ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Oct. 20 —A roaring rfct and a tree-blown fist fight between two well-known labor leaders ciimaxed the Ameri- can Federation cf Labor convention Saturday.

Chunky John L. Lewis. preident oi the United Mine Workers, and William L. Hutcheson, presidcnt oi the Carpenters, threw the conven- tion into a beilam oi shouting, hoving and fist-swinging when they exchanged blows after a heated verbal duel.

Order was quick'y restor:d after Lewis and l-Iutcheson were separ- ated. Hutcheson left the convention hall, his face bleedinz. Lewis’ only apparent injury was a small scratch on the middiefinger oi his left hand. On the next finger he wsars a ma-sive gold ring.

Lewis raid he swung after Hut- cheson called him a "foul name." I-Iutcheson swung back. With Lewis‘ second blow. some observers said

aI-iutcheson tumbled back, knocking

over a table.

The fight grew out of the bitter personal feeling that has develop- ed out of the controversy betw:en {craft and industrial unionists over how mass production industry workers should be organised. The craft unknisis say "by craft.’ The industrial unionists say "by indus- try."

The Pendcnnls sank only five hours after she had sent out an appeal for assistance against what was described as the worst storm in recent years in the North Sea and Baltic. All s-sa. traffic in that region was completely stopped to- night.

The storm came out oi‘ the southwest Saturday afternoon and broke in full fury last night, bring- ing frequent SOS calls from the English Channel, the North At- lantic and the North Sea.

Considerable property was dam- aged throughout Great Britain and all smaller craft turned into port.

The 8000-ton French steamer Adrar went aground near the ls- land of Sylt. of: Denmark. and the 6.000-ton German freighter Erfurt was reported in bad condition be- tween Borkum and l-leligoiand.

Four steamers collided in Aitona Harbor and all of them were dem- agcd. Many other ships in that harbor, near Hamburg, broke iccae.

The pocket battleship Admiral Scheer was en route to aid the Adrar, all of whose men were re- ported still aboard.

Although Mr. Bennett has mad-é no official statement it has be!!! learned he intends to lead the Con- servative opposition in the Hcus? of Commons. He will probably take a. long rest once he has passed the reins of office over to Mr. Mac- kenzie King. A whirlwind campaign during which he delivered About 40 speeches and travelled about 10,000 miles. left Mr. Bennett apparently in good health. His party's defeat was accepted with no outward show of emotion other than natural dis- appointment.

HELEZNA, Mont, Oct- 20.—Snow and increasing cold harassed this quake-ridden city today as iarring earth tremors, which have killed two persons and injured cores, continued for the eighth suczessive day. It was feared there might be widespread suffering ryould tem- peratures continue to fall.

Concern was greatest for about 400 refugees in a. tent city at Camp Cconey, the national guard reserv- aiion northeast cf Helena. The tents are not equipped with stoves, and there are no large quarters to which the victims must be moved.

The earth quivered intermittently today, but the shodcs seem “ up- preciably lighter.

Mr. Gallant in his opening 1e- marks regretted that Miss Bacsson was not able to be present. He al- luded to the great success of the library and that Wellington library had been spoken of as the banner library of the Province. He con- gratulated Miss Unice Perry, the custodian on the excellent manner in which she had performed her duties and the assistance she had given to readers in the choice of books. There were nearly 1,000 readers and the class of books given out were of s. very fine order.

Mm Perry EB-ve a short account oi the progress of the library during the past year and paid tribute to those people outside of the district who had donated money for ‘ibrary use. She also thanked the Women's Institutes for their donations. Miss Perry called the attention of teazh- ers to the opportunity they have of taking books from the library for the use of their pupils.

Professor Blanchard

Professor Blanchard was the first guest speaker and gave a most interesting review of the history, importance and possibilities of lib- raries. Mr. Blanchard gave a des- mDtion of the vast libraries kept by the ancient Egyptians and- also referred to the Grecian and Roman early literature. Professor Blanchard pointed out that civilized people from the very early times recogniz- ed the importance of having events placed on record and that the peo- ple of today are reaping the benc- fit of those early historians in hav- ing at our disposal all the writings of the philosophers.

The speaker also referred to the monks, who copied the works of the great masters and the sacred bocrrs
