BOND COLLECTORS

During the past few months the
national office has attempted to
ha one bond cover all defense
col ectors, but at this date has not
been able to complete such arrange

Local Unions are advised to have
their individual defense collectors
bonded as has been the custom in
the past. Premium bills are to be
sent to Headquarters for payment.
1t is important that all collectors
be bonded.

Ruling Defines Landlords
Liability for Injuries

Landlords Of apartment houses in
the District have a duty to be "rea-
sonably alert" in preventing injury
to persons using the entrances to
the buildings during periods of snow
or ice, the United States Court Of
Appeals ruled yesterday.
The tribunal made the ruling. for
which there was no precise legal
precedent in the District, in re-
versing a decision of a trial Judge in
District Court.
The case on which the ruling was
made involved a suit brought by
Catherine Pessagno of Baltimore,
Nd, against the Euclid Investment
Co., Inc. She claimed she was
seriously injured by a fall in an
apartment house driveway at 1916
Sixteenth street NV.
A District Court jury awarded her
$4,000, but the trial justice ordered
the verdict set aside and entered
Judgment in favor of the investment
company. The appellate court, in a

things were happening. Trusting to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to remedy their condition by
fixing equitable rates. the airlines
made farce Of competitive bidding
for new airmail contracts offered
by the Post Once Department.
Transcontinental g. Western Air,
seeking an off Line route, entered a
bid Of l mill per airplane mile,
which, on the basis of 100 per cent
operation for one year, involving
nearly half million miles OF flying,
would have paid $424.
The ultimate was reached on
June 10. 1898. when bids were
opened for airmail service from
Houston to San Antonio. Braniff
Airways bid $0.OOO019O7378 on a
schedule which some one figured
would return it a profit of / cent
for years operations. But East
ern Air Lines bid absolute zero
cents per airplane mile. and, de-
spite the contention that this was
no bid at all, the offer was accepted
after comedy which featured an
effort by the Post Office Depart
ment to pass the buck on this puz-
zling problem to Civil Aeronautics
Authority, which by this time had
been authorized by Congress. but
which had not come into existence
Afrlines Having Troubles.
In the meantime an Interdepart-
mental Committee on Aviation,
which had been appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt because of some dis
satisfaction with recommendations
OF the earlier Federal Aviation Com
mission, came out strongly for the
creation of single independent
agency to take over the aviation
muddle. BY this time all of the
domestic air transport companies
were operating at deficits, and the
weaker ones were going to the wall
despite the fact the Airmail Divi-
sion of the Interstate Commerce
Commission was issuing order after

BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON,

Cancellation of all airmail con-
tracts in February. 1884, brough the
Army Air Corps into the breach to
save the Nations airmail service.
Unprepared, lacking suitable equip
ment and training, in the midst of
one of the worst spells of winter
weather in many years. young Army
pilots were impressed into duty
overnight as scheduled airline pilots
Army operation of the airmail
service Immediately porved disas-
trous and costly. Army pilots
crashed and died in storm and snow
because they lacked proper navi-
gational equipment and training for
the highly specialized business of
scheduled air transport flying and
because they were using Army COM
bat airplanes, which never were de-
signed for such business. After a
short time service was suspended
completely and was resumed on a
restricted basis until June, 1894.
The domestic airlines cleaned
house. They divorced themselves
from interlocking directorates, as
was required. and dropped over
board those officials who had been
blacklisted by the Federal Govern
ment. Airlines which also had been
blacklisted for participation in the
alleged "spoils conference" were re-
organized or dropped out of the
picture in purge of all offending
elements.
Anti-M Monopoly Safeguards.
The, Watres Act of 1890 was re-
pealed. and in the Air Mail Act of
1884, which was enacted in June.
the transport companies were legal
ly separated from any connection
with aviation manufacturers. To
break possible monopolies the act
forbade interlocking directorates.
overlapping interests, mutual stock
holding and certain types of mer-
gers. Although the act was amend
ed a year later, these provisions
were retained. and the same anti
monopoly clauses wer reafIirmed in
the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1888.
With these things accomplished,
the airmail service once more was
placed on the market through the
medium of temporary contracts un-
der provisions of a postal law then
81 years old.
The Airmail Act of 1894 provided
for regulating airmail service by
making the airmail carriers subject
to control of three divisions of the
Federal Government-the Post Of
flee Department. which awarded
contracts and determined routes
and schedules; the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which fixed
rates, and the Bureau of Air Com
merce, which licensed aircraft and
personnel and operated the airways
and enforced safety regulations.
Central Authority Urged in IS.
Conditions still were not satisfac-
tory. President Roosevelt created
a Federal Aviation Commission,
which, in January. 1885, strongly
recommended that jurisdiction over
all civil aviation be vested in
single Federal body. The time was
not yet ripe for such a move, how
ever; legislative wrangles over con-
troll Of aviation continued for yet
another three years.

The uniformed pilots. representing
approximately $500 airline pilots on
the domestic and foreign American
airlines, are opposed unanimously tc
the reorganization plan on the
ground it would represent a step
backward in civil aviation control
and might tend to lower safety
standards which have resulted in a

Opposition Grows.
Meanwhile, opposition to the re-
organization plan continued to grow
at the Capitol. Senator McCarran.
Democrat. of Nevada. who has in
troduced a resolution to block the
plan. was expected to return to
Washington this afternoon to press
for a final show down" in the Sem
ate.
Senator Truman. Democrat. of
Missouri, yesterday asked the Sem
ate not to approve the reorganiza-
ton plan. saying its adoption would
destroy independent aviation con-
troll and place it in the Commerce
Department which made such
mess of it that it was removed from
the departments jurisdiction. The
need of aviation, Senator Truman
said, is independence from political
control"
Senator Clark, Democrat. of Mis-
souri, said that conditions under the
administration of air commerce by
the Commerce Department were
''disgraceful He pointed out that
the death of Senator Cutting of New
Mexico IN an airplane crash had
speeded enactment of legislation for
an independent control of air COM
merce.
Connally Defends Plan.
Senator Connally. Democrat, of
Texas, however, raised one of the
first voices in defense of the reor-
sanization proposal. saying that it
was merely transfer of functions,
to be controlled by the same men
who now control the c. A. A. and the
Air Safety Board.
David L. Behncke. president of
the National Air Line Pilots Asso-
citation. arrived in Washington from
Chicago to lead the pilots fight
against the reorganization plan. He
expressed confidence that sufficient
opposition was being developed in
the House to stop the transfer and
expressed the hope that a majority
of the Senate also would vote in
opposition when the plan is
called up.
