MYSTERY 0F NORTH
 ATLANTIC SOLVED
Brenen's Trip Believed to Have
 Explained Other Tragedies
PROBABLY LOST AT SEA
Lesson from Bremen Is That Other Eliers Probably Were Forced Down When Supply of Fuel Gave Out While Still Over Ocean.

New York, April 16.-UP)-The flight of the German monoplane Bremen has given the answer to the mystery of why previous attempts to fly eastward across the North Atlantic have ended fatally.
 Almost beyond doubt the answer is that the planes that had started out before went down at sea after exhausting their fuel in fighting gales that had reduced both their cruising speed and their flying life.
 Three Planes Lost
 Three airplanes had started from European side to make the flight, each disappeared at sea. Not the slightest word has been revealed of the fate of any of the planes.
 But with the arrival of the Bremen on the North American side of the Atlantic. her last drop of fuel exhausted after flight of 2,125 miles in A hours, little word was needed to picture the tragic fate of her predecessors.
 Speed of Bremen
 The Bremen, d specially-bull' plfne of the latest type, was rated with a maximum speed of 13o miles an hour and a cruising speed of 95 to 100, depending on weather condi- tions. Her crew had expected tc make the 3.165-mile flight to New York from Baldonnel. near Dublin in 36 hours at most-a cruising speed of sS miles an hour. which al' lowed for adverse winds. koehl, heI commander. believed she had fuel for 50 hours flight, though other experts at the field estimated 4s 1 hours.
 i Flew 2.125 Miles
 1 The Bremen flew c,125 miles ir | 34 hours, and dropped her fuel ex' / hausted, onto Greenley Island. Sht made but f25 miles an hour.
 Allowing for the possibility of 8 mechanical failure-such as thai which sent George Haldeman and 1 Ruth Elder down at sea on thei' 1 eastward flight-nevertheless I seemed she had remained in the ail for 16 hours less than her own crew had estimated she could fly, and sh' had made 275 miles an hour; total of 975 miles-lcss in that tim than the most conservative estimat of her presumed cruising spee' against bad weather.

Stolp, Pomerania, Germany. April 1s F-General Umberto Mobile brought his polar dirigible Italia through a night Of head winds and electrical storms and landed at Sed- din airdrome. six miles from here this morning.
 The Italian airship with which Mobile hopes to explore north polar regions came down at Seddin at o:35 a. m., and was immediately placed in the hangar. It had taken the craft 30 hours and 70 minutes to come from Milan, about 6S0 miles from here by airplane.

 Quebec, April 16 H>-Wireless op- orators at Clarke City this after- noon said that Commandant Fitz. maurice of the crew of the transat. lantic monoplane Bremen had left Greenly Island in u Canadian Transcontinental Airways Company'a plane.
 Remain With Plane
 The Irish aviator will be taken either to Father Point or Quebec as weather conditions permit and will proceed when possible to New York. His companions in the transatlantic flight, Baron von Huenefeld and Captain koehl. remain on the island and will attempt to repair the plane so as to complete the flight to New York.
 The plane which is bringing Com- mandant Fitzmaurice from the lone- ! ly island where the Bremen landed on Friday. is that flown to them yes terday from Murray Bay by Dr. Cuistnier and c. A. Duke" Schiller. 1 Father Point. or Farther Point. is on the Gaspe Peninsula, forming the south shore of the St. Lawrence. It is near the town of Rimouski in the county of that name. where both railroad and telegraph communica- tions with the outside world may be had.

 Miss Junkers said that no at tempt would be made to fly the F-l3 to Greenly Island. where the Bremen is marooned, as it was not believed landing could be made there on wheels. She said she might continue to Quebec, but would go no farther.

NEW BEDFORD HAS EFFECTIVE STRIKE
Union Leaders Claim WalkOut Is
 One Hundred Per Cent
.27 LARGE MILLS INCLUDED
Plenty of Activity But No Disorders | - 5000 Operatives Inyqlvud - skeleton Forces Working In Some Plants.

New Bedford. Mass, April 16 lP) Union leaders claimed d 100 per cent effective strike this morning when New Bedford textile opera tives began their first fight against 10 per cent wage cut. Independent tour of the mill established at the most but a few handfuls of opera tives could have gone to work.
 No Disorders
 Informal picketing by employees of the 27 large mills effected by the strike was the plan of the morning. Loom fixers who went into the mills and brought out their tools were centers of ovations. At the Pemaquid mill women operatives marched up and down the street singing. Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here" A snake dance kept up en- thusiasm outside the sharp mill Police details covered the city but there were no disturbances report ed and the only police action was to clear a few streets where crowds of strikers outside the gates hindered traffic.
 Secretary William F. C. Battey, and Abraham Binns of the Textile Council executive committee made the rounds of the mills and an nounced "a wonderful demonstra- tion Of solidarity with everybody out"
 
 An addition to the list of mills with strikes today was the Old Colony silk mill at which operatives first accepted the cut and have now decided to protest.
 Non-Union Squad. A special squad of non-union weavers was reported at work at the Pemadquid mill this morning. New Bedford's 3O.000 operatives ! are almost all involved in today's strike. Only two big bills. the Bea- con and the Dartmouth, are operat- 1 ing today without q wage cut. 1 Twenty-six cotton mills and two small mills are target ts of the opera [ lives protests. One of the two silk i mills struck last week because of is sues beside the wage question. Outlook Is serious.
 As this city is primarily dependent upon its mills the prospect ahead ! fter months of general depression is fraught with serious consequence: to the whole city. As evidence O II, 1,..- 1 n nouncements Of radical curtailmen in operation of the city government Employes Of the city treasurer arr each to have a month off with m pay.

 Wage cut announced by the mill last Monday as effective today wa explained as necessary to keep tn plants thus running in the face o competition. It follows speeding Il of machinery, many pay adjust ments and long discussion of step necessary to revive the industr, Manufacturing opinion has not bee unanimous that lower wages woul correct the depression here and s the reduction notices came as some thing of a surprise here.

 NOT PLANNED
GAME COMMISSION DENIES RE- PORT CONSIDERING AER-
 IAL REGULATIONS

After it's attention had been call ed by telegrams to reports current in other parts of the Territory that it was contemplating regulations restricting the uce of airplanes by hunting parties, the Alaska Game Commission, thru the Juneau Elm pife, issued a statement formally denying there is any foundation for such reports.
 Since it has been in session there, Ithe Commission received several Itelegrams indicating that an inn Ipression existed in certain quarters that it was about to regulate against the use of airplanes in hunting fields.
 In denyinG the correctness o. such impression. Dr. w. H. Chase, president of the Board said: Tt is mot the policy of the Commission to undertake to regulate transporta- .tion of hunting parties by airplane or otherwise. The Commission does mot consider this to be a part of it's functions and las at no time had in mind any such action. It is at la loss to account for repon $ inttl- Icating to the contrary"
 Two years ago, Dr. Chase added. reports were received by the Com mission to the effect that injury to the breeding flocks of sheep had been caused by airplaneS flying low over lambing grounds. At that time it asked it's own Wardens ard guides in the field and others, to observe IconditionS and report any sucu in- stances that might be noticed. Not single occurance of the kind has been reported
 Tt is conceivable that planes scouting in the spring for good hunting a1eas might cause sor1e damage to flocks If they flew at too low as the sheep would be easily alarmed. We called attention of the airplane companies to this dan

It is not part of our duty to regulate transportation and the Commission does not desire to do so. Further. it will do anything that # can to promote the develop ment of earial transportation in tho Territory rather than seek to place any restrictions in it's way" he con- cludcd.
