ndrieS at Chicago.
The nti-IRjuRCti0a Plan Proposed

Wafded by the President
and Other Magnates
Seem Doomed
to Eefeat.

Chicago, June ia curious feature
of the convention proceedings today is
the activity of Wall street men in their
effort to get the multiplication plank,
favored by Samuel Gompers into the
platform.
The most prominent visitors to the
committee on resolutions during the
forenoon were George w. Perkins,
member of the firm of J. P. Morgan
aud Co. and Ebert II. Gary, Of the
Sted trust, boil of whom are alarmed
lest the convention refuses to put the
anti-injunctien plank to appease the
abor vote, and the party thereby lose
thousands OF votes on this issue alone.
Senator Crane, of Massachusetts a
member of the committee said there is
no doubt the anti-injunction plank will
be defeated in the committee by a vote
of thirty to twentythree.
enato Borah, ofIdaho, brought the
Iowa disputants word-supposedly
from the white house-that it the
state could agree as between Bolivar
and Cummins, one or other, might be
named, but the Iowa situation is still
complicated by the fact that the enemies
of Governor Cummins do not want him
to succeed Bolivar in the Senate.
Fight Of h day is expected to come
when the INDUCTION plank is reached
late this afternoon.
Though some leaders :of the allies,
including speaker Cannon, insists that
injunction will not be mentioned, the
belief is general that, despite the wish
es of the president, the anti-injuncion
plank will be defeated when reported.
Gompers and Grand Master Msr-
rissey: eff the American trainmen are
indignant at the treat1n ent of the COM
mittee on resolutions which held them
off saying that there twas no quorum
present. These claim there was a
quorum.
With Mayor Charles w. BookwaItsr,
of Indianapolis, as their leader, the
allies after an all night session have
decided to fight to the last ditch, the
report shat goes in this afternoon from
the credentials committee seating all
the Taft delegates. Bookwalter says:
ut is the most outrageous and dis
gracefully high-handed performance I
have aver seen in all my experience in
politics. The merits of every case
were completely disregarded, no mat
ter how good the ground for contest,
and every man not for Taft was
promptly thrown out of the window.
MI. Fultun, Of Oregon, for the COM
mittes on credentials, which had been
up all night reported that the majority
of b committee decided that the con-
vsntion roll made upIby the National
Committee % made the permanent
roll. This seats all the Taft mon.
Chicago, June 18.-Before the Re-
publican National Convention. that
opened at ten o'clock his morning,
comes to an end, William n. Taft, of
Ohio, will have been nominated for
president of the United States and the
platform on which he will run will
have been completed.
Delegates and managers of the vari-
Gus candidates know that nothing is
to be gained by waiting-particular1y
as the weather clerk has handed out
sizzling temperature for today and
delegates are already sweating in their
seats. All are in their shirt sleeves
and Taft managers make a hit by
disturbing fans.
At 345 this afternoon Congressman
Burton ia nominating Taft.
