HAVE EVIDENCE OF
 AN ANCIENT CIVILIZATION

PRINCE RUPERT, B. C., Oct. 10. lP) -... Four mummified bodies other proof that an ancient civili- zation inhabited the Aleutian Is- lands was brought here yesterday by the Stoll-McCracken Expedition which tells Of Eskimo legends of an old civilization. These leg ends were confired by the dis coveries this summer of the expedi- tion aboard the schooner Norris sey.
 Although there were many relics and trophies of wild life aboard the schooner, what is valued most highly are the five mummified bod ies found near the summit of a mountain on one of the Aleutian Islands.
 When the expedition members sighted what proved to be sar- cophegas they opened it and uncov- cred. after considerable excavation. five mummies. all in a good state Of preservation but of an undeter- mined age. They found the tomb and visited the two compartments.
 The body of what is believed to have been a chief of the tribe lay in one compartment. It was cloth ed in otter and other valuable skins and then wrapped with many yards of straw mating. The natives said that it would take several persons weaving for months to make one of these straw mattings similar to the ones found in the inner layers of the coverings. The inner portions of the mattings were in a perfect state of preservation but the outer dozen layers appeared to have been affected by moisture.
 The mummies had apparently been treated with some preservative.
 In the same large compartment with the chief were the bodies of two children similarly wrapped. In another portion of the sarcGphega5 were the bodies of a man and wom an wrapped in mating. Fastened to the mans body were sharp ar rows and other implements of the hunter. With the woman's body were needles and mary pieces Of animal skins and sewing materials. Eskimo legends say that when a greet chief dies his seaDstress and most valuable hunter are killed an;! buried with him.
 The mumfies will b. taken to New York to determine :he,r age. The Morrissey went within two hundred and forty miles If Point Barrow but was then blocked by lfe ice fields.

HOUSE He AIRING
ON MERGER
s. |

The House District Committee to-
day decided to begin considera-
ton Of the traction merger agree
n1eat between the Public Utilities
Commission and the companies in
public hearings Friday morning at
1880 o'clock.
The committee voted to hold the
hearings before the full committee.
instead of before the Public Utilities
subcommittee. j
There was no discussion of the
merits of the merger agreement at
the meeting of the committee today.
Representative Frederick N Zihl-
man OF Maryland, chairman, merely
asked the committee what procedure
IT wanted to follow in considering
the merger plan.
Full Committee to Sit
Representative FlOrian Lampert OF
Wisconsin, suggested that because
of the importance of the subject, the
hearings should be held before the
full committee. A motion to that
effect by Representative Ernest w.
Gibson Of Vermont, was passed
unanimously.
Chairman Zih'man then announced
that the hearings would begin Fri
day morning, in the House District
Committee room.
The proposal of joint hearings
was discarded after several members
OF the Senate committee had regis.
tered opposition to this procedure,
believing 1t would result in confusion
and in a general pulling at cross
purposes.
The new situation apparently is
favorable to the local groups who are
fighting against hasty action by Con.
gress on the merger and want the
valuation issue thoroughly pro5ed be-
fore legislative assent is given to
Harley p. Wilson'S program.
Defeat of the joint hearings pro-
posal is a blow to the chances
for merger legislation during this
session. Joint hearings would UNI
doubtedly have expedited considera-
ton OF the plan.
In return for this blow, however,
advocates of the plan received en-.
couragement yesterday from the
Washington Chamber of Commerce
which voted its approval of the
plan.
All May ''Sit-In"

organized manufacturers attempt to
slice wages 10 per cent, and then 27,-
coo Of them struck to emphasize their
decision. The other 5000 are working
in independent mills at the old rate.
In Rhode Island both wage reduc-
lions and an attempt to knife the
eight-hour day have backed textile
workers into corner where they
must either fight or surrender. In
other mill centers of New England,
workers are squirming uneasily under
low living standards imposed by the
10 per cent cuts started last Deem
Der.
Complaining their strategy is the
division and lack of organization
among New England textile work
ers. Weavers, loom fixers and other
skilled workers are organized in New
Bedford and Fall River into the Amer
lean Federation of Textile Operatives,
an independent union. In Rhode Is
land, the United Textile Workers of
the A. F. of L. retains some strength.
Throughout New England, from
notorious Amoskeag in Manchester,
n H., down to Connecticut, the only
other form Of organization is pro-
vided by the Textile Mill Committees,
an independent group which have been
active for months. They have entered
the New Bedford fight to organize
the 10000 unskilled there and will
next direct their attention to Fall
River. Many of the committees lead
ers sprang out of the struggle in
Passaic in 1925.
