lin it in concessions which would not I'M
pair the basic principles to which their
respective conventions were committed.
The radical faction An the Labor con-
vention threatened for several hours last
night to break off negotiations with the
Forty-eighters immed lately.
Appeals for unity by FrancIs Dillon,
of Indiana, and Dudley Field Malone, OF
New York, were credited with having
turned the tide against the radical ele-
ment Malone, one of the Forty-eight
leaders and also member Of the Labor
party, placated the more rcstIve ones with
a promise that the rank and file OF the
Forty-eighters would back the Labor br,anh
if amalgamation proved impossible.
TO GO AFTER FARMERS.
Delegates freely urged that the Labor
party forget all about the Forty-eight
leaders and go after the farmers in their
convention" They said that the farmer
strength in the other meeting had no real
affinity with the ''plutes and subtle, slick
lawyers" who, they asserted, comprise
the leadership of the Forty-eight group.
Chairman John III. Walker president
of the Illinois Federation of Labor, voiced
'deep seated distrust" of 'plutocratic
ptilldHliIfbilh-iSt idhftiS
men who endeavor to solve the problems
of the working people without themselves
being members of that class"
Opposition of the conference committee
o. Forty-eighters to the use of the name
"Farmer-Labor" as the party designation
proved the first big stumbling block in
the way Of amalgamation but today they
were in a conciiatory mood on this ques-
ton. The Labor party plan of operation
Of the roads by officials chosen from the
ranks of employees, however, has proved an
insurmountabiee obstacle.
While the Labor convention fought out
the question of whether the hour had
arrived for definite break, the Forty
eighters marked time with a continued
flow of oratory.
Meanwhile, in third hall, the Single
Tax party was framing an appeal to
Lloyd George urging that his government
adopt a single tax policy for Palestine.
The Single Takers plan today to adopt a
platform and possibly nominate a Presi-
Dental candidate, in the event the COM
mittee of Forty-eight nominee proves un-
satisfactory to them. They specifically
agreed that they would not join the new
patty should the nominee be Senator La
Toilette.

CANAL HAS BECOME

Thousands of Tons Are Now Being
Carried Regularly From New

Special Correspondence OF Every Evening

Special Correspondence or Every Evening
Delaware City, July 13.--Vsst quanti-
ties Of sugar continue to pass through the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal from
New York, bound for Baltimore, Md
The traffic has been increasing the past
few months so that now the average
amount Of sugar that passes through the
canal daily is about 900 tons. During the
month of May there Was about 900 tons
locked through the canal. During June
the total reached 4, 300.
This month the figure has already
reached 1000 tons and from present in
dications the average will increase late
in the month, ~ the tonnage increases
The New York and Baltimore Inland
Transportation Co. is the shipper and
consignee of the sugar.
Railroad congestion is Civ en ms the
cause for the sugar passing through the
canal, for in former years there never
was any such traffic. The fact that the
canal is also toll-frec waterway Is
another factor.
There were two days this month when
1900 tons passed through. Calculating
at the present price of the commodity. n
fortune is carried on every one of the
bargcs on which the valuable material IS
being transported. The sugar is carried IN
lOO-pound sacks and very careful watch
is kept on II on its long trip by water.
At Baltimore the sugar il unloaded and
much Of il Is said % be distributed to
various parts Of the country, while some
is also said TO be loaded aboard ships
for Europe.
Boatmen do not believe that much OF
this sugar is shipped TO Europe, as they
claim that there is no reason why ~ should
be carried all the way from New York 10
Baltimore and reshipped abroad, when u

This announcement was made here
yesterday after conference between

on has return from the san Francisco con-
ventlon He remained as the guest of

that IL is not the policy Of the company
70 "go into the building business. .
nANprcAps ARE NUMEROUS.
A third condition that would delay
decision and action on the matter IL the
fact that the railroads are still to some
extent under government control, The
government had guaranteed them re-
turn Of 5l2 per cent until September / /,
and in order to make good that guarantee
has retained control over their expenditure
The Federal Railroad Administration
instructed the roads to submit estimates
of expenditure that would be absolutely
necessary by that time and in granting
appropriations has kept the roads closely
to running expens es, disco'lraging all new
projects.
No appropriation could I've secured now,
il was stated at the Offices today, except
by deducting the same amount from some
OF the items submitted To the Railroad
Administration. Said clerk: 'Why, We
couldn't even get q. typewriter now j,
let alone new Office
When the guarantee ends, and the
government relinquishes control OF ex-
penses, the board Of directors will probably
take up the matter Of moving To Dover.
But since the best season for building Is
drawing near its end in September there
seems little probability of beginning a
new office building this year, even If the
directors approve of the change.
ADVANTAGES AND pIsADvANTAans.
The chief advantage from an admins
trative point of view would be Co give
more room To the other offices here. Dover
is near the center of the division, but
this, an official said, would be Of little
or no Importance Ia division headquarters
While the division docs not actually be
gin until the single track crosses the Chris
tiana river below Wilmington, many oi
the crews end their runs at Wilmington
and would lose no time in case of invpsti-
CATION of accidents.
On the other hand the removnl from
Wilmington would separate headquarters
OF the Delaware division from those of the
Maryland and Southern divisions. which
are located in Wilmington This would
make communication between these units
a little less direct and constant. and would
thus slightly complicate the admnisfra.
tive problem This, however, is not con
sidored q serious disadvantage.
The office force Of the Delaware division
is keenly interested in the proposed
change One Of the veterans, who worked
for the Delaware division while IL was in
Clayton, prior to 1900, said today, Its al
talk now. Nothing is "A matter Of record
and we can get no definite information
about il. But il was the same way
before VIC moved from Clayton tried
my best 20 learn whether we were going r.
move, in order 10 get established in the
new location IN advance but we did not
learn a thing until two or three DAYS before
the change. Then they put Us on train
and shipped us up here.
The subject is the paramount topie
at division headquarters here.
