PART OF BAILWAY
SALARYPROGEAM
; Washington, May 9. In' recom
mending wage increases of $300,000,
000 annually for all railway employes
whose wages were less than $250 a
month in December, 191 S, the Railway
Wag commission made several far

Mr. McAdoo is expected to an

are indications that he will not ac
cept them in their entirety.
Some union officials already have ex
pressed dissatisfaction with the
amounts recommended for the men of
their organizations, the. increases
ringing from 43 per tent downward
to 4.6 per cent, the highest paid men
receiving the lowest increases and the
Average being 15.021 per cent advance
over the 1917 pay rdll.
' Increases allowed employes in train
and engine service, most of whom are
members of the four leading railway
brotherhoods, it developed today, are
as follows:
Freight engineers 15 per cent; fire
men and helpers, 34 per cent; freight
conductors, 20 per cent; freight brake
men and flagmen 39 per cent; pas
senger engineers, U per cent; pas

AIR PRODUCTION
MONOPOLIZED BY
FEW MENCIIARGE
Profiteering Without Limit
Possible Under Existing Con-
trol, Declares Thomas
of Colorado.
..Washington, May 9.-While the De
partment of Justice was starting to.
day its investigation of aircraft pro
duction, Senator Chamberlain of Ore
gon, chairman of the senate military
committee, opened the way for his
committee investigation by offering a
resolution authorizing it. The resolu
tion will be taken up tomorrow.
..Shary criticism of delay in produc
tion was heard again in the senate,
Senator Thomas of Colorsdo, a dem
ocratic member of the military com
mittec, declaring there was evidence
that monopoly of production had been
planned.
"CLOSE CONTROL."
"Close control" of airpjane produc
tion is fiad, Senator Thomas asserted,
through the organization known as
the Manufacturers' Aircraft associa
tion, which controls basic aircraft pat
ers and restricted production under
a "cross-licensing" agreement The
agreement, he regretted, had the ap.
proval of the aviation authorities and
the attorney general. .
Patent control, Senator Thomas
indicated, la one of the features of
the aviation situation the military
committee will investigate.
DEPLORES U; S. LAXITY.
Senator Thomas told the senate he
deplored failure of the government to
purchase or commandeer the airplane
patents, controlled principally, he
said, by the Curtiss, Wright, Burgess
and Wright-Martin interests. Through
the Manufacturers' Aircraft associa
tion, he said, patentees of improve
ments cannot produce aircraft con
taining their improvements without
obtaining licenses from the controlling
interests. ,
"Did the association . intend to
monjpolize production and prevent
the government from having others
mak9 it airplanes?'' Senator King of
Utah asked. t
Designed for Monopoly.
"Not in expresi terms, but my un
derstanding of the agreement is that
It operates that way " Senator Thomas
replied.' "I cannot escape the con
viction but that it was designed for
ttut purpose."
Senator King -said he understood
Howard E, Cpffin,' former head of
the aircraft production board, was
an honorary member of the associa
tion. ;
In his opinion the agreement
creates "a gigantic monopoly," Sena
tor Thomas said.
"But for the emergency due to the
war," he continued, "this contract
never would have passed the scrutiny
of the Department of Justice." '
Profiteering without a limit, he as
serted, is possible under the arrange
ment. "This agreement is undemocratic
and un-American," Concluded Senator
Thomas, "and should be annulled
without further delay' .
