Gambling Joint Raided Saturday Night
45,0oo WORKERS WITH 40 BANDS
 TO PARADE IN NEW YORK CITY.
Women's Trades Union League to Ride
 in Automobiles.

New York, SepN 5.-With no strike of consequence in progress in Greater New York except the matters, Labor day tomorrow will find more marchers in line for the great annual parade and more of them with jobs to return to- when the celebration is over, than last year. At 10 o'clock approximately 45,000 workers and forty bands, repre- senting fifty-nine unions of the Central Federated union, will begin their pro- cession down Fifth avenue from Gen. tral park to Washington square. Near ly all the unions will wear distinctive uniforms and the Women's Trade Un- ion league will ride in automobiles, drawing eight floats.
 In the afternoon there will be games athletic, events and speeches all over the city.
 New York, Sept. 5.-James Duncan. first vice president of the American Federation of Labor, issued the fol- lowing Labor day appeal here today to the workingmen of the entire country:
 Where parades are in evidence, march with heads erect, proud of your calling and your cause, and bear yourself throughout with the noble dignity becoming to unoin freemen.
 Let your addresses in the halls and hustings be respectful of the laws and institutions of our country, for by do- ing so you will symbolize, the true union man who, while he may desire changes of acts which he believes are oppressive, knows he is a citizen of a republic and will go about the neces- sary change in a deliberate manner becoming to true citizenship.
 Use no apologetic tone, for -ou are right in your purpose; apologies are out of order except for wrong doing. Add cheerfulness to the sentences composing the Labor day address: it is not a Funeral procession that is be- ing addressed. Be hopeful in the gen. eral tone of your remarks, which will best beit the occasion. for we have enough of the sorrowful to contend with during the other 364 days of the year."

AT THE POLE THE ICY PLAIN
 TOOK ON ANIMATED MOTION
As if Rotating on an Invisible Pivot
 Eskimos Prostrated with Fear.

Paris, Sept 5.-A desp1tch from Co., penhagen gives Dr. Cooks version of further incidents of his expedition to the pole. when there remained but two valiant and faithful Eskimos as an escort as he plunged over the vast extent of polar seas. On approaching the pole, he said, the icy plain took on animated motion, as if rotating on an invisible pivot. "A great Assure then opened up behind" he added, and it seemed as if we were isolated from the world. My two Eskimos threw themselves at my feet, and, bursting into tears, refused to continue either one way or another, so para lyzed were they with fear. Neverthe- less, I calmed them and we resumed our journey.
 You ask my impression on reach ing the pole. Let me confess I was disappointed. Man is child dream ing of prodigies. I had reached the pole and now at a moment when I should have been thrilled with pride and joy I was invaded with a sudden fear of the dangers and sufferings of the return"
