at Battery Park, including one by
Maj. Gen. Charles P. Summerall on
the eve Of his departure to Washing
ton to become chief Of staff of the
United States Army, after serving as
commander Of the I'd Corps Area.
Miss Irene French, as Miss Broad
way, was on today's program to drop
flowers from one Of fleet of airplanes
selected to fly over the city. An item
on the program was the released Of
10000 colored balloons at noon from
the roof of the new Paramount build
ing at Times Square.
The celebration ends tomorrow
night with the formal opening Of the
new Paramount Theater, to which
4,5OO guests, including Gov. Smith,

not say how long the Norge would
remain in the Arctic regions, but
the dirigibIe carries supplies suf-
ficient to last well over six weeks.
Sledges and equipment for a land
expedition have been loaded, as
well as colIapsible boats.
The Norge will not hasten on its
way to Alaska, Captain Amudsen
said, unless weather conditions
make 1t necessary. The Norwegian
explorer is anxious to spend as
much time as possible making OBJ:
servations in the polar region and
exploring the regions beyond the
Pole.
The Norge carries the American,
the Norwegian, and Italian flags,
all OF which will be dropped at the
Pole.
Captain Amundsen is expected
here to arrive at Point Barrow
within a fortnight, and, with good
luck. the Norge may continue its
flight on to an Alaskan center.
''When we reached Spitzbergen,
the hardest part of the expedition
was over, and there need be no
thought of walking back" said
Colonel Mobile, in an interview
prior to the departure.
"Our difficulties may be increased
by fog. In the Arctic, too, our com.
passes will be not entirely reliable,
due to the eccentricity of the mag.
netic pole. We will also Use the Gun

van, because there would always
be some mine poorer than those
which are being worked which
could be worked IL wages were
reduced to it's standards.
Condemns Mine Owners
Wages in this country are de-
termined by the successful pusi-
ness institutions, not by the fail
ures. and naturally should be so
determined.
Al business which cannot afford
to pay living wages to its en-
ployes cannot exist and should
not. That fact is fundamental
TO the welfare Of the community.
The position OF the mine own
-ers, therefore, was vulnerable and
apparently the mine workers had
tho active sympathy of the vast
majority Of the British public.
Apparently the universally Of
this sympathy misled the labor
leaders into the mistake OF de-
cIaring 8 general strike. Re the
labor leaders had had The udg-
uleHt to keep the other Industries
OF Great Britain In operation,
and the workers in those ether

usual income, organized labor
would have been able to support
the coal miners strike indefinite

Just settlement, or until the gov
ernment, supported by the general
-
ceeded in adjusting the dispute on
rightfuI basis.
But the calling of g general
strike is an offensive act not
merely against the coal owners,
but against the whole community.
against the very public whose
sympathy was so strongly in
support OF the coal workers
against the government itself; be-
cause the effort is evidently to
substitute the rule Of force against
the rule of recognized authority
the effort Of some 100000 men
to substitute their will and their
method for the will and the es-
tablished system OF the 40 900 900
which constitute the community.
This fact is well recognized by
our own wise labor leader, Presi-
dent Green, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who says:
The great danger involved In
a general or sympathetic strike
is the possibility that the original
grievances, which are the primary
cause of the strike, and which
are In this case meritorious, may
be lost sight of. because Of the
charge that the general strike Is
a challenge to government and
to the existence Of government.
THE issues OF the strike be-
come obscured and the public
mind becomes confused.
Strikers Lose Sympathy
Public opinion in Great Britain
might support the workers in
their demands for the redress of
just grievances, whereas it would
solidly support the government
In it's effort to maintain control
OF the government"
The news from England would
seem to indicate that the general
strike has alienated all of the
public sympathy. which was so
powerful in support of the mere
miners strike, and that the pub
