ton the executive board takes will.
of necessity, be referred to the union,
and it is probable that an extra meet
ing will be called to act on what the
executive board recommends. 1t is
believed that the trouble might be
ended by the American Federation OF
Labor allowing the charter to con.
tinue, in case the electrical workers
are unseated. 1t was also stated that
the electrical workers might relieve
the situation by voluntarily withdraw
| ing from the central body.
Harry Meyers, local head OF the
faction called by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor the secessionists
said last night:
The electrical workers OF st. Louis
will not, believe, force the Contra
Trades and Labor Union to the poin
of losing its charter We will with
draw from membership if by remain
ing we would disrupt the union.
Meyers stated that he would be pres
ent at the meeting of the executive
board and would lay the case befor
them, If called upon.

night.
We arrived at the pole at noon
April 6, the party consisting Of the
Commander, myself. four Eskimos,

Having completed snow houses,
we had dinner, including tea made
on our alcohol stove, then retired
and slept one night at the pole.
Flags were hoisted at noon next
day on tent poles tied with fish lines
When We first raised the Ameri-
can flag its position was behind the
Igloss, which according to the initial
observations was the position of the
pole, but after subsequent observa-
tions, the flag was moved and placed
$50 yards west of the first position.
Il proposed in Eskimo three
cheers, which were given in the Es-
kimo's tongue. Peary shook hands
all around, we had liberal dinner,
and the Eskimos danced and showed
pleasure that the pole was reached"
Hansen said the conditions were
about the Same at the pole as else
where in tae Arctic circle. All was
solid ice, but there was a two-fcot
lead Of open water two miles from the
pole
Hansen says he saw Peary write
the records left in the ice. The flags
were placed on a hummock twenty
feet in height.
