L3 MEETS FOR PARLEY AVIATION GROUP Representatives of Airplane Manufactories in Conference With Commerce Officials. Representatives of 48 of the largest American manufacturers of airplanes and airplane engines began arriving in ! the National Capital toady for two days of conferences prior to their appear- ance before officials of the aeronautics branch of the Department of Com- merce on Friday and Saturday to sub- mit recommendations of the aviation | industry on a long series of proposed amendments to the airworthiness re- quirements of the air commerce act. ‘The Department of Commerce con- ference is to be one of the most im- portant of the year from the stand- point of the aviation industry. It wils be the first held under a new code of procedure which affords the manufac- turers opportunity to express their views before airworthiness requirements are promulgated. Standards of Engines Considered. ‘The airworthiness requirements eom- pose a set of standards which aircraft and engines must meet before they can be licensed by the Department of Com- merce for use in civil aeronautics. Radical changes in the structure of the aeronautical industry during the past year are expected to have a deep in- fluence on the attitude of the manu- * facturers toward the proposed amend- ments.

Mr. Byers became widely known in 1922 as a figure in the Nation-wide strike of raflroad shopmen. Opposed Strikers’ Paroles. He would not accede to the demands of the strikers connected with his road and later defended his position before the United States Labor Board. Later he appeared before Gov. Albert C. Ritchie and opposed the granting of paroles to four strikers who were under sentence for violence. The twentieth annual convention of the Maryland and District of Colum- bia Federation of Labor meeting at Hagerstown in April, 1924, adopted a | Tesolution condemning the Western Maryland and Mr. Byers for not ac- cepting a proffer of the federation to act as mediator. Mr. Grl{ had been with the Western Maryland longer than his chief and at| the general office it was stated un- officially there was an arrangement whereby he reported directly to the board of directors instead of the presi- dent. Mr. Byers, however, has been chairman of the board since 1926, Heard Shots at Corner. Patrolman Walter P. Koehler said he was the first policeman to enter the offices.

He said he found 10 empty shells on the ficor and said the gun must have been reloaded. Office employes were unable to say how many shots they had heard. Mr. Byers came in conflict with three religious organizations in 1925 when the engineers and firemen on his rail- road, chiefly a coal carrier from the Western Pennsylvania, Western Mary- Jand and West Vinginia fields, st?uck for increased wages. Condemned Report. A report of the organization more favorable to the strikers than the rail- toad management was condemned by him as “neither logical nor just.” He said the conclusions were the “in- evitable result” which might be ex- pected when the mini-try leaves its pul- pits and attempts, without practical ex- perience, to solve complicated indus- trial problems. Rabbi Edward L. Israel, defending the report, said the railroad had not been sincere with the investigators. J. W. Stringer, a special representa- tive of the president of the road, said that only three or four minutes before the shooting he went into Byers' office and talked with both men. They seemed to be holding a quiet discussion and apparently were on the post amicable terms, he told the police. His widow and five sons survive Mr. Byers.

MAJOR STEDMAN DIES HERE TODAY | IN HIS 90TH YEAR| (Continued From First Page) service extended for a number of years after the death of Representative Isaac R. Sherwood of Ohio, the last of the Army in blue to hold a seat in the House. Stedman and Sherwood, both Demo- crats, became warm personal friends during - their service in the House. | Many times they joked and swapped stories of the days when they were on opposite sides of the firing line, one a major in the Confederate Army and the other a brigadier general under Grant. Tribute Paid Him. In his closing years in the House, Maj. Stedman was the recipient of many honors from his colleagues. Upon his eighty-fifth birthday the House ac- corded him the unusual honor of sus- pending proceedings to pay his tribute. He was asked to come to the well in front of the Speaker’s chair while each member on the floor formed in line to file past and his hand. At that time, presentative Tilson of Connecticut, the Republican leader, and Representative Garrett of Tennes- see, the Democratic leader, both spoke in high praise of the veteran Confed- erate who, although with white hair by those who knew him best. He re- fused to surrender to advancing years. He was always courteous, kindly, cher- ishing a deep and abiding reverence for ‘womanhood, firm in his own convictions, yet tolerant of the convictions of others. He represented the very highest ideals of the land of his birth.” “I did not think of Maj. Stedman as a Confederate veteran,” said Repre- sentative Bulwinkle, “but I am thinking of men like Maj. Stedman who were leaders in_their States, who helped to build the South, who helped to make it what it is today and who did their part in uniting the Nation.” Maj. Stedman was modest and unas- suming. He declined to recall any of his experiences during the war, and even was loath to refer to the great generals with whom he was associ- ated. He felt that the Civil War was history; that the men who took part in it could better serve their country by dealing with the present, doing what they could to uphold its institutions and preserving it as a heritage for their children. Defense of Confederates, Only once in his long career in the House Maj. Stedman rose to defend the soldier of the Confederacy. That was when a Northern Representative was reported to have classed them as “traitors to the country.” Maj. Stedman walked majestically down the aisle to the well of the House and quietly re- minded his hearers that Lee, Jackson and the other leaders fought in what they considered to be the cause of | and gray beard, carried himself with a | right military erectness of his younger days. Maj. Stedman was born January 29, 1841, at Pittsboro, N. C. He enlisted in the Confederate Army at the outbreak of the war and after the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox returned to North Carolina and took up the prac- tice of law. He married Miss Katherine de Rossett right in January, 1868. n at the age of 20. The outbreak of hostilities found him a of the uating class of the lorth Carolina and so eager was he to don the uniform that as soon as he received his diploma he left the campus without waiting for the commencement exercises. He enlisted as a private in the Fay- etteville Light Infantry, North Caro- lina’s first regiment in the war, and campaigned under both Lee and Jack- son during the four intervening years before Appomattox. After the war Maj. Stedman re- sumed the studies, which he had left 50 abruptly and two years later began the practice of law at Greensboro. Shortly after his marriage to Miss Wright he moved to Wilmington, her home, and formed the law firm of Wright and Stedman. Defeated for Governor. In 1880, he was chosen a delegate to the Democratic National Convention and four years later was elected lieu- tenant-Governor. Upon expiration of his term he was defeated for the Gov- ernorship in a heated contest by a small vote. Upon the death of “Uncle Joe” Can- non in 1924, he became the oldest mem- ber of the House in point of age and upon his re-election in 1926, to the Seventieth Congress, he became one of the oldest in point of - service. “He was broad-minded, tolerant and therefore intensely American,” said Representative E. W. Pou, one of his home State colleagues. ‘‘He became a national figure, respected by all CHAS. SCHWARTZ of Chas. Schwartz & given every customer.

Stedman said. “The ability and integ- rity of Lee, Jackson and other great leaders of the South were never mini- mized. Their supreme sense of duty, their unselfish devotion to what they deemed to be the cause of right, have been recognized in every land where patriotic heroism has a home. Whoso- ever characterizes Gen. Robert E. Lee as a traitor may well beware lest he in- herit from Herostratus his crown of infamy. The memory of Gen. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson will live, transmitted from generation to genera- tion, when the costliest tombs erected by the love of their countrymen shall have perished.” MAN INJURED IN FALL SOUGHT BY RESCUERS Moutain Climber Lies With Broken Ankle on Ice Knob After 125- Foot Drop When Rope Snaps.

BOSTON, September 23.—Rainy-day dollars, chain-store “robots” and the alleged mismanagement of farm relief by the Farm Board were among the topics discussed at the opening day's program of the Boston Conference on Retail Distribution yesterday.
