vARNEY AIR MAIL NEWS

Flying day and night varney mail
planes carrying transcontinental mail
out of and into the Northwest fly q
total of 3454 miles every "a hours.
Post Office schedules call for two SER
vices each way per day from Pasco to
Salt Lake City. Mail is flown to spo-
kane, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland
from Pasco and back each day.
To fly this mail the Varney company
uses small, 200 horsepower Stearman
bi-planes, 8 large stearman Speed
Mail planes with 525 horsepower mot
ors, and Boeing mail planes with 525
horsepower each. This is total of
10 ships carrying air mail exclusively
all In Northwest territory. The east
ern terminus OF the lines being Salt
Lake City.
10 mail pilots are employed by the
varney Air Lines to give the North
west the start and end of its trans
continental mail service. Westbound
mail is picked up at Salt Lake City
and flown to the population centers
and flown east as far as Salt Lake.
From there on 1t Is taken by other
lines.
Small groups Of pilots are assigned
to regular runs from $50 to 800 air
miles each. One pilot flies his run
and back again each day, thus enabl-
ing him to establish permanent
home at one point and become part
Of his local community with home and
interests. Most Of the varney pilots
are married and have fanatics. This
method also allows a pilot to become
so familiar with the territory he flies
over that 1t results in more con-
sistent mail service.
Points Of contact of the varney mail
network are Seattle, Portland, Pasco
Spokane, Boise, Salt Lake City and
Tacoma.
The telegraph teletype system is the
nerve center for the Northwest air
mail network. At each principal field
of the Varney mail system dispatcher
keeps close track Of all movements of
mail planes. Each time plane takes
off or lands, in fact, each time any
information is received regarding the
proximity of the pilots, messages are
licked off to all points in the system
with as much ease as writing 1t on
typewriter. The keyboard Is identical

SHIFT IN RAILROAD
LABOR is SLIGHT
Mergers and Use of New
Machinery Have Little
Effect on Pay Rolls.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.


Danger to labor from proposed
consultations in industry is being
minimized in both industrial and gov
ernmental circles. This has become
evident through the testimony before
the Senate interstate commerce COM
mittee in connection with the Couzens
bill to halt all railroad consolidation,
for a time at least. The danger Is
also being discounted in other in
dustries.
Joseph B. Eastman of the Interstate
Commerce Commission has pointed
out that the transition to consolida-
tions would require years to effect and
that any alteration in railroad employ
ment would be extremely gradual.
Labor Supply Smaller.
Railroad officials here for the hear
ings declare that practically as many
employees will be required to operate
the merged lines as to keep them going
independently. Moreover, fewer men
are entering railroad employment be-
cause of the trend toward white collar"
Jobs. In fact, one of the difficulties
Of the roads has been to secure
enough high-grade men for certain
types of jobs and this as much as eco
nomic reasons forced the replacement
of manpower by machines. Railroad
men normally retire at a certain age,
while a certain percentage die before
that age, and the losses from these
factors are no more than counter
balanced by the number of men coming
fresh into the industry.
Even the executives are not likely
to feel the weight of the official ak,
railroad men assert. Their experience
undoubtedly will be needed for years
In working out the details Of amalga-
mated operation.
as a whole is strongly opposed to
Stacking the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the matter Of approving
mergers. It Is asserted on authority
that only one commissioner fully ap-
proves the Couzens measure. 1t un-.
doubtedly has supporters in the Sen
ate, however, and In some State regu-
latory bodies.
Other Labor Problems.
The situation as to railroad labor is
OF extreme importance, since similar
conditions are faced by other mergers,
including the steel companies and
banking houses. It is pointed out,
however, that when the United States
Steel Corporation was formed the ex-
ecutiveS of the constituent companies
were retained IN nearly every case Wnen
they wished to remain. Moreover, it
is claimed that the number of laborers
employed increased rather than dimin-
tShed.
While the railroad situation is COM
plicated by pending legislation, the
program for the taking over of various
lines under the Interstate Commerce
Commission plan is at a standstill It
Is true the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
road will ask permission this week to
issue $4,000, 900 worth of new stock,
but this will not be used for the pur-
pose of taking over the roads allo-
Gated to the system.

Methodist minister, who died last
week at his home in the Shenan-
doah National Park area of Madi-
son county, was hastened to
death by worry over the prospect
of having his home and lands
taken over by the Federal Gov
ernment for park purposes, his
friends claim.
Recently Rev. Mr.. Nichols lost
his barn by fire and a few weeks
ago mountain fires burned O
great deal of the fencing around
his mountain farm. His extensive
apple orchards were also badly
damaged by flames sweeping over
them.
