Farmer-L Laborites
Begin Movement
For New Alliance
Federation With Socialists,
Nonpartisans and Sim
gle Takers Proposed as
Basis of 1924 Campaign

A national federation of the Farmer
Labor party, the Socialist party, tbs
Nonpartsan League, the Single Tax
party and other similar political groups
was proposed at the convention of the
Farmer-Lahor party yesterday.
The proposal was embodied in a reso
luton prepared By a special committee
and has for its purpose the launching
Of national ticket in 1924
A similar movement, but not so broad
in scope, was attempted at Chicago last
year, when the Farmer-Labor party, the
Committee Of 48 and some representa- :
tives met in Chicago in an effort to
form what the protagonists in the
movement hoped would lead to the es-
tablishment Of liberal party. The at
tempt failed. the convention resolving &
itself into series of rows.
Just how the conflicting political
opinions Of these groups can be recon
ciled was not explained by the Farmer
Laborites, who announced at the close
OF the days session that the resolution
would not be acted upon until after
the fall election.
While the resolution does not pro-
pose an amalgamation of the four par
ties, yet this is said TO be the ambition
Of it's proponents, who took pains yes
terday to explain that the proposed
federation only aimed to establish Co
operation between the various parties
it sought to bring together $50 that
these groups can act together in the
political field concerning any definite
aims they in common support
When the proposed federation is
formed" said Ernest Bohm, one of the
leaders of the Farmer-Labor party ''it
will line up it's forces for general con-
fict against It's enemies in the next
Presidential campaign"
The convention adopted resolutions
calling for the release of all political
prisoners and recognition of the Irish
republic and condemned motion picture
censorship and all other forms of CEN
sorship.

At a meeting of the Burglary In

Wednesday it was announced that rob-
berries Ct homes have increased 40 per
cent in six months and that losses
have increased 90 to 100 per cent.
Less than one-half of one per cent Of

a decision to raise rates again.
1t was admitted at the meeting that
within a few months, il the present
ratio of increase in burglary continues
burglary insurance rates will become
prohibitive. The activity of burglars
and the inactivity OF the police. it IS
said. combine to make condition
which no insurance company is able
to face without prospect of ruin.
1t was given out last night tnat the
10 per cent increase was due to disas-

large cities during the six months just
ended.
The meeting of the underwriters was
presided over by Samuel Brewster. OF

Ran AfouI of Red Tape
T'hc expectation, however. was
doomed to disappointment, because it
has now lun afoul of the red tape of
the Nylan administration in the form
of interventicn by the Comptroller's
Office. The latter maintains that the
appropriation for these schools should
be taken from the residue of the So
100000 which was appropriated in Jan
uary. 1920, for new buildings as part
of the total s25,oO0,oOo appropriate
by the Hylan adminstiatio up to this
year
On the other hand the Board OF
Education maintains that the three
schools are part of the 1921 building
program, for which Sl5,000,000 has been
appropriate. and therefore the money
should come from that appropriation
This weighty problem has been de-
batcd since August 2, when the award
for the contract was approved by the
Board of Estimate, and the work has
been held up while the wrangle be-
tween the Comptroler's Office and the
Board OF Education Office proceeded

been upheld and final authorization
