SHIP FOUND ON BIG ICEBERG
Captain of Steamer Sights Large Mass

Schooner.
For centuries mystery ships have
mailed the seas, guided only by the
winds of chance. One of them was
found by a steamer captain rounding
the Horn recently. While groping his
way into the open, a gigantic mass of
ice carrying a large three-masted
schooner, with its boats still in the
clefts, was sighted. Efforts were made
to find the survivors, but no trace of
them was discovered. Another sea
tragedy was added to the already long
list of those as yet unsolved when a

RADICAL LEADER
IS FIRED FROM
LABOR MEETING
Follower of William Foster
Ousted Following Bitter
Attack on Gompers
BY WILLIAM L. BLI8S
Universal Service Correspondent
Portland.- Ore., Oct. 8.—By a vote
of 27,838 to 130, William F. Dunne,
editor of Butte, Mont,, Bulletin, radi
cal leader and member of the Work
ers’ party, was unseated Monday af
ternoon as a delegate to the conven
tion of the American Federation of
Labor.
Dunne is one of the defendants in
the Michigan criminal syndicalistic
cases awaiting trial in Berrien coun
ty, Michigan, and is a follower of
William Z. Foster, red leader.
The convention did not decide
whether or not to take up the ques
tion of expulsion of other reds from
the convention, although some of the
delegates favor a complete house
cleaning of all delegates who are
known to be connected with the Mos
cow red internationale and other
radical movements not in accord with
the principles and policies of the
American Federation of Labor.
Attacks Gompers
Dunne's expulsion came after more
than four hours of the convention’s
time had been taken up in debate
and discussion of his activities. He
was permitted the floor to answer the
charges, and his speech, Instead of
being a defense of the accusation^
against him, consisted principally of
a tirade against President Samuel
Gompers, John L. Lewis, president
of the United States Workers and
other leaders of organized labor af
filiated with the American Federa
tion of. Labor. It was his own speech
which convicted him, in the eyes of
the other delegates, according to the
declarations of speakers who tcok
the floor after he was through.
Dunne admitted that he was a
communist and declared that the
leaders in the American Federation
of Labor were misleading the work
ing men of the country and that the
convention throttled all expressions
of advancement and progress for the
working classes. •
Mr. Gompers did uct deign to reply
to the charges against himself.
* Painful Operation
The removal of Dunne from the
floor of the convention was In some
respects, like the pulling of an aching
tooth. It was a painful operation,
but, according to the expressions
made afterward by delegates, the
relief was great.
James Duncan of the Seattle cen
tral labor council, which has been
in bad with the American Federation
of Labor because of its connection
with red activities, was not present
when the vote was taken.
A delegate demanded that Duncan
be found and made to vote, in order
to record his sentiments in the mat
ter. Duncan was in the lobby and
came in. The names of all who had
not voted when the roll was first
called, were called again, and Duncan
voted against the expulsion of Dunne.
This places him and his organiza
tion on record as still being opposed
to the policies of the American Fed
eration of Labor.
The unseating of Dunne was dra
matic. A. Greenstein, delegate from
the Jewelry Workers’ union, said that
a maii^iamed William F. Dunne was
a member of the Ku Klux Klan In
Berrien county, Mich. He wanted
to know whether Delegate Dunne was
the same man.
"I want to know if he is a klux,
whether he is ‘boring from within'
the communists for the klux, or is
‘boring from within’ in the ku klux
for the communists," demanded
Greenstein.
Demands Defense
Dunne did not answer the charge,
but demanded that he be given an
opportunity to enter a defense against
the “persecution” of himself. He re
ferred to the action against himself
as “star chamber proceedings.”
Mr. Gompers said that it was a
most peculiar charge, under the cir
cumstances, as Mr. Dunne had been
given every chance to present his
side of the case.
In the voting, every delegate was
put on record, except a few who did
not vote, as to their sympathies for
or against the red movement in or
ganized labor. Even the delegates
who introduced and are sponsoring
a resolution regarding the recogni
tion by the United States of soviet
Russia, almagation and the forma
tion of a third political workers’ par
ty, voted against Mr. Dunne. These
same policies are favored by the
reds.
Dunne’s own organization, the
Electrical Workers’ union, with 1,419
votes, voted solidly against him.
After the vote had been announced
Mr. Gompers asked Dunne to “please
retire.” Dunne made several efforts
to speak but was forced to leave
the hall.
Outside he was greeted by a crowd
of sympathizers, who denounced the
“steam roller” tactics of President
Gomeprs. They had come from the
galleries.

Performance of Ruth
May Decide Big Series
BY THOMAS L. CUMMINSKEY
Universal Service Sports Editor
New York, Oct. 8,—If the shield
that hides the future could be shoved
aside, and what Babe Ruth will do
in the world's series revealed, a real
line on the outcome of the Yankees
Oiants combat could be forthcoming.
A picture is vivid In my mind of
Babe in training at New Orleans last
spring. There he was, with perspira
tion dropping off him like water, run
ning around the park after every
thing, up in batting practice, strain
ing with his all to be in condition.
He had been a sad spectacle In the
world series last fall. It was ques
tioned if the Babe could come back.
As he worked, other Yankees stop
ped whatever they were doing, to see
if he had his “eye on the ball.” if he
could hit ’em as he used to do. It
was very clear that they depended
greatly on what the Babe would drt
in the pennant hunt. They were
wondering how he would make out
in his earnest, tireless efforts.
Well, all in all, the Babe has com
pleted the greatest season of his
career. In other years he played for
Ruth, for the glory of the home run.
His team often suffered in conse
quence. This year he played for the
team, a new man toward his mates,
toward his man-ger, Miller Huggins.
Where once he swung with hands
far down on the bat, to lace the
homer and the homer only, or fail in
the attempt, he changed to shorten,
"to choke up" on his bat, and hit
smaller blows. The smaller blows
were far more effective in the usual
run of victories than the homers.
Got 41 Runs
Babe got 41 home runs this year,
but they were incidental. The total
is an imposing one, nevertheless. But
It was in safe hitting, singles, doubles
and triples, that Ruth stood out. He
made 106 singles, 45 doubles and 13
triples. It was a season of marked
decline in hitting, but he has an av
erage of around .396. The value of
his bat to the Yanks the past season
is truly incalculable. The “eye on the
ball” which the Babe possessesTs one
of the greatest baseball has known.
Conjecture as to what would have
happened if Babe had “choked” his
bat in the series last year and the
year before, instead of swinging with
his tremendous follow through sweep,
could run Into reams of paper. It
would bo mighty interesting, too.
Christy Mathewson said after the
series last fall that if Babe would
shorten up on his bat he could baffle
the pitchers, who Christy believed
would try the stuff on him the Giants
did. This was said to be a low ball,
a slow ball, and a fast one mixed.
The Babe baffied the pitchers to such
an extent that they took to passing
him in a manner never before seen.
Not even in 1921 when he lammed
59 homers.
Spell Over Babe
Manager John McGrew of the
Giants, the romanatlclsts say, exer
cises a spell over Babe. The way
Babe has looked in the two world’s
series between the Giants and the
Tanks many believe so. It is said
to have had its birth in a spring ex
hibition game in Tampa, in 1920,
when the Babe hit a ball far over
the park, as tremendous a poke as
was ever seen. That, they say, got
McGraw to thinking, to visualizing
that the Yankees, so long In the rut,
would arise with a new star to v.e
for the long standing popularity of
the Giants.
There's no fiiestion McGraw is one
of the greatest, if not the greatest
manager that ever lived. But Babe
Ruth is one of the greatest, perhaps
second only to Ty Cobb, among hit
ters of all time.
In this series it is a new Babe,
trained to do hls mightiest.
What will fee do? If he does big
things, so should the Yanks. If not,
they are apt to shoot down with their
falling star. Manager Huggins de
pends greatly on the Babe to bring
the Yanks their first world's cham
pionship.
The Yanks worked out Monday at
the Polo grounds, and the McGraw
clan at the Yankee stadium. They
will limber up and keep batting eyes
trimmed thiswise again Tuesday, in
cidentally familiarizing with the
fields as much as possible.
Pipp Back In Shape
Wally Pipp, Yankee star first base
man, worked out with his mates
Monday for the first time since he
wrenched hls right ankle in Boston
two weeks ago. The ankle is still
tightly strapped with tape and leath
er bandages. He has high hopes of
playing.
In case Pipp is kept out of the first
game or more, Babe Ruth will be at
first. He isn’t as good a defensive
player as Pipp but handles himself
well there.
Bob Meusel, also hurt In the Boston
series, looked his old self Monday.
Business Manager Barrow of the
Yanks announced that all the re
served seats for the first game, Col
umbus day and Sunday games at the
stadium had been sold. The Giants
reported they had pot yet sold out
their reserved seats.
The betting varies between 6 and ■
and 11 and 10 with the Yankees fa
vorites. The financial district re
ports $300,000 to change hands if the
series goes seven games.
CABINET GIVEN
BROAD POWERS
Limited Dictatorship Voted
in Germany — Strings
Tied to Stresemann
BY KARL H. VON WIEGAND
Universal Service Correspondent
Berlin, Oct. 8.—Germany Tuesday
will pass under a limited dictator
ship. For the immediate future,
however, it will be held within con
stitutional restrictions.
The reichsrath, w'hieh is the Ger
man senate representing the dif
ferent German states, Monday voted
blanket dictatorial powers to the
Stresemann cabinet. The action is
taken in what is believed to be a vain
hope that Stresemann will thus be
able to pull Germany out of its eco
nomic and financial abyss.
It is expected that this emergency
bill will pass the reichstag Tuesday.
In a short paragraph, the bill grants
the cabinet power tq “take such fi
nancial, economic, and sociological
measures as the government consid
ers advisable and urgent. In this
the fundamental principles of the
constitution may be departed from.”
Hope to Have 8-Hour Day
Specifically withheld is the dicta
torial authority to regulate the work
ing hours of labor. With this res
ervation the reichstag, and partic
ularly the socialists, hope to save
the eight-hour day.
In granting Stresemann these ex
traordinary blanket powers, the Ger
man national parliamnent practical
ly confesses its impotence to deal
with the desperate situation and re
luctantly yields half-way to the
ever increasing cry for a dictator.
The reichstag believes that it had
a rope around the neck of the chan
cellor and it can figuratively hang
him, as dictator, at any moment
with a paragraph in the bill which
says that the government must im
mediately lay before the reichstag,
all measures, steps and actions it
takes. If not approved of parlia
ment, such measures are forthwith
to be rescinded.
String to Dictatorship
In this manner the reichstag hopes
to maintain strict control over the
government’s dictatorial exercise of
power. This very reservation, It is
believed In many quarters, will ren
der the dictatorial powers as grant

"Secretary Work has given no ade

In both extreme camps—the nati
