ARE REVOKED

can Federation Of Labor, in conven-
tion here, revoked the credentials of
William F. Dunno, of Butte, Mont,
Central Labor Council, as delegate
in a spirited session during which
Dunno was characterized by speak
ers as "traitor to organized labor,
on account of his alleged activities
as communist.
The vote was an4ounced as 27,SSs
yes, and 130 no.
Complaints by United Mine Work
ers officials against Dunne's utter
ances through the Butte Bulletin, Of
which he is editor, figured in
charges during the debate and occu-
pied most Of the conventions two
sessions.
Following the unseating Of Dunno,
the convention rejected three reso-
ylutiohs proposing that unions be
consolidated along lines of indus
tries instead Of crafts-the one big
union idea. The report charged that
those who favor amalgamation aim at
the destruction Of organized labor.
Dunno was the author Of one of
the amalgamation resolutions.
Delegates James A. Junkan Of
Seattle, said that the Seattle central
labor council had been q pioneer in
propaganda for amalgamation. He
said, however, that his organization
was not endeavoring to disrupt the
American Federation Of Labor. ,s
The executive councils report de-
nouncing s'usurpation Of government
by the Ku Klux Klan was unani-
mously approved in resolution
adopted. It called upon trades un.
ionists to beware Of the organixa-
tion as menace to American gov.
ernment." A copy Of the report on
the Ku Klux Klan was ordered sen,

WOMAN SHOT
BY EMPL0YE
ON HER FARM
Is in Hospital in Critical Con
dition While Would-be
Murderer Stays Self
RESULT OF QUARRELs
Barn Burned Before Shooting
and Farm Hand Is Declared
Responsible

Larimore, N. D. Oct. 9.-Mrs. Rosa
Nav was shot and seriously injured
at her farm home a few miles from
her city early today by Herman
Brandt, who later shot and. killed
himself. The shooting is believed
to have been the result Of differences
between the two which existed Tor
some time. Mrs. May was brought
to a Grand Forks hospital in q criti-
cal condition. Brandt entered the
farm home Of the woman while she
was getting breakfast and shot her
as she ran out of the house. The
bullet struck her right arrn,' glanc-
ing into her body and is believed to
have lodged in her lung. She was
conscious when she reached the hos
pital at. Grand Forks but refused to
give further details of the affair.
Some weeks ago Brandt was sued
by Mrs. Rosa May on slander
charge and it is believed this was
the cause for the shooting. Brandt
formerly worked for Mrs. May as a
farm hand.
Last night the barn on the May
farm was destroyed by fire and Of
Ificials are of the opinion that
Brandt was responsible.
The body Of the dead man was
found in the door way between the
living room and dining room of the
house where the shooting occurred
After the shooting Mrs. May ran a
quarter Of mile to q railroad pump
house and phoned for help. DR.
Thompson Of Larimore arrived and
gave first aid, rushing her to Grand
Forks.

FLOOD HAZARD

SOUTHERN CITY
Another Rise Reported Sew.
eral Miles North of City;
Roads Are Torn Out

Oklahoma City, Oct. 9.-Oklahoma
City's food hazard hourly increased
today as another rise reported
several miles north of here swept
down to augment the swollen stream
which for three days has wrecked
havoc in the lowlands. Scores Of
families have been driven from their
homes by the twater which stands
10 to Is feet in some places: rail-
road service southwest has been
seriously hampered, street car tracks
and paving have been swept away
and the most direct artery Of COM
munication with Packingtown, the
packing center in the southern Sec
tion Of the city, has been severed
In the low lands on the south
side more than 100 buildings have
been submerged. So far as can be
determined there has been no loss of
life. Recent heavy rains are re.
sponsible for the heavy rise in the
river. ! -.

The success of the Warrior river barge line is dependent on the or dering of the railroads by the in terstate commerce commission to di- vide more equitably the revenue re- sulting from joint hauls, according to John w. Weeks, Secretary of War, today.
 The secretary is so thoroughly convinced that his conclusion is correct that he moved today to ac- celerate the ruling of the interstate commerce commission. As previous ly reported, the commission has had the problem before it for some months, and a decision has been ex- pected before the end of January. In a letter today the Secretary of War reminded the commission that the decision was of the greatest importance in that the governments experiment in inland navigation was at stake.
 The secretary's opinion was stated to Senator Oscar w. Under wood of Alabama, who called for

MILLIONS AFFECTEDI BY FARLEY DECISION MOVING POPULATION

LAUSANNE, Jan. '10.--One million human lives are vitally affected by the decision reached by the Near Eastern conference today. One mn lion Moslems and Christians, who live either in Greece or Turkey must give up their farms, homes and bus mess places and move on to find farms, homes and occupations eise- where.
 In the interest of future peace be- tween Turkey and Greece the Moham- medans in the Hellenic peninsula must henceforth reside in Turkey and Greek Christians in Turkey must emigrate to Greece.
 The statesmen have no illusions about hardships this will entail on the individuals affected. They justify their action by pointing out the beneficent influence it will have on the maintenance of peace which the conference was summoned to pro- claim.
 That peace in some form will be signed at Lausanne seems more pro- probable in consequence of today's developments. It is reported that the mosul oil dispute will be settled out side the conference and earnest ef- forts are being made to find some satisfactory formula concerning ju dicial guarantees for foreign re- sidents in Turkey.
 Today's events were of nature to propitiate the Greeks. for the Turks announced that the Greek pa iriarch, who is primate of the Ortho- dox church can remain in Constan tinople, provided he devotes himself exclusively to Spiritual matters.
