San Francisco. July 3.-The Demo-
cratic platform is no more acceptable
to labor than the Republican platform
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation Of Labor. decIar-
ed in an address at the labor temple
here last night.
Mr.. .Gompers stated that he had no
intention of debating to the voters of
the labor federation. The records Of the
senatorial and congressional aspirants
would simply be made available for
study, he said
Mr.. Gompers attacked the right of
the courts to enjoin workers from
striking and said that the federation
would fight this privilege forever. He
said that the use of injunction in
strikes was "autocratic."
There are laws for nearly all m
lawful acts" he declared. Men can
be brought to trial and punished for
breaking these laws and there is no
need for resort to the injunction"

uonal obligations.
am very glad to go on record as be-
ing entirely in sympathy with the as
pirations of the Filipino nation for in
dependence.
l have recommended to Congress
that in granting independence some
provision be made similar to what is
known as the Platt amendment in the
treaty with Cuba, which restricts the
ability of the new republic in borrow
ing of foreign governments and also
permits the United States to interfere
with the affairs of the new republic in
case conditions of disorder should be
found to prevail. Such Recommended
ton does not come as an expression OF
the views of the Filipinos; it is my
own view Of what would be desirable
TO secure a feeling of confidence and
satisfaction on the part of all persons
who have already invested money in
the Philippines or who contemplate do
Ing SO in the near future.

itself should longer be delayed.

A MIsREPREsENTED RACE.

The Filipino people are much mis-.
represented race. The frequent pub
lication of pictures of semi-naked Min
danao Moros and Igorotes has caused
a great many Americans to believe
they are typical of the inhabitants OF
the Philippines. Such is far from the
case, however OF 100000 inhab.
itants Of the islands, 10,500OO0 are a
Christian, civilized people with a cul-
ture and refinement that will compare
very favorably with that Of other ma
lions. The Filipino women are excep-
tionally modest. A street Irritation in
Manila, so far as a Filipino woman is
concerned, is something that is almost
unknown, as any American that has
SISTED Manila will testify.

BRYAN PLANKS VOTED DOWN
Result of Prohibition Fight Is That
Platform Is Left Without Any Ref
erence to Subject - Soldier
Bonus investigation Rejected

San Francisco. July 3.-The Demo
cratic platform as framed in the res
olutions committee, declaring for the
peace treaty, expressing sympathy for
Ireland and saying nothing at all about
prohibition, came unscathed through
a furious floor fight yesterday and was
adopted without amendment in a great
avalanche of applause.
w. ]. Bryan led the fight for amend
ment but his bone dry plank was
buried after a dramatic day of debate
by majority so overwhelming that
he did not even ask for roll call on
the four other minority proposals he
had prepared.
A cider, wine and beer plank cham
pioned in an emotional speech by
Bourke Cochran of New York also
was thrown out by the convention
along with plank for recognition of
the Irish republic backed by several
organizations Of Irish sympathizers.
In the battle for the platform as
framed the administration forces were
led by Secretary Colby and Senator
Glass of Virginia during a debate in
which both sides stirred delegates and
spectators to repeated bursts of emo
tional enthusiasm. Mr.. Bryan got a
bowling demonstration of 20 minutes
after he concluded his speech for the
bone dry plank, but when the ballot
ing began it became apparent that
much of the enthusiasm was per-
sonal tribute to his past service to the
party, and not an expression of syn
pathy with his present views.
The official result was 1851 ayes.
92911 noes that finished Bryan's bone
dry plank and the convention turned
to the next amendment to the platform
which was the plank offered by Rep
resentative Hobson of Alabama.
The official total which beat the
Cochran moist plank was 72615 against
it and 1866 voting for it, Eleven and a
half votes were absent.
Without a roll call the convention
also voted down Mr.. Bryan's plank
for the publication Of an official news
paper by the federal government.
The Bryan profiteering plank also
was rejected by acclimation in quick
The convention then voted
down also the plank offered by Mr..
Bryan declaring against compulsory
training in peace time.
The Bryan league Of nations plank
shared the same fate going out in
great chorus of noes.
A plank for commission to in
vestigate the feasibility of a soldier
bonus also was rejected without
roll call The substitute on the Irish
plank was G7515 votes against it with
4O215 votes for it. The substitute
Irish plank declaring it is the purpose
Of the nation to recognize the indie
pendence Of the Irish republic also was
voted down by the convention.
With the platform adopted. the con-
vention was up with its schedule and
he voting on presidential candidates
began.

INDIANA, PURDUE AND
STATE NORMAL FACE
A FINANCIAL CRISIS

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Sept. %
Indiana's three state institutions for
higher education are facing serious
financial crisis.
The presidents Of Indiana and Pui-
due universities and the Indiana state
normal school, at a conference with
the state board of commissioners Wed
nesday, declared that the higher edu-
cational system of the state is on tho
verge of complete collapse unless
more funds are secured. The confer
ence was called to urge the tax board
to increase the state levy for the In.
situations.
Members of the faculties of Indiana
and Purdue universities are resigning
to accept positions in other schools
offering more attractive salaries, OF
ficials of the institutions declared
The Indiana state normal school Is
unable to fill long standing vacancies
in the faculty because of inadequate
salaries.
Presidents Appeal to Board.
DR.. w. L. Bryan, president of 1ndi-
ana university; Dr. w. c. Stone, pres
ident of Purdue university, and DR..
w. w. Parsons, president of Indiana
state normal school, represented the
Institutions before the board. The
three officials were unanimous in the
opinion that the work of the schools
is suffering seriously from the finan-
cial stringency and that immediate
relief is necessary.
The present tax levy for the institr-
lions Is 2.8 cents on each 100 of tax
ables in the state. The levy fixed by
the legislature in 1913 was cents.
Under the 1919 tax law, which increas.
ed valuations In the state millions Of
dollars, the tax board scaled the levy
down. Funds secured from the levy
are distributed on the basis of two.
fifths each to Indiana and Purdue UNI
versities and one-fifth to the Indiana
state normal school.
Members of the tax board question
ed the representatives Of the institu.
lions as to the amount Of the increases
in the levy necessary to provide re-
lief. 1t was stated that levy of 3.8
cents, an increase of one cent, would
provide temporary relief, but was not
sufficient for a permanent basis.
The tax board has been Of the opin-
ion that there is doubt as to their au-
thority to increase the levy. U. S.
Lesh, assistant attorney general, who
Represented the Stdto l6Sdl department
in the conference, gave an informal
opinion, holding that the board has
the power to increase the levy He
said that an official opinion on the sub
ject will be issued soon.
J. w. Fesler, member Of the board
Of trustees Of Indiana university, ex-
pressed the opinion that the question
Of providing more funds for the three
institutions is the most important
which has ever been considered by
the tax board.
Oscar H. Williams, state supervisor
Of teacher training, presented tables
showing the low rank Indiana held In
support Of higher education, when
compared to other states.
Mr.. Williams showed that of seven
typical states. Indiana ranks seventh
in the amount of money spent for
higher education; sixth in the per cap
ita amount spent; seventh in the
amount spent for higher education, ex
GLIDING normal schools, and seventh in
the amount spent FOR normal schools.
