TROMSOE, Norway, September L.
Remains of the three men who, In
1897, tried to fly across the North Pole
in balloon today were back on Nor
wegian soil after having lain imbedded
In the ice for nearly third of a CEN
fury.
The sealer Eratvaag, which had them
aboard, sailed out of the north seas
into, Hasvik yesterday, stopped there for
few minutes and continued on toward
Tromsoe. Later she put in at Skjaer
Island temporarily.
DR.. Gunnar Horn, head of the expe-
dition which used the boat and which
had found the remains of the balloon
expedition, told the Associated Press
correspondent at Hammerfest, northern
most city in the world, by telephone
that he had remains of all three men
aboard and that the body Of Solomon
August Andree was well preserved. He
did not indicate what was the condi-
ton Of the remains of the other two,
Knut Frankel and Nils Strindberg. All
three bodies; he said, were placed on
the afterdeck OF the Shtn IL cases of
ing.
Signal by Radio.
DR.. Horn said that Saturday night,
while he was continuing his sealing OPP
erations north of the Norwegian coast,
he heard faint signals from Swedish
radio station ordering him to turn
homeward. He came Immediately, stop
ping at Hasvick only long enough to
faae ha a,skH0rlk{nC that ho hor
reached the coast before proceeding to-
ward Tromsoe.
Arrival of the Arctic ship caused q
Juror over Scandinavia, where there
has been extraordinary suspense since
another Sealer nearly fortnight ago
brought news of the discovery Of An
dree's and his friends remains on White
Island, northeast of Spitzbergen. Sew
eral rival news expeditions which had
been searching for the Bratvaag put
about and headed in her direction.
DR.. Horn. in his telephone converse
ton with Hammerfest, said he did not
believe traces of the undiscovered Sec
ton of the Italia expedition would be
found similarly, since the balloon prob
ably fell on the ice and with this year
exceptional melting went to the bottom
of the sea.
No Move Given on Diary.
He gave no indication as to whether
there had been any further reading of
Andree's note book and diary and log
book, which it is believed viii tell the
complete story Of the disastrous air VEN
ture.
Andree and his two companions set
out from Danes Island, Spitzbergen,
in July. 1897, intending to cross over
the Pole in their balloon. They disap-
peared with no trace as to their fate
until early in August, when DR.. Horns
expedition found the bodies and what
was left of the camp just as they must
have remained for 80 years or more. II
was presumed the balloon fell some
where to the nofthward and the men
walked back across the Ice to their
island of refuge.
Skjaer Island, sometimes known as
Skjaercey, Is a mountainous little island
close to the north coast of Norway,
about so miles northeast of Tromsoe.

Colombian Says Charge Ridiculous.
DR.. Ricardo Gutierrez Lee, Colon

charges against Mrs. Morlote as "ridicu-
lous." He said: Colombia enjoys en-

has no desire to acquire this nations
military secrets"
Some Cubans remarked that they
could not understand why the United
States and Colombia, so far away, could
be interested in Cuban military secrets.
Luis Marti, formerly an orderly un-
der Lieut.. Morlote, and who also has
been detained, has made no statements
since his arrest.

Set Three Distance Records.
No superhazardous flight marked his
career from the close of the war until
1926, when he set worlds distance
record by a 3,313-mile nonstop flight
from Paris into Persia.
In the next year, with Joseph Lebrix,
he launched the aerial odyssey that
took the pair from Paris down the west
coast of Africa, over the South Atlantic
to South America and eventually
through North America and Asia and
back to Paris. The Pacific, on this
fight, the afrmen crossed by ship. The
rest of the way they new.
With his present companion, Maurice
Belonte, he last year attempted the
Paris-New York flight, but turned back
when west of the Azores and landed
after 3,o00-mile flight, forced back
by head winds.
Other Marks Follow.
Two more world record performances
followed; nonstop flight of 4,948.5o
miles to Manchuria and q closed circuit
flight of 4,987 miles In 521a hours.
Coste had hoped to race the Kings
ford Smith party on their Atlantic
flight, but his plans were upset by mo-
tor troubles and other difficulties.
His aim today was to be the first to
complete the air journey from Paris to
New York without stop.

LABOR LEADER SEES
GOOD TIMES AHEAD
Green Predicts Permanent
High Wage Principle and Ap-
proved Working Standards.
By the Associated Press.

1y the AbsOCiAteo Erest.
Despite hardshipS brought by the past
IL months, in retrospect organized labor
finds today cause for rejoicing. Its lead
ers see shining brightly against the back
ground Of depression and unemploy-
ment, an entrenchment of the high
wage principle and high working stand
ards.
These are viewed as points of prog
ress by william Green, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, writing
editorially in the American Federalist
Of September.
Labor day." the editorial says, sis
set aside in honor of the creative con-
tribution which the unknown millions
make to the progress Of society.
Wage Farmers Classified.
Wage earners, the unnamed partners
In all our manufacturing and CONNER
cial undertakings, are a group that is
interested in the problems of produc-
ton and affected by the decisions Of
management. We are affected by the
prosperity or depression of business.
while we are a distinct group In
industry and society, we are not a
group in conflict with all others. We
suffer and other groups suffer when
our interests are neglected and we fail
to keep pace with the progress of So
ciety. We do not seek to impose an
other regime upon industry, but to or
ganize q representative system so that
we shall not be excluded from q voice
in the existing order and share In the
wealth we help create. Since produc-
ton is a collective undertaking to which
we are indispensable, we believe there
are equally good reasons why collective
Judgment should be the basis for the
rules of work and compensation.
Listed as Partners in Industry.
Through our unions not only do we
hope to become contributing partners In
industry, but to become solvent, depend
emit consumers on whom business car
rely, and O power for social progress
We do not ask favors or special privi-
lege, but equal opportunity to work anc
make progress.
I'VE have made progress Our high
wage principle has imbedded Itself
more firmly in our economic practices
by the stability 1t has shown during the
depression experience Of the past year
Cooperation between management ano
union has continued to prove itself @
constructive tool, benefiting both in
dustry and workers. 1t provides limit
less opportunity for increased efficiency
and productivity by stimulating crea-
tive contributions from all.
Viewed as National Progress.
Although the year has brought grave
problems and serious suffering to many
wage learners, the fact that standard:
have been maintained and that there
have been no important advocates OF
labor defiation is national progress
The value of the voluntary union or
ganization has been demonstrated by
the stabilizing service 1t has rendered
In meeting the problems of depression
We look forward to the opportunities
OF business revival with fresh conf
dence and courage.
Let us pledge again our loyalty ant
service to the movement that has
brought us opportunity and progress"
