Chicago, May 5-The deliberations OF
the. peace congress We're rudely dis
turs.,d today when A. NJ. Slmons, a
socialist editor, attempted to secure
formal recognition Of Socialism as the
greatest peace force in the world
1t happened after the congress had
officially adopted a platforn in strict
keeping with its well known principles
along broad lines, carefully avoided
matters of sectional or political con-
troversy.
I MI. Sirnons arose with 400 words or
whereasas and BE it Resolved" out-
lining socialistic beliefs and accomp-5
war to "tlia exploitation of labor and
the impoverishment of those who toll.
Great confusion followed. The regular
platform had boen read and amidst the
Atourmoll aroused by the Simons' resolu-
tions there were repeated calls for the
original question. On a viva voce vote
+ the report Of the resolutions commit
tee carried unanimously.
The question then required to the
adoption of the Socialist resolutions.
Secretary Melendy arose to state that
he thought Industrial causes of war
should be recognized and likewise the.
efforts Of those organizations which
make for peace, but he could not vote.
for the resolutions as presented. lie
suggested a substitute resolution less
radically sworded.
IF there is any way by which this
recognition of which Mr. MelendN
speaks can be secured, ] am sure the
Socialists and trade unions will be glad
to make an amendment that would rec..i
ognize this fact said Mr.. Simons
j. Z. Iglehart opposed the Simons res
clutions saying:
MY opinion that this convention will
lose more or less OF it's moral force, es-s
pecinlly With the countries OF Europe,
IL We interject partisan view OF any
question like this into the record
i I. Amid much confusion the resolution
was tabled by a standing vote Of two.
to one. is
Compulsory peace is u incu-.
Var Is n menace of war; broken trea-
ties OF peace are beace breakers, = said
Alfred Fl. Love Of Philadelphia, presi-
dent of the Universal Peace union, in
an address at tha last days session
here today of the second national peace
congress. It is a lamentable page In
our history, continued Mr.. Love, this,
showing to the world the gigantic de-
structiye sDreadnoughts, our boosted In
strul1lents of death, causing other coun-f
tries to Initiate this cowardly, selfish
and unneighborly nationality that can
say on it's coin In God We Trust and
then in its Intercourse with others re-
spud,ate the pSalnlist when he says The
Lord is our refuge and our streng tn.
An exchange of formal greetings be-
tween the diplomatic representatives of
various nations and a business session
to consider the principal results of the
gathering constituted the days work.

court OF Michigan, presided over this
business session,
