CHICAGO, July l0.-The Committee
OF Fortyeight. assisted by fraternal
delegates representing n half-dozen
liberal and radical organizat lions,
launched the third party movement
here today in it's national convention
to draft a platform and pick nomi-
nees who. they hope, will win the
support of ten or more liberal or
ganizat1ons
The first dag session devoted to
Keynote speeches ana organization
work developed as many different
views as there were factions repre-
sented. Rules. resolutions and nomi-
nations for prominent officers were
debated, step by step, and at times
acrimoniously. Allen AIcCurdy, Of

convention to order maintained order
with difficulty.

Participation OF the single takers
in today's convention followed an
earlier session. ut which they decided

They are understood to be willing TO

Each lIas Pet Plank.
All OF the groups. in tho main,
widely separated in their claims,
came to Chicago with some pet plank
for the th!rd-party platform, and the
task of continuing all elements in a
satisfactory fusion proved compli-
Gated.
The railroad ownership question
was a stumbling block. All clements
are agreed that they want public
ownership for the carriers written in
the platform, but differ materially

employees in the direction of control
