RAILROAD AFTER THE LAND
REASON FOR IT'S DiSCOuRAGEMENT
OF TRAFFIC TIC THE PARK.
President DashicII Says New Blood Is
N~eeded-News of Affairs
at bethany

Never in the history of the Acton Park
Association has there been such a dearth
of enthusiasm shown as has been the case
this summer. While the assembly has been
opened but one week, it has been long
enough to show the members of the asso-
cation that something must be done to
draw people to the resort that was so popu-
lar a few years ago.
There are nearly two hundred cottages
on the grounds. and less than half that
number are occupied. Some of the resi-
dents say the hot weather caused the fall
ing off i'm attendance. Another source Of
information says that the Big Four Rail-
road Company is trying TO buy the prop
erty and will. when the opportunity comes.
lessen the attendance at Acton Park as
much as possible. This latter theory is
in degree borne out by the fact hat the
railroad company refused to stop its late
trains at the park this year In past years
the schedule arranged was in every way
suitable for the managers OF the park,
and great crowds came each day and re
manned until II o'clock at night.
When the park opened this year the an
nouncement came from the officials of the
railroad that the late trains could be
stopped only when twenty-five cash pas
sengers were at the park. This order
caused quite a stir among the directors
OF the association. Some thought of a
movement among the cottage holders win
a view of petitioning the railroad to re-
scind its action.
President Dashiell saw that the action of
the railroad company was hurting the sue
cess OF this years meeting and ne imme-
diately appointed a committee composed
of Mr.. DIN, l.. q. Akin and the Rev. G.
w. Tinsley TO see the railroad officials.
The matter hung fire with the railroad
company for a week. and it was not until
last night that word was received from
General Manager Schaff. at Cincinnati,
that the late trains could be stopped if ten
cash passengers are at the park.
To-day will b. held the annual meet
ing of the directors of the association. 1T
is saiu that all the Old directors will con-
sent TO reelection except the Rev. &. w.
Tinsley. TIL latter. ii is said. refuses to
allow his name to come up for reelection,
as he sees the decadence of the park anu
wishes to serve no longer. President
Dashiell. who has served i'm that capacity
for eleven years, when asked last even
ing for his view of the situation. said il
was hard for men to look after such mat
tiers without pay. He acted as president
for four years without return of any kind
and for several years later he received
hardly enough to pay for the trouble. He
said that it was being realized that Young
men must be put on the various boards and
lew ideas infused into the managemen OF
| the association.

1.-THE SOCIALIST PARTY,


The plastering on the walls of Masonic
Hall was not in so much danger of crumb-
ling away from the effects of laundering
debates in the Socialist unity convention
yesterday, as the delegates who had
strained their vocal cords on Tuesday were
unable to make a great noise during yester-
days session. There was the usual amount
of clubbing over trivial matters. as some
delegates termed it, and it was 4:25 p. m.
before the platform was adopted.
The morning session was consumed with
eioquence. There were fewer insinuations
hurled during the morning session than at
any time during the convention, because
the FUND OF carefully constructed eplthets
had been exhausted. Before the adjourn
ment of the morning session ii was voted
that the immediate demands should re-
main In the platform, and at the afternoon
meeting the debating was resumed on the
wording of the preamble OF the platform
and the Immediate demands
CHANGES IN THE PLATFORM.
The changes in the platform as agreed
upon before it was adopted are few. In
the third paragraph of the platform the
first sentence was amended to read. "Pri-
vate ownership Of means Of production and
distribution. etc, instead OF Private own
ership of the tools Of production" etc. In
the later part Of the same paragraph the
word public is omitted from the sentence
relating TO capitalists controlling the gov
eminent, press. pulpit ana school, and now
reads. The possession OF the means OF
livelihood gives to the capitalists the con-
troll of the government, the press, the pulpit
and schools" etc.
The last sentence was stricken from the
seventh paragraph. and the eighth para
graph was also omitted from the platform.
The FIRST four demands as published IN
the Journal yesterday morning in The
amended demands were adopted with the
changing OF a few words. In the first de-
! mand the first sentence is changed from
THE public ownership of all means OF
TRANSPORTATION" etc, 10 The collective
tence. The funds for this purpose to be
collected from the revenue OF the capitalist
class and to be administered under the con-
troll OF the working class. was amended
to read. THE funds for this purpose TO be
collected from the government and to be
administered. etc.
There was also a change In the additional
paragraph TO the demands as follows: But
In advocating these measures as steps In
the overthrow of capitalism and the estab-
lishment OF the cooperative common
wealth, we warn the working class against
the so-called public ownership movements
as an attempt of the capitalist class TO Sc
cure governmental control ~ public utilities
for the purpose OF obtaining greater Sc
tries and not for the amelioration OF the
conditions OF the working class"
With the amendments as given the plat
form was dOpted amid great applause by
tine comrades OF both factions.
