Union Labor Convention ExpelS
Red Editor as Delegate.
VOTE STOOD 1888 to 1870
William z. Fosters Western Agent
Stripped of Credentials by Gompers
and Chased From Convention
Hall at Portland.

Portland, Ore.-William f. Dunno,
communist leader from the Silver
Bow labor council of Butte, Mont,
was expelled from the convention of
the American Federation of Labor
after one of the most dramatic de-
bates heard in that forum for years.
DUNES strength only mustered six
votes on the final roll call. The record
vote as announced was 27,S3S to $50,
but this refers to blocks of votes, not
individuals. There were about fifty
two delegates absent or not voting in
the total of 378 present.
1t was not necessary for the So
called "Gompers machine" to do any
steam rolling. The delegates them
selves took care of Dunno.

Three Kentucky Convict SIayers

FLOODED WITH AMMONIA GAS
Storming Party of Picked MiIitiamen
DicoVer Bodies of Men When
They Enter the Room-Two
Killed Selves.

Western Kentucky, State Peniten-
tiary, via Paducah, Ky.-A storming
party entered the mess hall fortress
here, held by three convict murderers
for three days, after they had killed
three prison guards in a desperate bid
for freedom-and found them dead.
indications are that the gunner had
been dead for at least SO hours, two
OF them possibly for two days and
nights.
Entrance to the bullet torn two
story building was effected by a de-
tail of seven picked men after the des-
peradoes' stronghold had been flooded
for an hour with ammonia fumes.
Bodies Of the convict gunner were
found on the floor of the second story
OF the building
Bodies Stripped to Waist.
Monte Walters body was found
near the northwest wall, with bullet
wound through the head and horribly
burned from a bursting rifle grenade.
Bodies of Lawrence Griffith and
Harry Ferland, Walters companions
In the spectacular last stand"
stripped to the waist, were partly
sheltered under a table against the
wall on the northwest side. Powder
burned bullet wounds over the heart
indicated the manner in which Grit
nth and Ferland died. Ferland's gun
hand, stiff in death, still gripped a
heavy caliber automatic pistol.
Ferland and Griffiths arms were
folded as though the bodies had been
arranged after death. These two of
the desperate trio lost heart as hope
of escape diminished and committed
suicide to avoid capture or were slain
by Walters, who then fell under the
heavy fire from the besieging forces.
Physicians said Walters apparently
was the last man to die.
Ammonia for Dead Men.
Unaware, of course, that all mem
bers of the gunman trio were dead,
authorities in charge of the siege of
the mess hall obtained q supply of
high-proOf ammonia from an ice COM
pany in Paducah. Under cover Of
metal shields three pipe lines were
laid to the building and for an hour
the fumes were forced into the des-
peradoeS' bullet-torn covert.

Dramatic Exit of Red.

When the vote was announced Pres
ident Gompers announced in his most
impressive manner:
Delegate Dunno stands impeached
and his credentials as a member Of
this convention are revoked. Mr..
Dunno will please retire from the
hall"
There was a stir of excitement
which the aged president soon Quieted
with firm blows of his new gavel of
Oregon myrtle wood
Good by, Mr.. Chairman and dele
gates" said the athletic looking, blue
shirted, young Red, picking up his
books and papers, and making for the
door. Il will meet you at the barri-
cades."
This expulsion brought the whole
Red question into focus and unmistak-
ably stamped the temper of the con-
Vention on all the questions of similar
character to come before it this week.
Miners Union lndicts Him.
The impeachment Of Dunno was
made by William Green, secretary of
the United Mine Workers, in the
the course of a four-hour discussion
of the Red problem and its menacing
import to the trade union movement.
Il impeach this man in the name of
the workers of America before this
great bar of trade union power and
authority, as spokesman for the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America" said
Green from the platform.
Dunno is under indictment with w.
q. Foster for violation Of the Michigan
anti-syndicalism law.

A heavy sort of feeling pressed

remark: "Oh, that it may mean

"Oh, nothing!' I said, "just a lot

What is it," again she de-
manded. "If it Is a dream, tell 1t

interpret it for the best. Let US
know; speak," So everybody in the
home then joined in the demand.
1t was impossible to withhold the
matter from the home folks, and
related it, as follows.

It is not unusual for persons to
sit in this manner in seance for
fifteen or twenty minutes without
anything happening-without sug-

But within twenty or twenty
five minutes at the outside, con-
ditions being favorable. there is
likely to be demonstration Of a
Presence.
Now it is difficult to explain
just how the Presence makes it
self manifest.
Very often the Presence comes
and attempts to make itself felt
in the seance through one indi-
vidual sitting In the circle, but

can best explain just how you will

Why Children Are
Mediumistic

For this reason small children
are often the most satisfactory
mediums because their intellectual
innocence and fearlessness does
not interfere with the manifesto

In experimenting in set for

all other scientific explorations,
practice makes perfect. Or at
least, the more the investigator
familiarizes himself with the me-

ton, the more satisfactory these
experiments work out.
