Chicago, July 13-Leaders of the
new party, born today, were striving
desperately tonight to soiidify the
strength of the minor groups from
which it came into unified political
power
Early moments of the new partys
life were fraugi1t with menacing situ-
atoms. The Joint chairmen of the
Labor party and the Committee Of
Forty Eight hattled for hours to
keep the Jealousies and distrusts OF
the rival groups submerged and the
road open for the transaction of
business.
Several times n the long drawn
out afternoon session, a break ap-
peared not far away. Peace makers
were called TO the platform several
times and by their appeals TO the
common aims Of the delegates
starved off. at least temporarily, the
movement toward a break.
While the convention argued over
the recognition extended its various
elements under the amalgamation.
the platform committee completed a
draft of nine pianks. According TO
members of the platform commit
tee. the pet platform desire of sew

the convention recessed until 8
