ST LOUSORANS | . ARGRAFT VORLD International Exposition J Shows Advances Since Lind- | bergh Crossed Atlantic. | | By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, February 15.—St. Louis, | from whence Lindbergh flew to fame, azain drew the attention of the aero- | hautical world tonight with formal opening of the Second International | Aircraft Exposition. | The Aeronautical Chamber of Com- merce of America, sponsoring the show, called it the greatest exposition in the | history of aviation. Airplanes as luxu- riously finished as the finest upholstered automobiles, and huge transport ships with all the conveniences of modern railroad club cars and Pullmans were llrfl\yed in the three large arena build- ings. Eighty-seven planes, few of which were even designed or planned when Lindbergh left St. Louis for New York and Paris in 1927 to give aviation its biggest boom, filled the exhibit build- ings, and were estimated by exposition officials to be worth $2,500,000. Fifty new 1930 models, more than a score en- tirely new in design, were given their first showings. Manufacturers estimated the 1930 #hips are from 25 to 50 miles an hour faster than they were a year ago. Two of the planes exhibited have a top speed of more than 200 miles an hour, while most of them are rated to do 125 to 150 miles an hour. Some of the manufacturers, in an- mnouncing lower-priced ships to place them in a price range with the more expensive automobiles, forecast mass production of aircraft to compete with the motor car industry. . Motors are displayed by 16 different manufacturers, representing 95 per cent of this branch of the industry. | The age weight of motors in the display was announced as 236 pounds | T horsepower, compared with Wright gros.' first_engine, which weighed 16.6 pounds per horsepower. The exhibit displayed one foreign designed motor, the Jupiter, shipped here from England. An aerial parade over the city and a pre-view of the show by a group of sev- | eral thousand youngsters, constituting the first National Junior Aeronautical ’Cm\'entiun. preceded the formal open- 'ngl;he exposition will continue through February 23. { CHINA TO CONFISCATE ESTATE OF CONFUCIUS Protest Made by 77th Descendant, Who Believes Abandonment of Title Is Sufficient.

'NEW ORLEANS CARS AGAIN ON SCHEDULE Riots and Bombings Started in Strike Last Year Give Way to Former Routine. By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, February 15.—Few people realize it, but New Orleans still has a street car strike dating back from July 2. The only reminders are an occasional popping off of homemade bombs on street car rails. These ex- plosions are passed off with a shrug. Cars are operating on schedule with heavy patronage. Most of the regular motormen and conductors have gone back to work. At first New Orleans was enthusiastically behind the strikers. Mobs of hundreds of men and women stormed the offices, barns and cars of the New Orleans Public Service, Inc. They bore down with stones, sticks and guns and it was worth one's life to ride a street car six months ago. Two men were dragged out of mob fights dying and hundreds were bruised and maimed. Canal street became a bat- tle-ground for pillagers and _rioters, strike-breakers and police. Property damage ran into the thousands and business was demoralized. Then came the Federal injunction prohibiting interference with car oper- ation and damage to company prop- erty. Special deputies and squads of police were sent out to enforce it with shotguns. Meantime, officials of the Carmen's Union were negotiating for settlement and definite terms were reached at a conference in Néw York between Pub- lic Service officials and William D. Mahon, international president of the Street Carmen’s Union, and Willlam Green, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, But the men voted the ment unless the Public Service would agree to take back all of the strikers at once. Public Service re- fused to amend the terms and issued to the strikers. The union ignored the warning and Mr. Mahon and Mr. Green stepped aside Weeks later the men voted to .accept the New York terms, but Public Serv- ice refused to deal further with the union ~Large numbers of strikers ap- plied for their old jobs. —_— [PULPIT PENSIONS SOUGHT.
