AIR TRANSPORT SEEN
TAKING LONG STRIDE
Half of 100000 Miles World
Total in 1929 Credited to
United States.

GENEVA.-The League of Nations
! communications and transport section
In q study of the economic organization
of the worlds air transport facilities
estimates that in 1929 freight and pas
senger carrying airplanes flew the equiv
alent of 100000 miles, of which
nearly 10000, 900 miles are to the credit
of the United States.
France follows with 5,250,000 miles,
Germany about the same, Great Britain
1850, 900 miles, Italy 3,250,000 miles, the
figures dwindling down to small mileage
for Holland, Switzerland and Soviet
Russia.
IN all. this represents the mileage of
1850 times the circumference OF the
earth.
Regular passenger and freight air
lines in Europe approximate one-hfth
of the length of the rail lines; in Asia,
one-sixth; in Africa, one-fifth; in
America (including Canada and South
America), one-sixth; in Australasia,
one-eishth. For the entire world the
proportion Is one-sixth.
These services accounted for 87,000,-
600 passenger miles in 1929.
OF European civilian air services those
of Germany increased the most rapidly
in 1925 and 1927, those Of France in
1928, those of Italy and Great Britain
in 1929. Hollands most rapid growth
was in 1925.
Taking Germany's highly organized
services as typical, carrying freight and
passengers to 10 different countries on
regular schedules, it is noted that the

ton, etc, ran to 26,500 900 words sent

PHILADELPHIA, September 12.-The
MANAGEMENT of the Stanley Warner

announced today that they would con-
tinue unhampered despite the strike

sicians' Protective Association The
strike affects approximately 254 mu-
Sicians. 2l0 of whom are employed
IN Stanley Warner houses and the
others in the Fox Theaters.

after the managers refused to comply
with the associations demand that all
musicians be retained until September
a5. pending further arbitration of the
differences between the arrangements
and the union.
The musicians are asking for re-
neveal of contracts already IN ex-
tstence. while the theater arrangements
propose a reduction of IS per cent in
the orchestra stats.
In a statement made last night, Will
liam Goldman, district manager of the
Stanley-Warner Theaters, stated the
reductions in the orchestra stats is
made necessary by the introduction OF
talking pictures, which mot only do
not require but do not permit OF the
accompaniment of musicians"

DETROIT, September ia strike
of union musicians against Detroit
theaters was voted shortly after mid

Early statements of the officials of
the local of the American Federation
zof Musicians and of theater owners were
in conflict as to the number of men

the issues involved.
A contract between the union and
the theaters expired September l, and
the men have been playing under a

tract. Union leaders charged that
efforts were being made to reduce wages
and to decrease the number of men
employed.
A statement by executives of the Fox
Theater said that the managers were
wiling to maintain the same wage
scale as was in force under the old
contract, but requested that they be
permitted Ito make a nominal de-
crease in the number of men that they
were employing because of the fact
that they had changed the. policy of
their programs"
