CARTWRIGHT, Labrador, July
13. U.P)-The great Italian air ar
mada of "a seaplanes, led by Gen.
Italo Balbo, continued its epochal
flight toward Chicago today, with
nearly 1000 miles of its TOO mile
flight from Italy behind it.
PauSing only overnight after yes
terday's 1900 mile jump from Rey-
kiavik to Cartwright, the planes
were adjusted, the crews refreshed
by sleep and the journey to She
diac, N. B., the next stop, started
at 9:2O a. m.
Aided by excellent flying condi-
tions. the planes left the water rap
idly in groups, and all were in the
air 35 minutes after Balbo took
off.
From Cartwright to Shediac, 800
miles, the course law down the Lab
rador coast, over Belle Island
straits between the mainland and
Newfoundland, and across the
gulf CT st. Lawrence to sheltered
Shediac harbor, on the Northum-
berland straight that separates
New Brunswick from Prince Edward
Island.
Thence to Chicago but two stages
remained-Shediac to Montreal, 500
miles, and Montreal to Chicago,
1000 miles.
There were reports that if the
weather was ideal the flyers might
continue on at once from Shediac
TO Montreal.
" Yesterday S flight was trying
and for several hours hazardous
through dense Jog when the yisibil-
ity was so bad that we could not
see 100 yards on either side at
times, - Balbo said. MY anxiety
during these hours was indescrib-
able, realizing as I did the danger
OF collision if a plane sweryed in
the slightest from the plotted
course or broke the line of forma-
ton, to which the planes had been
ordered to adhere strictly.

Ready to Negotiate
With Strikers

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. is
Effective picket lines before
the striking silk and dye plants
today smashed the truce
reached in Washington to start
work this morning without conced-
ing to the demands of the workers.
The manufacturers last night made
hurried shift in plans by deciding
not to open their plants today. The
Audiger- Meyer attempted TO open
but was quickly shut when strikers
picketed the factory.
Following the picketing several
thousand strikers participated in
parade through town. The march
was a demonstration of unity Of all
strikers as it included members OF
the American Federation Of Labor
dye local as well as those Of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union
In Lodi also the strikers picketed
the factories and kept them shut.
The strike committee OF the Unita5
Textile Workers Union met in Scran-
ton yesterday. Although its Presi-
dent, MacNfahon, and other officials
participated in negotiating the
treacherous truce the strike commit
tee voted Overwhelmingly to reject il
This left the U. T. W. leaders in
peculiar position. For instance,
Schweitzer, Secretary OF the Associ-
ated Silk Union, affiliated with the
U. T. W., timidly supported the strik-
ers in Paterson where he dared not
come out openly for the truce.
But while speaking to strikers in
Easton, Pa, he told them to carry
out the truce. He was booed by the
audience and had to leave the hall
Ann Burlak, of the N. T. W.. u
speaking at the same meeting, was
received enthusiastically and 400
joined the union.
The Associated Silk Workers are
voting today on the truce at Rose
land. A delegation chosen at the ma
tional conference of silk and dye
strikers in Allentown will appear be-
fore the meeting. They will urge the
reputation of the truce and ask
them to elect representatives to the
national strike committee which will
meet tomorrow night in Allentown
1t is believed that arrangements
will be made between manufacturers
and strikers to negotiate an agree
ment. This comes as a result Of
communication Of Ann Burlak TO
Arthur D. Whitside, an assistant OF
the NRA.
1T was reported that members of
the National Committee" writes the
Paterson News" communicated
with Whiteside and made arrange
ments for the conclave at which the
strike settlement will be discussed"
This is very significant as it is a
sign that manufacturers and NRA
officials who have barred the doors
to representatives of the strikers are
willing to start negotiations.

This is the result of plant confer

Pig iron production, which slumped
somewhat when the harvest began,
has now again reached it's highest
level, $4,000 tons per day.
The daily carloadings set new
record on Sept. II of 56,711 cars. The
Plan. however, calls for $4,000 cars
per day. The average for August was
$4,000. but energetic measures were
taken. New political sections we're
created, and forces reallocated in view
