BOILERS QUIT IN CHAOS
Forty Fighters Fail To Put Ma
tional Ticket In Field.
Adjournment Taken After Day Of
Wrangling-Lights Put Out To
Clear Hall of Delegates.

Chicago-Members of the Commit
tee of As who bolted the fusion move
ment of the Farmer-Labor party, after
a day of futile ~wrangling, adjourned
with no arrangements made to put a
separate presidential ticket in the
field.
Adjournment was taken over the
portests of a minority group and was
only accomplished when the commit
tee leaders turned out the lights and
ordered the owners to clear the hall.
Prior to adjournment the leaders
presented a report providing for the
continuation of the organization in
each state. The report was adopted.
1t makes no provision for a national
ticket, but does provide that another
national convention may be called at
some future date. Farley Christensen
of Salt Lake City, presidential nomi-
nee of the Farmer-Labor party, threw
the dying Forty-eight convention into
an uproar by sending to it a message
characterizing its actions as foolish"
Three of the minority groups origi-
nally subscribing to the fusion move
ment were represented in the meeting.
Besides a part of the Forty-eighters,
leaders of the World War Veterans
and Peoples party Joined the bolt.
The fusion movement, Forty-eight
speakers declared, was wrecked by
what Gilbert E. Roe, La Follette's per-
sonal representative, characterized as
the intolerance" of the Labor party
leaders. You can never make a class
party in this country and have it
amount to anything" Roe declared.

sulting with the French premier, M.

again told him frankly that the Allies
could go nc farther than they had al
ready gone in reducing the terms of

DR.. Simons repeated his contention
that II was impossible for Germany to
deliver the amount demanded.
