remained largely at sea. All shgges-
tions for a wet" plank which would
declare for repeal of the eighteenth
amendment or annulment OF the Vol
stead enforcement law were said to
have been virtually thrown overheard
by tacit consent In the sub-commit-
tee, but the fight for a "beer and
wines plank on one hand and Some
sort OF q rruhibttt0n gdeclArht Ion on
the other was reported stilf III pro-
gress. Secretary or State Colby, ac-
cording to reports from closely sealed
headquarters, was said, to be favoring
a beer and wine provision. The re-
port was accorded Significance be-
cause of Mr. Colby's recent confer
ence with President Wilson. No
basis for settlement OF the liquor dis
pute was reported in sight when the
subcommittee resumed word today.
Wherein They Agree.
Altho Chairman Glass said nose
OF the proposed planks had vet been
adopted definitely by the snb-com-
mites, consideration OF tho uncon-
troyerted sections were reported
practically compiete. Among these
were considerations Of many acts OF the
Wilson administration, the executive
bureaus and the records OF the demo-
crats in congress. together with at
taclS on the republican Legislative
course.
So far as the main body OF the
platform was concerned, the sub
committee found little difficulty in
agreeing. The Virginia platform, en-
dorsed by President Wilson and
brought to San Francisco by sena-
tor Glass, was said to have furnish
ed the basis for declarations readily
agreed to regarding the general prin-
ciples Of the party. Senator Glass
sat as chairman Of the sub commit
tee, and his advocacy OF administra-
ton policies was seconded by Secre-
tary, Colby. A majority of the other
members were regarded as admin-
istratioh supporters, and the chief
objector to the blanket endorsement
Of the league Of nations desired by the
administration. was said to be Sena-
tor Walsh, who voted in the senate to
take the republican reservations.
Wilson Wants Veto Approval.
At the suggestion OF former Gov
ernor McCorlxle. of West Virginia,
members OF the full committee were
invited to file platform suggestions
with the committee. There was
no echo in today's meeting, however,
Of the objections made by Senator
Walsh to the sub plan
Of going ahead without consulting at
length with the other committee
members.
The first suggested plank handed
to the sub committee was one by
Senator Pomerine, of Ohio. regard
ing the league of nations, It pro-
vided for ratification without "im-
pairing reservations, but added that
differences Of opinion on that sub
ject should be so harmonized that
the treaty may be ratified without
unnecessary delay.
In handling the prohibition ques-
ton, administration leaders were re-
ported to be maneuvering to bring
before the convention plank which
could be championed as an admins
tration measure" To this end, 1t
was planned to include a clause in
dorsing President. Wilson's veto Of
the Volstead act.

BOSTON,, May 12.-Exhibiting
the tattered lining of his coat,
Professor William D. Ripley, of
Harvard, told the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers convention
here that the public could not af-
ford to buy clothing at present
high prices.
The workers had just pledged
themselves to cut their working
hours to forty a week at present
prices.
'If you will look at the clothing
of more than one-half of the peo-
pie of the country to-day you will
see that it is we'll worn, old, or
made-over clothing," said Pro-
fessor Ripley.
"You have the problem to work
out. Remember that if in saving
yourself and the manufacturer
you ask large profits to divide up
between you and forget us, we. the
public, will not buy, and there
will be nothing to divide up"

last night. They agreed that the labor

Independent Drivers TO
Begin Work This Week;
Says Unions Must Yield

Colonel r. A. Moltor, of the 22d
Engineers, who saw active service in
France, will lead the campaign of the
commercial interests of the city to
break the freight tc-up on the piers
He was chosen by the special trucking
committee representing all the business
organizations in the city, at its meet
ing yesterday in the rooms of the
Merchants Association.
Colonel Molitor announced that in
con junction with the other mem bers
of the committee he would decide i'm
mediately upon a plan Of action, and
assemble trucks and men to replace
the unionizcd drivers who have re-
fused to haul good for the merchants.
He expected the independent service
to be in operation by the end Of this
week.
More Than Serious
]. c. Lincoln, head OF the traffic bu-
reau Of the Merchants Association,
said there was a possibility that the
War Department would be asked for
trucks to help out. General Robert Lee
Bulard, commander of the Eastern Dis
trict, with headquarters at Governor 8
Island, said yesterday that he had re-
ceived no instructions from the War
department, DuC CHdJ he SCOOQ ready
to furnish whatever equipment was
necessary, as soon as the department
thought the emergency sufficiently ur-
gent.
"The freight situation in this port
said Colonel Molitor, "is more than
serious. 1t is terrible. The damaging
effects of the pier and railroad strikes
are more far-reaching than is common
ly supposed, and arc already making
inroads on our kitchen, as witness the
-four shortage. Something must be
done at once. The freight must be
moved and the unionized truckmen
who have been interfering, will have to
give way in the public interest"
Efforts to bring about a settlement
of the longshoremen strike in other
quarters continued yesterday at a con
ference between representatives Of the
rice and grocery trade and leaders OF

Officials said most of the old plants of

with an ever-increasing output, ana
that the roads, through failure to re-
plenlsh equipment, were hard pressed
when the strike simply damned up the

of one Of three bills in the Senate in
troduced by Senators Poindexter, Edge
and Frellnghuysen, providing against
interruption of common carriers by

Walter Gordon Merritt, who, as at

yesterday showing how the unions are
alleged to be attempting to exclude
open shop merchandise from the chan

Ryan, vice president of the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's Union, says
that the transportation Trades Coun-
Gil including truckmen and chaufcurs,
adopted the following policy:
"Nonc of the members would handle
any non-union goods transported in
any way by firms, corporations or indi-
viduals who refuse to employ union

Congestion Before Strike
Representatives of the trainmen said
there was freight congestion before
the strike. Reports from New England
alone showed more than 10000 freight
cars tied up, they said, with the utmost
