Bisbee daily review., 1920-07-11

f1Og Island. and aircraft and Snit- building and cantonment construc- tions. and nitrate plant appropriations are still stalking through the land Scandal! Is it no scandal that in the year 1917. the year of supreme sacri- flee when our boys were fighting and dying for $50 month. and our people were economizing and sacrificing to buy Liberty bonds, that the United States Steel corporation made net earnings of ssSS,s31,511. or twenty million dollars more than it's total capital stock? What can we cali that orgy of war profiteering but a set of the most interruptions scoundrels who ever fattened out of the necessities miseries of great nation at war? Shall we acknowledge that scandal is Capper: If this is be not grand lar ceny ia day time. do not know what else we should call it. Even so the scandal remains, for such profiteering was never prosecuted by the persecut- ing attorney general"
 Division between the liberal and radical elements was brought out in the rules debate when Winburne Hale of New York. said the state delega- tions were divided "fifty-one per cent liberal and 49 per cent radicals" He was pleading for change in the rules that would prevent the radicals be- ing outvoted by. the majority liberals
 but the majority ruled and his plea was lost.
 Participation of the single taxers in today's convention followed an earlier session. at which they decided to pre- sent their platform demands and views on candidates. They are un- derstood to be willing to accept either Charles H. Ingersoll, watch manufac- turer or Amos Pinchot, one of the leaders of the Committee of 4S, for presidential nominee. They are. op- posed, their leaders say, to accepting Robert M LaFollette the favorite pres idential candidate of the forty-eight- CTS and may bolt the convention and select their own ticket if LaFollette is nominated.
 Determination of the single taxers course was declared to be contingent upon three things:
 First, the platform. which they said, must include a single tax plank; sec ond. the candidate; and third, the name of the party.
 The party name promises to develop a fight. Members of the single tax group want some reference to their name incorporated in the party name The labor party of the United States whose convention gets under way to- morrow is willing to join the third party movement and probably will ac- cent LaFollette as a candidate, but demands that the word Tabor" be in cluded in the party designation.
 As organized today, the committee of 4S convention numbered 5S9 ac- credited delegates with a majority or | 27O reouired to nominate. The o5s included, in addition to the forty-elgh'- CTS and single taxers. fraternal deie- gates from the non-partisan league triple aHI,nce of the northwest, farm ers' National Council. People $ I Money League, the Producers League 1 and Consumers League.
 The committee of As embraces number of well known liberal ieau- 1 CTS. some of whom were prominent in the Bull Moose movement eight years ago. The committee was form ed last year at St. Louis with mem Der for each state.
 l While delegates debated rules ana resolutions today, their committee continued negotiations with the laDor partv. Both conventions expect to De
 ready Monday to take up and com plete sn one days session their plat
 form, which. it is expected. will De almost identical.
