Republican Platform Plank
on Civil Service DisappOints
Falls Short of Requests Made by Samuel
Gompers OLA. F. OIL. and Representatives of
Federal Employees Association.

10000 Offices outside of the civil serv-
ice law at an annual cost of $44,O0O,0OO
to the taxpayers of the country.
I'VE condemn the gross abuse and
misuse of the law by the present dem
ocratic administration and pledge our
selves to a reorganization Of this serv-
ice along lines of efficiency and econ
omy."
From Platform of 1912.
The plank is not SO liberal in its ex-
pressions as was the republican plank
Of the last campaign. which reads as
follows:
I'VE reaffirm our adherence to the
principle of appointment to public Of
fee based on proved fitness and tenure
during good behavior and efficiency.
The republican party stands commit
ted to the maintenance, extension and
enforcement of the civil service law,
and it favors the passage of legisla-
ton empowering the President to ex-
tend competitive service SO far as prac-
ticable.
I'VE favor legislation to make pos
sible the equitable retirement of dis
abled and superannuated members Of
the civil service. in order that a higher
standard of efficiency may be main
tanned.
I'VE favor the amendment of the fed
eral employees liability law SO as to eX-
tend its provisions to all government
employees as well as to provide a more
liberal scale of compensation for in
jury and death"

CHICAGO PEACE" CONFERENCE
SITS FAR INTO THE NIGHT
Men Who Were Bitter Foes Four Years AGO
Indulge in Friendly Discussion
of the Situation

CHICAGO. June s.-Uncertainty as
thick and obdurate as the murky
weather that has hung over Chicago
for three days prevailed with the open
ing Of the third day of the convention,
and all eyes were strained to catch the
first possible clearing of the political
clouds.
No man on the ground was able to
predict on basis of fact what the next
twenty -four hours might bring out of
the haze; whether it would be harmony
and reunited republican party or
disagreement and dual nominations by
the two big conventions.
The day was ushered in by a mid
night conference that will become his
toric If peace" comes from the pro-
gressive and republican conventions.
which took place at the Chicago Club.
on Michigan boulevard.
Adjourns Without Definite Results.
The conference adjourned before 1
o'clock without definite results. 1t was
said. and details of it's deliberations
were withheld. 1t may meet again this
afternoon or tonight or it may not.
Only the developments Of the day can
determine that.
It was a remarkable picture formed
by the men seated about the conference
board, in whose hands practically rest
ed tho destinies Of the republican and
progressive parties.
The republican committee was COM
posed of Senator Reed Smoot Of Utah,
chairman; Former Senator w. Murray
Crane of Massachusetts,, Senator Will
liam E. Borah Of Idaho, Nicholas Muir
ray Butler Of New York and A. R.
johnson Of Ohio.
The progressive committee had George
W. Perkins of New York for chair
man and the other members were Gov.

ace b. Wilkinson of New York. Charles

NJ. Parker of New Orleans.

Smoot and Butler were determined ad
vocates of methods to prevent the

r. Johnson, then in Congress, supported

refused to leave the republican party.

has been for Col. Roosevelt and Roose-

party in Louisiana. Mr..

were asked to leave. Standing around

was a huge policeman who stood guard
at the door.
Policemen are easy to Bert He took
OF his hat and coat and took up a big
waste basket and filed it with papers
and books. With the waste basket
high up in his arms so as to hide his
face he assumed the air Of a janitor,

policeman. "let me In there quick, they

The policeman stepped aside; the
pseudo janitor went in just in time to
hear the committee vote IS to IL for
Raymond Robins as chairman for the
convention. This indicates a fight
against Robins. Bert went out, wired
the vote and the true state of affairs.
A little later the committee fixed up
to announce that the vote had been
unanimous and all was harmony. How
ever, this young st. Clair person, being
one of the best janitors in the news
