Labor Council .Atka All to Inrrrase
Their Aaaeaatneitta.
AH trades untcma In Portland affil
iated with tha Central Labor Council
have been asked to Increase tho regu
lar aaaeasmenta of their members to
meet tha cxpenss of tha teamsters in
their present atrlka against the drajr
men and other employers.
Meet of them have responded with
aub Lanital aascaamantaa the Increase
generally being based upon the aver
age earnings of the various tradesmen.
L'ues for most unions are levied on a
percentage of the earnings of the mem
bers. Some of these rates have been
doubled, while others have been raised
400 per cent.
Some men have become dissatisfied
with this system. They aay they are
tired of bearing the expenses of the
teamsters' strike and are urging a set
tlement. This question, among others, was
discussed at the regular meeting of
the Central Labor Council last nicht.
No action was taken to reduce the bur
den. The payments will be made again
next week, but there will be consid
erable grumbling:.
Reports of the failure of the suit to
prevent the payment of the salurics of
the special officers employed by the
city to guard the nonunion teamsters
taking the strikers' places were re
ceived at the meeting. The unionists
declare that they will not eive up the
fight against paying the policemen.
Many taxpayers who are not members
of a union, they state, are supporting
them In this contention. They threaten
to take an appeal
Assured that the employment of spe
cial officers is legal, the police depart
ment haa replaced some of the men
who were removed last week. The em
ployers are employing- nonunion driv

say they are having no difficulty In

SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. (To iho

been resurrected. The rumor is now em
bellished with the statement that "the

of the race.
There Is no more foundation lor tins

for It In Its old form. The big interests.
whoever they are. have no more power
or Influence over my actions In this or
any other manner than they have over
the course of the seasons. 1 am not the
candidate of any interests, big or little.

It ought to he plain by tins time to

reptile was not loaded, but It was.
Consequently Kanlch spent most a
week alternating between Bellevue
Hospital and toe Rockefeller Institute.
He received considerable neutralizing
fluid In his veins and finally he was
discharged from the hospital.
Kantch had heard the hospital phy
sicians say that there was a Japanese
professor in town who liked to study

Ir. Xogoueht, would be ever so glad to
tret a sample of Kanich's pet rattler's

peared at Ucllevue with a small wooden
bos and told Dr. Rutledge that he had
brought Professor Nogouchi the ser
pent. Dr. Rutledge noted that Ranich did
not look very fit and urged him to stay
another day In the hospital, Ranich
decided that no would, and he went
upstairs to his cot. '
An hour later a night nurse found
the victim of snake bite under the
covers and the snake In his box prison
was on the foot of the cot. The transit

ICE FIELDS ARE GOAL
DANES TO I.KAD EXPEDITION TO
HINT IX GREENLAND.
R n tid Kusnitisscn and Peter
Freiielien Will Seek to Educate
Nutive Esquimaux.
COPENHAGEN". Autr. 20. (Special.) It
j Is now possible to give more particulars
I of the expedition that is being conducted
j to Greinlar.d by Knud Rasmussen and
I Peter Krer.chen. As hns already, been
, announced, they will first of all set up a
. trading station nt Wolstenholme Sound
and innke arranuementa to protect tho
natives from the Fliarp practices ana
bad li'tunr of vlsitlnK traders. But In
addition thov will seek conHrmatory evi
dence of the" Cook and Peary claims and
conduct Independent expeditions of their
own.
Rasmussen had heard rumors of Ameri
can designs for developing Greenland, so
he was anxious to pain for Denmark
finst honors In civilizing the natives. He
askel the Danish Government whether
they would establish a colony there, but
the reply was that the Danes had no
sovereignty over the district. However
tne plans prejared by Rasmussen have
the approval of the Government. He and
Frenehen will he independent, for Ras
mussen has raised the necessary funds.
privately, and as far as possible their
trading enterprise though In the in
terests of the Ksquimaux will be self
stitiportlng. Tho trading will bo confined to three
or four short seasons In the year. lb
the Intervals the Ksouimaux sro away
hunting. With the approval of the Dan
ish Commission for Geological rend Geo
graphical K.vploralion In Greenland the
explorers will carry out a program of
scientific work. In the first winter Ras
mussen plans to complete a new book in
English on the Imagination, legends and
beliefs of the Esquimaux.
Frenehen has specially trained himself
to map out the ill-famed Melville Bay.
After that they will make sledgo expedi
tions inland to seek numatoks oases of
open land where reindeer may bo found
ami they will explore the Peary Canal,
north of Greenland, and the land Peary
and Cook allege they saw about 85 de
grees north. Husmussen declines to dis
cuss the Cook claims nowadays but it
Is understood he intends to extract the
tory of the actual doings of the Esqui
maux who were with Dr. Cook.
Kfismussen's Inst declaration before
starting was a denial that there was any
competition between him and Otto Svcr
tlrup 111 Greenland. Falling to obtain
American capital for a whaling expedi
tion, Sverrlrup raised the money in Nor
way. Rut there is no truth in the re
port that Sverdrup will hoist the Nor
wegian flag at Cape York. He has ex
changed confidences with Rasmussen.
witli the result that while Raamussen will
operate on land, Sverdrup's whaling busi
ness will be confined to the sea. "
Rasmussen hopes to have his wife and
daughter now six months old with him
in Greenland presently, perhaps next
ear.
After matters have been satisfactorily
established at Wolstenholme Sound, in
three or four years from now, Rasmus
sen will visit Denmark und then set out
on. his long cherished plan for a com
prehensive and extended expedition to
tho "farthest north" section of the Am
erican continent, not merely to study
the region, but also the remoter Esqui
maux tribes.

Asquith'a latest device. It was formerly
the custom of the Premier to ahut him
self up in his private room at 10 Down

ration of a speech of special interest or
Importance. Lately, he has varied the
practice and has gone out for Ion motor

Nothing has caused so much interest of
late as the analysis of the vote on the
Conciliation Bill framed to give the fran
chise to women occupying housea in their
own right. Parties and families are hope
lessly divided on the question. There are
several cases of brothers in the House,
but in all of them the cleavage was
shown In the division lobbies. Since the
bill was shelved by being sent to a com
mittee of the whole house, the calm con
sideration of the speeches has led most
papers to the conclusion that the balance
of argument was heavily against the bill.
Some of the Nationalist members still
Indulge In the belief that if any settle
ment is reached on the Lords' veto cues
tlon it will involve some agreement be
tween the two sides on Home Rule. One
or two members at least of John Red
mond's political following are declaring
that the Conservative party la prepared
to compromise on this crucial point.
There is no foundation for this story,
and no member of the Conservative party
believes for n moment that Arthur James
Balfour would entertain such an ar
rangement. The story seems to be on all
fours with the report which waa circu
lated a few weeks ago that Augustine
Blrrell had been put upon the conference
as a sort of official representative of
the Nationalist party. As a matter of
fact Blrrell was put upon the conference
because Premier Asqulth believed that
the Chief Secretary enjoywl the confi
dence of the extreme Radical wing of
the Liberal party.
There are great hopes in Irish circles
aa to the financial result of the new
American campaign to be conducted by
John Redmond early in September, as a
preparation for the next general election.
Irish Nationalists at home have this year
contributed over 5O,O00 to the party's
funds, and there will thus be no shortage
In supplies; but the Irish leaders desire
to provide against the contingency of
wholesale opposition in the Nationalist
constituencies.
The O'Brien section have to be reck
oned with, but there is the greater dan
ger of a repetition of the Conservative
tactics of 1SSS, when every Nationalist
seat was contested. John Redmond will
be accompanied by T. P. O'Connor, Joseph
Devlin and Daniel Boyle. Besides at
tending the annual convention of the
United Irish League. of America, they
will address a large number of gatherings
