LA GUARDIA DENOUNCES
 CENTURY AIR LINES, INC.

Continued from page l, column 1.) Lines Inc.). If I am not mistaken, he had conference or hearing with members of the Committee on Appro- priations and stated that he would be willing to have his company carry air mails for 50 per cent. less than is now being paid to operators having con- tracts with the Post Office Depart ment. Then this gentleman-and I refer to a certain MT. Cord, president of the Century Air Lines (Inc.)-went back to Chicago, called in his pilots and slashed their wages 50 per cent; and in the course of the negotiations told the pilots he was going to take the romance out of aviation and bring down the salary of pilots to $125 a month. Imagine attempting to get licensed, experienced, and trust worthy pilots transporting passengers in the air for less than $3O week, less than union truck driver gets in the city of New. York
 Armed Men on Planes.
 ''Then this man announced a lock- out, discharged all the pilots, and ad- vertised for new pilots.
 "The gentleman who is going to take the romance out of aviation,' am reliably informed, has placed an armed guard in every plane, right back of the flyer. Just what the pur- pose is no one knows. Imagine the state of mind of a pilot attempting to operate a plane under such condition. The guards employed are of the usual type and character generally used as strikebreakers or scab guards. Now, some will say that such a statement is exaggerated. I will say that the management of this company presents a very low order of citizenship, judg- ing from past performances. Permit me to read a letter written last May by this company in the course of prep aration for this strike and in the course of the company's competition with other companies. have in my hand photostatic copy of letter, the original of which is in our posses sion, written by the general manager

LONERGAN CHARGES LICENSE PACKETS

Continued from page 1, column 7.) in which persons licensed under the existing ordinances of the City of Hartford secured permits for plumb ing and steamfitting work on which they themselves did no work what ever, either in journeyman or super visory capacity. If anyone here be- lieves that these persons took out these permits for jobs for other peo- pie to work upon without having been paid for the trouble involved, such believer has considerably more faith in human nature than I have. I firm ly believe that those who have taken out permits for others are repaid handsomely for it, but even if no payment were involved for this type of dishonesty, the harm done is of too serious nature for either the City or the Building Trades Alliance to overlook"

Lay Heavy Taxes on Rich
 Canadian House Demands

Ottawa-After increasing interest rates on Dominion loans and incident ally forcing the Provinces to pay as high as per cent. on new loans, the Bennett government has cut by 10 per cent. the pay of all Federal en- ployes except judges and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The credit and integrity of Canada must be pro- tected at all costs, Premier Bennett declares.
 Even the farmers representatives in Parliament denounced the govern ment's new policy of wage cutting as setting a bad example and curtailing purchasing power while the crying need is an increase of purchasing power.
 By way of protest against the gov ernment's concern for the welfare of the monied interests, the United Farmers sponsored a resolution de- claring that in the opinion of the House of Commons the government should at once increase taxes on the bigger incomes. It is probably significant of the feeling aroused that the House adopted the resolution. Whether the government will take heed remains to be seen when the budget is brought down.

Unionists Protest

Iowa Federation Informs of
 Cheating on Federal P. 0.
Complaints to Government

Cedar Rapids, Ia.-In letters sent to the Department of Labor, the Treasury Department and Iowa's Sen ators and Representative in Congress, President J. c. Lewis of the Iowa State Federation of Labor charges that union workers are being dis criminated against on the new post office being built here and that the job is not up to Government specifi- cations. Affidavits filed with the letters charge that the required amount of cement is not being put in each batch mixed for the post of flee job.
 The affidavits are from Thomas Bigg, Donald Hadsell and Don Doyle, employed on the post office job as laborers. Biggs alleges that he was directed by his foreman, Harvey Buesch, to keep "mum" about the amount of cement which was being used and to keep the empty sacks un- der cover. The other affidavits are along similar lines.
 In his letter President Lewis re- views the attempt of the contractors, J. P. Cullen & Co.,, to reduce the pay of building laborers from 65 cents per hour, the prevailing scale, to 50 cents an hour. He also alleges that union workers have been discriminated against because the company was compelled by the Government to pay the regular scale of 65 cents an hour.

 "'Dear Sir: Any number of people, including executives of the Cord Cor poration, have advised me that Thompson-'
 ''That is a competing line lis making a practice of telling ou1 passengers who are on the bus with their passengers on the 1.30 schedule their ticket and get out on the first ship, which is Thompson's, and that you have no hesitancy in refunding their money to them so that they can do this.
 I cannot understand why it should be necessary for anyone to tell you not to permit this, but rather arrange to offset it and, if possible, give Thompson's dose of their own medi- cine; but it seems that some one must tell everybody just what to do.
 "Get Hard Boiled Scrapper."
 "'Why don't you get some good hard-boiled scrapper and ride him on that bus all day long. If he hears anyone making a suggestion to any passenger about Thompson, have this tough beat him up. It was necessary to do this in the early railroad days and also in the taxicab and bus de- velopments and apparently it is nec- essary for us to adopt this sort of tactics.
 "'Get after this situation right now and let me hear from you what has been done about it.
 "Then it is signed, w. F. Bliss, their manager"
 "Now, gentlemen, MT. Cord may have taken the romance out of avia- tion, but he has put the undertaken in aviation; and now I am sure the gentlemen of the House who have and are taking an active interest in the development of aviation will all agree that such conditions must not exist in commercial aviation and that it is quite proper we should advise the travelling public to stay off of Century planes until such time as experienced, competent pilots are replaced on their ships. MT. Cord might as we'll know that if he is conducting this strike on ganster-thug methods, as indicated in the letter I have just quoted, and if he expects that citizens paying fares are going to be in danger of being beaten up, according to the written instruc- tions in their own letter, and pay pilots less than the prevailing rate of the profession, he may never hope to have a contract as long as this low type of individuals are in charge of the Century Air Lines or any other operating airplane company"

navy department was informed to-
day that American, British and
French naval officers at Shanghai
were attempting TO dissuade the
commander of the Italian cruiser
Libia from his announced intention
to open fire on the Chinese if his
ship were shelled again.
Admiral M. M. Taylor, comman-
der Of the Asiatic fleet, reported to
the department that the side of the
Libia was pierced by a Chinese
shell. He said the Libia's comman-
der had informed him that if the
firing required he would answer it..
Taylor said he had suggested to
the Italian officer that he believed
any return fire would be an error,
unless there were evidences of in
territorial and sustained Smelling on
the part of the Chinese"
The admiral said that British and
French senior naval officers at
Shanghai had concurred in his sug-
gestion.
Admiral William v. Pratt. chief
of naval operation, radioed Taylor
that his action in suggesting that

SHANGHAI, Feb. 24.-Japanese
planes rained deadly missiles on the
defenders Of Shanghai today as an
alert and smiling Chinese general
pledged himself to resist their adj
vance until the last of his legions is
exterminated, if necessary.
Firmly entrenched around Chenju
with soldiers of the Nineteenth
route army, General Tsai Ting-Kai
flung a taunting challenge to the
Japanese-"Do your worst; we are
ready"
But General Tsai's men are only
to defend.
The cheerful young commander
passed up a golden opportunity to
counter attack the temporarily
halted Japanese. There will be no
offensive by the Chinese-only a
continuation of stubborn resistance
that already sorely has tried the
Mikado's men.
Resist Air Attack
General Tsai gave me a striking
Illustration of his intentions as he
sat talking in his bomb-proofed
headquarters which 1 visited near
Chenju this afternoon. Suddenly
from out Of the sky a squadron of
Japanese planes dived at the Chin
csc breastworks, their machine guns
spewing a stream of lead and steel.
Without, hesitation, defending
soldiers leaped into anti-aircraft
dugouts and behind hay stacks.
They began a steady fire which
so discouraged the Japanese pilots
that they quickly Withdrew.
I spent several uncomfortable
minutes when the planes swooped
low over the trenches, their machine
guns rafting.
