BATTLE ROYAL
AS BALLOTING GOES ON
Hickey Tells Of Plot of Big Interests to Put Wood
Over Despite Protests of
Many Leaders

and Lowden fighting every inch of
the way, they moved quietly and or
derly as though they fully realized
that they had been participants in an
event that would live in history.
The nominating and seconding
speeches gave the orators the first
chance the convention had offered
them. In a way they were disap-
pointing. Mostly the honors went to
the women, particularly to one wom-
an, Mrs. Douglas Robinson, sister of
Theodore Roosevelt. l was about to
say that considering her sex she made
a great speech. That would be un-
fair to her and to all women. Her
speech was by all odds the finest bit
of oratory of the session, including
that of the men. She seconded the
nomination. of Wood and held that
vast audience spell-bound, not be-
cause they saw in her the sister of
their beloved leader who lies in his
grave on Sycamore Hill, but because
in her own person she has those quail
tiles of magnetism which set him
apart from the other leaders of men.
Her reference to her brother and to
his friendship for Leonard Wood
were so delicate that they never ap-
preached the danger point of mauldin
sentimentalism. There is no doubt
that she helped the cause Of Wood.
Other women spoke for several of
the other candidates and all of them
went through the trying ordeal with
dignity and credit to themselves and
to the millions Of women whom they
represented. In a word the average
of their oratory, what they said and
the manner of saying it, was much
higher than the average of the men.
Willis Speaks Best.
Former Governor Willis, of Ohio,
in presenting the name of Harding,
took first prize among the orators.
He made friends for Harding. G. S.
Wheeler, of California, who nominat-
ed johnson, took the BOBBY prize.
Instead of starting a stampede for
the California senator he almost
started stampede away from him.
All of Johnson's friends regretted
that Borah had not been selected for
the job. He, at least, would have
had the good sense and the gsod
taste not to attack the other candi-
dates and their delegates, considering
that the only chance johnson had

SEABOARD MEN
OPPOSE
AS PRINCIPLE
For Distribution of Bur
den on Basis of
Wealth

Declaring that they oppose the i'm
position of the proposed $40 annual
Communication tax "as a matter of
principle" workers employed at the
Seaboard Air Line shops here have
adopted resolutions protesting
against that method of raising money
for the support of the city's schools.
The resolutions, which are brief, are
signed by ]. H. Cameron and V. c.
Melton, committee. 1t was explain
ed by j. c. Pouncey, who brought
the resolutions to The Times-Record-
er for publication, that they repre-
sent the attitude of the entire body
of shop workers, including all crafts
employed there, toward the proposed
tax. The resolutions are as follows
"Whereas, 1t is apparent that la
boring men of Americus are unani-
nous in their opposition to the pro
posal to levy a $40 head tax annual
ly for the support of the city's
schools; there be it,
"Resolved. That we, the working
men employed at the Seaboard Air
Line shops in Americus, Georgia, add
our protest to the voice of Others
who have heretofore opposed the
levying of this tax; be it further,
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent Hon, Stephen
Pace, Sumter countg's representa-
tive in the legislature of Georgia
and that he be asked to give same
due consideration when deciding his
attitude toward this proposed bill
be it further,
"Resolved, That the Rotary Club,
the Kiwanis Club, Chamber of Com
merce, and the City Council of Amer
icus be requested before endorsing
tax measures in future to solicit and
ascertain the views of laboring men
upon such proposed legislation; be il
further,
Resolved, That we do not oppose
the granting of living wages to EN-.
ployes of the city of Americas in any
department, and that we oppose the
institution of this proposed head taz
as matter of principle, it being oul
belief that the burden of taxation
should be distributed sin the com.
munity according to the wealth of the
individual, and not according to the
Americus times-recorder., 1920-06-13

during the final hours, while four bal
lots were being taken, the entire as
semblage was tense with excitement
and expectancy.
The session began with the air
full of rumors as to the strategic
plans of the three leading contend
ers for the nomination-Wood, Low
den and Johnson. I discovered yes
terday plot of the big eastern steel
and financial interests, headed by
Judge Gary of the United States
Steel Corporation, to force Woods
nomination at whatever cost-in spite
of the protests of many leaders and
delegates that to do so would be to
court defeat in November. The
great question that everybody was
asking was could they do it or could
the other candidates, by backing
Lowden, keep the nomination from
going to Wood on an early ballot
and then later put them both out
of the running. 1t was a tremen-
dous situation and the heat--charged
air of the Coliseum was fairly vi
brant with the sense of it. 1t prom
ised to be a battle royal for the
greatest prize that the American
Democracy offers to her sons and the
event fully justified the expectations.
Tense at Close.

of the building after four ballots had
demonstrated the tenseness and
closeness of the struggle, with Wood

A.F.L. DECLARES
WARON COPS
ICNORINCLABOR
Chicago Planks Kissed at
Montreal Labor
Convention

MONTREAL, June 12.-Amid tre-
mendOus applause the American Fed
Grafton of Labor convention today
adopted report condemning the Re-
publican national convention at Chi
cago for turning its back on labor
in the adoption of its platform.
During the reading of the report,
which was presented by President
Gompers and Vice-President Woll,
various sections of the Republican
planks were Kissed. The report was
ordered printed and distributed to
organized labor.
President Gompers announced the
executive counsel had directed that
labor's demands as presented to the
Republicans be presented in identical
form to the Democratic national con-
vention.
"The Republican convention has
turned its back upon labor" and has
adopted a platform defiant of la
Dor and not calculated to secure for
them fresh advantages and greater
privileges" Gompers and Vol de
clared in a statement presented at
the convention.
No Doubt of Meaning.
"While there is in the platform a
certain shrewdness in selection of
language, there is never an oppor-
tunity for doubt as to true meaning
of their provisions relating to labor"
they added.
The statement, which was present
ed to the convention by President
Gompers, goes into great detail,
pointing out labor's grievances
against the Republican platform,
n md vigorously assails the Republi-
eans for neglecting anti-profteering
legislation recommendations.
"The Republican platform practi-
cally ignores the profiteers" the
statement added, "and while recog-
nizing the evils of currency imitation,
offers no remedy for that condition.
Specific proposals submitted by la
Dor for relief from the high cost of
living and profteering are given no
place in the platform.
The Mexican plank of the plat
form, the labor leaders charged,
CLEARLY aims to undermine the SOW
eighty of the Mexican people and to
make the maintenance of order in
Mexico the business OF the govern
ment of the United States"
For Exploiting Mexico.
''It proposes the fulillment Of
what have long been the hopes and
aims of those whose sole object IS
the exploitation of the people and
boundless resources of Mexico" ac-
cording to the labor chiefs.
The Republican endorsement of
the transportation act of 1920 was
declared to be complete denial
and reputation of the demands sub
mitted by labor and is an emphatic
endorsement of the labor provisions
of the Cummins-Esch railroad act"
The section of this plank referring
to peaceful arbitration of wage dis.
putes" was said to be "denial of
the lawful right of the workers to
cease working"

Stocks continued to display better
tone yesterday in quiet session in
which professional traders were the
dominating element. With the Street
in a more hopeful frame of mind as
result of tho prospects Of relief
from the transportation blocade ind
feeling that, in the long run the
process Of dehation will prove bene-
fetal in that 1t will get industry and
commerce back upon q more stable
basis, the short interest showed signs
of increasing nervousness. Most of
the buying that came into the market
was for the account of the profession
al bears who did not care to run the
risk of having to face a better market

favorable news develop over Sunday.
The movement of the oil shares WAS
about the most interesting feature Of
the session at the exchange. The Mex
lean oils displayed q strong tone fol-
lowing receipt of news of the death
of Carranza, fugitive President Of the
Mexican Republic. On the other hand,
the lower priced oil shares continued
under pressure, notably Sinclair and
Middle States, which were weak on
Friday. The offerings Of Sinclair Oh
were especially heavy, breaking the
price below 80, for the first time. In
the railroad group, Missouri, Kansas
& Texas and Texas g. Pacific were
strong spots. Steel common moved
within a comparatively narrow range.
Advices from Toxic, to the effect
that, despite the financial and economic
upheaval, there withdrawal of gold
from the United States is not likely

ter feeling in financial circles. Prcdie-
tions that large shipments of gold
from London to New York are to be
made, have not yet come true, al
though it is insisted, in certain finan-
cial quarters, that a consignment of
the metal is already on it's way here.
The weekly statement of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of New York showed
substantial improvement. The bank
gained heavily in gold through the
settlement. fund, indicating a large
flow to this center from interior points.
The local institution again last week
discounted the paper Of other reserve
banks on an active scale. At the end
of the week the ratio of reserves to
