( 9 All-Metal Planes To Be Discarded For Mail Service Pilots on Omaha-Chicago Di vision Refuse to Fly German Junker Ships After East 1 crn Accident. v ( X All-metal German junker mono planes' have been removed from the Omaha-Chicago division of the air mail service. -. This announcement was "made yesterday by William I. Votaw. manager of the air mail station in Omaha. The planes have 'been succeeded by the De Haviland planes, which were in use before the purchase of the all-metal planes by the govern ment. - Pildts Refuse to Fly Removal of the junkers from the service here comes as a direct result "of the refusal of two pilots to fly them from Chicago early this week, jt is said. ' -. The pilots refused to fly the junk ers because of the three serious ac cidents to similar ships In the east, in which two pilots and two mech anicians were burned to deafh. Eastern pilots also have refused to fly junker ships until the govern ment could ascertain the cause of the recent fires aboard planes en route on air mail service, it is reported. This cause has been located in Omaha, Manager Votaw declared. ' Chief Mechaulcian Smith of the Omaha- air mail station, working with Manager Votaw, completed a special investigation of the junker planes, last night and mailed the re sults of thejr investigation to head quarters, in Washington today. Cause or the fires is attributed to poor material used in the construc tion ofcjhe fuel feed pipes. "The feed pipes which carry the benzol from the supply tank to the motor," declared Mr. Votaw. "are constructed of poor material. Atter one of these junkers has beer, flying some distance the ex haust from the motor, which" is di rectly beneath these feed pipes, heats them to such a degree that the ben zol becomes inflamed and the ship is afire before the pilot or mechanician enn realize it. "These all-metal junker plane were purchased, from Germany soon after the signing of the armistice. Material Unavailable. "They were constructed' by the German government during the war, at a time yhen the be?f material, which is an essential , factor in. the construction of airplanes, could npt be had by the Germans." -. Omaha is unusually interested in the all-metal junker , plane because ! of the flight from New Yorf to Oma ha and return of the Larsen all metal planes, reconstructed and designed by J.- L. Larsen, formerly of Omaha. The trios of these Larsen planes seemed to be revolutionary in air- . D ane htstorv. Since the inauguration f the trans continental air mail service, making Omaha the- hub, two man planes ar rive and depart from- Omaha each day, except Sunday.- 5 ' , 1 1 ; Thompson Man Loses , ' In Race For Governor Chicago, Sept 18.

Sept. 18. Premier Giolitti of Italy told me this afternoon the Italians talked too much. "Italian workmen are too easily exicted. I hey are not bolshevists they only appear so." N I was received by the premier at iiotel tioulougne, where ue is stop ping en route to Rome. "Ameru:a more than any )ther nation misunderstands the Italian temperament. The spectre of cqm- cunism in Italy has not alarmed me for a minute," Dr. Agostino Mattolli, official intepreter, said for the pre mier.

"Signor Giolitti expostulated and said: ' . "Certainly not, neither do the workmen want it. All they want is a living wage which Ijll get for them. My whole political career has re volved around it.

"This is a temporary solution," the premier said, "for admittedly bad living conditions. The real solution lies in the "Selling by the govern ment at cost prices of. all commodi ties, such as food and drink. Workers Not Optimistic. t Chief Commisar John Parodi of the Fiat Automobile works, when I told him of Signor Giolijti's state ment, said: - t "We hope Premier Giolitti means what he says.
