Two Socialist Parties
From tho Now York worI

The harshcst criticism to be parsed
upon tho platform Of the new Farmerc
Labor Party is that it is n ferociUis at.
tack upon the United States Of Americas
II what Is said in this dclivcrarce be true,
the Republican has been subverted by
the rich and the great mnss OF the people
have been reduced to slavery and poverty.
Probably this grotesquc falahood rep
rcsents in somewhat exaggerated form the
views Of the supcrheated champions Of
Marxism, of Lcninism and of Sim Fein-
ism, who constituted an important Gle
mcnt in the conven tion. But thofe familiar
with political departures and the queer
people who come to the front on such
occasions will remember that the decline
or fall Of the Republic il always Sc up as a
justification for their movements, and
will let 1T go at that.
Aside from an extremely comprehensive
plan Of government ownership the prin-
ciples and demands get forth by the new
party are surprisingly moderate. Most
of them are to be found in some form in
the platform ofone or the other of the
old parties. The plank favoring demo
cratic control OF industry" which has
been denounced as comnunistic, calls
simply for IAN increasing share in the
responsibilities and management of in

If this former conceive n purpose to

Stripped Of it's eide issues It's despair
Of the Republic and its hatred Of the old
parties, the new organization appears To
rest its cause chiefly upon government

water-powers, cold-storage and terminal
warehouses, mines and all lands contain

however, the new party merely echoes
theInternational Socialists, who in their
platform declared for ownership and in
addition summoned those who believe
in that doctrine Ito prepare for a com
plete reorganization uf our social system"

CONDITIONS AMONG
HARD COAL MINERS
Anthracite Commission May Make
Tour for Investigation at
First Hand.
By Associated Press to Every Evening

/. Scranton, Pa, July Members OF
the Anthracite Coal Commission will
tour the hard coal region and make a first
hand investigation as TO the standards
and conditions of living of the mine work
ers, If they accept an invitation extended
TO them by s. ID. Warringer, president OF
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com
pany and representative Of the operators,
at this afternoons session of the commis-
sion.
The invitation grew out of the cross
examination of Mr.. Warringer by w.
Jett Lauck, consulting economist of the
mine workers, on Mr.. Warringers state
ment to the commission that evidence
the operators are paying the miners a
living wage was to be found in the COM
fort in which all of the anthracite work.
ers are able to live.
The offer followed the cross examin-
alton of +. II. Huber, of the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Company, who had expressed
the opinion that 1884 per day was
sufficient wage for the mine worker TO
support himself and family according to
the American standard of living,
"Do YOU believe a mine worker can
live and support a family according to
that standard on daily wage of 1894?
Vice-President Murray asked.
al not only believe it, answered Mr..
Huber, 81 know it, I've seen him do it.

MAY DRIVE TURK FROM
EUROPE ONCE AND FOR ALL

London, July ia threat to drive the
Turk from Europe "once and for all' is
contained in the allied reply to the Turkish
objections to the peace treaty, made pub
lie here today. Such action might fol-
low Turkeys refusal to sign the treaty or
her failure to give it effect, the reply
states.
add May Drive Turks-London date % 20
The allies arranged to deliver this ulti-
matum TO the Turkish peace delegation
in Paris today. The Turks are informed
that they must signify their willingness
to sign the peace treaty within ten days,
failing which "the allied powers will take
such action as they may consider neces-
sary in the circumstances"
The note adds: "If the Turkish govern
ment refuses to sign the peace; still more
if it find itself unable to re-establish its
authority in Anatolia or give effect to
the treaty, the allies, in accordance with
the terms of the treaty, may be driven to
reconsider this arrangement by ejecting
the Turks from Europe once and for all. +"

GERMANS AGREE.

in agreeing to tho allied demand at the
Spa conference that Germany deliver TO
the allies 100000 tons of coal before
October Is is voiced in manifesto pub
lished here by the League of independent
Trade Unions, representing 1000, ,0OO
workers.
The manifesto declares the agree
ment was an attempt to subject German
workers 10 permanent servItude TO foreign
capitalistic interests. Nationwide un-
employment as a result of the agreement
Is feared by the league
The Kreuz Zeitung, organ of the Pan
Germans, says.
Germany has again accepted terms
she cannot carry out"
The Freiheit organ of the Independent
Socialists approved the agreement.
A semi-official statement says:
''No other decision was possible after
Marshal Foch had been summoned.
On one hand there was invasion of Ger
many with its incalculable political and
economic consequences and on the other
a reduction by 8 per cent of the coal
supply TO German consumers, with the
possibility, however, of remaining master
in ones house."

PARIS NEWSPAPERS
ARE NOT SATISFIED

Paris, July 1.-THE Allied-German
conference at Spa seems to have failed to
satisfy the Paris newspapers.
The conference" remarks St. Brice
in the Journal, wandered from the path
to quick results, which is not the least OF
the regrets which it leaves behind it,
The Figaro says: ''T'he least that
can be said is that the situation remains
confused and disquieting"
Indemnities received by the allies from
Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria will be
divided into two equal portions, accord
ing to advices received from Spa. The
first half will be distributed to the various
nations in the same portions as were
decided upon in apportioning German rep
arations. OF the second half Italy will
receive 30 per cent and the rest will be
divided between Serbia, Rumania and
Greece.

M'IVOR is GRANTED

on the day Mclvor was sentenced IN
which it was pointed out that the reckless
driving of automobiles must be stopped
and that substantial sentence should be
imposed.
A conditional pardon was recommended
| by the board for the following reasons:
Because of production to the board of
after discovered evidence on important
issues and because of the representation
of his being an especially careful driver of
many wears experiences and of his excep-
ceptional character as a citizen and his
model conduct since his confinement
in the worhousc, and for the further
reason that he be not convicted Of
any offense especially referring TO the
motor vehicle laws of this State, for a
term of four years"
Mrs Mclvor on hearing of the news of
the boards action, was overioyed and
had Governor Townsend been at the
State House Yesterday probably she would
have had the pleasure of having her
husband accompany her back to Phila-
delphia last night The pardon will be
effective the early part of next week, it
was said today.
THREE CASES CONSIDERED.
Two other cases were considered. The
first was that OF Joseph Hirszach, who had
been indicted in New Castle county for
the larceny of some brass from the Har-
Ian shipyard. On the board 5 recommended
tion he was paroled for six months under
the care of State Probation Officer Oliver
MIR. Oliver was present and was notified
OF his duties In this respect.
The second case was that of Boyd +.
West, William Greenhaugh, William
RAInox. II-lar t. all
young Dover boys, who were sentenced
to one and one-half wears Imprisonment
In the New Castle county workhouse,
charged with an assault on a young white
girl of Dover All of the boys were rep
resented by John ID. Hawkins, n Dover
attorney, who expressed the opinion of
the board that the boys, whose ages range
from Il TO 2l years, were too old for the
Ferns School and too young for the work
| house. Attorney Hawkins also spoke of
having telephoned and written to Warden
Plummer concerning the boys and that
his suggestion would be that If a pardon
was granted at this time, consideration
| be given to Greenhaugh and FAIRIES, but
that action should be deferred in the case
of West and Fisher until later date, the
reason assigned for postponement in the
latter cases being that of an infraction of
the rules OF the workhouse by West and
Fisher. Hawkins also advanced the theory
that if the boys were allowed TO remain
IN prison the full time, it would have a
tendency to harden them in crime, this
he claimed having been his experience In
other cases of ike nature
Deputy Attorneys General Satterfeld
replied on the part OF the State that the
case in question was not of the ordinary
assault class and that it was the opinion
of the states officers that the boys should
not be pardoned AT this time. The board
decided to continue the application as to
Greenhaugh and FARES until October
and rs to West and Fisher until November

through the canal this season, and from

the total is about 43 miles.
There is one big difference this year

more acceptable to the mass Of the people
represented by this strange aascmblage
than Mr.. Dcbs, who is already in the
field 80 far ~ his engagements Mt the
Atlanta Pcnitentiary will allow.
One OF the principal reasons urged for
the organization Of the new party was
the allegation that there is no substantial
difference between the principles
and practices Of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. Whether that be true or not, two
Socialist parties will not help matters
any. They do not even pretend to differ
as to the main object in view, which Is
To give our basic industries into the
hands of politicians and office-holdcrs.

THIRD-PARTY PSYCHOLOGY.

Many find IL hard 10 understand the
anxiety to found a third party. They think
that among the elegant line Of parties
already in the market something could be
found 10 suit the most exigent taste. u ~
understood, Of course, that the moving
spirits IN the effort at Chicago TO combine
all the explosives into one gigantic bomb
are in hot revolt against the two his
toric parties. Democrats, or Republi-
cans they can no longer be. But admitting
that, and allowing that decree Of separa-
tion ought 90 be granted on the ground
OF hopeless incompatibility, why can they
not satisfy themselves elsewhere? They
frankly avow themselves Socialists, some
of them amiabls gentlemen. Then why
don't they join tho Socialist Party2 Others
have conceived sudden but rather
platonic passion for workingmen. IL
would seem as if the Labor Party were
exactly the place for them TO go And
, those Of them who feel that they cannot
stop until all private property, except
their own, is taken over by the State for
the use OF the community, might find
haven Of rest and happiness, it might b.
supposed, in one on the other Of the
branches Of the Communist Party. Why
go to all the trouble and expense Of start
ing a new party to attain objects already
ardently sought by existing organizations
