cannot eat the scenery. When the manufa cturers can swing the city gov errment so that the city makes pres ent of part of it's harbor to the rail- road the machinists and toolmakers readily see that they are up against too strong a combination to receive as fair a consideration as would be accorded them in towns where the owners of factories are not in com bination to keep labor bottled up.
 Many of the rnachinists employed with the Singer Co. felt the iron hand in the velvet glove recently when the shop shut down for three weeks. Many of them could not afford to be out of work that long. and they went else where to look for work At shops where the sign help wanted hung out employers asked the men where they had worked before. They said Sin gers and they were told to come in again. It was impossible for ma chinist from the sewing machine shop to get work in another factory in the city.
 "When American citizens are herded together upon the books of the Manu- lecturers Association as the property of one concern not to be employed by any other mill, wage slavery that the Socialists are harring about seems to be with us, and the best weapon that the average skilled mechanic has to fight such conditions with is the price 
 "The Farmer stated last night that it was likely that the Manufacturers Association would be compelled to ask for a relaxation of the contract alien law in order to find the help that is needed. They do not have to ask to have the law relaxed for no doubt the news of the jobs open in Bridgeport has reached the other side by this time, and if they will give the steam ships time enough to get through quarantine they will have enough help here of both sexes. and plenty to spare.
 "Tbey do not want ito think that our fellow workers from the other side of the big pond have been slow in sending letters of the boom here to their cousins and brothers they left behind. From the looks of things the first law one that says children under 16 years of age and women shall not work over 58 hours a week.
 ''If Connecticut expects to maintain it's prominence as the home of skilled mechanics its government will have to cease being run exclusively for the mill builders instead of the home builders"
 The representative of the union was asked what he meant when he said that the tool rooms of the big shops were running at full blast during the recent hard times. He replied: livery concern in the city that shut down be- fore election was playing politics. The tool rooms were kept running and hundreds of tools made in advance and stored away for the boom times that were sure to come. If the man ufacturers were not confident of good times again. they would not have spent thousands for tools a year or more ahead of the time they would be used"

Weather Indications

New Haven, Sept. Abreast: showers tonight and Sunday; Mon day fair.
 A trough of low pressure extends from Kansas northeastward to the lake region. It has produced during the past "A hours cloudy and unsettled weather with local showers in the northern sections from the Rocky Mountains eastward to New York. This area will pass out the St. Law renee valley tonight and Sunday. An extended area of high pressure with low temperatures is moving in rapidly from the northwest. Havre, Mont, reported a temperature of 32 degrees with killing frosts.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity unsettled weather with local showers tonight and Sunday, probably clear ing Sunday night and Monday fair and cool.

 STARS AND STRIPES
 ''I planted the Stars and Stripes on a staff on April 21st, 1908, and broke the flag out to the breeze. And my God, I tell You it was cold. With the mercury scores of degrees below zero, my blood ran hot and there on that God forsaken spot I realized, as never have before, the true meaning of patriotism and love of the old flag. The next day, April 22, I realized, own, could last more than few
 hours in the young gale that was blowing, so I took down the bunting
 as saw that within week 1t would be whipped to shreds. I took an other flag, placed it in a cylinder Or, top of the staff, which I planted on the site of the pole. I now rolled up the flag had first raised. I sincere ly hope the feat of my discovery will be duplicated and the evidence of my discovery found. But unless this du- plication is made at an early date l have grave doubts as to the proba- bility of my flag being found exactly in latitude 90 because of the drift of the ice fields. I think it quite pos sible that the fields, which marked the site of the pole when I was there, will move in an easterly direction and
 be supplanted by another. I'm not at all sure of this, however, as I am unable to state the extent of the drifts. OBSERVATIONS AT POLE | 'The entire two days I spent at the pole with the sole exception of the time actually consumed in eating and sleeping, was devoted to making ob- i servations The weather was ideal for this purpose and my instruments were in perfect order. The mists which have popularly been supposed | to surround the polar regions were not | in evidence. I had seXtant, pock- ct watch and three good chronomet- CTS, all of them more modern instru- ments than were ever used by an eX-
 plorer in the extreme far north. | verified all of my observations and calculations carefully, having taken observations every day from the S5th l degree of latitude until I reached the pole.
 q appreciate fully the justice of the | scientists demands for proof but am
 not worrying on that score. I am
 confident that the accuracy and com | pleteness of my record will satisfy the | scientific world. The opinion of the public at large, of course, will be | based on the verdict of the scientific | world"
 "It is true that the outfit carried was not very extensive but it would | be the height of error to suppose from | this that I was not thoroughly pre-
 pared for the hazardous undertaking. | I calculated the thing to a nicety, fig uring out just what I would have to

 Chairman Mack in speaking of the Democratic conference to be held in New York state next Tuesday said he believed it was good thing. but that he would not be in attendance as he did not think it was the place for the national chairman to be.
 Senator Archibald McNeil called up on MT. Mack this afternoon and had a social chat with him.
 Mr. Mack is the owner of the Buff faIo Times and the National Monthly. James W. Reilly, who is secretary to MT. Mack is also associate editor of the National Monthly. He is a former resident of Derby. Conn.,. and was em- ployed on several newspapers about the state.

Not little comment was occasion
 d throughout the city last night as a result of the publication in The Far uer yesterday of local labor condi- tions. The local Machinists' union at their regular session last evening made the matter the subject Of their principal discussion. Extracts from the publication were read and debat- ed and 1t was the consensus of opin- Ion that the machinists speaking for one branch of organized labor should note such exceptions to the article as ahey deemed advisable and issue a statement for publication in The Far u1er. As a result of this action the subjoined statement was to-day sub mitted to the Farmer in behalf of the Machinists' Union:
 During the recent business depres- sion when the machine and tool de- partments of all of the big concerns were running at full blast and all other departments were at a standsthi or on short time, out of town me chanics were given preference to resi- dents of this city who walked the streets and were obliged to seek em- turers' Association claims that It has no blacklist but for causes unknown to the workers many local mechanics have lost their positions and others have been put right j>1 their places.
 saThe strangers in the town have al : ways been given the preference In good or bad times and the union ma chinists believe that it is now up to them to move wherever the pest money is being paid. The treatment of men who have stayed with concerns for years rather than be kept moving does not inspire the old time loyalty that a man used to have for the shop where he worked.
 "The agents who have been hiring help here for out of town concerns come from Michigan. Ohio. Pennsyl- yania. and Rhode Island. They are holding out inducements that offer better wages, shorter hours and condi- lions if they can only get the men. Most of the men would rather remain in Connecticut, but the money induce ments and the short hours have been an attraction for them to go to the Buick Motor Works at Flint, M1cn1gan' The National Cash Register Co. of Day ton. Ohio, the Taft-Pierce Co. Of Paw tucket, R. l., the General Electric Co at Lynn. Mass, and the Dr1ggs-Sea- bury Co at Sharon, Penn.
 'sThe trend of the times in Bridge hort since the Manufactures Assoc1a- lion was organized has been to treat Skilled help the same as the greenest laborers. and it would not be a. sur prise if the use of names was abolished absolutely in the future to give way to the number system.
 seThe union men realize the truth or the statement made by the man1lfac- t,1rers in the Farmer last night-that F9ridgeport being situated on the wa fer is one of the finest cities in the country. but fine sites and water do not keep a man employed, and a man

It is probable that when Dr. Fred erick A. Cook, the pole explorer, re- turns to America his records-the chronicle of his observations on the dash for the pole-wil1 be first submit
 ted to Superintendent Tittman, chief of the United States coast and geodetic survey, who is credited with knowing more about observations concerning longitude and latitude than any other scientist in this country. MT. Titt- man declares there is little room for doubt that Cook reached the pole and that a mere glance at his record of observations will enable any scientist to detect any irregularity. Cook was

Copenhagen, Sept. 1.-The truth or falsity of Dr. Frederick A. Cooks claim to the discovery of the North Pole is to be passed upon by the In- ternationaI Polar Exploration Bureau, with headquarters at Brussels, where the American explorer will appear in person and submit his data.
 Late this afternoon Dr. Cook ac- cepted the invitation of the bureau, expressing at the same time his pleas ure at having this body pass upon hls claims It is conceded that this will be the severest possible test that the story could be subjected to.
 Dr. Cook will meet his wife in Brus- sells One of the first desires he ex' pressed on arrival here was that his wife join him as speedily as poss1ple.
 Never in the history of Copenhagen has a foreign visitor either private citizen or member of Royalty been ac- corded such a demonstration as was eiven the intrepid American explorer when he stepped ashore from the staunch little government vessel the Hans Egede at 10 o'clock to-day. Roy alty and citizens forgot all social bar riers in the enthusiasm of the moment and as the man of the hour came down the gangplank, on the arm Of crown Prince Christine. the pair together with Prince Vladimar, and United
 
 were engulfed in a swirling maelstrom of humanity and almost swept from their feet So eager were the people for a chance to grip Dr. Cooks hand that the discoverer's well worn clothes were literally torn from his back and when the police finally rescued pr. Cook and his escort and got them safe ly into the waiting automobile the doctor surveyed himself with a rue fr1l glance and remarked to MT. Egan: "I've played football but l never struck anything worse than that" So genuine were the evidences Of joy on the part of the populace and 1 so plain was it that something more | than mere curiosity prompted their I actions. that the mishaps Of the strenuous hour were soon forgotten. 1 Asked if he would return to the scene of his triumph Dr. Cook replied:
 "Once is enough for any man. l l will never return to the North Pole. | A single experience of the sort I have passed through will suffice for life | time."
 Later in the day, however, during an interview with King Frederick he was asked by His Majesty what next feat he would attempt and Dr. Cook replied with a smile: 'I'm not quite sure but I would certainly like to have look at the other pole''

turn of the daring explorer, but no one is quite as anxious to see him ana hear from his own lips the story Of his achievement as his wife and little daughters. When he turned his back upon the pole the magnet that quick. ened his steps over the hundreds Of heartbreaking miles of arctic snow and ice was the little household in Brooklyn where such a joyous vel come awaits him. The accompanying picture of the Cook family was taken Cnly recently. The pictures of the dog train and John R. Bradley, packer of the Cook expedition, were taken during the hunt previous to the dash for the pole.

GIFT TO POLICE FUND
MT. and Mrs. Bakers Do- nation In Memory of De- ceased Son.

Superintendent of Police Birming- ham received the following letter this morning from MT. and Mrs. Frederick D. Baker, of 269 Barnum avenue, whose son, Harold, was buried last Sunday:
 Eugene B. Birmingham. Superintend- ent of Police.
 Dear Sir: Enclosed is check for $10O for the Police Sick Benefit Association as per wishes of our son. Harold Bak- CT, who died a short time ago.
 Thanking you for your kindness to him in the past also for all you did for us at the time of his funeral last Sunday,
 We are very truly yours,

equipped with an ordinary sextant, compass and transit, all of which any mariner can use. In the six months of daylight during which he was on the polar ice he was easily able on every clear day to arrive at his exact bearings. Had it been night instead of day when pr. Cook was at the pole the use of instruments would not even have been necessary in arriving at the degree of latitude 90, for the position of the pole star would have fixed his exact position. MT. Tittman regards the criticisms of pr. Cooks statement that he reached the pole as purely academic All America is waiting with the keenest interest for the re-

himself this afternoon Dr. Cook re- ceived the highest enconiums of praise for his Arctic explorations. Ac- companied by American Minister and was received by Frederick, the Queen and the Royal Princess. The audience with the King lasted an hour, Frederick insisting on having as much of the dramatic story as pos sible from the lips of the worlds greatest explorer At the end of the recital the King said:
 sI cannot compliment you too high ly. It is an honor to Denmark to have you land here first. I am ex- able to lend you assistance on your homeward way. I say unquallfedly that I consider your achievement an immense contribution to science and can only admire the intrepid force that enabled you to reach the long cherished goal.
 | America is justly proud of her great son, for you typify your coun- | try and her great ambitions and des- tiny.''
 | After leaving the palace Dr. Cook
 made another triunpha1 trip back to
 the hotel, every house along the thor | oughfares being decorated with Dan
 ish and American flags. Invitations
 poured in upon the explorer to-day
 from every geographical society in
 Europe and America. The Hamburg
 Society of Hamburg, Germany, has in vited him to that city as it's guest.
 The only invitations yet accepted are
 those of the International Polar Ex- ploration Bureau and Copenhagen
 Geographical Society, before which he
 has promised to appear. There was
 much comment when Frederick did not decorate Dr. Cook. It is almost certain that a decoration will be be-
 slowed upon him before he leaves the

HIS RECORDS AS PROOF.

Copenhagen, Sept 4.-"Once is enough for any man. will never re- turn to the North Pole. A single ex- perience of the sort I have passed through will suffice for a lifetime.'
 The above was practically the first answer given by Dr. Frederick A. Cook, Brooklynite, discoverer of the North Pole and man of the hour, to the volley of questions fired at him in half a dozen different tongues by the regiment of newspapermen, represent ing the press of the entire world, who boarded the Hans Egede just as she steamed into the harbor here at 9:30 a. m. today.
 While admitting as a probability the fact that the drifting nature of the vast stretches of ice covering the site of the pole will doubtless remove the evidence he left there on April 21 and 22.190S, the date of the discovery, Dr. Cook stated that his records and ob- seryations when presented to scfen-
