The Nations miners, rubber

labor points out. In steel, 80 per

manufacturers go ahead with
little interference. In the case
of the Comet, however, De

lines, says the industry is not
looking to Congress for money
. to develop jet transport. He
does feel, however, that Con-
gress should appropriate money
to allow the Civil Aeronautics
Administration to study the op-
erations of passenger Jets in
the traffic pattern Of the coun-
try.
About two years ago, Con-
gress turned down a proposal
for developing jet transports in
the United States with Federal
funds, but backed one which
would pay for testing new mod
els of both jets and turboprops.
A turboprop engine is almost
the same as a turbojet, which
powers combat planes, except
that its power is harnessed to
a propeller.
American Program
What, then. are the American
airlines doing about it?
First, there is general agree
ment that jets like the Comet
will not come to the United
States overnight. Secondly, the
American airlines are studying
the matter thoroughly. There
have been meetings of engineer
ing groups to study the probable
type of jet transport which will
be best suited to this country's

airlines. The carriers have been
in consultation with manufac-
turers like Lockheed, Boeing and
Douglas. They are studying the
operational characteristics of a
jet transport. and the method Of
handling this type Of plane in
the heavy traffic which now pre-
walls. These problems will be
many.
Basically, four factors are
holding up jet transport devel-
opment in the United States.
For one. thing. Americas effort
to rearm itself and the coun-
tries of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization has sharply
reduced the availability of COM
mercial aircraft materials, mas
much as military needs have to
come first. The second point Is

with a pay raise for the steel
workers.
Has the union shop promoted
better employer union rela-
tions?
Labor says, yes. The provision
has put labor in a consolidated
position and has promoted har-
mony, union leaders say. Man
agement now is able to take its
grievances against workers to a
responsible group-the union
shop officers.
Some segments Of manage
ment seem to agree. But there
is no widespread industry ap-
proval of the union shop. United
States Chamber of Commerce
sources, while not taking a posi-
tive stand, point to the miners
Union. John L. Lewis workers
are 100 per cent union shop,
they say. Has such organiza-
ton promoted greater har-
mony? Has it reduced strikes?
The UNIV has remained omi-
nously silent during the cur

proximately a million non-op-
Grating railroad workers. At
least 81 railroads have signed
union-shop contracts, but most
carriers have resisted-so far.
This union shop dispute is
basically the old, old struggle
for power. Unions have less of
it under a non-union shop. But
they are encouraged by what
looks like a developing ma
tional pattern to accept the
union shop. Management thinks
the unions have enough power
already, and, furthermore, re-
sents what looks to it like Gov

unions side. In spite of the
growing odds against it, man

and research is conservatively
estimated at between SIS million
and $40 million. Hardly a single
manufacturer would want to
take a chance on a sum like
this without Government aid, for
the model could easily prove to
be as much a failure as a sue
cess in early test flights. The
Comet underwent three years of
such tests.

Labor and management seem
to be in accord on at least one
point in the hydra headed steel
dispute. Both sides are using
the same adjective in describing
the others stand on the union
shop.
"Undemocratic" is the word.
Labor says it is undemocratic
t. permit a handful Of nom
union workers to enjoy union
gained pay raises without pay
ing their share of the cost.
Free riders" are unfair, labor
says.
On industry's side Of the
street. it's wrong to force a
worker into q union. Manage
ment says each man should
have the right to be or not to be
a union member.
ComoufIoee?
Under the Wage Sterilization
Boards recommendations, the
union shop would be granted
along with the bitterly disputed
pay increase. Recently. the shop
issue has almost overshadowed
the wage boost in arguments
over President Truman's seizure.
Labor sources view this as a
camouf1age by industry. Union
men believe the steel companies
still are primarily worried by

A new era in aviation history
will be launched Friday when
the worlds first pure-jet trans
port inaugurateS regular
schedule between London, Eng
land. and johannesburg, South
Africa.
This flight by the De Havilland
Comet, operated by British Over
seas Airways Corp, is jolting
United States airlines into the
realization that sooner or later
they will have to acquire jet
transports if they are to meet
competition. For one thing, as
BOAC chairman Sir Miles
Thomas puts it. planes with the
terrific speed of the Comet will
halve the size Of the world"
The American airlines have
not been caught mapping alto
gether, however. For some time
they have been talking about
the transition from the stand
ard piston-engined transport to
either turboprops or pure jets.
l0-Hour Sowing
The $1,25O.OO0 Comet will
cover the 6.724-mile journey with
stops at Rome. Italy; Beirut,
Lebanon; Khartoum, Anglo
Egyptian Sudan: Entebbe,
Uganda. and Livingstone, North
ern Rhodesia. Actual flying
time will only be 18 hours and
40 minutes as against about 28h2
hours by regular transport. The
first northbound Comet service
will follow on Monday. One
BOAC Comet service per week
will be operated throughout May,
leaving London on Fridays and
Johannesburg on Mondays. In
June the frequency will be in
creased to three weekly, subject
to delivery of new planes.
Hitting much closer to home
and the equanimity of United
States carriers is the probability
also that BOAC eventually will
start a New York-to-Nassau run
via Comet. This would be in
preference to a New York-to-
Bermuda run because Bermuda,
being only about TOO miles from
New York, is considered too near
to be an economical jet flight.
Nassau, however, being about
1.40O miles form New York, fits
nicely into the range OF the first
Comets which are being pro-
duced.
: The trail-blazer on the Afri-
can run has a speed Of $50 to
400 miles an hour. It will carry
SO passengers, along with cargo
and mail. Its four Ghost en-
gines give it a 1,500-mile range.
BOAC has 20 Comets on order.
The last II will carry 48 passen-
gers. They will be equipped
with Rolls Royce Avon engines,
with a speed of about 500 miles
an hour and a longer range.
These will fly across the Allan
tic, from London to New York,
perhaps within the next year
or so. That is when the United
States airlines, especially those
with transatlantic runs, will
see the heavy competition.
And so, almost II years to the

Frank Whittle few successfully
