ON BOARD AIRCRAFT CARRIER
LEXINGTON. April 26.-Naval aviation
barred its fighting teeth today to visiting
Congressman and military officials In a
spectacular flying circus 20 miles of the
Virginia Coast
Sixty-nine airplanes hurting into the
air at 10-second intervals from their
nest on the Lexington screamed through
fair skies in sham battles and formation
flights.
The aerial armada turned attacks on
Its mother ship, which barked and rat
tied its defense with FIRE from anti-air-
craft, secondary and machine gun bat
teries.
Torpedo planes, approaching under
cover of a curtain Of smoke to launch
their missiles, were attacked from above
by fleet, single-seat fighters
The fighters, wires screaming and
motors whining, dived and twisted In
separate stunts and staged mimic dog
fights
Two destroyers and the United States
ship Aroostook Swallowed the carrier in
the maneuvers, standing by as protec-
ton in forced landings
For three hours the air fleet rode
the skies, descending one by one to their
floating fields where cables across the
deck were seized by hooks beneath the
planes to bring them to standstill.
Fresh from maneuvers in Caribbean
waters, the fiiers were declared to Sc
"at the peak of performance" by naval
officers who lined the gun turrets TO
witness the circus.
Bingham a Passenger.
Senator Hiram Bingham, Connecti-
cut, a World War flyer and president
of the National Aeronautical Associa-
ton, rode as passenger in one of the
scouting planes A perfect demonstra-
ton was marred by two minor mishaps
One plane. bouncing after its hook en-
gagged a cable, broke landing gear
strut. An amphibian, whose hook could
not be lowered by the pilot, turned back
to its coastal base.
Amelia Earhart, transatlantic flyer,
was among the official guests with
David S. ingalls,, Assistant Secretary of
Navy for Aeronautics; Clarence M.
Young, Assistant Secretary of Commerce
for Aeronautics, and members of the
Senate and House naval affairs and APP
preparations committees.
The visitors inspected the carrier,
originally planned as a battle cruiser,
but revamped after the 1922 limitation
of arms conference, as it rode a calm
sea eastward In the face of 20-mile
wind.

LABOR |NJUNCT|ONS
BILL IS APPROVED
Senate Subcommittee Acts
on TWo-Year-0Id Ship
stead Measure.

BY the Associated Press.
A subcommittee of the Senate judi
ciary committee yesterday approved
the two-year- Shipstead bill to limit
the Jurisdiction of courts in issuing
injunctions in labor disputes.
The subcommittee at the same time
approved the proposal of Senator Van
denberg, Republican, Michigan, to per-
NIT change of judges considering con-
tempt complaints, on demand of the
defendant, in cases growing out of at
tacks made outside of court on the
character or conduct of the Judge. The
committee incorporated the Vanden-
berg bill in bill introduced by Sem
ator Shipstead of Minnesota in Deem
Der, 1927.
Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska,
chairman Of the committee, said the
bill as approved would OUTLAW yellow
dog contracts" II enacted, and would
make the power of injunctions work
both ways, as it does not now"
Introduced in September.
The Vandenberg bill was introduced
discussed case of the Cleveland Press,
In which that newspaper criticized a
judge for granting an Injunction, was
cited for contempt and found guilty,
the decision later being reversed by
the Ohio Supreme Court.
The bill approved would invalidate
yellow dog" contracts, Norris explained,
by providing that no promise or agree
ment contrary to the public policy out
lined in the act should be q ground for
granting legal relief. Such contracts
in which the worker agrees not to Join
labor unions while in the employ of
the company, are against that policy"
Norris said, and consequently violation
of them would not be grounds for In
junction If the bill were enacted.
Prohibits Injunctions.
The bill would specifically prohibit
injunctions in labor disputes to pre-
vent any of the following actions:
Ceasing or refusing to perform any
work or to remain in any relation of
employment, becoming or remaining a
member of any labor organization or
Of any employers organization, paying
strike or unemployment BENEFITS or In
Surance, aiding any person participat-
ing in labor dispute by any lawful
means, giving publicity to the facts of
q labor dispute or assembling peace
ably to organize.
The bill would require that before
issuing an Injunction the court estab-
lish that greater injury would be In
hicted upon the complainant by denial
than would be inflicted upon the de-
PENDANTS by granting relief.
