RlOl DISASTER KILLED BRITONS’ AIRSHIP FAITH Death Knell to Dirigibles So Far as Opinion of Public Is Concerned. la thr Mean* and laat article n • Innolrr Into the R-Wt diameter hr niftaad. BY e. L, PERCY, United Preas Staff Corresoeadant LONDON, Jan. 20.—The appalling <lisaster to the British airship, RlOl, in which forty-eight lives were lost, sounded the death knell of airships *P far as Britain is concerned, according to a consensus of the public. Stunned by the catastrophe, the worst In airship history, people generally have expressed the opinion that as a means of long-dis-tance traveling, large airships were i?ot feasible. Even on the same day as the crash, Oct. 4, employes at the airship works, Cardington, Bedfordshire, from which the fatal flight to India was started, declared that the works would be closed down *tnd the RIOO, Britain’s only other large airship, broken up. Depends on Simon Report Events during the last three months have not, however, fully carried out these predictions. The fate of airship development in this country depends entirely on the government’s policy as the result of the report of the Inquiry which is now proceeding, headed by Sir John Simon. Whether this policy will favor future airship development is hard to say. It is pointed out that the government lost more than $5,000,000 when the RlOl crashed, that public sentiment is opposed to airships, and that the Labor government’s sanction of the expenditure of more money on airships would probably re-act unfavorably. Interest on RIOO Future ( At least it is certain that there Will be no building for many months, if only because, even before the RlOl disaster it was decided to devote the next year to the development of mechanical handling of airships rather than the development of the ships themselves. The most immediate problem, the solution of which greatly is intriguing the public, is ttie fate of the RIOO. The same size as the RlOl before the latter had an extra bay added, the RIOO has come through all her tests with flying colors. At the present time she is being repaired and overhauled, after her flight to Canada and back, at Cardington. Dirigible Staff Depicted The gasbags have been deflated, and the outer covering, which had become rather worn, has been removed. No new cover is to be fitted, however, until the government decides what, it is going to do. In the meantime a depletedi staff of 500—one-third were taken off the pay roll a few weeks after the RlOl crashed—ls making minor repairs and keeping the RlOl in condition. Whether she flies again, or dies, depends on the government, and government action depends on the Simon report.

RAIL LEADERS DOURTFDL ON LOSTDUSINESS Dubious as to Whether They Even Can Win Back Short Hauls From Trucks. Serious doubt was expressed by about twenty-five representatives of railroads and interurban lines today whether railroads ever again would obtain the short haul freight business they have lost to trucking concerns. The railroad men met with the public service commission to consider possible advantages of reducing freight rates to the pre-war basis. Commissioners suggested the reduction which would make rates less than one-half present rates, according to Calvin Mclntosh, member of the commission, and result in thousands of dollars in savings to shippers. Many of the speakers doubted whether the business could be re-

gained, even with reductions, unless the roads established delivery service from stores and farms to railroads. This would increase expenses greatly and Would be unprofitable unless a greatly increased business resulted, it was pointed out. Mclntosh said the commissioners were not assured that any reductions would be made but the representatives of the carriers promised to take the matter under consideration until a future meeting.
