National Farmers council, World

groups, who allied with the Commit

Rebelling at the refusal of the lead

to form an immediate amalgamation
with the labor party, these groups
went over to the labor convention
early Tuesday morning. Then the

Henry Ford headquarters were

tarily to make the decision to open
the headquarters.
Mr.. Hoffman, who is the original
Ford man at the third party con-

feeling had been so marked over
Sunday in the various meetings

which he attended, and shifting to-
ward the Detroit manufacturer so
rapidly that there was every reason
to believe that Mr.. Ford's nomina-
ton is assured. He again stressed
the fact that while Mr.. Ford in no
sense was an active candidate for
the nomination, that he had the as
surance that with satisfactory plat
form provided, the Detroit would be
willing to accept the nomination.
Among those who Immediately an
nounced their intention OF working
in the interests of Mr.. Ford was
Robert L. Stancill, prominently con-
nected with the progressive cam
paign of 1912 and legislative assist
ant to William C. Redfield during the
latter part of his administration of
the department Of commerce.
One delegate from each state was
named as member of the Ford COM

a noisy demonstration. Hopkins was
elected joint chairman of the con-
vention to serve with John H.
w lker, former president of the ILL
nois Federation of Labor and
labor's gubernatorial candidate in
this state, who has been permanent
chairman of the labor convention.
Delegates to the Committee of
Forty-eight convention assembled in
their convention hall in the Cameo
room of the Morrison hotel and
marched in body thru the loop dis
trict with banners flying and wav-
ing their state delegation standards
and then boarded sightseeing buses
which conveyed the pilgrimage to
Garments Ball in West Side. A riot
ious demonstration was started by
the labor delegates when the new
corners marched into the convention
hall at 235 p. m. while the band
played, Hail, Hail, the Gangs All
Here" and "There'll Be Hot Time
in the Old Time Tonight
Farley Christensen, VINO was per-
manent chairman of the Committee
of Forty-eight convention, who was
introduced to the convention by
Chairman Walker, made few re-
marks, in which he declared:
I'VE have defeated reaction and
banished conservatism"
This statement was greeted with
cheers from both groups of delegates.

organization and procedure recon-

the labor party. This was followed
Immediately by separate meetings Of
the two committees at which their
points of difference were takn up.
While the labor party conferences
committee Was still meeting alone
the Committee of Forty-eight confer
ence committee called together COM
mittees representing the other groups
and it was voted to go before the
convention and perfect an amalgama-
ton. Then the conference commit
tees of the Forty-eighters and the
labor party opened another joint
conference.
All speakers before the conven-
ton, including the Representatives of
the labor party, urged amalgama-
ton.
AS the first step it was suggested
that bigger hall be engaged at once
where all groups could assemble in
one big convention. This suggestion
was greeted with cheers. Earlier in
the day the Committee of Forty-eight
convention had passed a motion di-
recting the chairman to arrange for
a hall where all groups could meet,
but action was deferred until a
union was more nearly perfected.
The national convention Of the
Committee of Forty-eight early in
the day approved the report of its
conference committee that ANAL
gamation be perfected and that a
smaller subcommittee be appointed
to conduct the negotiations and that
a public committee be named to con-
ferr with other groups on the plat
form.
The joint recommendations of the
conference committees agreed on
Sunday night, however, were not
presented to the labor party's con-
vention. Toscan Bennett, chairman
of the labor party's conference COM
mittee, reported progress to the con-
vention and it was announced that
the recommendation of the COM
mittee would not be submitted to the
whole convention until more defin-
lite program had been agreed on.
Mcdonald in his speech before the
convention of the Forty-eighters
said:
about the only difference l see
between our two conventions are the
badges l haven't been able to learn
why two sets of badges had to be
printed. We stand on the same COM
mon ground and / don't see why we
won't have a larger hall and all get
together"
His appeal started another demon
stration in the convention hall.
Edward T. O'Loughlin of the
American Constitutional party, was
the first to suggest to the Committee
of Forty-eight conference committee
that the time had arrived to all get
together and settle the points of diff
ference at meetings where all politi-
cal groups were represented. His
suggestion was accepted by the con-
ference committee of the Forty
Fighters and the partial amalgama-
ton was soon reality.
Lester Barlow, national chairman
of the World War Veterans, an or
ganization with a membership Of
about $4,000 ex-soldiers, after his
conference with the Forty-eighters.
said:
1--WE are ready to support any con-
solidation which means an actual one
party and one whose party name does
not recognize any particular group,
but which stands for the big battle
which must be fought, for the
cardinal principles of free speech,
Americanism and all those things for

which the world war was fought.
Names like the American, Union or
United party would be acceptable to

Barlow said his organization had
no favorite candidate and would
support Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette
if he is nominated to lead the new
party movement. He said he be-
Iieved 95 per cent of the members of
his organization favor LaFollette.

8 O'Clock many delegates were talk
ing strongly of taking amalgamation
negotiations out of the hands of the
present conference committee and .ap-
pointing a new committee to carry
on the work.
The labor convention also may
| take action for the speedy formation
of the new party. NY.
After a series of all-day confer
ences between the leaders of the diff
ferent groups a union of the follow
ing organizations was announced:
Committee of Forty-eight.
American Constitutional party.
American party of Texas.
Single-tax party.
Non-partisan League Of South
Dakota.
World War Veterans.
Private Soldiers and Sailors
league.
Rank and File Veterans associa-
ton.
At the time this announcement
was made to the Committee Of Forty
eight National convention, the con-
ference committee of the labor party
and the forty-eighters began another
joint session in an effort to unite on
a common ground.
Announcement of the partial ANAL
gamation was made when representa-
tives of the different groups marched
to the platform of the convention
hall in the Morrison hotel and in the
midst of a noisy demonstration pre-
pared to address the gathering.
While the amalgamatoin of the
labor party with the other groups
had not yet been perfected, Duncan
Mcdonald, former president of the
Illinois Federation of Labor, and
William H. Rodrigues, former Social
list alderman in the Chicago city
council, and leader in the labor party
entered the convention hall and were
called to the platform. They ad-
dressed the convention, urging all
groups to unite.
Their appearance was the signal
for another wild demonstration
which started when the delegates
began to sing, Hail, Hail, the Gangs
All Here"
While the appearance of the two
labor party leaders before the con-
vention was regarded as significant
that complete amalgamalation was
near, John Fitzpatrick, president of
the Chicago Federation of Labor, and
temporary chairman of the labor
party's national convention, came out
of the conference committees room
long enough to say that a merger had
not yet been complete.
Announcement that all groups ex-
cept the labor party had Joined hands
with the Committee of Forty-eight
came after a series of conferences
which began at 8 O'Clock Monday
morning. The conference committee
of the Committee of Forty eight met
representative of each group one at a
time and ironed out their differences.
After meeting these other groups
the Committee of Forty-eight con-
ference committee held another ses-
sion at the conference committee Of

CHECK FOR | CENT
WOMAN FIGURES 1T COST U. S.
500 TO MAKE GOOD HER LOSS
IN PAYING TAX.

DALLAS, Texas.-Honest Uncle
Sam. Sometimes slow, always exact
ing and occasionally overbearing
when it comes to collecting what is
due him, but he always pays his
debts. Not as promptly, perhaps, as
the ordinary citizen pays him or the
butcher, but he pays in the end
and usually with interest.
That he pays his "just and hon
est debts" as well as some claims
which might not be considered legiti-
mate, was evidenced this week when
Mrs. L. B. Dooley of this city re-
ceived a check for a penny.
1t took Uncle Sam two years to ap-
prove the claim and pay the bill, but
the check finally arrived and now
Mrs. Dooley doesn't know whether to
donate it to charity or make an in
vestment in oil wells.
May TRADE 1t for Cent Stamp.
She has the check for l cent, yet

to the bank for payment she says she
will probably take it to the postoffice
and trade it for stamp.
