Flagship Wright The U. 8. 8. Wright is the flag- ship of Admiral Johnson, and was as a transport, later being con- verted into a seaplane tender. This vessel has a crew of about 400 men, and in addition to having ma- chine’ and aviation structural re- pair shops on board carries large supplies of gasoline, airplane spar general stores and lubricating oil. A sizeable cold storage plant in- sures a fresh supply of meat, fruits and vegetables, the smaller tenders depending on the Wright for their main source of supply. The smaller tenders, U. S. S. Swan, Sandpiper and Avocet were built during the World War for minesweeping in European waters having also been converted to suit their present duty as seaplane tenders. All of the tenders have accommodations for the planes’ crews and are fitted with appar- atus to hoist heavy seaplanes out of the water and carry them on deck. These same squadrons were south with the fleet in April and oper- ated with it during the war games (Continued un Page Kignu) {Gov.

Another nation-wide campaign is demonstrating again how diffi- cult it is really to “realign” poli- tical parties. : For many years politicians and political observers have been say- ing the time was near when one party would have to become the “conservative” party, and the oth= er the ‘“radical” party. The results show how far wrong it s possible for the wise ones to be.

The patrol type operates from the water in- stead of from the deck of a ship. The current exercise, the air trans- port of twelve PM-1 type seaplanes of Patrol Squadrons Seven and Nine, illustrates the coordination which exists and is essential to the success of such a task. Land on, Harbors In an operation such as this with Navy seaplanes the harbors and the landing fields and the surface vessels of the command are the fuel stations, storehouses, repair stations and hotels. Weath- er conditions are reported by the Navy radio stations along our coastline and by ships at sea to the flagship and there used in the forecast made by the officer ex- perienced in aerology. If condi- tions are favorable, the planes are ordered to proceed. In ordering any flight of this kind in time of peace first consideration is given to the protection of the lives of the crew and of the government prop- erty represented by the planes. While in flight they are in con- stant radio communicatfon with the flagship, and their constantly changing positions plotted on charts by the officers of the Ad- miral's staff. As emergency land- ing fields are provided all over the United States for land planes, surface vessels are stationed along the course of the seaplane flights to render assistance if for any reason any of the planes may be forced down.

FR A N CISCO, Cal, July 31.—The strike of the longshoremen and other mari- time unions, which has par- alyzed the Pacific Coast since last May 9, has practically passed into history as twelve thousand strikers turned back to the docks and other mari- time workers signified their readiness to return to work {turning over their grievances to arbitrators. The longshoremen return- ed to their jobs on the docks, in most instances, at 8 o'clock this morning. The seamen voted eight to one last night for arbitration and returned to work this morning.

Oregon’s Governor has recalled the National Guardsmen as the work- ers of that State returned to the waterfronts with six vessels ex- pected to sail from Portland to- night. PENDULUM SWINGS BACK WASHINGTON, July 31. — The capital and labor pendulum today swung back toward peace as at least three major strikes ended. Only in the strikes of the Min~ neapolis truck drivers and the Chicago livestock handlers, are there adverse developments. The truck drivers have declared to Gov. Fioyd B. Olson that un- less all trucks are halted for 48 hours, they will stop them by force. The strike in the stockyards threatened today to spread. to the packing plants.
