By the Associated Press. TROMSOE, Norway, September 1.— Remains of the three men who, in 1897, tried to fly across the North Pole in a balloon today were back on Nor- wegian soil after having lain imbedded in the ice for nearly a third of a cen- tury. The sealer Eratvaag, which had them aboard, sailed out of the north seas into Hasvik yesterday, stopped there for a 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 remains of all three men aboard and that the body of Salomon August Andree was well preserved. He did not indicate what was the condi- tion of the remains of the other twe, Knut Frankel and Nils Strindberg. All three bodies, he said, were piaced on the afterdeck of the ship in cases of :;e'. which kept them from deteriorat- Signal by Radie. Dr. Horn said that Saturday night, while he was continuing his sealing erations north of the Norweglan coutl he heard faint signals from a Swedis radio station ordering bim to turn homeward. He came immediately, stop- ping Hasvick only enough to telegraph the authorities it he had reached the coast before proceeding to- ‘ward Tromsoe. Arrival of the Arctic ship caused & furor over Scandinavia, w! there has been extraordinary suspense since another sealer nearly a fortnight ago brought news of the discovery of An- dree’s and his friends’ remains on White Island, northeast of Spitzbergen. Sev- eral rival news expeditions which had been searching for the Bratvaag put about and headed in her direction. Dr. Horn, in his telephone conversa- tion with Hammerfest, said he did not believe traces of the undiscovered sec- tion of the Italia expedition would be found similarly, since the balloon prob- ably fell on the ice and with this year's exceptional melting went to the bottom of the sea. No Move Given on Diary. He gave no indication as to whether there been any further reading of Andree's note book and diary and log book, which it is believed will tell the complete story of the disastrous air ven- ure. Andree and his two companions, set out from Dane’s Island, glnllbghen. ht;le.ml , 1897, intending to cross over miles to Manchuris and & closed circuit | 2o until early in August, when Dr. Horn' expedition found the bodies and what ‘was left of the camp just as they must have remained for 30 years or more. It was presumed the balloon fell some- where to the northward 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 north coast of Norway, about 60 miles northeast of Tromsoe. LABOR LEADER SEES G0OD TIMES AHEAD Green Predicts Permanent High Wage Principle and Ap- proved Working Standards. By the Associated Press. Despite hardships brought by the past 12 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- 'm principle and high working stand- a These are viewed as points of prog- ress by Willlam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, writing editorially in the American Federalist of September. “Labor day,” the editorial says, “is set aside in honor of the creative eon- tribution which the unknown millions make to the progress of society.

We suffer and other groups suffer when our interests are neglected and we fail to keep pace with the progress of so- clety.

(Continued From First Page,) the zoologist, Adolf Sorensen, and my- self as leader of the expedition. On our way into the beach we saw a school of walrus playing about in the sea,- and the outlook for a good catch helped to put us in a good humor. Tédious Landscape Broken. We landed and were soon on our way inland across the naked island. On it were mountains of granite and gneis. Between them Were stretches of gravel and sand. Only a shallow little lake broke the tediousness of the landscape. Brown moss made a little spot of color here and there. Otherwise vege- tation was very sparse. There were the usual polar flowers about, We worked through the evening in the northwest part of the flat land, and went on -board again in the” early morning. On ‘August 6 we had the same mar- velous weather, with brilllant sunshine and a cloudless sky. The ocean was like a mirror, and on. many jutting peninsulas round abéut were stranded 1cebergs. White Island’s great ice peak rose majestically from the low coast land. Evervwhere reigned an intense si- lence. Just- once in a while we could hear the noise of ice breaking away from a parent iceberg and splashing into the sea. In truth, there was a great white silence everywhere, and it was impos- ible not to feel ‘4 little affected by ich ‘& deathlike stiliness.. The noise of the falling ice emphasized the depth ot the: Iaorning & Bratvaags t ¢ morning_ the rmag’s two ‘hunting boats, under the leadership of the shooters Ole Myklebush and Severin lten, went out.to harpoon walruses, Ultimately Skjelten and the harpoon- ers, Karl Tusvik, Olaf Salen, Johan Almestad and Sigurd Myklebust, went ashore to skin their catch. Mound of Snow Unusual. Salen and Tusvik went to search for drinking water and discovered a little stream. Beside the stream they found a mound of snow that was rather dark and did not resemble the ordinary snow hill. They went over to it at once and saw & boat sticking up from S The boat they caught sighi caught sight of the point of a boatswain’s hook, with a name engraved on it. The two men at once ran back to Skjelten and told him about their find, showing him the engraved “Andree's Polar Expedition, 1896.” Skjelten, Almestad and Myklebust then went to the mound and in the boat they further found a book, which they took with them to the beach. At this i ment the Bratvaag's mo- tor boat, with mper Eliassen and Assistant Mecl aasvaag aboard, arrived to help the hunters with their walrus catch. Eliassen was immediately informed about the discovery, and he went alone to investigate it further. Against the wall of & neighboring mountain he found .a body leaning against the mountain .slope with its feet half buried in smow. lized at’ once that ‘this remains of the Andree expedition. He immediately returned to the Bratvaag, where I was. He showed me the book and I saw imme- diately that it ‘was the Andree expedi- tion’s observation hook, $8htaining rec- ords of their sledge journey after they left the balloon. * Actual Recovery, Work. ‘We took different ents on board the motor boat, and then all the expedition’s members ‘went ashore to f | hook. On it was try as best we could to dig everything | gage out and then transport it -on.board. It was with strange feelings that we stood on the beach where the brave | the Andree and his men 33 years ago ended their last polar wandering. In deep silence we went up toward the camp, which only too plainly showed us what ha d happened. ‘There lay the boat halt buried in snow, with its nose pointing inland. Alohgside it lay & sledge. The top of the sledge was level with the ice. On the snow a few yards away was a plece of black and red cloth, with crude squares cut in for windows—perhaps a part of a tent—and under the wail of the mountain was Andree himself. ‘We recognized him only by the mon- ogram on his jacket. He was leaning against the mountain slope a few yards northeast of the boat. He had worn- out Arctic shoes on his feet, but other- wise was well clothed. Beside him lay a gun and an oil stove, there was oll in the stove, and when we pumped it, the oil came out in a fine spray and gas came out at a vent on the side. The. apparatus was quite in good order.

Between two mounds of earth a short distance away from Andree’s body we found a little later another member of the expedition, who had apparently been laid there by one of the others. ‘The body was half covered with small stones. It was “frozen down” and very hard to get up. We also found in the boat 169 re- mains of bones, but we have not been able to decide whether they are human bones. Some other articles were found at_different places in the camp und carefully gathered up. Upon examining the boat closer we found many different things. These were the expedition’s equipment of all kinds. There were articles of clothing such as stockings and. handkerchiefs, an instrument for measuring the veloc- ity of the wind, photographic appara- tus, shotguns, & Theodolite, sewing articles, a hammer and an ax, and a bag containing navigation books and other things.

The train left St. Louls at 6:30 p.m. for Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio and other Texas points.

Ahead of us was the stor- age and mail car attached to the tender, but it was locked and there was no one in it. Behind us was theé chair car, diner and eight Pullmans, “All at once the train gave a-powerful jerk and the lights went out. I knew we were in a wreck, but that was all I knew for a few minutes for something struck and dazed me. When I regained full consciousness we were sitting in the dark. The steel walls of the car had not collapsed, but the wooden partition between the ge and office com- partments had caved in and some of the wreckage had fallen on me. “When it collapsed, suit cases and trunks from the béggage compartment had been hurled helter-skelter and it's a wonder some of them didn't strike us and kill us, s “I don't know whether we turned over or not when we Jeft the track, but our car was right side up, al h off the track and at right angles to it. . “I could see the other boys lying about on -the inside of the car. I backed out through a side door—1I don’t know how I did it—and as soon as I found some of the other members of the train crew I put them to each end of the wreck to flag other trains down, if any should come along. I couldn't even see where the engine was, but all the other cars I could see were criss- crossed across the track, and I realized there was danger if another train should come piling into them. “However, I found out later that the eastbound freight, due about that time, had passed a few minutes before the wreck. Some one gave me & handker- chiet to stop the blood from flowing down my face, and I hunted up a telephone to call Mr. Conley. “Every one was calm, but going about the rescue.

'Two years ago it was a fact that flying as a sport was restricted to the wealthy and to those who were willing to sac- rifice almost everything else to flying. That is not true today. There now are airplanes, some of q good airplanes, seiling for the prices of the better types of automobiles. Some of these planes, not all of them, are really worth while fram the standpoint of de- sign and construction. They fly well, though perhaps not at such high speeds as some might desire, and are reason- ably economical in maintenance and operation cost.

CURTISS - REYNOLDS AIRPORT, Chicago, September 1.—The fleetest air- craft ot the land and some of the Na- tion's speediest pilots were entered today in the classic of the national air races— the century of miles for the Charles E. Thompson Trophy. The huge trophy of silver and gold ahd a share in prizes totaling $10,000 were dangled before 11 airmen. Ships going to the “line” at this huge square of Illinols countryside were the latest conceptions of designing engineers and carried some of the most powerful en- gines ever placed in American airplanes, With holiday crowds in prospect, race executives predicted that the alrport's seating capacity of 45,000 would be adequate. For miles around the air- port automobile parking space was be- ing parceled out at a premium. Addi- tional acres for non-competing and visiting planes also were made avail- able in ations to give the greatest margin of safety for contenders, who had before them a grind of 20 times around the five-mile triangular closed course. Chief among the entrants were Capt. Frank M. Hawks, in his Travelair mys- tery plane, with which he recently tablished two new cross-country rec ords; Capt. Arthur H.
