Farming of
Rail Work
Prohibited
Contracting Slop Repairs to
Outline Firm Held Viola
tion of Transportation
Act by Labor Board.
Other Cases Pending
Chicago. May 10. Contracting
thop repair work to outside firmi by
a, railroad company declared a
violation of the transportation act,
and contract roviioni conflicting
with the wage and working rulr
laid down by the United States rail
road labor board were branded i I le
ft al in a decision handed down by
Uie board today. The decision was
characterized by the board at the
mot important it has rendered tince
its establishment.
The decision, which is the first of a
series of judgments to be handed
down on disputes over "farming
out" railroad labor, was made in the
controversy between the union shop
crafts and the Indiana Harbor Belt
railroad. The board declared its
pronouncement "went to the vitals of
the transportation act."
"No more important dispute," the
decision added, "has ever come be
fore this board for adjudication."
While the decision applied only to
the one toad, which last September
contracted its repair work to the
Burnham Car Repair company, the
general principles established will
govern all subsequent decisions.
At the present time various roads
have contracted to independent com
panies" the work of six differeuc
classes of employes, shopmen, main
tenance of way laborers, clerks, fire
men and oilers, hostelers and signal
menand the board declared that if
one class of employes could be re
moved from jurisdiction under the
transportation act, "there is no sound
reason why each and every realroad
employe in the United States can
not be given like treatment."
Objects to Act
. "The object og the transportation
act was to prevent interruption of
traffic growing out of disputes be
tween carriers and their employes,"
he decision said. "Such controver
sies had. for years, periodically har
rassed the public, blocked commerce,
stagnated business, destroyed prop
erty values and visited great incon
venience and suffering upon millions
of people.
Many Cases Pending.
Th sr. now 36 such cases pend
ing before the board, involving 17
railroad., and union officials have r
intimated that; WlCSS they'll
intimated that; Unless they EM B
caoe the rapid" spread of contract
ing shop - work, there would t a
flood of protests filed - before, the
board. . . '" . ' .
Under today's decision, thousands
of former railway employes now
working for contractors at wages
vcarying from the labor board scale,
re formally brought under the
board's jurisdiction. Rules varying
from those laid down by the board
are likewise, in effect, declared il
legal and the contractor's- employes
restored to the working rules pro
mulgated by th board. -

pions of the niuch-mliticd flapper
arose yesterday in the convention of
the National Hotel association. Nu
merous delegate arose and paid
tribute to the (Upper as their best
and most desirable guest.
John Burke, managing director of
the Congress hotel company, said:
"1 have only one way of judging
the flapper, and that is by tlx condi
tion in which she leaves her room. A
great many women leave their apart
mrnts in anything but a tidy condi
tion. Not to the flapper. She it'
neatness personified. The Congress
hotel has yet to have itt first dis
agreeable exprrience with a flapper."
Herman Mark, president of the
Chicago Hotel Men's association and
proprietor of the Lexington hotel,
said a number of flappers reside, at
his hotel and they were the most
fastidious of guests; always neatly
dressed, extremely clean in habits
and manner, strictly honest and in
every way desirable guests.
R. E. Follow and I'ercy Tyrrell,
Texas hotel men, championed the
flapper. "No matter what ele they
may say about her," said Mr. Tyrrell,
"she is educated and fastidious. We
have an abundance of then in the

Resignation of
Uni Professors
.
May Aid School
Friends of Chancellor Avery
Predict Internal Politics
Which Have Disturbed
Institution Will End.
Lincoln, May 10. (Special.)
Resignation of certain state univer
sity professors, announced early this
week, is not bringing unalloyed grief
to university heads, who profess to
see in the situation the end of a
period of internal politics which has
disturbed the institution for some
time.
Friends of Chancellor Samuel
Avery assert that much of the
criticism of the chancellor, particul
arly that charinir vacillai on and
lack of definite program, has been
due to an effort to gain his dis
placement. , Dean Philo M. Buck of
the college of arts and sciences, is
listed as the man in whose behalf
these plans were laid, although Dean
Buck disclaims any sueh purpose and
is said to have been the beneficiary
rather' than the leading spirit of the
movement i-i.--.-'
For at least four years there has
been a feeling among many alumni
and .others that the . university ad
ministration lacked strength of de
cision. This was an underground
issue in at least two regent elections,
where mea were candidates who ex
pressed the belief that there should be
a new chancellor. When some of
these were elected, however, they
were taken into the chancellor's
camp after actual service on the
board and no longer aggressively.

The recent faculty changes are
said . to have removed influences
which were antagonistic to Chancel
lor Avery and to pave the way for
smoother working relations within
the faculty. If a change is made in
the general administration, 'it must
now come, those in touch declare,
from outside pressure and not from
anything inaugurated within the uni
versity. " '

Washington, May 10, (Special
Omaha will become a great tenter of
aerial transportation, if plans ' now
under consideration by the pott office
department, the war and navy de
patments and other branches of the
government service and private en
terprise materialize. The central lo
cation of Omaha Is expected to bring
this about just as it has made 'It a
great railroad center.
Awakened to the importance of
the air service as the possible first
line of national defense, brought
about by development in aircraft in
foreign countries as well as in the
United States, every effort' of the
government is being directed now to
develop the commercial phase of the
service of the air, hi order to furnish
a nucleus for an armed air, service
in the event of war. ,
Omaha to b Center , .
The immediate plans on foot which
have Omaha under consideration in
volve further development of the
transcontinental air service with
Omaha continuing as one of the im
portant legs of the journey. If is
planned, alco, to make Omaha the
future center of a network of middle
western transportation of mail, com
merce and passengers. Not only is
it planned to develop the transcon
tinental feature of the air service,
but men with vision are looking for
ward to the near future, -when a
round-the-world" service will be es
tablished, which will make the in
terior cities of the United States
virtual seaports, as near Europe by
air as are the present coast cities of
today by steam
Enlargement of the present trans
continental postal service has been
precipitated by action of the commer
cial clubs of Chicago which waited
upon the post office department and
the war and navy departments to
day with a proposition to install two
of .the finest landing fields in the
world in Chicago, which will be
lighted at night, according to the
directions of the war and navy de
partments. .
Project Is Favored.',
. The Postoffice , department is in
hearty sympathy with the project
and approvals of it -has- been ex.
pressed by "thfe" heads 6r the War
and Navy departments. . . !
Establishment of. night landing
fields in New York, Chicago,, Omaha
and other points would enable the
Postoffice department to carry out
the plan which it has in mind to send
out two ships a day from New York
wesward and from San Francisco
eastward. One relay of ships would
fly by day and the other by night.
Establishment of this service .orob-
ably would require action by local
communities in lighting these land
ing fields at night. By this plan, a
night ship would go out ' of New
York for Chicago and Chicago-to
Omaha each day.
The successful carrying out of
this plan will necessitate the adoption-by
the house of the $1,900,000
appropriation for aerial mail serv
