ASSAILED IN CONGRESS

By Scripps-H otOord Newspaper AIIidmce
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The
labor dispute involving twenty-five
pilots discharged by Century Air
lines of Chicago, after they had re-
fused to accept a reduction in wages,
has taken a new turn in congress.
Representative Clyde Kelly Rep.,
Pa, often called the father of the
air MAIL" declared that the govern
ment would not sanction an air mail
subsidy to any airline which beats
down employees wages below rea-
sonahle level.
Kelly Is a member Of the house
poStoff1ce committee, which handles
air mail legislation. The Century
lines do not have mail contracts,
but E. L. Cord, Century president,
has put UP strong fight in the
last few weeks to get air mail fo3
his lines.

1t will operate at least once in
ten days over route of more than

WASHINGTON, Feb. ID Cap
tain Ira Eaker, famous army flier,
this week for the fifth time in his
flying career was forced to land his
airplane without wheels.
1t was the same old trouble. The
landing gear of his fast racing
plane, which folds up into the
wing, refused to unfold when he
got ready to land.
So he just slid the ship along
the ground on its belly until it
stopped. Nothing hurt but the
propeller.
Eaker has had similar expert
ences in Mexico, Cleveland and
twice at Boiling field here. The
latest one was at Mitchell field,
New York.

them:
