BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON.

Five years of political wrangling
and inefficiency in the Bureau of
Air Commerce of the Commerce De-
partment, accompanied by impaired
morale, accidents and financial
losses on the part of the domestic
air transport lines. were brought to
a close in August, 1898, when the
Civic Aeronautics Act became effec-
tive, creating the independent Civil
Aeronautics Authority and the
equally independent Air Safety
Board.
The Civil Aeronautics Act of 1898
was the result of nearly four years
of painstaking deliberation by con-
gressional committees, the aviation
industry and others interested in
cleaning up the mess into which
American aviation had fallen. 1t is
not often that any legislation
receives such careful consideration
or that legislation is drawn with
such definite ends in view.
Pressure and Investigations.
1t must be remembered that
throughout this period, civil aviation
was a thorn in the side of Congress.
Because of the unhappy state of
affairs ip the Bureau of Air Com
merce and the Commerce Depart
ment and the unsettled state of the
industry which ensued, Congress
ordered one investigation after an
other. Members Of Congress who
i,,t ,tria i'm, 70 7
tiers at all were harassed and worn
by pressure from the conflicting
aviation camps. The net result was
a determination on the part OF all
interested parties to end once and
for all through the medium OF the
new Civil Aeronautics Act the evils
and ills of civil aviation.
One of the greatest evils which
cried for remedy was the accident
toll which marred the operation OF
domestic air transportation and in
jured public confidence in the new
transportation medium. Accidents
were investigated by the Bureau
of Air Commerce, which also pro-
vided aids to air navigation along
under which operations were con-
Quoted. There were charges that
airline pilots involved in accidents
were being made scapegoats for
shortcomings of the Bureau of Air
Commerce. Whether true or not,
these charges were exceedingly
harmful In several instances: they
created Incidents so bitter that
congressional probes resulted
Independent for Impartiality.
One of the primary aims of sup
porters of the new legislation was
to create an accident investigating
body which would be entirely in
dependent of the Federal regulatory
and airways maintenance organiza-
ton Only in this way. it was felt,
could an honest. impartial investi-
CATION be had which would produce
results which would be of service
In eliminating future accidents.
Another primary aim was to
divorce the new agency from
politics and to make it a career"
organization, to which appointments
would be made on a basis of ex-
perience and ability: in which jobs
would not be endangered by political
upheavals, and in which there
would be a continuity of policy and
personnel.
Events leading up to framing of
the new legislation had demon
strated clearly the need for one
central, non-political authority to
take over the diverse and frequently
conflicting activities of the Com
merce Department, Post Office De-
partment and Interstate Commerce
Commission.
President Roosevelt. however, had
recommended that the Interstate

Commerce Commission be given
power to regulate air carriers.
There was serious disagreement
among the Federal departments over
this proposal, and the plan was side
tracked eventually in favor of the
proposed new Authority. /.
The declaration of Congressional
policy indicated that the new au-
thority was expected to regulate the
aeronautics industry in the public
interest, taking into consideration
the needs of the industry and the
best interests Of the people of the
United States
The act created five-member
authority as an independent agency
responsible only to Congress. This
authority exercises quasi-legislative
and quasi judicial functions created
under the act. Within the author
lty, the Office of administrator was
created to handle the executive
functions created by the act. Inde-
pendent of the authority and the
administrator is a three-man Air
Safety Board, created to investigate

LABOR CONFIDENT
AS 1910 BEGINS

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-Labor
progress in the last year and setbacks
for anti-democratic activities here
strengthen American labor's conf
dence in the future of the United
States, President William Green of
the American Federation of Labor
said in New Years statement.
eve will endeavor," President Green
declared, 'to consolidate the gains
made during 1889 and press forward
for the realization of higher achieve
ments in the coming decade through
collective bargaining, legislation and
education. Labor will continue it's
organizing campaign with increasing
aggressiveness and work for the es-
tablishment of higher wages, shorter
hours, improved conditions of employ
ment, wider spread of employment
and industrial peace and security"
Traitors on Run"
After pointing out that year ago,
disciples of Communism, Nazism and
Fascism "swarmed througs the land,
poisoning the minds of our people
against the principles of democracy"
the A. F. of L. head continued:
To-day these traitors are on the
run. Events which have taken place
in Europe have exposed the hypoc-
risy and the sham idealism of their
propaganda.
eve can take pride in the fact that
the American Federation of Labor has
steadfastly and consistently resisted
and combatted all anti-democratic
movements. Now, armed with re-
newed confidence in our form of gov
ernment, we are determined to remain
at peace with the world"
MAKE Democracy Work"
President Green warned that war
business will not solve our economic
difficulties, the chief of which he said
is unemployment.
"a democracy" he added, loves an
obligation to its people to provide op-
portunities to earn a livelihood. Let
US make democracy work. Let the
government, industry, organized labor
and the farmer unite on a program
during 1910 to provide jobs for the
nine million now idle through no fault
of their own"

New Unemployment Benefit
Plan Proposed By Atkinson
AS Substitute For ''Rule 8
Administrator Submits Formula Board of Review for
ActOn-AtkinsOn Declares New Plan Would Be Easily
Understood by Worker and Employer Alike.

"The Bureau of Unemployment
compensation, Administrator Atkin-
on's letter stated, "has made every
easonable effort to make the present
enefit formula work. Instead, be-
ause it offers alternative formulas,
has given rise to bitter contests
between employers and employees, has
lot worked with equity as between
claimants, and has caused contribut-
ng employers and benefit recipients
to challenge the bureaus decisions
and it's administration"
"The formula which | am propos-
ing, on which the concurrence of the
Board of Review is requested, would
be easily understood by worker and
employer alike.
"There would be no alternative
method of calculating benefits as a
source of controversy.
"It would apply with complete
equity to all claimants, whether they
were paid on salary, by the day, by
the hour, or on piece rate when en-
ployed."
eleven months experience shows
Ohio's average weekly unemployment
benefit payment to be $10.25. Ohio
ranks fourth among the states in av-
erage annual wages paid her workers.
She stands eighteenth in the average
amount of benefits paid to insured un-
employed benefciaries.
''The formula now being proposed,
according to bureau estimates, would
increase the average Ohio weekly
benefit amount to $11.50, and place
Ohio well up among the first 10 states,
where | am sure her citizens want
her to be-"
Administrator Atkinson also pointed
out to the board that Ohio is paying
out $25 100000 in benefits through
1889, and that the application of the
proposed new formula would have re-
suited in a payment of $30,000,O00 in
benefits.
"The balance in the Ohio trust fund
stands at $135, 100000" the admin
istrator said, "an adequate reserve to
meet a three-year drain under any
thing resembling normal conditions
The Ohio law clearly gives the ad-
ministrator power to reduce benefits
during a period of severe drain on
the fund. Therefore an increase in
the benefit amount will not endanger
the fund"
