VXTHILE the analogy is not as
w fitting as I would like to make
it. I am reminded that in the court
room the sentiment is overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the defendant, and
that this sentiment grows in pro-
portion to the outrageousness OF the
crime committed, or the shapel-
ness of the dainty murdereSs'
ankles.

In the case Of the monoplane
wings You will find a much larger
and sturdier type Of airfCiI. This
is due principally to the fact that
the entire load Of the craft IS
carried on the single wing, and
therefore all the bracing must be
carried directly to the fuselage.
An advantage Of the biplane
is that the wings can be com.
pIetely assembled and braced In
dependent.y Of the flSelage; that
Isl, they may be treated as sepa-
rate units and removed or IN
stalled quickly with the least
amount Of work.
Biplane Used In Warfare
The type Of plano used In war.
fare is the biplane. It lis stronger
and the wing unit may be read.
lily replaced. The HlaneuveIa Dil.
ity is very much greater than
that Of the nonoplane.
In the general commercial field,
where little more than straight
flying is required, the rnol1oplane
is extensively used. Here its eff
cheney in load carrying can be
used to an advantage.
Along air1nail routes you viii
find generally the hiplane IN use,
owing to The fact that II Is neces-
sary for these planes to fly
through all sorts Of weather con
ditions. The advantage il ma
neuverability Is an added factor
Of safety.
Student training planes are 81.
most universally III the hiplane
type. In fact, the largest per
ceiatage Of the planes On the
market today are Of the biplaae
type.
II you will recall several lessons
back. I mentioned something
about rnultiplane interference.
Even in the very early days Of
aircraft building, it was found
that If two wings we're used, one
over the other ii biplaIle fashion,
with g square foot wing area
equal to the area Of single
wing, the lifting ability was
greatly reduced. Neverthe less, Il
construction possibilities regard
ing strength were so well known
that some means had to be found
to overcome the interference Of
the Hnultipla ) Arrangement.
At this pcirl the wind tunnel
aided III showing that there were
two methods BY which the eff
cheney Of SUI an arrangement
could be increased by staggering
the airfoiis and also BY increaS-
ing the gap or distance between
the wings. It has been found
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1929-12-23

that unless the gap between the
airfoils Is at least twice the
chord there Is q conflicting Of ir
currents.
How Efficiency Is Reduced
Recall the diagram which APP
peared IN The washington Times
showing the action Of the air
currents over the wing. This Is
exactly what takes place over
the airfoils Of ! biplane. How
ever, when the wings are closer
than the distance Of twice the
chord, the negative pressure area
over the top Of the lower wing Is
reduced, as Is the positive pres.
sure area on the lower side OF
the upper airfoil. One area
conflicts with the other.
In the case Of q biplane where
In the gap between wings Is
equal 10 the chord, the efficiency
is only little more than 80 per
cent Of that Of q nonoplane Of
the same square foot wing area.
Staggering the wings, as I
mentioned, offers considerable aid
IN increasing the biplane lift.
Positive stagger is used IN most
cases, that is. by placing the
upper wing slightly forward over
the lower wing. Negative stag
ger is obtained BY placing the
lower wing forward Of the upper

!. C. C. MERGER
PLAN STARTS
CONFLICT

The plan to consolidate tbs
nations vast network Of ran.
roads into 10 major systems,
evolved By the Interstate Com
merce Commission after years Of
effort, has aroused q storm OF
conflicting opinion that was
fairly inundating the commission
today.
The opinion was general that
left by themselves, withou en-
abling legislation in Congress. ths
roads never viii be able to carrw
out the commissions plan, and
that IN any event tfc-c will be
long and bitter controversy be-.
fore the consolidation plan can
be made effective, If ever.
A meeting Of the Association
of Railway Executives probably
will be held in New York next
month to discuss the whole set-lIp.
The association. however. is quite
likely to find itself divided on
the merits Of the commissions
plan.
Some Commend It
Those executives like the Van
SWeringenS, who realized most Of
their detectives In the commits
sion's serellp, generally COM
mended the plan as far-Seeing
and equitable; those like L. r.
Loree, who failed to realize his
ambition for establishing q fifth
major trllnk-line in the East cen.
tering around the Delaware and
Hudson, were extremely critical
Of it; and those who were largely
unaffected we're on-committal.
Virtually the same division Of
opinion was to be found In Con-
greSS, which, 1t was agreed, must
in the final analysis give life or
death to the undertaking.
Loree, who has sought llnSuc-
ceSSfully for years to evolve o
fifth trunk line plan that would
win the commissions approval,
declared that the plan now pro-
posed is biased on political con-
siderations.''
Ripley Is Critical
Prof. VIM. q. Ripley, the Har-
ward economist, who wrote q
consolidation plan Of his own
back in 1871. was equally critical.
He characterized the commissions
plan to organize o fifth trunk
line In eastern territory based on
the Wabash as startling and ais
economic philandering."

Where Is the A. F. of L.?

To anyone interested in the rights and welfare of
the workers, the American Federation of Labor, meet
ing in Toronto this week. S a somewhat pathetic or
ganization.
1t has to report a failure to make appreciable gains
IN membership. being now below three million, COM
pared with it's five million and more in 1920.
1t has to report a labor awakening in the south
in which it has little share. and industrial warfare
in the south Which it has done little to mitigate.
It has to report increasing chronological %unemploy-
ment caused by machines doing the work of men, and
its own inability to obtain governmental unemploy-
ment and old age pension systems to protect strapped
labor.
1t has to report basic industries, such as steel, auto
mobiles, rubber, oil, in which labor has neither or
ganization nor collective bargaining.
It has to report other basic industries, such as coal
and textiles, in which chaotic conditions drift from
bad to worse, with the federation having no con-
s~tructive program to prevent increasing suffering in
those trades.
1t has to report growth of the anti-labor injunction
evil Handwriting the unions, and its helplessness to
protect the constitutional civil rights of the workers.
And all this Is happening in the most powerful,
most prosperous, and ~allegedly most enlightened
democracy in the world.
1t would seem that there is something seriously
wrong either with the country or with the American
Federation of Labor. Perhaps much is wrong both
with the country and with the A. F. of L.
Certainly government and industry are jointly re-
sponsible when the secretary of labor must admit that
there are among us from 10 to 20 million people who
dc, not share as they should in the prosperity enjoyed
by the rest of U.S." Certainly government and industry
are jointly responsible for the legal and physical ter
rorism which victimize workers and their unions.
But, after all, what is the American Federation of
Labor forP Unions are organized in trades and feder-
ated in a national body for the specific purpose OF
protecting the interests of labor. If the A. F. of L.
can not get justice for labor in congress, in the
courts, and in industry, who can?
The truth is that the A. F. of L. is failing mdser-
ably in it's stewardship. Every year its weakness is
more apparent.
The southern textile situation is a vivid example
of that failure, but it is Only one of many examples.
For thirty years the A. F. of L. has ignored the field,
except for easy resolutions and a handful of organ
izers. The Job has been left to the Communists.
While the hungry southern mill hands are facing
alone the organized employers and hostile authorities,
beaten by mobs and shot down by sheriffs, the sleek
A F. of L. officials sit ~twiddling their thumbs at ma
hogany desks In Washington or make patrloteer1ng
speeches to the National Security League or at West
Point.
The A. F. of L. is accurately described as the aris-
tocracy of labor. All aristocracies are subject to dry
rot.
