NADERS PROFUSE IN PRAISE
;Tet o Cablegram Sent
to British Airmen
'The Aero Club of Pennsylvania
In the interests of the members of
the club and tho citizens of Philndel
rphiVpcnds to tbc aviators congratu
lations on the accomplishment of
the greatest event of human flight
yet, recorded.
"JOSEPH A. STEINMHTZ."
This cablegram was sent today to
Alcock, in token of Philadelphia's
tecognltton of his achievement as
airpionecr as well as by way of
greeting from flic Aero Club.
A cablegram of praise and congratu
lations for their transatlantic flight v. as
sent to Cantalu .Taelc Alcock and
Lieutenant John Addison Brown in i
London today by the Aero Club of
London by the Aero Club of Pennsyl
vania, voicing the sentiments of the club
and the citizens of Philadelphia.
It was signed by Joseph A. Steln
mctz, president of the club.
Enthusiastic acclamation of the re
markable flight was given by all of the
aviation followers of thia city, and all
.were delighted nt the success of Al
cock and Brown. '
Colonel Robert V. Glendinning, who
was in command of an American avia
tion center in England during the war,
bald that he considered it one of the
greatest feats of the age. He said that
the difficulties of the 'flight were grcntl;
enhanced by the fact that the whole
distance was made over water, which
Js more difficult than flying over land.
"""Itte n,ot so much now as to whether
tho Atlantic Ocean can be crossed, but.
rather how quickly can it be done. It's
ny belief that within a year n liftccn
nour schedule will be in vogue." '
This was the comment today of Lieu
tenant S. Radcliffc Dodge, of the Brit
ish Royal Flying Corps, who was at the
Kt -Tnmcs Hotel nrior to beginning a
$r tour of American aviation camps in this
country.
"From a spectacular standpoint, the
trip made by Alcock and his associates
was a remarkable achicvenvnt. We in
flrt iionvjno Iinnovpr nnfilpr nrithtnir
?r very remarkable these days. We have
uccn so uvi'uaiumeu iu witnessing tilings
happening over night that ten years ago
were, not dreamed of, that it becomes
really n matter of course when any new
Idea is developed that, the layman, looks
startling.
"Naturally, I'm glad thet English
men flew first in a direct line across the
The Americans made a great
Jrip. and I was delighted when they
landed safely. I will not comment on
Hawker's trip. I will say it is my
belle that across-the-ocean traffic will
eventually be as regular as steamship
sailings; that the trip will be made
quicker that Alcock made It, and that
soon, mind you, the American newspa
pers will have to develop a new depart
ment of news, that of 'movements of
ocean fliers.' "
Would Like to try Flight
"I should love to undertake a trans
atlantic flight myself." Colonel Glen
dinning said, "but for the present I
can't do anything in the flying game.
I've been away from business so long
(I've got to get back for a while."
,, Commander Coburn, director of the
naval aircraft factory at League Island,
predicted that laud machines so power
ful that no ordinary mishap can force
them to descend will be crossing the At
lantic with passengers within the next
few years.
"Good boy," said the commander,
when told of Cantain Alcock's success.
"that's the best news I've heard for
a long time. It is wonderful."

Continued From Face One
ployes, asked that the report of the
committee which went to Washington
be laid on the table until its scope was
officially assured. Mr. Burleson's order
is coulinued in this report.
"This conversion of Mr. Burleson to
collective bargaining does not better the
situation of the postal employes," he
said, "a'nd it must be remembered that
he will have the wiremen under him

Mr. Gompers, however, put the
original motion, as there had been no
second of the motion to table, and the
report was adopted.
Report Hailed as Victory
The delegates applauded the report
when it was read by Chairman Mc
Carthy and several speakers pronounced
it a grent victory for organizedMnbor.
As Mr. McCarthy reported, "We se
cured all we went after, all the Elec

nnd a complete reversal of opinion by

postmaster general, after the confer
ence with' the special committee, was
made public in Washington Saturday

In brief, it rescindl the order to dis
charge strikers, provides for general
bargaining, and gives the electrical and
telephone operators the right to organ

doubt whether the new ruling would be
made applicable to all classes of workers

FOES TERM LEAGUE
Covenant Has No Place
in
Treaty of Peace, Organized
Opponents Declare
ASK THOROUGH REVISION
Washington, June 10. Immediately
following the publication In the United
States of the text of the proposed pence
treaty containing the league of na
tions cocnnnt, the League for the
Preservation of American Independence,
which is opposing the covenant, an
nounced its new declaration of pYln
ciplep. In giving out the principles George
Wharton Pepper, of Philadelphia, vice
president of the Independence League,
pointed out that the covenant gives.no
recognition to the Monroe Doctrine;
neither is there any reservation in it
by which the 1'nited States may decide
what immigration we shall sanction and
what we shall exclude.
The new declaration of principles
follows in part :
"We insWt thnt all attempts to inter
weave the league of nations covenant
with the treaty of peace should be
resisted; that the enrly return of our
boys should be made possible by prompt
action upon the troat.i ; nml that the
proposed covennnt of the league of na
tions, as a separate proposition, should
then be considered by the Senate with
due deliberation and care and with
reasonnbld opportunity for needed'
amendment.
The people of the United States
must do some independent thinking on
tills subject or forfeit their right to call
this government a democracy.
' In the interest of woild peace and
of nny international arrangement thnt
would tend to promote it we are op
posed to the covennnt of the league as
reported from Paris because:
"Its framers have definitely and de
cisively rejected every one of the six
itnl and constructive amendments re
cently proposed by Senator Root.
"The essentinl feature of the
amended covenant is nn Intel national
voting trust of nine nations.
"Without first requiring nations to
commit themselves to n definite limita
tion of armaments, the amended cove
nant binds us to protect distant na
tions from aggression and will force
us, in the event of trouble between nny
two league members, cither to default
on our promise ns the price of peace or
to send our boys to fight overseas
against undiminished military forces
and without refcrcrice to our convic
tious respecting the merits of the
quarrel.
The delegation ot, powers to the In
ternational Council is such as may nt
any time force us into a war between
other nations without even the right
on our part to determine on which side
we shall fight.

tional differences before tliey have!
leached the acute stage.
"If the constitution is not intended
by its framers to mean what fair inter
pretation finds in it, then its ambiguity,
vagueness and uncertainty are such as
to require its thorough reconstruction or
prompt rejection."
EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
DEFENDED BY MAYOR
Question of Religion Asked of
Soldiers, but Not Insisted
Upon, Smith Declares
Mayor Smith today denied a charge of
religious prejudice in the operation of
the Mayor's employment agency for dis
charged service men. He explained why
tlic question of religion was asked, but'
not insisted upon, in application enrds.
The Major's statement was a reply
to remarks attributed to John H. O'Gor-
inan, locnl director of the Catholic War
Council Employment Bureau, made yes
terday in Cathedral Hall before the
Holy Name Society.
"The newspapers of today," the
statement proceeds," announce that
John II. O'Gorman, local director of
the Catholic War Council Employment
Bureau, publicly criticized the Mayor's
employment bureau, which is operated
in the interests of soldiers, sailors and
marines.
"Mr. O'Gorman is credited with
stating: '.Mayor Smith's bureau is the
only place of the kind in the city where
a discharged man is asked as soon ns
he enters to what church he belongs.'
"In the first place, I personally pre
pared the form nnd assume full respon
sibility for what It contains. AVe do
not ask any man to which church he
belongs. Religion is mentioned in this
way : The first line leaves room for the
nnme and address of thc'applicant arid
the second has spaces left: for filling iu
the following information: Age, color,
birthplace, religion and race.
"We do not insist oh the question re-
Kurnng religion Doing answered. nnl
our cards show that a large number of
applicants nave not mentioned religion,
"There is absolutely no discrimina
tion by the exchange in favor of or
against any man on account of religion.
It has happened, however, that we have
had applications from employers specifi
cally asking for Catholics, Protestants
or Hebrews."

and Leaves Involuntary Assailant Heartbroken
Seventeen-ycai-old Otto Borngesser,
of GR02 Wyalusing avenue, shot his sis
ter, Marie, aged twenty-three, late lnt
night nt their home, mistaking her for
a burglar.
Miss Borngesser is in n serious condi

the result of his Rater's Injuries.
Heartbroken with grief over his act,
the lnd told the police tlmt numerous
robberies had been committed in the
neighborhood of his home, nnd he was
constantly on the watch for burglars.
Shortly after he line! retired last nlglit
he heard a noise downstairs ns though
pome one was stealthily walking along
the hnllwav. Grabbing n rifle of twen-tv-two
calibre he walked to th head
of the stairway and peered through the
darkness. He feared thnt if he turned
en the light the burglnr would fire and
kill him.
Hears Sister's Scream
Bv the light of n street lamp he snw
a dark form moving toward th" parlor
door. The boy took aim and fired. A
second later he was startled to hear
his sister scream as she fell to the

best to alleviate the sufloiing of Miss
Borngesser nnd summoned the nmbu

Borngesser remained up late for an
other sister who was returning home
from New York.
The boy asked his sister's lorgiveness.

said, and then became unconscious.

Dv a Staff Correspondent
Hamsburg, June 10. A resolution
to ratify the federal suffrage amend
ment may be reported out of the Senate
judiciary general committee tonight or

in the past have been opposed to suf
frage, have virtually determined not to

Mexican Consul Here Says Revolt
Will NotCause Trouble With U. S.
"Villa's revolution is not to be taken
seriously and it can not be successful.
Tlic American invasion will not cause
trouble between Hexieo and the United
States, because tlie legitimate Mexican
Government is entirely out of sym
pathy'with the Villistas."
This 'is the opinion of Dr. Tomas Q.
Pellicer, Mexican consul here. He was
commenting on the reported fighting on
the border between the Villistas and the
American troops.
"Such uprisings of bandits occur nt
intervals and have no political signifi
cance," said Doctor Pellicer. "Villa's
uprisings are quite similar to those of
General Illanquet and Felix Diaz. Such
imlurectlons are too much burdened
with degeneracy and crime and brutal
ity nnd general public disapproval to
succeed.
"Villa is like n race horse that Is
carrying too much weight."

IS EFFECTIVE TODAY
Additional Charges fan Bell
Service, WilUBe Made on
Bills Rendered July 1 -
OUTRAGE, SAYjS SCHAFFER
An increase of 30 per cent in tele
phone rates of the Bell Company' went
Into effect In Pennsylvania today.
The advance In cost of service will
effect all business establishments nnd
householders. Pay station rates for city
calls will not be increased.
The increase in cost of telephone serv
ice follows an order made by Postmas
ter General Burleson. An attempt to
prevent the advance In telephone rates
In Pennsylvania was made by Attorney
General William I. Schaffer, but the
Supreme Court of the United States
rendered a decision upholding the ac
tion of the postmaster general.
Ask Penrose to Aid
Mr. Schaffer has asked Senators Pen
rose and Knox to take up the fight in
Congress to sec whether the postmaster
general has the right to arbitrarily in
crease the phone rates without obtain
ing tho sanction of the Pennsylvania
Public Servico Commission.
"I regard the new schedule ns nothing
short of an outrage, said-Mr. Schaffer
today. '.'In my opinion the postmaster
general Js merely trying to make the
public pay for the inefficiency of the
governmental operation of the tele
phones."
The attorney general has niso ex
pressed the opinion that, despite clauses
In contracts which call for subscribers
paying for the cost of disconnecting
the telephones, should they care to have
them taken out, they can make the tele
phone companies bear this expense.
As It stands today it is a question
whether or not subscribers core to put
UP with the Inconvenience of doing
without the telephone connection or not.
If they choose to dispense with tho
phone, the nttorney general is ot tlic
opinion that all they will have to do la
to let the telephone company know this
and let it go ahead and remove the In
strument. On July 1 Bills '
The additional charge for telephone
service will be made on bills rendered
July 1.
Under the new rate the cost of calls
to many nenrby places has been doubled.
As nn illustration', the rate between
Philadelphia and Chester has been in'
creased from ten to twenty cents.
For tho present there will be no ad
vance in rntcs on the Kcystonedlncs, al
though It is expected it will also ad
vance its rates in the near future to
virtually the same level as that of the
Bell lines.
