CHARGES COP. PLATFORM
FRAMED IN WALL STREET

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-The platform

Fcdefation of Labor, declared today.
"If's all bosh and was undoubtedly

patrick said. IT'S the same old stuff
-rehashed. The Democratic, plat
form will be Of the same nature and
drawn up by the same men with a
little political variation here and
there. The very fact that the plat
form opposes the Governments con-
troll Of railroads shows that it was
written by Wall Street business men.
This platform is contrary to one
the laboring class wants-and the

President The next President Will

Has the Shipping Board the power
to sell the United States navy?
This is a startling question to
Americans. But IL is a fact that coun-
sci OF the Shipping Board has contend
ed before Justice Bailey, of the District
Supreme Court that the authority
under which the board claims the
right to sell the thirty seized German
ships, includes all ships belonging to
the United States. II this contention
is correct 1t would include battle
ships, according 10 former Gov. Jo-
seph w. Folk. counsel for William
Randolph Hearst, who obtained an in
junction hating the sale OF the Gel
man ships.
And If the board may sell one bat
tleship it may sell dozen. or 1t may
sell the entire navy as an entirety
or separately.
Would Surprise Congress.
Congress, no doubt, will be sur
prised to learn that it had conferred
such authority upon an administrative
body.
OF course, Mr.. Folk said, the gem
tlemen composing the present Ship
ping Board are too good Americans
to exercise power to sell the navy to
any foreign government. But, he
added. il the power exists, as claimed.
might not Americans wake up some
fine morning to learn that some Ship
ping Board has exercised this power
unwisely?
It was brought out yesterday In
the hearing as to the amount Of bond
in the Injunction suit before Justice
Bailey that this sweeping power to
sell all ships is claimed for the Ship
ping Board.
whnt Bond to Halt Navy snlef
Mr.. Folk, arguing the question 81
the amount Of bond to be required
said to the court:
"As / understand II, counsel for the
Shipping Board claims that the au-
thority conferred upon the Shipping
Board under the emergency fleet act
is power to sell every ship of every
description belonging to the. United
states. This would include, OF
course, battleships, and IL the board
had such power it would have au-
thority to sell the United States navy
or any part of 1t.
Suppose the board should announce
that IL intended to sell the navy to
the highest bidder and a taxpayer
should came in and ask that the board
authority to do this thing. and sup
pose the court should hold, as the
court has held in this case, that the
board was without authority and that
Congress had never given any such
authority and should grant an in
iunction-what would be the amount
OF the injunction bond required in
such a case?
Gould it be seriously claimed that
the plaintifrf in that proceeding
would have to give bond equal 10
the cost of maintaining the entire
United states navy for a certain pc
riod-a bond OF 800, 900? The
statement OF tho proposition carries
its own answer. To require a bond
upon such basis would amount Ia
a denial OF relief and nulllfy the rem
edy of Injunction"
1t appears that the authority OF
the board with respect to bettleshipe
is claimed in the brief filed in the
The Washington times., 1920-02-21

costs and damages as may be Incur
ed or suffered by the defendants. or
either OF them, who may be found to
have been wrongfully enJoined or re-
strained thereby.
FORMER Governor Joseph W. Folk
Of Missouri. william A. DaFord, and
Ansell and Bailey appeared for Mr..
Hearst. The Shipping Board was
represented by Assistant Attorney
General Charles b. Ames and District
Attorney John Il. Laskey.
Counsel for Mr.. Hearst yesterday
argued that the latter had brought
the suit for the injunction as a tax
payer and In the interests OF the pub,
lie Ito restrain the Shipping Board
from exceeding Its authority in sell
ing the ships" and that because OF
this. the court should nx the bond at
a nominal amount.
