Amundsen Expects Drift
To Carry Him Across Pole;
Starts Out From Nome

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3O.-Trails
blaZed across the Arctic ice pack a
quarter Of a century ago by Fritjof
hansen, Norwegian explorer, were ex-
pected to be followed for distance. by
Nansen's fellow countryman, Captain
Road Amundsen, discover of the
South Pole, when he left Nome, Alas
ka, recently on an attempt to drift
across or near the North Pole.
Hansen, in 1895, attempting the
same drift, sailed around Russia and
Siberia and locked his boat, the Fran.
in the ice Off the New Siberian Is
lands, which lie in the Arctic north of
Siberia. Amundsen, on leaving Nome,
said he planned to sail to the same
New Siberian Islands, let his boat, the
Maude, freeze in the ice and then al
low the winds and currents to carry
him where they wished.
Explorers theories that an Arctic
Ocean current starts near the New ST.
beran Islands, runs through the Polar
sea, across or near the Pole, and final
ly ends at Greenland, in the Atlantic,
were used by both hansen and Amund
sen as base upon which they made
their plans.
Existence Of the current has been
disputed by many Arctic authorities.

Polar basin was much deeper than he
has believed. He also discovered that

Pole and later cleared the ice near
Greenland. When the drifting Fran
arrived at the SIND parallel, hansen
attempted to reach the Pole over the
ice. With one companion he left the
skip and, in what has been described
as the most daring sledge journey ever
undertaken, proceeded to the Seth de-
gree, at that time, the farthest north
ever reached by man. There he turned
back.

Dems. and LabOr's
Fifteen Points

SPOKANE, June 27.-President
Samuel Gompers and his associates
Of the American Federation of Labor
went before the resolutions com
mittee to press their IS points of
organized labor's desires. These de-
mands were flatly rejected by the
Republicans so if the Democrats care
to voice an ambiguous lip friend
ship for a few Of the most ordinary
aspirations Of labor then Gompers
VIII be free to pledge his following
to the Democratic party.
Whether the Gompers party expect
the Democrats to smile upon them is
not easy to iunge from the remarks
of Mathew Vol, vice president of the
federation who said today:
IF both the Democratic and Re
publican parties take a stand against
Labor, it is hard to say what will re-
suit, but Labor may find it necessary
to seek some other party. At first
the Labor vote would be split be-
tween the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. And some Of US may vote
for that man in jail, Eugene V.
Debs.
There must be somewhere in the
United States party that repre-
sents the ideas and needs of the peo-
pie and will respond to their neeessi-
ties"
OF similar interest are the remarks
of Rabbi Jacob Nieto, chairman of
the local Committee of As. who last
night urged upon his followers the
need for a union by the Labor party
and Forty-eighters with the Social
lists. He said the reactionaries would
triumph whichever of the old par
ties won and could only be beaten by
union of the three elements first
named.
