By United Press.
San Francisco, June 80. The
trainers of the democratic platform
adjourned early this morning after
an all-night wrestle with the deli
cate problems they must settle,
The work is far from complete.
Unexpected difficulties were encoun
tered when the subcommittee OF
nine named to draft the platform
met last night Instead of the mem
bers ratifying the administration
platform which had already been
drawn up for them, the committee
members found it necessary because
Of strong pressure brought to bear
on them from various quarters to
make drastic notifications in The
planks submit 4 by the adminislra-
tion leaders.
Placate "Restless Element"
The notifications were made IN
order to placate the RESTLESS ele-
ment" which demanded considera'
ton, 1t was stated. The committee
adjourned at o'clock this morning
to meet again at $3.50 without finally
agreeing on he form of a single
plank.
The committee worked from two
model platforms, the Virginia dem
ocratlc PLATFORM and the one prepar-
ed and approved by administration
forces. and which Bainbridge Colby,
secretary of state, had before him
Cut Wilson League Plank.
Early in the evening the members
agreed that the Wilson league plank
should not be adopted, Senator
Walsh said that the demand for the |
ratification of the treaty without
substantial reservations would act as
boomerang on the democrats and
pointed out the futility of unqualified |
ratification without strong reser
vation on Article 0, unless the dem /
ocrats won the overwhelming con /
troll of the senate.
Even then. he declared, it would |
be difficult to get the senate to rat /
ify the treaty unless Article were
modified. Walsh left the meeting |
after expressing his views and did /
not return.
It was stated that the differences
which arose were not on fundamen-
tai principles, but on the phraseoi- /
ogy, it was stated.
Silence Irish Question.
Some of the members of the sub
committee counsel silence on the
Irish question while others adyocat- /
ed reference to Ireland in connec- +
lion with the League of Nations as
a hope that the oppressed peoples /
would gain redress through Article \
10 which would give the United .
states friendly right" to call Ire (
lands condition to the attention of I
the league.
No member advocated the adoption ]
of the Irish plank presented to the
resolutions committee by Frank T.
Walsh and Senator Phelan.
Favor Labor Plank.
The pIanks proposed by labor pre-
sent little difficulty, members Of the
subcommittee said.
The members are almost unani-
mously agreed on the strong decla-
rations favoring the demands of or
ganized labor and of women.
The subcommittee is expected to
finish its labors tonight. The report
of the resolutions committee win
probably be heard tomorrow or pos
sibiy Friday.
