Organization of the largest wom-I
en's trades union local in the State ofi
Georgia was effected Sunday nlghti
at a meeting of the Telephone Oper—‘
ators’ Association, a division of the
Commercial Telegraphers’ Union ofl
America, when 400 telephone opera-|
tors made application for admission
into the union. The meeting was
held at the Odd Fellows' Hall, No. 12
West Alabama street, and was ad-l
dressed by Mayor Key, W. S. Wler.’
the Rev. A. C. Hendley and President |
P. C. Fonville, of the Telegraphers’|
District Council. |
An “opposition” meeting calied nyi
the Brotherhood of Electrical Work- |
ers to organize the telephone operators '
secured twenty applications, lacking
enough, however, to secure a charter
in that organization. The Electrical
Workers' Union had disputed juris
diction over the telephone workers;
and following the organization meet- |
ing held by the Commercial Telegra
phers a week ago when 100 members
were secured, attempted to form a
separate organization.
Speakers at the larger meeting at
the Odd Fellows' Hall urged lhe{
young women to perfect the organi- |
zation in which they had started and |
to pay no attention to attempts to
disrupt and divide them on the ques- |
tion of jurisdiction or other questions.
The jurisdictional question must be|
decided by the coming American Fed- i
eration of Labor convention, they |
were informed, and attempts to dis
rupt local organizations before thall
time will not be sanctioned by the
executive board of the Federation. ,
Key Addresses Meeting. _
Mayor Key addressed the women |
workers in his happiest vein, pointingf
out the rapid change within the pusli’
generation in the status of women in- |
dustrially and politically, declaring |
that the old view that women be- |
longed in the home had been (:hangedi
by industrial evolution. The Mayor
outlined his philosophy of life, whxoh,l
lie declared, included the right of all|
elements of society to organize forl
proper motives,
Discuissing the case of the Jocal|
telephone operators, the Mayor said |
that he had received personal as-|
surance from the management of the |
Southern Bell Telephone Company |
that they had no objection to the:
young women organizing for the bet. |
terment of their conditions and that|
they hoped if an organization was|
formed at all, the entire working
force would become aftiliated !
“l believe in organized labor as I
do in organized capital,” the Mayor
declared. “Both capital and labor
have the right to organize to obtain
legitimate results, and no one has the
right to deny either of them that
privilege. If I were working in a
trade where a union organization ex
isted, 1 would goin the union for the
benefit of my fellow workers, if not
for my own. It you ask me for ud-‘
vice on the subject, 1 advise you to
Join the union and refuse to be di
vided on any subject.”
Labor Editor Speaks.
William E. Wier, editor of The
Journal of Labor, delivered a strong
address, in which he traced the rise
of women from the position of being
“property” to their present status and
predicted that the time is near at
hand wehn “women will stand side
by side with men on terms of abso
lute equality, politically, sociailly and
industrially.” He attributed the prog
ress made in the liberation of woman
hood to the rise of the trades unions
and the development of thought
through the extension of the puhlxc'
press. Speaking of the attempt tui
form a dual organization, he declared |
it as his opinion that the natural as- |
finity existing between the telegraph
and telephone operators made it im
perative that they should unite in the
same organization, but advised that
the decision of the American Federa
tion of Labor on that point, when
made at the next convention, be com
plied with fully
Following the conclusion of the ad
dresses and the musical program, re
freshments were served and a staff of
gocretaries consumed nearly an hour
in writing the applications and re-|
ceipts for union dues
C. F. Mann, general organizer of
the telegraph and telephone operators’
organization, announced that owing to
the length of the program and time
consumed in passing on applications
another meeting would have to be
called during the week for the pur
pose of electing officers and commit
tees from the ranks of the telephone
giris to represent them in dealing col
Jectively with the management
A conference was held between Mr
Mann and an official of the Southern
Bell Telephone Company following
the meeting, when preliminary steps
were taken toward reaching an un
derstanding between the new organi
gation and the company. It was an

Mann that the young women would

NC Aeres Developed
By Navy During War
To Fight Submarines
By COMMANDER HOLDEN C. RIOCHARDSON,
Pilot of Naval Airplane NC-3, Who by Special Permission of the
Navy Department Will Report the Great Trans-Atlantic
Air Flight for the Hearst Newspapers.
(Copyright, 1919, by Star Company.)
Whila the original conception of
the navy's ‘“great trans-Atlantic
gulls” had in its scope the possibility
of extended journeys over the sea and
land, it can not be maintained that
the craft were built expressiy for this
purpose, at least not in the form now
Dre*ntod.
In the summer of 1917 Rear Ad
miral D. W. Taylor, chief of the Bu
reau of Construction and Repair, con
ceived the idea of a seaplane that
would be seaworthy and capable of
sustained flight. In this idea was
embodied the proposition of a plane
which could carry a good offensive
equipment, bombs, guns, torpedoes or
mines, and at the same time a suffi
clent armament to protect it from at
tack by enemy planes.
This obviously required that it be a
plane of large dimensions, such as
would be impracticable to deliver
aboard ship. It suggested also a pos
sibility of proceeding to Kurope by
air. Bureau representatives consulted
with Glenn H. Curtiss and his as
gistants, who presented an outline of
a design having the appropriate char
acteristics contemplated.
Many Experiments Made.
The original characteristics cov
ered two biplanes, one with three en
gines and the other with five. For
use in the power plants of these
planes was contemplated the engine
then being designed, and which after
ward became known as the “Liberty
motor.”
Both contemplated a departure from
the original “America” type, designed
for trans-Atlantic flight before the
war, on instructions from Rodman
Wanamaker, in that the hull was
shortened and the tail surfaces were
to be carried on outriggers instead of
an extension of the tail of the float.
The entire design involved the use
of parts of large dimensions, and the
development of details much larger
than ever had been undertaken pre
viously in this country, and even
larger than any that had heen under
taken abroad at that time, although
the dimensions of the Handley-Page
approximated those contemplated.
About the end of September I was
called from duty at Pensacola, Fla.,
to Buffalo, to assist in developing de
tails of the design. On account of the
unusual dimensions, the new ar
rangements and the departure from
previous practice, many of the details
had to be determined by actual ex
perimental constructions.
The most difficult problems were
the determinations of the construc
tion of the wing-spars and the wing
struts. So little definite information
was available as to the strength of
materials invoived and so many ar
rangements of material were possi
ble, that the only way to arrive at a
‘decision was to construct experi
mental parts and calculate their
strength and verify the same by ac
tual tests to destruction,
Use of Steel Rejected.
The use of steel instead of wood at
ar.-n appeared to offer advantage, but
was soon found that steel struc
tures of equal strength could not be
built for the same weight as wooden
members without serious difficulty In
fabrication or danger due to corro
sion,
The struts themselves are long,
wooden columns which must not
buckle under flying loads. The prin-

‘onoa of large dimensions, such as are
| used in factories.
) A strut's dimensions have to be re
stricted in order that they will not
involve too much resistance to their
advance through the air. In order to
keep this resistance down, it is nec
essary that the form of a strut shall
be stream-lined. This means that a
cross-section of the strut should be
“fish-bellied.”
For the first NC boat to be con
'structed, a box-formed cross-section
was adopted for the struts. This was
overlaid by a false stream line cov
ering of paper impregnated with
Bakelite,
The spars of an airplane’s wings
are subject to compound stresses,
;composed of column stresses, due to
iloads in the airplane truss and due to
‘bending stresses resulting from the
| wind pressure on the lifting surfaces.
The spars are holiow,
} At the points where struts and
wires are attached to the spars very
}hea\'ily concentrated loads are lo
’cnted and at these points the spars
’are locally reinforced. They are also
reinforced between these points to
prevent buckling of the thin walls,
‘bulkheads being fitted about every
12 or 18 inches, similar to the dia
phragms found in a bamboo pole.
Spruce Used in Ribs.
The wing-ribs themselves were of
such unusual size that a new type of
rib of lattice-work construction, sim
ilar to the type used in elevated rail
‘road trussses, was found the most
satisfactory. To insure the necessary
‘strength, full-sized members were
constructed of many different types
and tested to destruction by sand
loading.
lLoads of sand were distributed as
lnurly as possible to conform to the
pressures in actual service. For ex
ample, there was built a 20-foot rib,
weighing about 3 1-2 pounds. It was
sand-loaded with about 960 pounds
without failure. However, before this
result was obtained, certain of the
lattice-work members had to be in
creased in strength, while it was
found possible to decrease the
‘strenxth of others.
In the construction of ribs, spars
land struts, the highest grade of
spruce was used. As soon as the ap
proximate dimensions of the seaplane
were determined, a scale model was
)huflt and tested in the wind tunnel at
ithe Washington Navy Yard. From
‘the results of these tests the longi
tudinal and directional stability were
determined, as well as the horse
power and flight characteristics, all
'of which since have been verified
closely in actual practice.
3 The form of the hull adopted is a
‘departure, in that it has a beam of
only 10 feet and is so constructed
that no ribs are used to support the
bottom planking. Both these points
were severely criticized by foreign
\exp«rls and a number of American
constructors,
It was their contention that the
‘bottom would tear apart at the keel
in service. But a longitudinal system
of support was developed on the prin- |
ciple of the design of the design of
the bottom of pontoons, as designed
by the Navy Department, and no dif
ficulty has been met in its employ
‘ment.

ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, MAY 12, 1919
R. W, Glass, found gulilty of com
plleity in automobile robberies, in a
verdiet returned in Judge Hupmhries'
court Sunday, was sentenced Mon
day morning by Judge Humphries to
five years in the penitentiary, in
&pite of a recommendation by the jury
that the offense be dealt with as a
misdemeanor,
“l can not entertain this recommen
dation,” said the court in passing sen
tence. “It was not for me to say if
the defendant is guilty or not guilty.
That lay with the jury. The jury
says he is guilty. If he is guilty, it is
not of a misdemeanor—if he is not
guilty he should not be punished at
all. Having been found guilty, it is
my duty to sentence him according to
the law in the case.”
Glass Ably Defended.
Judge Humphries added that Glass
had been defended by able counsel
and had had a fair trial, the jury
considering his case for about sixteen
hours.
Preceding the sentence, a strong ap
peal was made by Attorney George
Westmoreland, of the defense,
Mr. Westmoreland said that Glass
had proved “as good a character as
any man in the land.”
“He simply was indiscreet In his
associates,” said Mr. Westmoreland.
“Like Old Dog Tray, he got into bad
company. He should not be punished
with too much severity for that.”
Mrs. Glass was in court when sen
tence was passed, but did not break
down or reveal any overwhelming
emotion. Notice was given of a mo
tion for a new trial
Judge Humphries fixed bond of $lO -
000 for Glass pending the outcome of
the appeal for a new trial. Attorneys
said the bond was expected to be
given and Glass released Monday aft
ernoon.
Trial Begun Thursday.
(ilass, whose trial commenced last
Thursday and was hotly fought, was
accused of Imving operated a unique
system to obtain stolen cars. This
alleged system was revealed through
the confession of R. T. Grimes, now
held in a jail as an auto shwf, who
told the jury that he would advertise
a stolen car for sale, at the direction
of Glass, and that the latter then
would come to him with a friend and
purchase the car. The “for sale” ad
vertisements, he declared, were writ.
ten by Glass in his place of business,
He testifiad that Glass knew the cars
were stolen.
Evidence of a similar nature also
was given by R. . Jester, under sen
tence for auto stealing.
Solicitor Boykin also introduced in
evidence several steel dies, which
were said to have been procured from
the office of Glass, and which, the So
licitor contended, were used in chang
ing numbers on stolen cars. Glass,
in his statement, insisted that these
dies were used in his legitimate busi.
ness
Makes Lengthy Denial.
Glass made a complete denial of
the charges, his statement to the jury
being one of the longest ever made
in the Fulton Courthouse, extending
over nearly three hours
The Grand Jury, at the time of its
investigation into the charges against
Glass, returned four indictments, but
he was tried only in one case, that of
having received the stolen automo
bile of A. C. Porterfield, which Grimes
was sald to have stolen from a garage
in Washington street,
Detectives J. A. McKibben and Jack
Malecom arrested Grimes, and the lat.
