ELATED OVER RIGHT OF
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
FIFTEEN HUNDRED OPER
ATORS WALK OUT.
Brokers' Operators Apply for
Recognition of Their
Organization.

Chicago, June 16.-Union leaders
directing the nationwide strike of
commercial telegraphers were elated
over reports from Atlantic City that
the right of collective bargaining,
granted Saturday to electrical work
ers, had been extended to all other
employees under the postoffice depart
ment, including telegraph operators.
While declining to discuss the pos
sible effect of this action on the
telegraphers' strike, officers of the
commercial telegraphers' union said
the big issue over which the strike
was called last week was the right
of collective bargaining.
IF Postmaster General Burleson's
order is extended to the striking te-
legraphers and assurance of rein
statement of the strikers is arranged,
the strike will be called off imme-
diately," said S. J. Konenkamp, the
international president. THE out
look today is brighter than at any
time since the strike was called"
said Konenkamp. THE strike is
spreading; the railroad telegraphers
have absolutely refused to handle
commercial business, in line with the
instructions from the Order of Rail
way photographers; the number of
commercial telegraphers out is rapid
ly increasing and commercial bust
ness is being delayed at all points
where railroad wires are used for
commercial kilograms. The brokers
operators are taking referendum on
a sympathetic strike, the result of
which will be made known shortly"

TRANSATLANTIC AVIATORS
REPORT TRYING ORDEAL

When assistance reached the ma
chine the two aviators were helped
to the ground, and 1t was found that
Lieut.. Brown was slightly injured on
the nose and mouth by the jolt given
the machine when 1t landed. Both
men were deaf and dazed and were
unable to walk steadily for some
minutes. They quickly recovered.
however, and were escorted to the
wireless station in triumph. They
distributed cigarettes as souvenirs
cat which were mascots during the
trip.
Describing the trip the aviators
said they had a very trying ordeal.
Capt. Alcock said the sun came out
only once when the biplane had at
tanned height of 1000 feet. The
altitude of the machine varied from
a few feet from the water up to
$4,000 feet, and the fliers never
sighted single ship.
Whether Upside Down or Not.
II did not know once during the
night whether | was upside down or
not. said Capt Alcock "Once we
assembled hurriedly when we saw the
green Atlantic only thirty feet be-
low"
The breaking away of the propeller
generating current for the wireless
apparatus soon after the start pre-
vented the men from communicating
with the shore. When 1t happened,
Lieut. Brown noticed the propeller
had carried away with 1t one of the
stay wires, but he did not tell Capt.
Alcock until after they had landed
at Clifden. When Alcock learned of
he he xxrn,tld
turned back had known"
Weather conditions were very bad
during the trip and Lieut.. Brown
had to climb from his seat to clear
the ice away from the petrol guage.
After breakfast today Lieut.. Brown
went to bed, while Capt. Alcock in
spected the machine. The lieutenant,
however was unable to sleep and
soon got up. By noon both were
looking perfectly well, and willingly
distributed autographs to admirers.
Capt. Alcock wanted to fly to Eng
land in a borrowed plane, but his
companion observed: II have had
enough flying for a bit"
First Transatlantic Postman.
Capt. Alcock exhibited bunch of
rain soaked letters which he had been
asked to mail if the fight was sue
cessful, saying:
~ am the first. transatlantic post
man."
The two aviators said they were
only once in real danger, when the
machine went into a fiat spin, owing
to the pilot being unable to tell how
the machine was moving. Lieut..
Brown, noticing that the compass
needle was swinging from side to
side---the first indication that some
thing was wrong-managed to get
Capt. Alcock to understand the diff
ficulty. The machine Travelled at a
rate of 140 miles an hour at times,
and the pilot once found himself
diving straight toward the surface of
the ocean. He was so near the water
that he had to snatch" the machine
from it's dive so quickly that 1t al
most looped the loop. He says the
machine would have crumpled up
had it touched the water at the speed
it was then travelling.
The biplane is being guarded by
soldiers and it is probable it will be
necessary to dismantle it.
