PORTLAND, Ore. Oct. o."
Flushed with victory so complete a.
to remove all doubt as to their
strength, administration forces Of
the American Federation Of Labor
were prepared today to clean the
slate Of radical theories advanced
before the forty.third annual con-
vention.
The dramatic expulsion of VIM.
F. Dunno, self-styIed communist OF
Butte. Montana, left no doubt as
to organized labor's attitude toward
RED" propaganda and efforts to
bore from within the labor move
ment." Dunno was removed by
the overwhelming vote Of 1883 to
100.
Soviet Cause Doomed.
The ousting of Dunno appeared
today to have sealed the fate of
the resolution favoring recognition
OF Soviet Russia and organization
OF a third party for labor. The
amalgamation plan, also considered
to be one of the possible storm CEN
ters Of the convention, was de-
feated with no one TO champion it
after Dunno was unseated.
Soviet recognition and q third
party for labor are before the con-
vention today on the report of the
committee on resolutions. The
committee, as II the case of ANAL
gamation, will ask non-concurrence
In the resolutions and 1t is said
that little II any opposition will be
voiced by delegates.
Khan Is Denounced.
Step by step the report of the
resolutions committee was adopted.
The Kr' Klux Khan was denounced
as an "insidious movement, detrf.
mental to the interests Of American
citizenship"
The fascist movement also was
denounced. recommendation was
made that the United States Rail
road Board be abolished.
The convention also approved the
report calling for the election by
the people OF all Federal judges
and for curbing the unlimited
powers Of the Supreme Court"

Buick "SecOnd Choice" of
 Rolls-Royce Executives

There are occasions when one can be proud to be Second choice.' The officials of the Rolls-Royce plant, Springfield, Mass, have made such an occasion possible.
 Significant of Buick mechanical eX- cellence is the fact that among Buick owners are II leading officials of Rolls-Royce of America, Inc, pro- ducers of one of the finest and most expensive motor vehicles in the world.
 Looking for a car of tested design, construction and moderate price, it is a compliment to the Buick that these men, associated with such wonderful product themselves, have selected the Buick. Their decisions were only natural when one realizes that for 20 years the Buick adaptation of stand ard engineering principles has been held in high esteem by engineers and others schooled in things mechanical.

CAPITAL AND LABOR
 IN Z YEARS TRUCE
As Result, Pending Legislation at
 Hartford Is Dropped

Hartford, March 1o.-Capital and labor agreed yesterday on two years truce which suddenly resulted in the withdrawal of proposed strike legis. lation threatening bitter fight before the legislative judiciary committee next Wednesday,
 As result of an agreement be- tween the Manufacturers association of Connecticut and the Open Shop conference on the one hand and the Connecticut Federation of Labor on the other, two bills making intimida- ton lawful in trade disputes and one bill prohibiting industrial warfare were dropped for the duration of the pres- ent session of the legislature.
 One of these measures, senate bill PAT, proposed to make it lawful to urge others to abstain from working, and to urge others not to buy prod ucts of an industry engaged in a trade dispute. It was intended to at- tach drastic amendment to section 635S of the general statutes which restricts the lawful activities of strikers.
 Senator Tones other bill, 253, pro- posed substantially the same amend ment in different phraseology. The put upon it by manu- lecturers was that it would give strik- CTS the right to attack so-called strike breakers.
 Senator Frederick De Peyster, re- publican, of Portland, introduced the Manufacturers association bill which not only to prohibit indus trial warfare, but to restrict persons from furnishing aid to carry it on, gave anyone injured in person or as a result of q strike the use of the courts to recover damages. Heavy penalties were provided in the bill for agitators of strikes. Labor men construed the bill as blow at the heart of trades unions.
 Capitol and labor are at issue con- cerning several other bills pending before the present session, but they are considered to be minor matters with those eliminated.

WHAT PROHIBITION
 HAS DONE IN CONN.,.
Has Reduced Drunkenness, Crime
 and Poverty, Rep. Cramton Says
BY GEORGE H. MANNING , i,, rvt or, pYroop af Naxr, d n ;,, |,

Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald)
 Washington, D. C., March 1O.-- Prohibition welcomes the test of ex. perience. It is puerile to measure dol. lars against the lessening of crime, poverty and disease"
 Representative Louis c. Cramton of Michigan, made this statement in re. ply to the recent charges of Represen- tative Gallivan of Massachusetts, that prohibition enforcement is not worth its cost
 Backing up his reply, MT. Cramton quoted figures and statements of nu- merous authorities to show the de- crease in crime, and poverty, and disease, which he said to be due to prohibition.
 In Connecticut, said the Michigan reformer IA cities show decrease of 33 per cent in the number of arrests for drunkenness in 1922 compared with 1918, the last wet year.
 The number of persons confined in prisons in Connecticut fell from 2,494 in 1917 to 1,657 in 1922, decrease of S37 or 33.6 per cent.
 The amount of insurance in force III IO0n6CllCuJ Has llCTedStu II PSi cent since the last wet" year.
 In the city of New Haven, the pro- portion of people brought to family welfare societies on account of al- cohol dropped from Is per cent in 1919 to O.3 per cent in 1921.
 "The public health has so increas- ed," said Mir. Cramton, that the census bureau report on the increased expectancy of human life showed an increase from 50.23 years in 1910 to 539S years in 1920, for males; and from 53.62 to 56.33 years for females. Kansas, long dry, still holds the rec ord 59.73 years for white males and 6O.S9 years for the white females.
 we may expect to live longer than our fathers because the plague spot of the saloon no longer breeds conta- zion to the world"
 Labor, MT. Cramton asserted, is now more productive and efficient on Mondays and Tuesdays as a result of prohibition, and the most fruitful source of industrial accidents has been eliminated; that movie receipts show an increase of s633, 100000 over the last wet year, although doubly tax ed; and prohibition has been the greatest boon baseball has ever en- joyed.
 The bootlegger we have had with us always, he states, but where boot leg liquor stays it's hundreds. regular Lar whiskey. he claims, slew it's many thousands.
 On the whole. MT. Cramton admits, in his opinion the prohibitionists can report most encouraging and convinc- ing progress.

AUTOMOBILE SHOW IS READY FOR BUSINESS New Britain Dealers Exhibit
 Opens Tonight in testers Hall
 S6 MODELS ARE ON DISPLAY
Price Range 10 Suit All Purses - Prettier Lines and Mechanical Im- provements Features of 1923 Ma chimes.

Thirty-six different models will be an exhibition at the automobile show which opens this evening in testers s hall on Arch street and to which the public is invited. The show will be continued throughout next week. Ad- mission is free.
 Dealers who have combined to give New Britain people a show are well satisfied with their efforts. They be- lieve that they have succeeded in bringing together a representative display of machines which covers the price range well and which is suit able for use by men in easy or mod crate circumstances.
 This years models are better in many respects. Their lines are more attractive and mechanical improve ments are numerous, the latter being in the direction of simplicity of op- eration and lessening the cost of up- keep.
 Jester's hall has been especially decorated for the occasion, the color scheme being pink, with American flags to avoid monotony. A concert will be given every evening by Ahl- berg's syncopated orchestra.

Roberts was sent up to Cincinnati
by the San Antonio club, although he
