MEN DEMANDING THEY GET BACK
 TO THEIR JOBS
Union Forces, Convinced They Can't Win, Look
 ing for Way Out
WORKERS CALL MASS
 MEETING TOMORROW
Those Desiring to Work Will Gather in A. B. Hall
 at 10 Tn Morning

Sentiment in favor of returning to work appeared today to be crys- talking among mine workers.of the Alaska Juneau who walked out 27 days ago as conferences continued to be held by the disputing factions with Federal Conciliator Dewey Knight. There was indication that leaders of the Unicn forces were convinced tkey could not get their demands and that they were look ing for way out Of the difficulty. Nell Heard, Secretary of the Alaska Mine Workers Union who was arrested yesterday on a cri- minal libel charge, said this morn ing that hs believed things were working toward a settlement.
 Sees Settlement Near
 This talk of Reds, deportation, the election held by the city ane now the stuff you hear about vigilante committee always is heard in these strikes he said, and when they are out of the system things usually work around to settlement"
 Though Heard did not comment on the reported waning strength of the strikers, 1t was understood from other sources that the Union leaders were pretty well convinced that their cause could not succeed but they still hoped for some agree ment that would not entirely de- moralize their ranks. It also was understood that some of the men, reported to have led in the walk out, were concerned about their own chances for returning to work at the mine as a result ol their activity.
 Hcid rarade
 In an effort to bolster the ap- parently diminishing strike senti- ment, Union members mustered some 225 men for a brief parade from their headquarters on lower Front street last night. The group was reported made up of mins workers, members of the Juneau League, longshoremen and several pensioners tmen draw ing pensions from the Territory. Estimates on the number in tho parade, which proceeded along Front street to Seward, on Seward to Second, across on Second to Franklin and back down to Front where it disbanded, varied from 200 to 225. A spokesman for the Union said the parade was held in an effort to reveal the Union strength.
 Netting This Morning
 In the meantime men represent- ing the workmen who wish to, re- turn to work were completing plans today for mass meeting tomor- row morning to, further talk, over the walkout and endeayor to move toward an early resumption of jobs, The meeting is called for 10 o'clock in the morning at the A. E. Hall at Third and Main streets. and all men desiring to return to work are being urged to attend.

 FROSH CREW IN
 NATIONAL WIN
California, Huskies, Navy Considered Strong in
 Varsity Race

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. 'Y., June 18. The University of Washington's powerful freshman crew won the first event of the thirty seventh an- nual National Collegiate rowing championships on the Hudson River here this afternoon Tn driving rain, the Seattle eight easily led home field of five shells by a three-length margin.

 The Seattle crew took the lead at the half-mile mark in the two- mile event and tore the race wide open. California, which was defeat- ed by the Huskies on the Pacific Coast earlier this year, alone could keep anything like the pace, but never threatened.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, June 1B.-- Her debt for murder marked paid in full Clara Phillips, notorious Los Angeles hammer slayer, stepped to freedom yesterday through the grim iron barred portals of Teha- chapi women's prison
 T want to go back into the world to be useful citizen and a model housewife, and to have babies,'' she said when she first sought parole many years ago.
 Whether these are still her ann bitions the former Tiger Woman has not lately disclosed. But all through the twelve years of her ncarceration-with one brief ex- ception-she has fought to keep her spirits high, to be leader in such limited enterprises as prisons per- init and not to give way to the stir" melancholia, which is the most dreaded of prison ailments.
 Convicted Of second degree mur- der for the brutal staying of AL serta Meadows July 12, 1922, Mrs. Phillips, then twenty-four years old entered San Quentin penitentiary June 3. 1923, under sentence of ten years to life.
 Pris0n Leader
 With her came such a fanfare of publicity as has seldom been equaled. This, added to her stately beauty and commanding person. ality soon marked her as the social leader of prison life.
 Taking advantage of the posi- tion accorded her, the Tiger Woman at once plunged into prison activi- ties. She had brought saxophone and soon had an orchestra organ ized With it and her natural abil- ity as an entertainer-she is a former chorus girl-she became a star attraction on the Christmas time and other fete day programs Also she became a contributor to the San Quentin paper, and a re- ligious devotee.
 Only once did her spirits reach low ebb Into the gray San Quen- tin life came a challenger for Mrs. Phillips social supremacy. This was Mrs. Louise Peete, Los Angeles murderess, sentenced for the kill ing of prominent oil man.
 A bitter feud developed between the two women, and on September 6, 1927 Mrs. Phillips attempted to take her own life. Prison grape vine' said it was because of the nagging and irritations which Mrs. Peete directed at her unceasingly.
 The murder of Alberta Meadows ranks high in the states chronog- raphy of crime. both because of it's exceeding cruelty and because of the seeming callous indifference with which her slayer regarded its aftermath.
 The body of the pretty young stenographer was found in a lonely spot on Montecito Drive, the head crushed by repeated blows from a hammer and the torso mutilitated : Investigators learned of bitter :

Talking About the Airport.

The Federal Aviation Commission
enthusiastically joins the chorus of
those who talk about the need for an
adequate airport for the National
Capital, but who find themselves un-
able to do anything beyond talking.
Agreeing with practically every COM
petent authority that has studied the
local situation, the commission finds
that the lack of an adequate airport
in Washington constitutes a nuisance
and a civic shame" and recommends
to Congress that model air terminal
should be created here at once.
But if the commissions recomenda-
tions go the way of others, nothing
will be done. For the local airport
situation has been stepchild for
many years, with no governmental
agency being able or willing to assume
responsibility and the local COM
munity powerless to do anything of
its own accord. Congress has con-
Quoted hearings and there have been
numerous bills introduced for creating,
by one method or another, the model
airport that the Capital should have.
But these starts have gained nothing.
The Federal Aviation Commission
points to the struggle among propo-
nents of "some half dozen sites" for
an airport and urges that some agency
be given the task of making compare
tive investigations and choosing the
best one, pointing out that had this
