Montreal. June 24.-Many striking gar

mass meeting today their discomfort at
the manner in which organizers from the

voted to organize into a union. to be
known as the Canadian Garment Work

Speakers declared they had been prom

TARIFF WORK OF THE HOUSE
TO BE STRONGLY INDORSED
IN DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

Baltimore. June 24.-If Mr.. Bryan should
not be temporary chairman Of the demo-
cratic convention. he probably will be
chairman of the committee on resolu-
tions. He will be representative of his
state on that committee ana his position
In the party is such that the place will
be conceded to him. The general opinion
is that he will prepare the greater part
Of the platform, many think he now has
much of It written but he is reticent on
the subject.
Delegates were too much occupied to-
day with the temporary chairmanslfp to
give much close attention to resolu-
ton, but in so far as there was express
sion on the subject, it Indicated a har-
monious condition. Representatives OF
some eastern states expressed apprehen-
sion that there may be an effort to force
approval of the initiative, referendum and
recall. II there is 1t will be opposed. Mr..
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1912-06-25

Bryan has, however, indicated the opin-
ion that these pertain only TO state ad-
ministration and It is not believed that
he will contend for any radical pro-
nouncement on this subject.
There certainly will be planks pledging
the party to the support of income tax
legislation. TO the election OF senators by
direct vote of the people and to primary
elections.
The protective tariff will be held respon-
sible for the trusts and the high cost OF
living and there will be a positive declara-
tlon for rapid revision downward. Proba-
bly, the procedure by schedule as prac-
ticed by the present House OF Represen-
tatives viii be advocated. The tariff
work of the House will be strongly in
dorsed and the Presidents tarin vetoes
as strongly condemned. 1t will be a
tariff for revenue platform. All factions
are committed to this plank and IL there
Is any difference Of opinion It will be
on phraseology rather than on policy.

The oncoming hats excited the rooster,
and he flew in a spirit of fight again e
each of them. And then as If he had
conquered, he vaulted upon the one hat

his wings in disdainful fashion, emitted
a crow of defiance.
This set the Alabamians wild, for the

Mr. Underwood did not enter into dis
cussion of the situation save to say that
no one would secure the nomination on
the first ballot.
I'VE have a good chance, however, he
affirmed Although this is a conven-

Not for Publication
For publication he did not discuss Bry-
an, although the fact is generally known
that when the Nebraska Barkis" failed
to send the Alabamian telegram pro-
testing against Parker. he was insinuat-
ing to the nation at large that Mr.. Under
wood is not so-called progressive. The
delegation however. told Mr.. Underwood
what lie probably already knew that Bry-
an Is still a tri1e sore because on the
floor of Congress the leader of the ma
jority had, in reference to a statement
of the disturbing element. In more blunt
style. than through insinuation, crowned

PRESIDENT WALDRONS REPORT
Shows COMMERCIAL CLUB ACTIVE
Annual Meeting Marked by En-
thuSiasm and Bright Pros
poets for Future

The Commercial Club of Honolulu
has made a fine record for the past
year, the report of retiring President
F. L. Waldron at the annual meeting
indicating healthy condition of af-
fairs.
In his report, President Waldron
called attention to the agitation for
a commercial building. and noted that
there is every possibility that the
Commercial Club may have new and
larger quarters in such a building.
The report says:
We now record the Sixth annual
Meeting of The Commercial Club of
Honolulu, with a membership of 227
resident, 40 nonresident, l honorary
and temporary, a total of 269 men,
bers as against 261 at the time of our
last annual meeting.
The reports which have been care
fully prepared by Secretary Bon and
Treasurer Gignoux will show the
same thrifty condition of the club as
has been evidenced since it's organi-
cation.
Your Board of Governors has held
20 meetings uuIIllS Tie past yedl Will
an average attendance of ten and
there have been no meetings post
poned by reason of lack of quorum.
On account of the near future ne
cessity of more floor space, the Off
GERS and members of this Club were
particularly interested in the pro,
posed commercial building which
would make a home for the principal
commercial bodies under one roof. 1t
is to be regretted that after several
meetings of the joint committees, the
project had to be abandoned for the
time being.
A New Home.
At the present moment, it appears
probable that some of the wealthy
estates will shortly erect one or more
buildings on desirable sites, in which
event a larger home for this club
would no doubt receive favorable con-
sideration by the owners of such a
