Air Troffic On Its Way

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 20.-CUP) William A. M. Burden, assistant secretary of commerce, predicts that air passenger traffic will be quad- rupled within five years after the war as compared with 1941.
 Ten years after the war it may be doubled again." said Burden in the Harvard Business Review. He forecast that the entire aviation industry would employ some 346,- GOO persons in the postwar era, but he added that expansion of the industry would not be sufficient to have a really major effect on our national economy"
 Burden also predicted that the private flying market would soon equal the transport market in 1m- portance, and within ten years after the war would probably far exceed it.
 He said that reconversion need not trouble the industry since the purchase of military aircraft would not stop with the signing of the armistice unless the American pulp lie becomes utterly blind to the lessons of history" Burden de- clared that America will have an infinitely stronger air force after the war than 1t had before"

creaSing the output of shells and the brass strip which goes into the manufacture of shells.
 Steering Committee
 A special steering committee of Union representatives of each Of the maojr brass companies was ap- pointed by MT. Mankowski to work out the problem ot locating people from within the plants who would be willing to work extra hours on those jobs which are vitally con- cerned in the ammunition program and secondly, to locate people in less essential work who might come in as part-time workers so that the net effect would be increased man hours in the production of brass strip and shells. The steering com- mittee nd stewards will conduct a man-to-man survey by means of a questionnaire regarding the avail ability of employees for overtime work or part-time work, either with their present employers or other employers. The information so ob- tained will be transmitted to the Army for it's information and gulid- ance, MT. MankowSki said.
 This steering committee is com posed of Ed O'Brien of Bridgeport Brass Workers, Local 320, John Yarasivich of Jenkins Valve Local 623, John Mcdonald of Ansonia Brass Workers Local 445, Joseph Falcone of Chase Brass Workers Local 565, Peter Higgins of Torring- ton Brass Workers Local 423. Ed Birmingham of Scovill Brass Work CTS Local 569, Joseph McEvoy of Waterbury Brass Workers Local 251 and Ed Green of Bristol Brass Local 500.
 The third phase of the discussion was the hiring of Jamaicans and the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Unions realizing the need for in- creased ammunition and increased man-hours necessary for this pro duction, agreed that, where there was insufficient manpower in any area, the local unions would co- operate with management and the government in bringing in Jamai- cans to assist in the war program. Under the terms of the govern ment's agreement with the Jamai- can 1aborers, Col. Harshman pointed out that they were hired for a period of 90 days upon agree ment with the local union invilved. Any extension beyond 90 days would also be subject to the local unios agreement. It is also understood that in the event of curtailment of manpower in any area where Jama- ican labor is used, and where the local area may supply the labor, the use of Jamaican labor would then be eliminated and the govern ment would then return them to
