AVIATION RISKS ACCEPTABLE TO
 UNDERWRITERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-Increas- ing safety in av-aJIon is recognized in the development of protective in surance for flying club members by the National Aeronautics associa- ton.
 A form of coverage has been evolved which will release clubs and club members from all legal lia- bility, as well as assure them of continuous flying regardless of the number of accidents or "washouts' attending instruction of members.
 Risks which a year ago were not remotely considered by aviation in- surance companies are included in the plan. the joint work of an as sociation executive committee com- posed of Edward P. Warner, Will liam P. MacCracken, jr., and Dr. George w. Lewis.
 The new plan assumes risks which have not been taken by in- surance companies = protection of students on solo flights and contin- uance of coverage even after the plane has been destroyed and re- placed
 Formerly, insurance was avail able for licensed pilots only. Liabil- ity was also only assumed for one plane When it was destroyed and

replaced, new premiums were exact ed for the new plane.
 The reinstatement clause is ab- sent under the new terms and in- surance is carried over even in the replacement of destroyed plane by insurance underwriters.
 The plan is heralded as the first step ever taken to perpetuate the activities of a flying club. There are more than 100 clubs in the country. Formerly, without insur- ance protection, clubs were often forced out of existence when the planes were destroyed

Old Astor Dining Room
 To Be Put in New Hotel

NEW YORK, Dec. 30-To pre- serve a quaint tradition the old dining room of John Jacob Astor will be preserved in the new Wal dorf Astoria hotel.
 When William Waldorf Astor moved to England in the early sos and became baronet, he decided to wreck the home of his forebears at Thirty third street rather than let it fall into unknown hands. He erected the Waldorf Astoria on the site, and stipulated that the his toric family dining room be taken from the house and set up in the hotel.
 Now it is to be transported to the new hotel, there to be used for small social occasions. The wood- work is black walnut, carved in somber early Victorian elegance, bearing the carved initials of the house of Astor.

RALLyINC TO
NATIONAL union
Bertha, Racoon, Other
Men Join

By W0f6er Correspondent
PITTSBURGH, (By MaiD.-The
organizational work of the National
Miners Union in Western Pennsyl-
vania is proceeding successfully. A
large number of new members have
been enrolled into the union in the
last few weeks. Over 60 new mem
bers joined the union in one day as
a result of an organizational tour
by Brothers Nehorsky, Tashinsky
and Kemenovich for the district or
ganization.
In an old "lizzie" these brothers
visited number of locals, activizing
them and enrolling new members.
In Coverdale, the f.st place visited,
16 new members joined the union,
making % new members during the
week. The meeting was very sue
cessful. A rank and file organiza-
tional committee was elected and
other details arranged to facilitate
the functioning of the local The
membership was enthusiastic, and
the local is we'll on the path to win
ming over all the miners in the vicin-
ity.
At the Bertha Mine, Burgetstown,
a meeting was scheduled for one of
the miners houses, as there is no
hall available So many miners
came, however, that it was necessary
to convert it into an cpen-air meet
ing. About 100 miners were present,
and As new members joined the Ma
tional Miners Union, many more
pledging to join after the next pay
day. This local started short while
ago with only 9 members, practical
ly all foreign-born. AS result of
its activities in the last two weeks,
it now has so members, and expects
to have every worker in the Bertha
Mine enrolled in short time. Many
Negro miners were present at the
meeting and lined t,,.;o union.
Raccoon and Mcdonald were also
visited the same day and the locals
popped up.
The success of this organizational
work is proof of the devotion of the
miners. to the National Miners
Union. The union in the Western
Pennsylvania District is growing
and the miners are being prepared
for a fight against wage-cuts and
for better conditions of work thru
having a strong local of the Ma
tional Miners Union in every mining

PENOWA, Pa, (By MaiD Attic
on strike only few days, the miners
of Penowa who are fighting against

Ruin Workers Health.

One Of the bosses told represen-
tatives Of the strikers that he had
more feeling for his men than they
did. This feeling is reflected in the
huge scars on the body of the men,
and the fingerless hands, due to the
tremendous speed at which workers
are forced to operate dangerous and
unguarded machinery. The interior
of the factory is dirty, smelly, and
the air is continually cloggsd by
fine saw-dust. A prominent doctor
admits that these conditions have
been the cause of frequent cases of
tuberculosis, especially among the
women workers, and that the only
cause of the recent death of a six
teen-year-old boy worker was the
clogging of his body with the saw
dust that filled the air. There are
no sanitary rest-rooms, lunch-rooms,
wash-rooms, or any other convent
encies for the use of the workers.

Many of the men who have had huge

tary lunch-rooms for the workers;
that 40 to 4S dozen buckets shall

have refused to grant these demand;
with the usual line about not enough
business, not enough money. When
they found that this line would not
work, they made flat denial that
anyobdy workeds in their plant for
$2.25 or $3.50, and offered to show
the payrolls. When this challenge
was accepted by the strike commit
tee, the bosses refused to show the
payroll. This was an outright adj
