the body Of one of the men and
Joseph Willette, neignbor, quickly
shot the animal with rifle.
Sheriff Harold Hodgkins arrived soon
afterward and shot another bear, try.

through the pen door as he entered
with food. As the animal attacked
Langley, his assistant apparently
struck the bear with a shovel and he
in turn met death. The bodies of both
men were torn and their limbs broken
The inn is about 10 miles outside

Mr.. and Mrs. Langley had operated
the inn in the North Ellsworth district

POLITICAL REPORT
Of A. FL. WAITED
Reported to Be ''Pro-Roose-
veIt"-ReIeaSe Within Day
Is Expected.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Under pressure from the pro- Roose-
welt majority of the Executive Coun-
Gil, the American Federation of Labor
expects to release tonight or tomorrow
its non-partisan political report on
the platforms and candidates of the
two major parties.
Already held up longer than Is Gus
tomary after the presidential con-
ventions of the two parties, the report
is understood to be strongly pro-
Roosevelt and to have been the center
of a bitter "filibuster" within the
council membership.
According to sources close to the
council, william L. big Bill" Hutche-
son is the villain" of the piece. q
part which he is reported to have
played not only in connection with
the report, but also in forcing the
suspension Of 10 member unions Of
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization.
Threat Is Reported.
Going back to the suspension action,
Hutcheson. who is president of the
powerful Carpenters Union and DOM
inant leader among all the building
trades groups, is reported to have
threatened to take his own and allied
unions out of the A. F. of l. If the
Council failed to vote the suspension
Aside from other reasons, big Bill
has a deep personal antagonism to-
ward John L. Lewis, chairman of the
c. I. O., and the two actually came
to blows at an Atlantic City labor
meeting about q year ago.
Under this threat, and knowing that
withdrawal of the Hutcheson group
would leave the Lewis faction q DOM
inant group at the November conven-
ton of the federation, the Council
voted the suspension in August.
Since then Hutcheson has been ap-
pointed head of the labor division
of the Republican Campaign Commit
tee and is understood to be In line
for Secretary of Labor in the event
Gov Landon is elected President. On
the other side, Daniel j. Tobin, pres
ident Of the Teamsters' Union and
also a member of the council, was

MOSCOW STANDS PAT.

On Arms.
o. the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, October l5.-Russia to.
day stood pat on her demand for
blockade of Portuguese ports to pre-
vent shipment of arms to the Spanish
insurgents but declined to disclose her
next step should the European Nom
Intervention Committee be adamant
against such control.
Despite Lord Plymouth's refusal to
act, it was learned the Kremlin will
continue to insist the committee meet
to weigh the Russian demand.
The Kremlin was portrayed as feel-
ing that each member Of the Non-
Intervention Committee has the right
to ask the body to be summoned and
that the chairman has no power to
turn down a request.
Informed sources stated they be-
lieved Russia's demand for blockade
was really designed to drive France
and Great Britain into the open
against Germany, rather than based
on any hope q blockade would be
established.
Russians asserted, however, they
were serious in the demand and
wanted all ships entering Portuguese
ports stopped and searched.

It was reported he had told Maisky
