Platform proposals
Chairman Cumming of the nation
al committee continuing throughout
the day to receive platform propo-
sails from various sources for pre-
liminary discussion with leaders be-
fore the resolution committee begins
on the platform itself.
Among them was one group of
planks expressing the views of a CO.
teries of leaders whose opinions are
certain to have weight. In sub
stance the Irish plank advocated by
these leaders follows the line of Irish
reservations resolutions put forth by
Democratic senators during the
treaty and pledges the party to in
struct American representatives in
the League of Nations when ap-
pointed to bring up the Irish prob
lens for adjudication by that body.
Labor Declarations
Other planks put forward by this
group included a labor declaration
indorsing unionism and collective
bargaining compiled with proposals
for one compulsory federal arbitra-
ton tribunal to deal with labor dis
cussions.
The committee adopted without dis
Gus sion a resolution to be submitted
TO the convention providing that here
after each state and territory be rep
resented in the national committee by
one man and one woman to be selected
according to state laws or party rules,
where no state law covers the election
OF national committee men, The res
olution also provides that the woman
committee members to serve the next
four years be selected by the state
delegations to the present convention.
When the question of approving the
temporary roll call came up it was
said several states were short their
full delegates and the question arose
how the vacancies shall be filled.
