u punitive expedition of 1916
and in France during the World War,
qualify Lieut.. Col. Walter G. Kilner,
Army Air Corps. as truly early bird.
Mike" Kilner, as he is known to
his comrades, began his flying career
in 1914, when military aviation still
was in comparatively primitive stage
of development and when the ranks
of Army aNators included a mere
handful of those venturesome souls
who laid the foundation for the Air
Corps Of today. Col. Kilner has just
completed year as a student in the
Army War College here. He now is
back again on active flying duty at
Langley Field. Hampton, Va.
Born in Shelby, N. Y, July 8, 1888,
this veteran Army pilot was gradu-
ated from the United States Military
Academy in June, 1912. After two
years of service as second lieutenant
in the Sd Infantry he got himself
transferred out of the doughboy serv-
ice and was detailed as a student at
the Signal Corps Aviation School,
San Diego, Calf.
Completes Air Training.
Lieut.. Kilner completed his flight
training, passed the required tests for
the rating Of junior military aviator
and became assistant to the officer
in charge Of training. He then was
assigned to the famous Aero Squadron
under command OF Capt. Benjamin
D. Foulois, retired last Winter as
chief of the Army Air Corps, with
the rank of major general.
Under Foulois, Kilner flew into
Mexico with the punitive column led
by Gen. John j. Pershing. 1t was
the first real field service for Ameri-
can military aviation, and it paved
the way for the organization a year
later of the Army Air Service of the
World War period. Kilner few recon-

Soon after the United States de-

OREGON MILL GROUP OUT.
Astoria Plant Closed and Surrounded
by Pickets.

ASTORIA, Greg, September CP.-
"A group Of employees Of the Pillsbury-
Astoria FIGURING Mills went on strike
today.
The mill was closed and pickets
surrounded 1t, with union leaders
claiming IS per cent Of the $50 en-
p!oyes had joined the walkout.
Conflicting statements came from
each side, but both agreed the sit
uation had no connection with the
mill troubles at the home office of
the company in Minneapolis. Strikers
said the break resulted from the
refusal Of the company to recognize
the union.
M. r. Dougherty, general manager
OF the mill, said the company was
ready to recognize the union, but
has refused a union demand that the
mill hire only union. or, if available,
only outside men qualified for union

DERSISTENCE of strikes in the

of unrest. A gain of 225,000 new
members was reported by the gen.
eral confederation of labor. organ

Altogether it was estimated that
100000 workers were still absent
from their jobs, in spite of reports
of strike settlements in scattered
sections throughout the country.

The hotels were closed indefinitely

CONTINUING business recovery
~ during the first six months of
1886 fulfilled the hopes of optimist-
ic prognosticators and surpassed
the expectations of conservative
forecaSterS.
All the leading trade barometerS
registered fair business weather at
the close of the first half of the
year. The production of automo-
biles reached 100000 units in the
first six months of 1886, the best for
the period since 1929.
Improvement was further reflect
ed by the steel industry, the opera
tons of which rose from 1872 per
cent of capacity at the start of the
year to 71.2 per cent at the end
of June. The output of electricity
climbed steadily to reach an all
time peak in June.
The steady recovery of the rail-
roads was indicated by carloadings
which worked up to approach their
best levels since 1881. The figures
for the first six months of 1886
were substantially better than
those for the similar period of 1885.
A strong upsurge of home build
ing gave impetus to the construc-
ton industry although it still re-
manned at subnormal levels.
Another barometer of improved
conditions was the stock market
which extended the gains it made
in 1895 and reached the highest
ground it has held since 1881.

n ESPITE his previous decision
- declaring unconstitutional the
tax on railroads to permit pensions,
Justice Jennings Bailey of the Dis
trict of Columbia Supreme Court
ruled in an oral opinion that the
railroad retirement board could
pay pensions to railroad workers.
The justice declared that his pre-
viouS decision on the validity of
the rail pension laws could not be
construed to mean that the retire
ment act itself was unconstitution-
al. He ruled that the government
could proceed to collect from rail
workers a sum amounting to 3 IL
per cent of their salaries and could
use the money to pay retirement
pensions to the workers when they
reach IS years of age or have
worked 40 years.
He also ruled that the railroad
retirement board could proceed to
collect information on which to al
lot the pensions, provided it did so
at it's own expense and by recon-
pensing the railroads for any cleri-
cal work involved.
Justice Bailey's original decision
in the case had specifically en-
joined the railroad retirement
board from taking any steps to
compel the railroads to furnish in
formation. The decision ruled that
the tax law adopted to finance the
pensions was unconstitutional and
ruled that the tax measure and re-
tirement measure setting up means
of paying the pensions were Sin
separable."
