George Uhle.

Many other reformers came u
the front with reasons why the
gridiron sport should be abolished.
Strange to say, the Morningside
Heights president was the only
one to go through with his pro
fessed declaration TO abolish the
game. This action Is what has
kept the Blue and White at the
bottom OF the football ladder for
50 long.
SO drastic was the action Of the
Columbia board OF trustees that dew
otees of the popular fall pastime
came together and organized what
is at present known as the National
Collegiate Athletic Association. The
fact that this organization brought
about q number Of changes in the
football rules that caused the howl
against the sport to subside caused
them to branch out into other

A. FL. KICKS OUT RADICAL ELEMENT
 WITH A WALLOP
By Vote of a7,838 to I3o Out Go One Big Union Crowd From
 Convention.

Portland, Ore, Oct. I2.-The Amer ican Federation of Labor in conven- tion Monday revoked the credentials of Wilbur F. Dunne of Butte, Mont, Central Labor Council as delegate III spirited session during which Dunne was characterized by speakers as traitor to organized labor" on account of his alleged activities as a Communist.
 The vote as announced was 27,838 yes and I3o no.
 Delegatel Philip H. Murray of the United Mine Workers of America placed motion before the conven- ton that Dunne's credentials be re- voked.
 When Dunne took the floor amid applause, some from the galleries, he said this was not the first time he had faced a "white collared" body intent upon his destruction.

MORE LAWS ARE
 NEEDED TO CURB
 LONG WORK DAY
Public Opposition Grows Against Excessive Hours as Shown in
 Steel Work.

New York, Oct I3-"Legislators
 need no longer hold any doubt as to the extent of public opposition to un-
 reasonable working hours. For that
 reason the campaign of 1923, center ing upon iron and steel, will doubt less prove a helpful influence in further extending protective legisla- tion-the only way in which the I2- hour day and its companion iniquity, the seven-day week, can be certainly and permanently removed from Amer ican industry"
 This declaration is made in an ar ticle by Frederick w Mackenzie in the current number of the American Labor Legislation Review, just issued.
 Steel has capitu1ated But only the future will tell whether conditions will continue to be regarded by the steel directors as favorable to a com plte-and permanent-eliminat of the I2-hour day And the present victory for public opinion will direct ly benefit only steel workers; relief is still to come for thousands of workers in other industries who labor under the I2-hour day and the seven day week.
 Because of the eminence of Judge Gary in the industrial world, public indignation could focus readily upon him and, in the light of nationwide publicity, get results. In the nature of things, lesser employers in various industries scattered throughout the country can not be reached so effec- lively by this method.
 "The public, however, in making the case against excessive hours in steel, has made the case against ex- cessive hours everywhere. It remains now to place all industries on an even basis of humane, as we'll as efficient, standards. It is only fair and reason able that those employers who have yielded to public opinion be protected from the undercutting of any others who have been less humane, less re- sponsive or less scrupulous."

 Just compare the work of these "lea- gues with the propaganda of all the other opposition unions and scab agen- cies which we have had in our midst in former years and you will be startled by the similarity of method, means and even language. They have one common pur- pose and one common way of getting there. They want to destroy our unions
 What, indeed, could our Information al say to such a nauseating and scanda- lous accusation that we have hired gang sters to kill their Foster? The Foster farce III Chicago, and his unceasing yelp- 1ngs that the International had planned this shooting are a fair exam,1e of the tactics this irresponsible crew is en- ploying to SOW feud and dissension among our workers

 I Our workers have spent too much blood, tears and fortune, have endured too much sacrifice, hunger, and cold to build up for themselves a tower of strength against the aggression of their employers to give 1t up as prey to these new detractors and destroyers
 Their mask IS lifted. Now they will find no more room for themselves in de- cent self-respecting company. The tens of thousands of members Of our organi- zations will help us in this good and great task. And their help will come freely, from the fullness of their heart and inspired by the desire to conserve and make ever stronger their union and their band of industrial unity to their fellow workers.

There used to prevail an idea among us that the sundry kinds of "commu- nists" who have been aiming their at tacks upon our unions were honest, well-meaning persons" but that owing to the fact that thev have never done any practical work in the labor move ment they could easily fall prey to the delusion that our unions are not Ire volutionary enough" and that the lead CTS of our organizations are bureau crats." We used to ascribe 1t to the oppaling ignorance of the commlunist writers on organization matters and on how to manage and conduct a labor union.
 We watched the infamous work of these communists who left nothing un- done to undermine the foundation of our
 labor unions and to tear into shreds the
 solidarity of the workers. Yet, we
