Personal Government drunken with

Federation Head Asserts
British Affair Stimulated
Worlds Interest.

By the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 17.-In their
economic organization lies the hope
of the wage earners for the future,
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
clared in an address yesterday at q
mass meeting called by the Minnesota
Federation of Labor.
Representatives of organized labor
and the Catholic Church attended the
meeting, which was called to celebrate
the thirty-fifth anniversary of the is
suance by Pope Leo XIII of his en-
cyclical letter Labor and Capital" -"
and to assist the trade unions in
furthering their educational work.
At present, Mr.. Green said, ap-
parently referring to the British situa-
ton, the thoughts and attentions of
the people Throughout the world are
centered upon the problems Of labor
and the relationship between labor
and capital"
Recent events" he added have
stimulated and intensified this in
terest in industrial questions and in
dustrial relationships"
The federation head asserted that
even now, III an enlightened period of
industrial development, there are
found some employers and some
large corporations who deny their
workers the right TO enjoy cod
lective bargaining, or TO organize
for mutual helpfulness. and that
is this sort of policy that creates
"class warfare. class antagonism and
social unrest"
To those who oppose the organiza-
ton of the workers, Mr.. Green re-
ferred Pope Leo's letter. in which, he
said. the case of organized labor was
presented with such "unanswerable
logic" as to confound it's enemies and

ABOARD TIE S. S. CHANTIER,
KINGS BAY. May II (By Wireless).-
All the members of the Byrd expedi-
ton were greatly relieved late Satur-
day night when a bulletin told them
that Capt. Amundsen and Lincoln
Ellsworth were safe, and a search
party would, therefore, be unneces-
Sary.
The work of reloading the planes
and other material aboard the Chan
tier was ordered commenced this
morning, and the carpenter, c. f.
Gold, with gang began the recon
Struction of the pOntoon raft which
had been broken up by the grinding
drift ice. simultaneously Floyd Ben
nett, Lieut.. Neville. T. II. Kincaid
and a. \. Parker started dismantling
the Josephine Ford and the Oriole
gathering up gasoline, oil, tools and
parts scat cred about on shore.
The en- ineer'S force of the Chan
tier has practically completed clean
ing the engines and boilers, and prob
ably will get up steam tomorrow.
Every spare man aboard is working
at shifting coal from the hold to the
he ready to sail Wednesday or Thurs
day
Yesterday evening two parties went
hunting in small boats and shot nine
seals, which the ice pilot skinned this
morning.
Yesterday the largest iceberg in
Kings Bay drifted menacingly along
side the Chantier, and Capt. Brannan,
fearing danger to the rudder and pro-
peller, sent ashore for blasting pow
der. The berg proved a tougher Gus
toner than expected. but after blast
ing away all day it was finally broken
up and drifted off, not. however. be-
fore the decks were literally strewn
with fragments, and several of the
crew narrowly missed being hit by
flying pieces.
Comdr. Byrd announced that he
would not call at any intermediate
ports on the way home, but would
make direct for London, where he will
spend four or five days, to give the
members of the expedition and crew
an opportunity at sightseeing and
recreation. Most Of them will spend
the entire holiday in London, but a
few, including Lieut.. Neville, and per
haps Comdr. Byrd, will take an air
plane trip to Paris.

had taken at least 10000 square miles
off the map and brought that much
area from the unknown to the known

gratifying.
Again 1 took my hat off to avia-
