San Francisco, California, June 30.-A long and bitter platform fight tonight confronted the resolutions committee when it assembled at 7:30 o'clock to take up the tentative platform draft draft of the subcommittee of nine haded by Senator Glass of Virginia, chairman. The full committee was prepared to sit well into the night in the hope of reporting the platform to the convention tomorrow and having final action taken in time for balloting on candidate Friday.
 The platform battle was confined to three subjeets-prohibitio the League of Nations and the Irish question. Wig orous warfare on this trinity, in the com mittee and probably the convention faced the democratic leaders. On the other numerous blanks little difficulty was in prospect
 The subcommittee, while the full com mittee was in recess worked at top speed all day to finish it's tentative draft for the entire committees consideration to- night, Finally, in order to save time and realizing that the issues would have to be fought out by the whole committee, the subcommittee decided to pass along the three principal problems wit honly a tentative agreement on the proposed blanks.
 In the liquor fight tonight, as the fighting forces assembled. were for ex- clusion of any pronounced wet declara tion and incorporation of some pro- nouncement sustaining the 18th amend ment Administration forces were re- ported endeavoring to build situation where an administration plank would rally a majority. Administration lead CTS declared the plank would be regarded as slightly moist" through a clause criticizing xexatious and unnecessary re- strictions of personal liberty in prohi- bition enforcement. coupled with approv- al of President Wilson's veto of the Vol stead law
 William J. Bryan and other drys went into tonight's meeting, however, girded for a battle to wedge in a square-teod prohibition mandate. A strong move ment to kep al mntion of tn liquor question from the platform also was or foot.
 Another pitched battle impended on the League of Nations. The subcommittee except Senator Walsh of Montana, was reported solid for the administration plank, presented by Senator Glass, en- bodying virtually the Virginia platform declaration without destructive reserya- tions. Secretary Colby was picked tc carry the administrators guidon in the committee fight with Mir Bryan an6 Senators Walsh of Massachusetts, and Pomernee of Ohio, the shock troops of the l oppositopposition.
 The Montana senator stood out in the subcommittee for approval of reserva- tions consistent with the honor and good faith of the United States and to advise cooperation with republican sena- tors friendly to the treaty with a view to early ratification.

SHOULD NOT TAKE
 MARGIN AS PROFIT

Washington, June 30.-The Margin" between the cost per ton of coal at the mine and the sales realization price should not be taken as showing the profit per ton on coal accruing to the operator, Nelson B. Gaszill, of the Federal Trade commission, said today in a letter to Vice President J. D. A. Morrow of the National Coal Association.
 The letter was in reply to one from MT. Morrow protesting against an er- roneous interpretation which had been placed upon the published report of the commission, showing production costs of bituminous coal production for the month of March, 1920. The report showed margin between production cost and selling price of 42 cents per ton as against 29 cents per to in February ana from this it had been stated that the in dicated profits of the operat tors had been 13 cents, or 45 per cent. a ton. "The current cost bulletins do not show the operators profits and do not purport to do so,'' Commissioner Gaskill said. They show only the difference between the sell ing price and the cost of producing coal al the mine. Profits can only be shown if from the margin or spread between the selling price and cost at the mine, there is ducted the proper allowance for seli- ing cost, interest, taxes and other items"
