PROPOSED DISPOSAL
OF "FLUE" MATERIALS

munication last night from Henry +.
Scott, chairman Of the executive commit
tee of the Red Gross:
"It would not be possible for the Red
Cross to designate any particular part OF
the materials which it contributed TO the
influenza epidemic. Certainly all ma
terials that are deteriorating or likely TO
deteriorate should be turned over to the
hospitals and used. We have thought it
would be wise to keep intact such ar
ticles as cots, mattresses, blankets,
sheetings, etc, for emergency purposes,
and the Red Cross is prepared 20 take
care of them and store them if in the judg-
ment of your good selves such course Is
advisable The building which was erect
ed in addition to the West End Reading
Room for war purposes is at our disposal
for this purpose.

BIG SCENE NOT YET READY;
REAL CONTEST TO COME FRIDAY

Chicago, June S.-The brief, and out
wardly harmonious session of the con-
vention, today, convinced almost every
body that the big scene is not yet ready.
A good deal of preliminary stage man
aging and rehearsing is going on in
back" and it is obvious that the ma
jority of delegates do not know their
lines.
In such a tame opening as sexpect-
ed only when the nomination is cut and
dried. there was today not a single
demonstration for any candidate-not an
evidence of compelling sentiment for any
one of them Obviously everybody was
waiting to see what the other fellow
could show, waiting for band wagon.
There is an element which wants nei-
lther Lowden, johnson nor Wood, and
their hope i sthat three ballots will show
that none of the big three can get COM
manding majority.
The plan now is to have all nominat-
ing speeches delivered at the Thursday
session even if the convention has to sit
through the night and take the first
ballot. Then the real contest would
come on Friday.

WOOD FORCES ARE ELATED

Chicago. June s.-The Wood forces
are elated tonight. although the general
trend Of the talk among old political
leaders is toward Lowden. The Wood
forces won victory in the principal

Instructed Wood delegates won the
two most important committee chair
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Watson of Indiana
for resolutions and Edward D. Duffield of
New Jersey for credentials.
Frank H Hitchcock was designated by
the Wood delegates as their supreme
strategist.
Think Of the psychological effect of
this victory he said when asked where
and how he expected Wood to benefit
from these steps in organization.
We controlled the committee against
powerful opposition. almost solid anti
Wood forces" Mr.. Hitchcock added. 80
far a sincreasing our total number of
delegates is concerned the selection of
Mr. sDuffield over Charles H Innes of
Massachusetts, is of small moment. We
will make no effort to overturn the work
Of the national complittee on contests. To
do so would prejudice the Wood cause
and 1 have given our forces not to do So
No rough stun will come from us, but
we are glad 10 be able to show that the
majority of the committee on creden-
tislss and also Of resolutions is not
against Wood"
While these developments were taking
place the drift Of the talk. and 1t may
be nothing more, was trending toward
Lowden.

RATIFICATION OF PEACE

Montreal, June S.-Ratification of the
peace treaty without any reservations
that would injure the effectiveness of the
covenant of the League of Nations was
demanded of the United States senate in
resolutions presented today by delegates
for adoption by the American Federation
of Labor at its annual convention here.
Among 200 more resolutions also re-
ferred to the resolutions committee at
today's brief session was one urging de
velopment of friendly, harmonious and
cooperative relations with the great
bona fide body of organized farmers"
The iurisdictional fight between the ma
tional committee for organizing iron and
steel workers and the Amalgamated As
sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
promised today to become one of the big
issues before the convention. Amalsa-
mated officials announced that they
would not accept any comromise and
had withdrawn from the national COM
mittee.
The national committee will met again
tomorrow night TO take f;lrtie- action
toward having the federation condemn
the amalgamated and compel it to re-
join the steel organizing movement or
face suspension.

Chicago, Ill. June 8.-Thoughts of
Connecticut delegates are already be-

ond choice. This doesn't mean any plan
to pull away from Lowden while he has
chance, but "a preparedness step in
case a second choice is considered ad-

known that it is meeting with no little
favor in the delegation, but no decision
as yet has been reached Such move

Wood. As Governor Beeckman of Rhode
Island goes so will the delegation of that
state go.

LOwDEN BACKERS FAVOR n >
EARLY TEST OF STRENGTH

Chicago, June 8.-With les sthan half
of the delegates sewed up with instruc-
tions which many say do not in all cases
represent the desires of the men bound
by them, the sponsors for the Lowden
talk advocate a rapid succession of bal
lots to produce as quickly as can be
done honorably cracking of instructed
support Those who are now talking
Lowden say they believe the disintegra-
tion will begin with Johnson and Wood
forces. 1t is not clear why they profess
not to fear that Lowden win be affect
ed in the same way.
One reason behind the willingness of
these Lowden advocates to take all the
risks that necessarily accompany efforts
to upset instructions is said to be that
the supporters of Lowden would be sat
isf1ed with any conservative who can be
nominated and have harmonious party
behind him, whether it be Harding,
Sproul, Knox, Coolidge, Hughes or some
one who has not yet figured conspicu-
ously.

one has any particular advantage so far.

UNOFFICIAL RETURNS FROM
ELECTIONS IN GERMANY

Berlin, June s.-Unoficial returns
from 81 districts for $50 mandates art
about equally divided between the pres.
ent coalition government and the Right
and Left opposition. It is generally be-
lieved that the allotment of the overflow
votes to the empire list will give the
coalition enough mandates TO secure If
a small majority.
On the basis of figures supplied by
the semi-offieial Hoffman Agency of Mu-
mich for the whole of Bavaria, the Ba-
varian peoples party has secured twelve
reichstag seats. The social democrats
won five, the Independent Socialists four
the peasants party two, the democrats
two and the so-called '8Iittel Party"
two.
The communists polled only about 4s..
600 votes and hence have secured NJ
, seats.
