concentrations
The Republican platform practically
ignores the profteer," the statement
added and while recognizing the evil
Of currency initiation offers no remedy for

OLD GUARD TURNS TO
HARDING TO BREAK THE
DEADLOCK A 4 CHICAGO

but the California senator described the
visit as convention call.' Details
of the meeting were not disclosed. 1t
gained significance because hackers of
the Harding movement are looking to
johnson supporters for aid if their
plans materialize.
The tentative plans of originators of
the new Harding boom was contingent
upon failure of the early votes today
TO result in nominations of Wood, Low
den or Johnson The Harding boomers
expected to receive enough support in
addition to the G1h votes he polled on
the last roll cali yesterday to pave
the way for a drive for his nomination
later.
Originators Of the Harding compro-
mise plan were known to be seeking
support of the California senator adher-
ents if it became clear that Johnson
could not be nominated. To insure
strong reinforcement from that direc,
tion some leaders urged during the
night conferences that a ticket of
Harding for president and Johnson for
vice president, be put forward.
There was nothing to indicate that Sen
ator Johnson would consent. Governor
Coolidge also was mentioned as pos
sible running mate for Harding should
Senator johnson elect to give his sup
port but not his name.
General Wood was Informed of the
new move He brought his managers
together during the night and they de
termined to stick by their guns.
| At 1925 O'Clock Chairman Lodge
| called todav's session of the Republican
| national convention to order for tbs
| fifth ballot. The leaders, worn sleep
| less. were late in reaching the conven
ton hall. but the delegates with theil
| interest raised to fever heat came early
| hoping to see the thing finished tha
| they might get away for the day
| At 1915 the fifth ballot was ordered
and the clerk called the roll
The four ballots yesterday failed t.
mite the necessary majority on nom
inee. 1t was the FIRST time SINCE 18s'
1 that more than three ballots found tn
party without a choice and the sev
enth time since the nomination Of Lin
oln that more than one ballot ha,
been required.
The big three-Wood, Lowden an
Johnson-were AZ their high waite
lmarks when the convention, after tn
fourth ballot, adjourned.
The contest then stood: Wood 314h

The employees assembled about the
office and Ernest &. Gustafson, overseer
of weaving, in their behalf presented Mr..
Morrill, purse of 500 in gold and a
gold handled umbrella, also large bou-
quet for Mrs. Morrill,.
Mr. Morrill, was much surprised, and
after Mr.. Gustafson had made the pre-
sentation, expressing the esteem and
goodwill of the entire force, Mr.. Morrill,
collected himself and made a very pleas
ing response, in which he said that the
employees of the Fort Dummer Mills rep
resented the cream of nationalities and
that he was proud of them. He thanked
i them for their cooperation and for their
expressions OF regard, and urged them
to give his successor the same loyalty
and evidence of good feeling.
Three rousing cheers We're then given
for Mr.. Morrill, and three for his sue
cessor.
Mr.. Morrill, became superintendent of
the Fort Dummer Mills June Is six years
ago, coming here from Kankakee, H.,
where he was superintendent of the Para

CARPENTERS WORK
OVERTIME AT PROFIT

Wcrk-Unions Object to Their
Doing So Much Work

FITCHBURG, Mass, June 12.-Car
penters who take advantage of the
three or four hours after their eight
hour davs, made possible by the new
daylight saving law, are causing no end
of trouble and inconvenience to the
trades union leaders in the city, it was
announced from an official source to-
day. Not content with working eight
hours at dollar an hour, some of them
get Jobs on the side by hurrying
through their suppers and thus clean mp
as much as 81 extra some evenings.
1t Is because the trades unions will
not allow union carpenters to do such
work that the trouble is caused the
leaders. Six men from Leominster
We're on the carpet this week for work

usually punishable by a fine which
takes all the money earned on the job
and each succeeding fine is as large.
All work no matter whether done
in the day time or after the regular
working hours. must be done through
contractors, it was announced. Trades

MAYOR THOMPSON QUITS.
Resigns as Delegate Rather Than Vote
for Lowden

CHICAGO, June 1a-Mayor Thomp-
son of Chicago resigned as delegate-at-
larg for Illinois yesterday. He gave
as his reason that the state convention
had instructed him TO vote for Gov
ernor Lowden. He said he believed that
if Governor Lowden's 5 campaign ex-
penses had been known at the time,
neither the primary nor the state con-
vention would have indorsed him.
Samuel A. Ettelson, also one of the
delegates at-large, presented his resig-
nation with Mayor Thompson IS. They
presented a joint statement of their
reasons to the chairman of the Illinois
delegation. Both referred to the Low
den campaign expenditures.

WANTS SUFFRAGE RATIFIED.
Platform Asks Republican States
to Approve Amendment.

CHICAGO, June u. - The woman

publican states which have not vet rat
flied the suffrage amendment will do so.
1t was a substitute for a clause calling
upon the governors of states not having
ratified to summon their legislators in
extra session to ratify the amendment
The proposed plank calling upon state
governors whose legislatures have not
ratified the amendment TO call special
sessions was reported to have been
fought principally by Connecticut mem
bers. They pointed out that Governor
Holcomb of Connecticut had refused to
call the legislature on the ground that
such a call would be illegal and the
proposed plank, they declared. would be
an affront to the governor. In view of
the threatened fight, the substitute suf-
frage plank was inserted
