to Observation-Disclosures
Denounces X. X. X.

Portland, Ore.-The American Fed
Grafton of Labor, in convention here,
revoked the credentials of William f.
Dunn, of Butte Central Labor council,
as n delegate, In a spirited session
during which Dunn was characterized
by speakers as a traitor to organized
labor" on account of his alleged activi-
ties as a communist.
The vote as announced was 81, 1888
yeas and 100 noes.
Complaints by United Mine Workers
of the United State against Dunn's ut
terances through the Butte Bulletin, of
which he is editor, figured in charges
during the debate and occupied most
of the conventions two sessions, Mon
day, Oct. 8.
Following the unseating Of Dunn.
the convention rejected three resolu-
tons proposing that unions be on
stead of ~crafts-the one big union
idea. The report charged that those
who favor amalgamation aim at the
destruction of organized labor.
Dunn was the author Of one of the
amalgamatlon resolutions.
The executive councils report de
nouncing "usurpation of government"
by the Ku Klux Khan was unanimously
approved in n resolution adopted late
in the day. 1t called upon trade union
lists to beware of the organization, as
"a menace to American government"
A copy of the report on the Ku Klux
Klan was ordered tent to each local
organization In the federation.
The convention adopted n resolution
denouncing the fascist movement and
Endorsed the executive councils report
flaylng that movement.
The vote on the resolution unseating
Dunn brought to issue the conserva-
tive and radical elements of The con
v%ention. II was taken after several
hours Of discussion, in which Dunn
was denounced by Matthew VOL, a
vice president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, and William Green,
secretary-treasurer of the United Mine
Workers of America.
Dunn himself replied to the attacks
and hurled defiance at the convention
and officers of the federation.

TERRIBLE LONG KNIFE
SQUAW"

LIZA UNI KNEE
SOUAW"
A MONG the pioneers VINO crossed The
"A Appalachians to seek new homes
in the West at the close of the Revolu.
ton was a man named John Merrill
who settled in what is now Nelson
county, Kentucky. That country was
still! as much a Ozark and Bloody
Giound' as 1t had been when Daniel
Boone first visited 1t and the fear OF
an Indian attack ever lowered over
the isolated cabins of the settlers and
their stockaded forts. But Nelson was
the type of man not easily daunted
and he was fortunate in having for
his mate a woman of remarkable
strength and courage.
One evening in 1857 Merrill was
aroused by the barking of his dog and
when he opened the door to see what
was the trouble he fell with his arm
and leg broken by the bullets of a
band of v Indians. AS he dropped
to the floor he cried to his wife to
close the door.
Then the savages attacked the
planks with their ~tomahawks and soon
made a hole large enough for one Of
their number to crawl through. Mrs.
Merrill Immediately seized an AK and
with this weapon she killed the first
intruder. He had scarcely rolled to
one side when another entered TO meet
the same fate, as did a third. A fourth,
unwarned by the fate of his fellows,
was the next victim and by this time
the Indians realized the futility Of
further attempts.
The three survivors then climbed to
the roof of the cabin with the inten.
tion of gaining entrance by dropping
down through the huge chimney. But
Mrs. Merrill was as resourceful as
she was brave. She seized n feather
bed, ripped 1t open and threw 1t upon
the smoldering Goals in the fireplace.
Instantly a cloud of smoke surged up
the chimney and two Of the Indians,
blinded and choking, dropped to the
hearth nearly insensible. AS they lay
there gasping for breath the pioneer
oma sprang upon them with her aI
and they Joined their brothers on the
journey to the Happy Hunting
Grounds.
The sole survivor of the war party
should have been convinced by now
that this cabin was bad medicine"
But he evidently wasn't. He crawled
through the broken door and sprans
Mt the white m There was no
time to swing the Ak for n deadly
blow. As the savage seized her, she
drew the keen edge of the ax across
his face. laying the flesh open to the
bone.
This was too much for the warrior.
With a howl Of pain he ran from the
cabin and bounded into the woods.
And when he returned to the Indian
town Of ChIllicothe he told his people
not without NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
terrible 'long-knife squaw" had de-
feated his war party with nothing NJ
