A Tangled Airport

There is reasonable prospect that within short time
the high tension wires which create menace at one end
of the Washington Hoover Airport will be removed
That would eliminate one of the serious faults which
make this airport disgrace to the National Capital and
shame to the Nation.
BUT IT WOULD NOT REMOVE THE HAZARD TO
BOTH AIR AND GROUND TRAFFIC WHICH EXISTS
AT THE PORT BY REASON OF MILITARY ROADS
COURSE DIRECTLY THROUGH THE FIELD.
1t is absurd that red-tape and selfish cOnsiderG-
tiOns should be permitted to maintain this road in
its present position WEere it daily endGngerS hun
dreds of HUes and threatens destruction of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars IUOrth of property.
The road at present bi-sects the airport.
All of the large planes utilizing the port forced to
cross the road in order to take off or land.
THEY GENERALLY ARE TRAVELLING AT A TER
R1F1C RATE OF SPEED WHEN THEY TRAVERSE
THE ROADWAY.
The road is busy cne from the standpoint of auto
mobile traffic carrying does large number of cars
into and out Of nearby Virginia
In order to minimize the danger of accidents the
road signal lights and siren have been installed and
guard on duty to stop automobile traffic when plane
approaches or is about to leave.
The scene is very similar to those which took place in
country villages in the early days of the railroad.
THE SAFETY MEASURES WHICH HAVE THUS
FAR BEEN TAKEN ARE RECOGNIZED BY AU-
THoRIT1Es AS A MAKEsHIFT
They cannot be depended upon to preserve the safety
either of motorists or fliers.
It would require great engineering skill to divert the
road around the airport.
1t DOuId not cost any great amount of money,
and in these days When bOOndOggIing projects are
being financed Nth fLOlUing Government funds,
the financing of Job of real york. with permanent
returns in safety and convenience, UOuLd at least
be novelty.
The present airport probably could be made into
an ideal air terminal for National Capital
BUT WITH THE ELIMINATION OF THE RIBBONS
OF DEATH AROUND ONE SIDE AND THE CLOSING
OF THIS HAZARDOUS ROAD SOME REAL PROG
RESS COULD BE MADE.

LABOR SHORTAGE!

LABOR SHORTAGE!
Continuing in its intensity is
the quarrel between the office Of
the quarGermaster general Of the
Army and the District CommiS-
sionerS concerning the inability Of
the Army to secure men from re-
lief rolls to work on the 5000, 900
WPA construction job at Boiling
Field.
At present the Army is attempt
ing to devise some plan by which
it could secure unemployed men
not on relief rolls to carry on the
work, since the Commissioners
have contended there were no
common laborers on their lists.
It is extremely doubtful, how
ever, that the Army will be per-
mitted to draft men in that man.
ner. as the PWA act provides labor
must be secured from relief
rosters.
For almost six months the Army
has sought men to carry on the
construction Work at boIIlng F1eIQ,
but has been unsuccessful because
the Commissioners said they did
not have the men.
The Army learned 500 men were
to be released from one job and
asked for their services. One
WPA subordinate in the District
Building who has played an un-
usual part in the quarrel said that
the men might work at Boiling,
but later gave the excuse they
were needed on another job.
Again when the quartermaster
generals office asked for help, the
sarcastic answer, so appropriate
with millions Of unemployed in the
country, was:
1--WE have plenty of women on
relief if you can use 500 of them" :"

STOLEN COAL CREATES
DIFFICULT SITUATION

More than 500 retailers, operators,
a large delegation from the Scranton
Chamber of Commerce, and others
interested in the anthracite business,
heard a first-hand report on the
stolen coal situation recently at the
Hotel Astor in New York City, by
Walter Gordon Merritt, chief cOun-
sci for the operators, who definitely
stated that alpns were being made
for aggressive action to end the
evil.
Pointing out that an army Of from
$4,000 to 10000 men is stealing $780,
100000 of coal a year, Mr.. Merritt
told of the widespread depredations
principally in the lower fields. He
said that at the present time it was
practically impossible for owners Of
coal lands to secure adequate police
protection because of the extraOrdi-
nary situation existing in that sec
tion; that these thieves have been
operating so openly and so long
without mOlestation that they actu-
ally seem to think they have a right
to rob as much as they like.
Ira C. Cochran, Administrator of
the Philadelphia Retail Coal Confer
ence, in addressing the luncheon,
told of the influx of stolen coal into
the Philadelphia market. He esti-
mated that 95 per cent Of coal being
trucked into this area is stolen.
In this connection, the New Jer-
sey Fuel Merchants Bulletin for
states that recent checks
made showed that so per cent Of
coal-loaded trucks that enter New
Jersey pass through to New York
City, and that 75 per cent of all
truck coal entering New Jersey is
stolen.
others who spoke at the luncheon
in New York were Roderick Stew
ems. President of Stevens Fuel Co.;
J. NJ. Fitzgerald, Vice Chairman of

Of the Eastern Railroads; DR.. U. A.

The cotton market turned up, to-

Gains ranged to three points net.
The market was dull and held in
a comparatively narrow range, re-

mate. Buoyancy toward the end
was due largely to crop weather
forecast indicating rains over
many portions of the belt.

chasing in moderate quantities
throughout the session while the
