Prominent 4Sers in
Frank Statement

Carmen's Hall, Chicago, July III
n. 'S.)--Warning that the committee oi
forty-eight will pull away from the new
third party II labors radical platform
is adopted by the coalition convention
was issued here this afternoon by three
prominent leaders in the forty eight
moyement-Amos Pinchot George l..
Record and ellison Gardner.
In a signed statement after the meet
ing OF the platform committee they
charged that labor was forming a "class
conscious party" to which Senator La
Toilette could not adhere.
The statement:
'The negotiations between the plat
form subcommittee of your convention
and similar committee OF your con-
vention and similar committee OF the
labor party have reached stage
where we feel that the members of
both conventions and the public gem

statement OF the inside facts.

THE situation, therefore, is this:

we can probably have him as our can

adopted the senator will not run as our
candidate and In our judgment no other

nomination.
"In that event the new party will
