WAY TO BRAZIL
Leaves Uruguay; WarShip
Taking President Elect to
Rio de Janierio.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent

MONTENEGRO, Uruguay, Dec.
18.-President-Elect Herbert Hoover
left Uruguay today. He will rest
several days aboard the United
States steamship Utah, which will
take him to Rio de Janeiro-the
last of the South American coun-
tries to be visited.
During the last week the Presi-
dent-elect has visited three major
capitals and has been in conference
with dozens of prominent officials.
Likewise, he has gathered a great
mass Of data which he will be able
to go over on the way home.
The Utah, which will carry the
Hoover party back to the United
States, was unable to come close
into the harbor because of its heavy
draft. The Uruguayan light cruiser
Uruguay transferred the party to
the Utah from the docks.
The formal entertainment was
closed last night with a banquet in
the ballroom of the Parque hotel
given by President Campisteguy.
The president, in his formal adj
dress of welcome to the visiting
American statesman, said that tina
stay in Montevideo indicated the
warmeSt possible expression of sim
cere friendship between the two
countries and expressed the hone
that the trip would result in a
strengthening of the traditional
amity between the two nations.
Hoover, in his reply, said the hos
pitality of the government and the
people of Uruguay would meet a
response in the hearts of the peo-
pie of the United States"

than has been destroyed by fire dur
ing the ten years operation of the
air mail service, Acting Postmaster
General Glover has pointed out.
In his statement, showing hazard
from fire to air mail is no greater,
if as great, than attendant upon
shipments of mail by railroad or
steamship, he called attention to
the fact that in one fire less than a
year ago a mail car was destroyed,
with more mail than has been lost
during entire operation of the air
mail.
Since 1918 the air mail has car
ried 1,524,0OO pounds of mail, Glover
said, and has lost 1926 pounds in
transit. The Vestris disaster caused
loss of 1,097 entire sacks of mail.

- Aviation
SOUTH AMERICA
TO EUROPE LINK
BY AIR is seen
Sister Continent Will Be
Ahead of U. S., Says
German Expert.

B9 Times Special
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-South
America will have regular airplane
service to and from Europe long
before the United States will be
able to establish such a link, in the
opinion of Martin Wronsky, head
of the recently consolidated Ger
man Anyways and a foremost fig
ure in the advancement of Euro
pean aviation.
1--WE shall not see in the near
future regular service by way Of
ireland to New York, or one by
way of the Azores and Bermuda"
says Herr WronSky, in an article
published here in The January is.
sue of The Living Age. The nat
ural handicaps of contrary winds
and greater distances will 'revent
successful airplane flights from
Europe here until planes are devel-
oped to carry sufficient fuel to
bridge the distance and enough
passengers to make the service
profitable, he points out
These developments will come,
Herr Wronsky believes, but he does
not see them as imminent. On the
other hand, he grants the prac-
ticability of dirigible service be-
tween the United States and Eu-
rope at an early date.
Giving details of the German Air
ways plan for service from Spain to
Brazil and the Argentine, to be eS-
tabliShed in 1929, the airwayS chief
points out that the route can be
traversed in a series of short hops
via the African coast and Cape
Verde islands.
Z The South Atlantic trade winds
also blow Westward, thus aiding the
hops from Europe, while the strong
North Atlantic winds, blowing east
ward, so far have prevented even a
completely successful trial flight to
the United States.
WronSky holds out hope that the
handicapS presented by prevailing
winds in each case will be overcome
by Investigations of the upper air
strata now being made both in
America and Europe.
Further Investigations in the
meteorology of flying will deter
mine whether one could fly at
various levels, sir o experience has
shown that the 3 at higher levels
often circulates counter to that at
lower levels" says his Living Age
article.
Heavier than-air flying in the
next decade will make advances
equal to those made since the war,
he believes, and such nonstop
flights as New York-Berlin or Ber-
lin-Peking will be practicable on
commercial basis.
In the meantime, the intensive
development of air line networks
covering Europe and America will
make the world so air-minded that
future flights half way round the
world will be taken as matter of
course when they come, he says.

STATEN BY
RAILRO ADS ON
WAGE SITUATION


That the railroads of California
and other western states are facing
a strike of their conductors and
trainmen early in September, when
the movement of pcrishable freight
viii be at its peak, is the tenor of
4 statement issued here today by a
committee consisting OF the general
managers of rans-continental rail
roads operating in California and
other western states
Tie statement was issued follow
ING advice that the trainmcn and
conductors have refused arbitration
on their wage demand and are now
conducting a strike ballot to be re-
turned September ,.
"'This class of railroad employees
submitted their demands to a fed
cral board of arbitration,' the
statement said, "ard, after hear
ing the case, the board declined
their request on June %, 1927 on
die ground that no increases were
warranted in the west except to
yard men, who were granted ~
percent. The conductors and train
men of railroads operating in Cali
foruia and other western states are
now receiving higher wages than
trainmen in the east and south even
under recent increase given in these
territories.
The conductors and trainmen
promptly renewed their demands
for increased wages but were un-
able to reach an agreement with
the railroads. The railroads offer
ed to submit the matter TO a board
of arbitration under the Watson
Parker railway labor act passed by
congress two years ago. This act
was drafted by the railway labor
organizations and a majority of the
railroads, passage being urged by
both of them.
Western railroads, the state
earning we'll below fair return on
investment. in the interest of har
mony. were willing to allow their
conductors and brakemen an in
crease of 612 percent, the same as
was recently granted engineers and
firemen. and which would cost a.
bout $6,500000 per annum, or al
low an increase of ~ percent pro-
vided the employees would agree to
remove certain restrictive rules that
now prevcnt the securing of full
use of modern motive power, and
which rules are not in effect in
other territories.
= Either offer meant higher rates
of wages and greater earnings than
have ever been received in the his
tory of railroading. The organiza-
tions were unwilling to accept Ell
ther proposal and declined the sug
gastion of the United States board
of mediation that the dispute be
submitted to arbitration in accord
ance with the provisions Of the rail
way labor act. -
The railroads are still willing
10 arbitrate but the labor organiza-
tions affected, having refused arbi-
tration, are now taking strike
