Wafthlngton, Nov. . Appinl of
the theory of n tonsolidallon of the air,
sendees of the Rcivcrnml-nt under u
separate department or commission is
contained In the report of n spcclnl army
board appointed by he War Depart
ment to consider pending bills to thnt
nd- ....
The report was transmitted toriuj to
Chnirmnn Wndsworth. of the Senate
militarv committee hv Secretary linker,
.mho disnRreed with the board's principal
tecommeudatlons. ,
The board was composed of Major
General Mennhcr. director of urniy nir
service; Major CJenernl Coe. chief of
, coast artlllerj ; Mnjor CJenernl Ilium,
chief of the training section, general
staff, and Major Cicnernl Snow, chief
of field artillery.
It recommended thnt Congress enact
nn aviation policy based cither on a
ten-year program witty large nnnunl
appropriations guaranteed to stimulntc
loniniereial aeronautics, or make ap
propriations for nlrcraft development by
tlic rostofBce, AVnr and Navy Departments.
If the former policj is adopted the
board recommended that 11 separate de
partment of aeronautics be created: if
the latter.' that a commission under the
director of aeronautics reporting directlj
to the President be formed to co-ordinate
the work.
The board held that the nrmv and
navy should retain the essential ele
ments of their oigatii7ntions and should
have control over all military nnd naval
air forces that might be provided. It
urged also, that the nrmj nviatlon serv
ice "should be kept on nn ecpinl foot
ing w ith the infantry, cavalry nnd other
arms, with u permanent personnel."
The board disapproved of government
monopoly of nlrcraft construction nnd
raid wartime air fleets of all countries
mrsl be produced nfter war begins, re
quiring stimulation of commercial aero
nautics. -
"Under present conditions," it said,
"the only cffectivei stimulnnt is gov
ernment nssistnntc in large annual ap
propriations guaranteed for a period of
n considerable number of jears, until
commercial aeronautics enn stnnd ns a
cliviilcnd-pa Ing business,"
An annual budget of $300,000,000 for
ter years was suggested and the report
added that a single government agency
should be, responsible for the procure
ment of nil aircraft and of nil devel
opment work. It is emphatic in declar
ing against creation of "any military
air force independent of army or navy
control.''
Trade Union Politics
Cause of Mine Strike
Continued From race One
of America must father the unholy off
spring. It is n long story with many remincn
tions, but this unprecedented strike
movement Is the outcome of a fight that
Involves the presidency of the United
Mjne Workers between Frank Fnrring
ston, of Illinois, nn Englishman by birth,
and John Ij. Lewis, present acting
president. Fnrrington wanted to be the
next national president of the mine
"workers. Lewis was and is his leading
opponent.
To discountenance Lewis, Fnirington
issued a circular saying that the miners
should have n five-day week with six
hours as a day's work. He believed)
evidently that Lewis would 'Iny down
on the proposition. Instead Lewis ac
cepted the gage of battle, adopted the
Farrington suggestion, tacked on nn ad
ditional demand for a 00 per' cent in
crease in wages and went to the bat.
He won out. This is the inside of the
the cause of unionism to nil extent that
would reciuire .vears for its recovery.
There is a confident feeling among
the operators whom I have met and
tnlkcd with In the Pittsburgh district
thnt the strike will be tji short dura
tion. They base their belief on re
ports thnt come to them from their
"scouts," foremen, nnd lojnl employes.
These bring them statements that the
miners arc in a more or less truculent
mood toward their local union leaders.
The rank nnd file were not permitted to
vote on the advisability of calling tne
strike. ""They have been making money
to nn extent unknown before dining the
Inst .venr. and they chafe at this en
forced idleness, while the nonunion
.miners nre adding to the size of their
bank accounts.
Miners' having Deposits
I have had the opportunity within
the last twenty-four hours of examining
the comparative figures of 11 number of
banks and trust companies in the matter
of miner's' savings. They nre banking
institutions in the henrt of the bitu
minous districts. The figures of miners'
snvings accounts for 1019, ns compared
with those of lOlti, nre a revelation.
In some icpoits the savings deposits
have increased M0 per cent. One bank
in the Monongnholn valley shows an in
crease from $1,000,000 in lOlfi to
$3,000,000 nnd over in 1010. And this
In addition to hundreds of thousands of
dollars that the banks report hnvc been
sent out of the country to Italy. Hun
gary, Croatia, and the other Slav
states.
As a matter of fact coal miners are
not a very thrifty and saving class ot
workers. This showinc'of their bank
savings, however, does not include the
Libcrtv bonds owned by them, and they
were liberal purchasers ot bonds dur
ing the war, according to mine officials
and operators.
To many miners this strike pciiod
comes as a holiday. Entering the
Union Station this morninc I met n
paity of them, twentv or so, just off
the train and in the city for a holi
day. Uvcry one, except 11 couple of old
chaps, was well dressed and wore n
linen collar. There wasn't n celluloid

wore fashionable ties. Perhaps half of
them were Bmoking what appeared to
be good cigars. At least the size of the
band which is often a gaudv and
ornamental lie suggested quality.
Many Own Automobiles
All this is in line with a statement
from the vice president of it coal cor
poration, who resides In Philadelphia,
that the age-old smoKe 01 the coal
miners, the Pittsburgh "stogie" is a
drug on tho market in mining towns.
The men say they want "good" cigars.
This same gentleman informed me that
the mine store at his operation is com
polled to enrry u line of automobile.
acccsorics because of the number of
enrs owned by the men in the mines.
One man In every i or seven owned
an nutomobile.
An unanswered question, on the
other side, is: Whnt is the feeling of
mine owners when they see their own
mines closed tight nnd other operators
running full speed nhcad with non
union labor and taking the cream of
the business at this time?
