 The walkout, MT. LaVigne de- clared, was entirely due to . mis- understanding on the part of eKln- ployes which has since been satis- factorily adjusted. There was no question of a strike," he said. "AH of the men involved in the dispute have returned to work under the same conditions"
 Reports Unc0nfirmed
 The difficulty arose last week, when, according to reports, which could not be definitely confirmed in the absence from the city of MT. LaVigne, several employees of the department were dismissed and those remaining were alleged to have been told that the extra work would be divided. The men feared that the move was the first step in the insti- tuition by the company or the "speedup," according to reports. Several meetings were held by the workers during the past week in el- forts to arbitrate the dispute, but the matter hung fire until the return 10 the city of MT. LaVigne.

 Illustrating President Wilson's difflculties in the war crisis, other documents presented by Clark showed that shortly after Won Bernstoff's conversation, Wilson and other American officials were arous- ed by Great Britain's conduct and though England twas doing it's best to get into a row.
 A stenographic report of the Lansing-Von Bernstorff conversa- ton was read by Clark.
 The conversation in part:
 L. What possible methods in the use of submarines, that are effective from a belligerent standpoint, car be suggested which will comply with the law?
 B. I had always supposed that warning was to be given.
 L. The sinking of neutral vessels shows that Americans cannot trav' el with safety on neutral vessel! even. That is the serious part oi 1t and I do not know how youl government can modify submarine warfare and make 1t effective ant at the same time obey the law ant the dictates of humanity.

 railroad and hence on the main southern airline, is accustomed to planes flying overhead and residents merely noted that the evening plane from Memphis was on time.
 But from torn tree tops, observers traced the fal lof the plane. Appar- ently Pilot Marshall, one or both en- zines dead, was gliding his plane down to an emergency landing. Whether he knew he was about to land in wooded swamp will never be known. His wings caught in the tree-tops and for over hundred yards sheered them of. Then the wings went and the rest of the plane crashed into the swamp at frightful velocity.
 Pilot Prevented Fire
 Marshall, retaining his presence of mind to the end, cut of his gasoline feed lines. Though the swamp sunk of high test gasoline for quarter mile around, there was no fire.
 The plane was not subjected to a thorough inspection before 1t left Memphis because Memphis is not an inspection po;nt. airline officials said. But Pilot Marshall, taking command, looked her over carefully, they said, and found her in satisfac- tory condition. She had IA passenger places. Several passengers left her here, but their seats were taken by others and she left filled to capacity.
 The plane, Douglas of latest de- sign. was powered by two cyclone motors. Her gasoline capacity was 5l0 gallons and she had last refueled at Nashville, 225 miles east of Mem- phis. But there was no possibility of her having run out of fuel. since her fuel was splashed about the swamp for hundreds of yards. She left Memphis at 5:03 p. m., B minutes late because of headwinds encoun- tered after passing Nashville.
 Worst in History
 The accident was the worst in the history of American commercial aviation. The highest toll previously was l6 killed when transport plane crashed and burned near Oceanside, Calif., January 19, 1880. The acci- dent also broke the unusual record of American AirHnes for safety. The line had flown 186,000, coo passenger miles with 340,000 passengers with out an accident. Its last accident was June 9, 1884. when 6 plane crashed near Debrlce. N. Y.. Killing seven persons. L. o. Christy, a fisherman living near the scene of the crash, report ed that he heard the crash.
 Tt sounded like two clasp of thunder" he said.
 The wFeckage was first located by 6 party of six led by Q. Y. West American Airline manager at Little Rock. A few minutes later reporters | Of the Memphis PYess-eeimitaz reached the scene,

Waterbury is out of the question, 1t was said today, as 1t Is not centrally located in the state sufficient to meet the demands of all delegates. The state convention to elect delegates to the national convention will be held in May, 1t is understood, as late as is possible tc conform with the call for the na- tional session. The national conven- ton is scheduled to open June 23rd in Philadelphia.
