This body will meet this afternoon,
with Charles Jennings, A. F. of l..
organizer for the state, as the
principal speaker. Union leaders
say that about 1000 local factory
workers are eligible to join this
union.
Only recently, a local branch of
the walters and bartenders' union
has been formed and its member
snip is growing rapidly. This
body held its election of first per-
nanent officers yesterday.
- Union Leaders Get Busy
= The successful elimination of
the strike at the Watertown I'm
dergarment Co. has brought great
prestige to organized labor and the
union leaders hope to capitalize
On this feeling at this time. When
the undergarment workers walked
out they were unorganized, but
Within a day or two they had
formed a local branch OF the In
Sensational Ladies' Garment
Workers union, and with the sup
port of the union and the affil-
lated A. F. of L.. the strikers car
ried on an active campaign
through the seven weeks.
Solid Front of Strikers
Directed by union representa- =
tives, the strikers presented a solid
front throughout the entire strike.
It was this unity. labor men say,
which enabled the strikers to
emerge finally with satisfactory
settlement.
y The garment union now hopes
to unionize the Waterbury Apron
Co., and Is planning steps to this
end. The workers at the I. Dibner
& Co. dress shop are already in
the union fold.
Union leaders have been en-
phatic in declaring that their local
activity is decidedly not for the
purpose of causing any industrial
Unrest, but to unite local workers
for their own benefit.

Bodies In Mission House.
The bodies were brought here
and placed in the little Presbyter-
ian Mission Hospital. DR.. Henry
w. Griest, in charge, performed a
simple embalming with chemicals
Crosson brought from Fairbanks,
to prepare the bodies for the-return
journey. Both bodies testified to
the force of the crash. Rogers
skull was crushed and both legs
were broken. Posts skull was
crushed and both arms and legs
were broken.
Some personal effects found in
the plane were brought here and
spread out on the beach of the
Arctic Sea to dry. They comprised
mainly maps of Siberia, Russian
dictionaries, and notes on the Rus
sian Terrain. Post and Rogers
were on a vacation junket through
Alaska. Later Post intended flying
alone to Siberia.
The plane was left untouched.
Plans for its salvage had not been
made, but it may be next summer
before it can be taken out of this
far north port, whcih will be ice
locked within q few weeks.
In Alaska Week Ago.
Post and Rogers arrived in
Alaska a week ago. Mrs. Post had
intended accompanying them, but
there was a last minute change OF
plants and she left them at Seattle
to return to their home in Okla
homa. They had visited Alaskan
points and were en- rounte from
Fairbanks to Point Barrow. Lost
in a fog, they descended to the
river to inquire directions, and also
for Post to work on his engine
which was missing. Rogers talked
to the natives while Post worked
on the motor. Then they ate their
dinner on the bank with the ma
tives. The Eskimos watched the
swift, streamlined plane take off.
A few minutes later 1t came

night to confirm his story that
1.-THE bird men" had fallen to their
deaths. We didn't believe him
fully. Surely there must be some
mistake, We thought. Rogers and
Post couldn't be dead.
We sighted the plane when we
were about 440 yards away on the
same stream In which 1t lay.
Rogers Body Was Out
The Eskimos who had witness
ed the crash already had taken
Rogers body from the water and
had covered 1t with sleeping
bag.
Post's body was still pinned In
the debris. We attached ropes to
the plane and tried to pull 1t over.

The drum corp numbers 80 men,

to secure transportation in private

The first time the ropes broke.
Finally We pulled the plan apart
far enough to bring out the body
which was placed in a sleeping
bag.
There were papers. maps and
personal affects scattered all
around. Most or them were soggy
with salt, mud and water.
No Explosion Evidence
Although one Of the Eskimos
said there had been an explosion,
We couldn't find any evidence OF
1t. We believe the ship just failed
to bank on a takeof, the right
wing crumbling as 1t hit the wa
ter.
We placed the bodies In native

the maneuvers.
Sleep In Pup Tents
Arriving at the station, the local
place assigned them, and where
men will immediately march to the
they win proba bly, have to sleep
in pup tents at least for the first
night.
And for the next two weeks,
those who have seen service over
seas will be forcefully reminded of
it, while younger members of the
guard will be given a sample of
war conditions which may or may
not appeal to them.
The field training will parallel
in every respect the situation
which would prevail during an ac-
tual war. Because they will be
constantly on the march, over the
large area surrounding the en-
campment, and because there is a
scarcity of water in the district,
each man will be given only five
gallons per day. This must be used
for cooking, washing and bathing,
as well as drinking.
Monday All Will Be There
BY Monday, with the arrival of
the final contingent of regular
army divisions and national
guardsmen, there will be a military
community of nearly 10000 SOL
diers, equal to the population of
the largest city in the county in
which the encampment is located.
The headquarters of Major Gen.
eral Fox Conner, commander of
the First Corps, which includes
the New England divisions, has
been established at Philadelphia,
where the Waterbury troops will
unload their baggage tomorrow
morning.
Gen. Nolan In Command
Major General Dennis E. Nolan
of Governors Island, New York,
will be commander of the First
Army, the designation given to all
the troops modified at the en-
campment. During the battle prob
lens he will act as director, as
sisted by staff of $50 regular
army umpires.
1t is estimated that between 50,-
900 and $4,000 words per day will
be sent by wire to newspapers and
syndicates who have sent special
correspondents to the camp. This
output will nearly equal that of
the Hauptmann trial, which set
record.
At the armory today, all outside
communication was prohibited, the
men being allowed to leave only
for meals.
