WASHINGTON, July 80. - In a
statement signed by President Com
pers and Vice Presidents Valentine,
Green and Woll, OF the A. F. Of L.,
this summary Is made Of the demo-
cratic national platform:
1T is but fair to say that the Demo-
cratic platform marks a measure Of
progress not found in the platform Of
the Republican party. In relation to
labor's> proposals, the planks written
into the Democratic platform more
nearly approximate the desired decla-
rations Of human rights than do the
planks found in the Republican plat
FORM"
The four trade unionists were in
structed by thea. F. of L. executive
council to present labor's demands to
the Democratic national convention,
following authorization, unanimously
adopted by the last A. F. of L. con-
vention latter it had received the re-
port Of the delegation of the A. F. of
L. which appeared before the plat
form committee of the Republican
national convention. -
The statement signed by Messrs.
Gompers, Valentine. Green and Vol

as to what the platform means to
convey in it's reference to the obliga-
ton of the workers to the state and
the proposal to find a substitute for
the right Of the workers to cease
work when cessation Of work is said
to endanger the lives or health Of the
people.
with regard to employees in gov
ernment service. it will be noted that
the platform declaration quoted at
the outset Of this analysis in response
to the first Of labor's demands sets
forth the unqualified right to organ
ization, collective bargaining and rep
resentation. The final paragraph of
the declaration last quoted, however,
implies methods in the settlement Of
disputes in government employment
which can not be approved as a gen.
eral statement of government policy"
On the cooperation plank, this
comment is made:
Cooperation Plank.
"The platform paragraph on CO.
operation responds largely to labor's
proposal. In relation to the second
proposal the platform calls for pub
lication Of costs Of production on
farms. but does not call for, pubifca-

Mexico and sets forth a policy of in
ternational morality in keeping with
the highest and best concepts of
Americanism."
Convict Labor Legislation.
The unionists report that the plat
form is silent on labor's demand for
legislation excluding the products of
convict labor from interstate COM
merce, for legislation that would pro-
hibit federal judges from declaring
acts Of congress unconstitutional and
for legislation providing for the cleo
tioh by the people of federal Judges
to terms not exceeding six years.
In the concluding paragraph OF
their statement. the unionists say:
Labor of America is not partisan
to any political party; it is partisan to
principles, the principles Of justice
and freedom. It undertakes neither
to dictate nor control the choice of
the workers or the citizenship gen
orally for which party or candidates
they should vote, but 1t would be

sers OF our country upon the records Of

COAL OWNERS CONCEAL

ter, according to statement issued
by a joint committee appointed by
the governors of the six New Eng
land states.
"The situation has been much mis-
understood throughout the country"
it is stated, "because the National
Coal association, ever since the oper-
ators began making enormous prof

rying on the most persistent propa-
ganda to throw dust in the eyes of
officials at Washington and sand in

"The National Coal association has
been endeavoring to aid it's members
to hide from the United States the
tremendous profits they have been
making from coal. both from do

compares the Democratic platform,
section by section, with the demands
of labor, as was done with the Re-
publican platform. The unionists
make comment on those Democratic
planks that are of major interest to
the workers.
> On the injunction plank, this COM
ment is made:
Vague in Meaning.
while the language of the plat
form constitutes an Endorsement of
the labor provisions Of the Clayton
act, there is no specific condemnation
of the abuse Of the writ of injunction
in labor disputes. However, failure
Of the platform to indorse the injunc-
tions secured through the efforts of
Attorney General Palmer in the min
ers' case may fairly be assumed to
constitute reputation of that action"
On the ollective-bargaining and
right-to-strike plank. the unionists
make this comment:
THE platform provisions here set
forth are specific in condemnation of
compulsory arbitration in disputes; in
privately industry. There is a
vagueness In the balance of the first
two paragraphs. THERE'S uncertainty

BARRELS OF BOOZE TIED
Up ON DOCKS Of HAyRE

PARIS, July 29.-Not a single
Manhattan. cocktail can be had for
love or money in France today, since
the French government has remained
obdurate in its refusal to allow the
thousands of barrels Of American
whisky consigned to one Of the larg-
est American firms in Paris to enter
France.
For almost six months the docks
of Havre have been congested with
mounds. Of barrels, filled with the
liquid that American throats are
thirsting for. But unseizable it re-
mains, this liquid, SO near but so in

cannot, and shipping it on chance to
another port is practically out of the
question, as most European countries
have importation restrictions as
stringent as the French. The cargo
is worth hundreds of thousands OF

owners contend, If the premium on

nor costs caused by middlemen. The
platform is silent as to the third pro-
posal and offers no substitute dealing
constructively with profiteering, but
proposes no enactment and enforce
ment Of such legislation as may be
required to bring profiteers before
the bar Of criminal justice"
This comment is made on the rail-
road plank: ..
"The platform calls attention to the
fact that defects exist in the Cum
mins-Esch law and pledges the Demo-
cratic party to their 'rectification. In
asmuch as the railroads are now un-
der private ownership and operation

ernment employ. it will be observed
in the third plank hereinbefore quot

UNIONS TO REPLY 10 INEF-
F|cIENCy CHARGE OF FOES

LA CROSE, Wis, July 30.-Or-
ganized labor in Wisconsin is going
10 investigate efficiency of labor and
management in unionized institutions
and report thereon. The information
so gathered will be syndicated to the
newspapers.
The program, which was adopted
at this mornings session of the State
Federation Of Labor convention, fol-
lows suggestion by Prof. John r.
Commons Of the University of Wis
consin, who warned that a feeling
that underproduction is due to labor
| unions was the result Of an enor-
| nous propaganda carried on by
manufacturers and employers. Com
mons thought the slowup in produc-
| ton was due to lack of efficient
management as often as to labor
| unions.
An absolute pardon for Eugene v.
Debs was demanded in a resolution
which will be sent to President Will
son; also amnesty for all political
prisoners, as vengeance being
wrought against those who dared to
differ with the ruling power"
Immediate restoration of free
speech, free press and free assembly
were urged, and special appeal was
made for the reservation Of the Mil
waukee Leader
After much discussion the conven-
ton indorsed the Plumb Plan for
railroads.
The convention branded the pro-
posed league of nations as an instru
ment Of International bankers, and
called on congress to seek to bring
about a world parliament, with gen.
eral disarmament as its main object"

~ . ,.. Workers Idle. .,;
Hundreds Of thousands of. workers
are idle or working part time because
merchandise cannot be transported.
New England faces the most serious
situation in many years. The Amer
lean Woolen company has suspended
10000 workers and it is predicted
that in two or three weeks the num-
ber of idle men Will be not less than
100000. while 100000 others will be
working reduced time.
The steel industry is hard hit by
the railroads. The yards are piled
high with finished products that can
not be moved because the railroads
have solemnly warned the Interstate
Commerce commission that unless
there is relief in two weeks they will
be compelled to lose down and
| throw their workers out in the
streets.
Coal Famine Is Feared.
New England suffers a multiple
city Of ills. It cannot secure steam
coal, and it cannot secure raw ma
terials or the transport of it's fin
| ished products. What little coal is
being transported there is piled up
| on the docks, awaiting shipment to
Europe. Covetous coal operators are
indifferent to the sufferings of the
nation and are profiteering at the
expense of European nations that
are bidding as high as $23 for coal.
The production of coal has in
creased over last year, but there is
a lamentable shortage. So long as
export is permitted the situation will
become progressively worse. It il
contended by New England manu-
| facturers that the government should
embargo export coal until domestic
needs, are met. Textile profiteers are
not satisfied that the coal dealer shall
share in the "easy pickings'' that are
, available to all men who lack con-
| sciences.
New England is not an isolated
sufferer. The same conditions exist
north. south, east. and: west Dele
gates from southern states have ad-
| monished the Interstate Commerce
commission that unless the railroads
can be speeded up there will be a
serious Stacking of industry and

| ness.
| the great automobile industries in
the middle west are heavy sufferers.
Some of them have already curtailed
operating forces, because they cannot
secure raw material. The Interstate
| Commerce commission is urged to
issue against automobile makers pri-
| ority orders that will, if granted,
stop that industry until the crisis il
passed.
A Remedy Suggested.
From. the welter Of this industrial
breakdown, precipitated by the In
ability of the railroads to, meet the
national needs, there comes but one
rational suggestion to remedy the sit

ownership and control of transports.
