washington's policemen's union. re-
Gently organized and affiliated with
the Central Labor Union and Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, has been dis
solved.
At a meeting Of the organization
last night held in the American Fed-
Grafton Of Musicians Hall. 1905 E
street, the union decided, by a vote Of
"a to 21, to disband and return its
charter Of Incorporation to the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor.
President c. A. Strobel. G. I. Hell
muth, Milton D. Smith and c. F. Smith
were appointed special committee
to return the charter to the officials
of the American Federation of Labor.
This will be done today.
This decision was reached only after
a heated debate. Those opposing the
proposition to surrender the charter
and disband made a fight to main
tain the action taken by the union at
its meeting a week ago. when it was
decided to continue the organization
and it's aff1liation with the American
Federation of Labor until the courts
passed upon the question which had
been raised by the union challenging
the right of the District Commission
ers to order members of the police
force connected with the union to
sever their affiliation with the organ
ization or lose their positions.
President Strobel explained the vote
to disband was due to the fact that
the salary increase bill had been
favorably reported out of the House
District committee and that the men
felt that as an evidence of their ap-
probation Of this assurance of Con-
gress that they would be given the
much needed increase in their sal
aries it was up to them to leave the
union.
Those members Of the union who
made up the minority contesting dis
banding of the union expressed their
hope to organize a union here among
the members Of the force, without any
affiliation with organized labor. that
will be connected with a polfcemen's 8
union or organization for mutual
benefit that will be Of national scope.

Gei fret at Coffee Creek and M Boy CT at White rver who had been the victims of wrecked gasboat on the Donjek river and had wandered for many days in the wilderness. Each had thought the other lost, and both were unspeahably happy when he dis covered that his partner was alive. The men had outfltted at White horse for prospecting trip, and running out of gasoline, started to drift down the Donjek. The boat struck a snag and was overturned. Gepfret was left in midstream, hang ing onto the snag, while Boyer caught the boat and hung onto that as it went down the river. That was the last the two men saw of each other until they were reunited on the Casca. Gepfret stripped himself and swan ashore, and walked, barefoot. to Coffee creek Boyer had worked himself down the Donjek and White to the Yukon. The boat and all the mems supplies were lost.
