Herzog and Schroeder were with four other boys in a rowboat and were rowing down. stream toward the new bridge being built over the river between this city and East Hartford. The, place is a. busy one at night, with it's derricks, floats and scows in action there being a shift at night as well as during the day. As the boat containing the boys was almost under the bridge a huge derrick hoisting a bucket full of sand and gravel was started up and the boys were watching the progress of, the bucket, which was to swing over to a float and there dump its load. Owing to some mistake the hundreds of pounds of dirst was dumped prema- tureely, directly on the young men. The rowboat was upset by the load and all six boys were thrown into the river. Herzog and Schroeder disap- peared immediately and their bodies have not been recovered. The other four boys swan to. the float and were pulled out in an exhausted condition.

Statement of President Buchanan on
 Start of Trouble Here.

Cleveland, Aug. 25.-Frank Buchanan, president of the International Associa- tion of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, issued a statement to-day giving his version of the strike against the American Bridge company. Presi- dent Buchanan said, in part:
 "In the jurisdiction of Local 15, at New Haven, where the present trouble started, the American Bridge company secured a contract from the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad for the erection of about three thousand tons of steel at a price higher than the Boston Bridge company had bid. We have been informed that the railroad company let this contract to the Amer ican Bridge company believing it to employ union men and that there would be no labor troubles. Then the Ameri- can Bridge company sub-let this con- tract to the Boston Bridge company, knowing that they were working in vi- olation of the established rules of our
 association in that locality" .f
