PLATFORM DRAWN BY WILLIAMS :.
SATISFACTORY TO JUDGE PARKER
Text of the Draft WhichMay Become
DemoCracy's Argument in
the Campaign.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. LOUIS, July 5.--The making of
the party platform will be one of the
most interesting of the contests. 1t is
certain that many persons. disappoint-
ed in their inability to add their share
of authority in the ticket making, will
take up the platform discussion and
advance ideas as widely diverging as
those presented in the. dozens of the
State convention platforms offered for
the consideration of the national con-
vention.
The New York delegation is active
in the platform question and the Bryan
forces are equally alert. While it is
unlikely that any effort will be made
to reaffirm the Kansas City and Chi
cago money planks. il is deemed i'm
probable that an attempt will be made
TO declare for the gold standard. There
fore both factions have their idea as to
what the harmonizing planks will be.
PLATFORM PARKER FAVORS.
1t is said that the platform drawn up
by John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
is acceptable TO the Parker men. Some
Of it's main features are as follows:
I'VE favor economy in the Federal
administration, and to that end the
cutting off of all unnecessary and i'm
perialistic expenditures-the former as
soon as possible after our accession to
power and the latter gradually, but
surely and safely.
We favor the nomination and cleo
ton of President trained in the ways
Of the Constitution. who shall set his
face sternly against executive usurpa-
tion of legislative and judicial func-
tiOns. whether that usurpation be veil
ed under the guise of executive con-
struction of existing laws or whether
it take refuge in the tyrant's plea of
necessity or superior wisdom.
we favor a wise, conservative and
business-like revision and reduction of
the tariff by friends OF the masses and
Of the common veal and not by friends
Of its abuses, its extortions and its dis
elimination, keeping in view the ulti-
mate end Of equality of burdens and
equality of opportunities and the con-
stitutional purpose of raising revenue
by taxation.
We favor q reduction of tariff tax

STRIKE SITUATION IN
SYDNEY is SERIOUS
Militia and Disorderly Element Clash
and Plans Are Made to Meet
Further Trouble.

SYDNEY, G. B., July 5.-The strike
situation here is critical, but the city
officials express the opinion that the
militia now on duty will be able to
hold the disorderly element in check.
The Sydney Field Battery and a de-
tachment from the Forty-ninth High
land Regiment are patrolling the Do

new danger which concerns this
section is the possible extension of the
strike of the collieries of the Dominion
Coal Company, a corporation which,
although controlled by the interests
which own the steel works, has not
been brought into the difficulty up to
this time.
The military and the strikers clashed
to-day when the crowd about the steel
works refused to let Director Frazer Of
the works, a sales agent and the super
intendent reach the gates. A squad of
soldiers was called, and it was only by
vigorous use of the bayonet that a
passageway was made. 1t is apparent
that the strikers are masters of the sit
uation outside the works

ton to increase the military on duty to
1000 for the further protection of the
non-union men.
