i|ON CONVENTION NOT HARMONIOUS
Labor Party in Complete Control, Much to Dis
gust of Forty Fighters Who May Bolt
Amalgamated Meeting

Iaborites and forty Fighters yesterday
adjourned with the announcement it
would be able to report unanimous
agreement after adjusting a few
minor differences" The two conven-s
tons were then fused and convened
as one yesterday afternoon in thet
meeting place of the laborites.
When the delegates reassembled
last night, they were informed the
Joint platform committee was in con-
ference and that nothing could be
done until it reported. 1t was an
nounced at 80 that the committee
could not report "for several hours"
and the convention recessed until to-
day.
Meantime, the conferees battled It
, out: Buck and James Duncan, OF
Seattle, were the chief spokesrne en- for
the laborites. They were reinforced
by half dozen fellow members.
Pinchot, Record and ellison Gardner
were the chief representatives of the
orty-eighters. La Toilette was rep
resented by his son, Robert La Fol-
lette, Jr, and Gilbert f. Roe OF
New York, the senator's former law
partner. Dudley Field Malone also
was present
The fight was confined to the plat
form. Buck submitted fourteen adj
ditional planiss, said to be even more
radical than the original labor plat
form.
The laborites suggested the addf-
tional planks be submitted to La Foi-
lette for approval, a special commits
tee being sent to Madison for that
purpose early today, Roe repbedl
this was unnecessary, as the senator
regarded the original platform as too
radical. To satisfy the laborites, heI
got La Toilette by telephone. The
latter told Roe it was too late TO see
a committee, with the final session
of the convention but a few hours
off, and authorized Roe to act FOR
him. Roe then assured the con-
ferees they could regard La follette
as definitely eliminated from consld7
Grafton as the third party" nominee.i
Pinchot, Record and Gardner coni
tinued to battle for their program
1t is understood they were finally IN
formed the situation had been ma
neuvered to force elimination or
them and La Toilette as possible
leaders of the third party" The
forty-eighters withdrew, leaving the
machinery of the third partx."
Several labor delegates today coun-
selled amalgamation of the third
party" with the socialists.

Following the session Simons de-

have little effect, as Germany would
lose this district even If the deieaa-

demanded by the allies. Sin1ons said
German experts had informed him
miners would refuse to work the
necessary hours for producing the
coal demanded.
The action Of the German deiega-
tion was regarded in French circles
as political maneuver. Simons pro

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE new third
party will function without the guild
ing hands of the leaders OF the com
mittee of forty-eight, it was learned
from the highest authority today.
Further Robert NJ La Toilette has
refused. through his representatives
here, to become the party's presiden-
tial nominee. ....
These developments resulted from
the American labor party finally ma
neuvering itself into complete domi-
nation Of the situation with apparent
radical program.
! The impaSS was reached In an all
night meeting of leaders Of the labor
ties and forty-eighters which broke
I UP at S a. m. AS result, the follow
! ing moves were in prospect when the
| joint labor-forty eight convention re
! convened today.
Robert Buck, Illinois, was sched.
uled to submit for ratification the
extreme" platform which the forty
isolated La Toilette.
BaS1l MdUleNy, OIio, I'oSSlDlS
offer as minority report the plat
form formulated by the committee OF
forty-eight from it's st. Louis plat
form, with changes suggested by La
Toilette.
AS a last resort, a tentative effort
might be made by the leaders Of the
committee Of forty-eight to withdraw
their delegates from the joint con.
vention and form their own third
party"
Success of the latter obviously
would be remote, as majority OF
the original forty-eight convention
went on record favoring surrender to
the laborites in every detail rather
than ALLEVIATE the potentially strong
labor vote. Failure Of a minority
report" was expected for the same
reason.
The turn Of affairs has eliminated
several presidential candidate posi-
blities in addition to La Toilette and
Henry Ford, whose candidates. were
Withdrawn by friends last night.
Amos Pinchot, New York, and George
Record, New Jersey, regarded as
second choice to La Toilette for the
nomination. were the principal back
ers of tho defeated committee OF
forty eight program.
The liberal organizations which
have definitely cast their lot with
the laborites include the non-partisan
league, world war veterans, rank and
file veterans association, American
constitutional party and American
party Of Texas. - ... .
The single tax party voted last
night to conduct its own campaign
without "entangling alliances ~
Ultimate action of the committee
of forty-eight organization was prob

The last National Congregational
Council in appealing to the chur-
ches for a forward movement, u.s.
ed the following, language:
owe place on record our pro-
found conviction that our church,
es are divinely summoned to the
adoption of new ideal of service
and broader range of effort for
establishing the Kingdom of God.
A broken and troubled world calls
for deliverance. Our Nation, laden
with responsibilities of high leader
ship, must look to the Church of
Christ for guidance and moral pow
err. The cropping millions of pag-
an lands are ready for the mes
sage of the risen Christ. In the
face of the opportunity and obi
cation Of the new day we must
rise to a new devotion. or stand
condemned at the bar of our own
conscience and before the throne
of the infinite Righteousness"
We shall do woeful injustice to
ourselves and our age if we see in
these words anything other than a
rigidly accurate description of the
emergency which confronts us. At
three points the failure to go be-
yond past standards of achieve
ment means irreparable disaster to
the cause we love. The first is the
field of evangelism. The second
is the recruiting of leaders. The
third is the supply of money. We
cannot meet the needs of the kind
of world we are living in unless
we can win more disciples. We
cannot make the church potent I'M
less we recruit our leadership in
numbers and in power. We can
not do either of these nor a score
of allied things unless we give
more money.
