Frank T. Walsh, Kansas City.
Charles TT. Ingersoll. watch manu-
facturer, and Henry Ford, haze been

there is no appa. -ent concerted action

terday was given over to the
opening session Of the labor con-
zations Represented. The forty
Fighters and single takers had re-
cessed for the day and practically
their entire membership attended the
labor convention, many participating
as active delegates. Prominent
among those assuming a dual dele
gate role was James Duncan, one OF
the leaders OF the GENERAL strike In
Seattle last year, who, yesterday, was
chosen vice. e-chairman Of that labor
convention.
Sound Cheers For Soviet Russia.
The radical groups. who, accord
ing to Swindburne Hale one Of their
leaders, were In the minority In the
forty eight convention Saturday,
were i'm the ascendancy yesterday
and vigorously appiauded when their
leader prayed for the day when the
workers Of America would follow the
example set by tho workers Of Rus
sia. Every reference to Russia, and
TO Ireland, too, was appiauded, ana
when John Fitzpatrick, the labor
key-noter, praised the Russian revc-
luton, three cheers for soviet Rus
g.a were called and given.
The applause for Ireland and Sim
Feiners appeared to be more tribute
to the Irish themselves than an ex-
preston Of favor for an Irish free
dom plank. The forty Fighters, In
their mail referendum, have already
gone on record as opposed to plat
form planks on Irish, Russian and
Mexican questions.

The democratic and republican
conventions, their platforms and
their nominees, were assailed by
nearly every speaker.

form committee granted hearing to
the friends OF Irish freedom" today.
The Irish planl; rejected by the DEM
ocratio and republican convention
was offered for insertion In the third
party platform.
Sitting later into the night. the
committee In conference over the
amalgamation proposal, found the
selection of name for their new
political party to be more than
minor problem. Combination upon
the word Tabor were in disfavor
among the committee of forty-eiglt
representatives. but american party"
was presented by several spokes-
men. "The urion party was like
