PACKERS STRIKE IS
 MAKING SOCIALISTS
President DonneIy Says Great Third Socialistlc Party Will Finally
 Arise.

Chicago August s.-President. Michael Donnelly of the national meat cutters and butchers workmen union. said today
 "rhe packing houses strike Is the great est educator of socialism the west has ever experienced From being uneonsci- ous socialists, the workers are realizing that they are in reality a part of the great socialist movement. The harsh treatment meted out to the strikers by the packers and the innuman conditions under which they are willing to have men and women live and work In their slaughter house has brought organized labor to the conclusion that propertied class has no hesitation Tn consigning the masses to a fate worse than that of the slaves MT. Edward Tildens advocacy of child labor In the yards has also added fuel to the flame of socialism.
 From this class distinction and recog- nitibn will arise the great socialist third party to achieve reforms by the ballot in- stead of the strike"

SFVENTY-TWO BODIES HAVE
 BEEN RECOVERED FROM WRECK
NATIONAL COMMITTEE
 PLANS FOR THE BATTLE
Democrats Decide Not to Open Branch Headquarters in the West at Present. Senator German Was Not at Meetng
 But Was Frequently Consulted by the Members

which the democrats deem essential to entire success. The general conditions in New York, New Jersey W est Virginia, Indiana and Wisconsin were discussed and men from these states gave the com mittee such information as they had.
 Senator German was not at the meet ing. remaining in his room at the Fifth avenue hotel but there were frequent communications between the executive committee and the Maryland senator. Af- ter adjournment Chairman Sheehan had quite a lengthy conference with Senator German. At the solicitation of Mir. Tag gart, today's meeting was presided over by Chairman Sheehan of the executive committee.
 MT. Taggart said after the meeting that he was ex-officio chairman of the com- mlttee and in his absence MT. Nicoll would be ex-officio chairman. There has been some doubt as to MT. Taggarts connection with the executive commit tee, but the meeting today seemed to recognize the chairman, the vice chair man and the secretary as members
 It seems to be understood as a result of the meeting of the democratic execu- tive committee today ana conferences which were held after the committee ad- journed. that the executive committee will have active charge of the presidential campaign, and Is in fact campaign com mittee. This will mean that the import ant work of management will devolve upon William F. Sheehan and the men selected by Chairman Taggart as his as sociates All matters of policy and prooe- dure will be determined by the executive committee. As announced by Chairman Taggart at the time he appointed the executive committee. Senator German will act In an advisory capacity to the execu- tive committee. This accounts for the frequent conferences between the senator and the members of the committee today.
 After MT Sheehan and MT. German had been in conference this morning, MT, Sheehan sent for Mir. 'faggart and had conference lasting late into the night, in which the general policy and management of the campaign was discussed.

 Tt was determined not to open branch headquarters in the west or to name ad- ditional committees for the present.
 Plans of organization were taken up and thoroughly mapped out.
 Chairman Cowherd of the congression- al committee was in conference with the executive committee during the after noon.''
 The epitome of five hours work, author ized by Chairman Sheehan, does not go into any details of the meeting, and mem- bers of the committee were also very re- tlcent, although the statement was made that the session was harmonious, and the conclusions were reached without dis cord.
 Chairman Taggart denied that the de- cision not to establish brancn headunar- ters in the west at present was due to any difference about location or because he suggested Indianapolis in preference to Chicago.
 Every member of the committee said that the existing differences between Patrick H. McCarren and Charles r. Murphy in Greater New York were not taken up.
 There was a general interchange of views concerning conditions in states
