Sept. 2.—While the American World Fliers were resting here yes-

' airways, naval officers and correspondents first heard of.the (lam-
gers they had encountered and the heroism required to make

To Lieutenant Arnold. Smith's as-
sistant, goes the credit for bringing
the flag plano over the final lap of
the Atlantic Jump. While forty-
four miles from Labrador Smith's
engine flooded and threatened to put
the leading plane out of the flight
by a forced landing. The chief trou-
ble. the aviators found, was the fail-
ure of a, pump to properly function.
Lieutenant Arnold pumped gaso-
line into the engine for four hours
mechanically, two strokes a minute.
According to Smith, only Arnold‘s
marvellous courage kept the plane
going. Arnold modestly iold-report-
ers that his feat was nothing. be-
cause after the first half hour of
pain. he explained. numbed his
arm and shoulder into complete in-
sensibility.
When the two remaining planes in
the round-the-world adventure
alighted on coastal waters of the
American continent at Indian Har-
bor. Labrador. they left behind them
the most trying and longest stretch
of their journey—the passage of the
Atlantic. They had said before ad-
venturing on the Atlantic that the
most arduous part of their voyage
had been the flight northward along
Alaska, but the hops over the Pacific
which were expected to be the most
difficult water jumps, were taino
compared with those over the sister
ocean.
As originally mapped the Atlantic
appeared as a. mere succession of
hops. These were: 370 miles from
Hull. England. to Kinkwall. in the
Orkney Islands; 275 to Tliorshavn,
in the Faroe Islands: 360 to Horna-
fjord. Iceland; 339 to Re} kjavik.
Iceland: 500 to Angmagsalik. Green-
land; 135 to lvigtut. Greenland, and
.1572 to Labrador.
Series of Delays.
From Kirkwell in tho Orkneys it
was delay after delay and a succes-
sion of postponemcnls necessitated
by bad weather. Finally the jumps
to Thorshavn and to llornafjbrd
were confined in one. ' There came
what appeared to be a clearing and
the start was made.
Lieut. Nelson succeeded in making
his way through the fog that set in
despite the. cheering reports of the
patrol fleet along the flight. and
reached Iceland. Lieut. Smith and
Licut. Leigh \Vade turned back in
the. thick of the murk to Kirkwall.
They set off the following day in
the wake of Nelson. and Liout. Smith
got through. Lleul. \‘Vade was
forced down near the Faroes by en<
gine trouble. lie could not rise
again and was picked up by a'Rrit-
ish trawler. His plane was taken in
tow by the destroyer Billingsley to
the. cruiser Richmond. While it was
being hoisted to the deck of the
cruiser the falls parted and the pro-
peller and a pontoon were broken.
”Wade was out of the flight.
A clearing in the persistent fog
enabled Smith and Nelson. whom he
had joined at Hornafjord, to move
on in Reykjavik. where they became
weather hound. Ice. released from
Arctic waters by unusually warm
weather. combined with the fog in
bottling them up.
All Harbors Ice-Locked.
The supply "steamship Gertrud
Rask. furnished by the Danish Gov-
ernment, became caught in an ice
field near Angmagsallk and drifted
Off with it. The cruiser Raleigh set
out from Reykjavik in search of a
haven for the flyers on the Green-
land coast and found all the harbors
icedocked.
There was talk of abandoning the
flight. but ”put. Smith. in command.
would not listen to suggestions of
giving up.
Attempts were made to establish
bases at Julianehaab and Frederiks-
dal. on the southwest coast of Green-
land. near Cape Farewell. It was
figured the. flycrs coulrl negotiate the
780 miles to there, as they had cov-
ered 860 miles from Chlcagoff, Attu
Islands. to Paramushir. in the Jap-
anese. Kurils, their longest single

solutions hearing on the subject of
support of certain candidates.
"1 am not going at this convention
to further advise toward a. situation
as I have studied and wassocisted
with it. then I did at the conven-
tions we held in Merlden. Water-
bury., Bridgeport. Stamford and New
Haven. ‘ ' .
“At. these convention I sdvtsed
that we take no part in furthering
any political party. but to follow
along the non-partisan lines of poll-
tical progressiveness."
Mental Ability lackingjie Says.
“The great majority of‘our work-
ing people have physical and mec-
hanical ability. but when election
seasons come around their mental
ability is sadly lacking." Mr._
O'Meara said. "I am safely predict-
ing that 95 per cent. of the working
people do not give careful thought.
to the value of our right to vote" he
declared.
Discussing the question of legisla-
clared the legislature of 1925 "will
be called upon to remedy many of
the existing evils now amongst us."
“\Ve as organized wOrkers are to
vote, like all other eligible electors.
for men and women. aspiring for
political honors in Connecticut who
must guarantee support to us in
this proposed work," he said.
Referring to the proposed child
labor amendment to the federal con-
stitution he predicted that legislative
ratification of the amendment would
be vigorously opposed. He appealed
"to the fair minded
Connecticut to favor ratification."
“And if. nothing else is accom-
plished in our legislative plans." do-
clareai Mr. O‘Meara. “we must use
our moral financial forces to change
the law pertaining to the appoint-
ment of the public utilities com-
mission of the state. The work and
decisions of this commission to my
mind should: be brought nearer to
the people of, our state. and the
manner of doing this is to pass laws
providing for the election of the
public utilities commission by the
people."
criticised Trade Schools.
President O'Mesr; criticised the
trade schools of the state, asserting
that most schools in the state at—
tempting this work are “farcical in
the final results." He urged trade
union cooperation with employers
and town officials "who will pledge
their support to schools that. will
leach‘llle trades in full. including
academics."
"Vl‘e must ask for compliatc revi-
sion of the compensation laws of the
state." he said. He called attention
to the fact that the presentihw as
passed in 191: when “wages were
neagiy one half what they are today,
w: rents 20,6 to 300 e
than in 1913." D Y CM“. more
Mr. O'Mcara advocated defeat of
the proposed plan of the national
Government for a federal depart-
ment of education. He urged that
pledges, enacted from candidates

Connecticut is indirectly aiding this
human smuggling by permitting
many of its road building contractors
to assist smuggling agents? Do you
know that the state permits shacks
and camps to house laborers where
it is easy to store away the strangers
and there in these camps’it has been
known that many’of these smuggled
men have been brought by agents
engaged in this illicit work? I trust
ey will be made
by our labor organization and if
necessary an investigation as to why
those conditions go on."
