fowl of the
air, become peopled with man-made
birds built in the image of his own
invention. Rich recompense for tor
tuous hours of toil-dark days of dis
couragement and failures, and breath
less moments of danger when life hung
in the balance by the slenderest thread

POLE RECOMMENDS
BANK LAW CHANGES
Controller of Currency Urges
More Control Over InStitu-
tionS Not National.

Revision of the laws of the District Of
Columbia relating to banks was recon-
mended to Congress today. by Controller
Of the Currency Pole.
Declaring he was not prepared at this
time to recommend an entirely new code
for the District, the controller said there
were several amendments to the law
which were necessary"
More control over banks which are
rot national banks was asked In ex-
planning this suggestion the controller
said at the present time there are in
the District Of Columbia savings banks
or trust companies doing banking
business.
Congress has placed the general SUI
peryiSiOn and the examination of these
banks. which are not national banks,
under the controller of the currency,
Mr. Pole said. "and such banks gen.
orally advertise that they are under Fed
eral supervision. Congress, however,
has not placed in the controllers hands
the necessary authority to enforce cor
rective measures in connection with
banking where such measures are
needed 1 recommend therefore, that
law be passed placing in the controller
the right and power to make regulations
governing these banks which are not ma
tional banks with a penal provision for
the enforcement of such regulations, the
regulations to be limited in that they
shall not in any case place restrictions
on such banks which are not placed
upon national banks.

or corporation doing business in thc

supervision of the controller of the cur
rency. should be allowed to. tlSe in their
title the work bank or the words trust
company The use Of such. words with
out being under Federal supervision Is
misleading to the public. l recommend,
therefore, that there be enacted a law
prohibiting the use of such words unless
such firm, copartnership. company or
corporation is doing banking or fidu-
ciary business under supervision OF the
controller of the currency, and even in
that case the title should have the ap-
proval of the controller of the currency.
Under the present provisions of tho
District Code, corporations doing a
fiduciary business in the District OF
Columbia, having their principal place
of business in the District of Columbia.
must comply with certain provisions of
the Code, which is for the protection
OF those who do business with such
corporations. Corporations, however.
with their principal place of business
outside of the District of Columbia may
establish Offices within the District of
Columbia and do a fiduciary business
without any specified restrictions or
supervision under Code. 1t would be
very unwise and dangerous to let this
condition continue, and recommend
that the District Code be amended in
this particular.
81 also recommend a revision of the
present Code with respect to building
associations in the District Of Co

ENGINEERS WILL QUIT
CITIZENS FEDERATION
Intimation Made That Havenner's
Shake-Up of Utilities Com
mittee Is Cause.

The Washington Society of Engineers
has decided to withdraw from the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, it has
so advised David Babp, secretary of the
federation.
Although the letter announcing the
decision merely states that it is the
consensus Of the Society of Engineers
that little good can come of continued
membership" 1t was intimated by the
society's secretary, B. j. Peterson, that
the withdrawal is due to dissatisfaction
concerning the action of DR.. George C.
Havenner, president of the federation,
in shaking up the federation'S public
utilities committee.
The society's two delegates to the fed
Grafton, G. H. Spencer and C. B. Hodg-
son, were members of the public utilities
committee last year.

Fowler Preparing
Department for
Influenza Spread

Health Officer William c. FoW-
ler said today that he had pre-
pared rough draft outlining the
details of an organization to be
used by the Health Department
in the event of any serious OUT
break of influenza IN Washing
ton. While he did not make any
of the details of the plan public,
he said 1t was based on his ex-
perience during the 1918 out
break and would involve elimina-
ton of features found useless
then and possibly the trying out
of new methods.
The main element of the
scheme would be to provide proper
nursing care in the homes OF pa
rients. he said. There would be
no summoning of physicians for
volunteer duty. The physicians.
DR.. Fowler believes. will probably
have their hands full taking care
of their own patients in the event
of an outbreak and would not be
available for volunteer duty.
DR.. Fowler repeated that there
was no known method of avoiding
or preventing the disease and
that the best attitude toward it
is for people to remain calm and
not lower their general resistance
TO disease from undo fear and
worry.

ORVILLE WRIGHT DESCRIBES
HISTORIC FIRST PLANE TRIP
Flight at Kitty Hawk, N. c.,
"a Years Ago, Recalled
by Pioneer.
Pilot in Early Days of Avia-
ton Faced World of
Unknown PeriIS.

Breakfastless and four and half
hours behind schedule, a shy gray
haired man slipped into the opening
session of the International Air Con-
ference Yesterday TO be welcomed Dy
An inspiring ovation from the dele
gates, who recognized Orville Wright,
the father of aviation. and arose in
BODY to greet his unoStentatlous SIDE
door entrance.
Two or three interesting facts con-
cerning his early ships and the expert
mentations of himself and his brother,
Wilbur. were brought Out'in an informal
chat with him by the writer. Contrary
to the general impression. the flrSt sue
cessful flight at Kitty Hawk. N. c., was
made by Orville Wright alone and not
by the two brothers. There were no
facilities for passengers in this early
plane. In fact there were dangerously
meager facilities for the pilot himself.
No comfortable leather-cushioned seat
or deep cockpit graced the first Wright
plane. The pilot lay sprawled out on
the wing directly back of the engines IN
the center of the plane. His position, to
say the least, was precarlous. Nothing
but a good sense of balance, steady
hand in guiding the plane and Almighty
Providence prevented him from slip
ping off into space at any moment.
It was indeed a pioneer of great
courage as well as an idealiSt with a
splendid vision who Ventured into the
air in this amazing craft! AS for safety
belts, they were unheard of for years
after Orville Wright made his initial
solo of 6 minutes in that obscure little
field in the Carolina hills.

VIRGINIA LOCATION
Mount Weather in Blue Ridge
Proposed for Summer
White House.

For the purpose of learning from the
President first hand his ideas regarding
a presidential home in the mountains
not far distant from Washington, Rep
resentatives Elliott of Indiana, chair
man of the House public buildings COM
mittee, and Woodrum of Virginia dis
cussed the subject with the President
at the White House today.
Mr.. Woodrum explained to the Presi-
dent joint resolution introduced by
him calling upon the Public Buildings
Commission to collect data regarding
available places and to conduct hear-
ings preparatory to making report TO
the public buildings committee, where
the necessary legislation would De
ultimately drafted.
Nearby Place Favored.
The President was represented as
wanting it clearly understood that he
was not seeking permanent Summer
home, but merely a place accessible to
the Capital Where Presidents might
spend the night or the week end, or
even longer periods.
He indicated that from what he had
heard about the Weather Bureau prop
erty in the Blue Ridge Mountains, near
Bluemont. Va, he was inclined to think
that a place like that would answer
the purpose, at least insofar as he was
personally concerned.
Little Expense Probable.
The President was represented as be-
ing advised that the Weather Bureau
property would not require an eXpendi-
ture of more than $4,000 to make 1t
livable and otherwise convenient for the
purposes for which it is proposed. The

Genuine Farm Relief.

News from the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics is to the effect that the Ukraine
harvest has fallen short of expectations,
leaving $4,000 men, women and children of
the agricultural area in that part of the So
Wet Union in position where they cannot
maintain their living standards on returns
from their crop. The Soviet government, as
soon as the condition of the peasants was
ascertained, appropriated the sum of 81 ,000,-
900 rubles toward the cost of supplies
needed and the local government appro-
priated 100000 rubles for the same
purpose.
Here Is a case Of the one government on
earth that represents the people who inhabit
its territory meeting farm crisis with quick
and adequate relief. Not with fake promises
as is the case Of the republican party In this
country, or Of promises Of an investigation
committee as is the case of AL. Smith and
the democrats-both aspiring to serve as adj
illustrators of government that exists
only in order that the capitalist class may
continue to exploit the workers and farmers,
but with practical relief policies.

this section of the country, but they
no longer exist. Today what is left
of the socialists openly praise suth
politicians as Norris and Brookhart.
The l. w. w. has no members ex-
cept in few of the mining regions
of Colorado and Wyoming and there
they fight the militants and the
Communists and through their
wrong tactics they lost the Colorado
coal strike. Only the Communists
are carrying on militant campaign
against the employers and the Wall

The farmers, too, in this section
are suffering greatly because of the
exploitation of them by the capital
list class. Thousands are yearly los
ing their farms and being forced to

of the unemployed. The agricul-
