Movement Starts for Dry
Leadership in Whole
Party.
DEMAND WHITE
CALL MEETING
Spokesman Insist on Re-
organization of Com
mittee.
BY ROBERT. J. BENDER.

A movement has begun within the
Democratic national organization to
make it 'bone-dry."
The purpose of this movement,
sponsored largely by that group
which ADVOCATED the nomination Of
McAdoo at San Francisco, is to ef-
feet an absolutely dry leadership Of
the national committee, to support
dry candidates at the Congressional
elections and seek a "bone-dry"
outstanding figure as its next
Presidential nominee.
Demand Meeting Soon.
Within the last three weeks
spokesmen of this group have
bluntly informed Chairman George
White, of the national committee,
that he must call a meeting Of the
committee at once for a reorgan-
ization and formulation of a mil
liant policy.
The reason given is that Demo-
cratic leaders. are not kindly dis
posed to the "pacifist" attitude of the
national organization at time
when. they feel, Democratic cam
p9iSn thunder is lying around in
measurable quantities. They de-
clare that II ii hadn't been for their
agitation. began several weeks ago.
the Democratic organization would
have let the New Mexican senatorial
election next week go by default
They say the invoked activity there
may bring a Democratic victory.
Progress and Drouth.
Back of this agitation is the aim
to make the party fundamentally
progressive.
Disclaimer is made that this pur-
pose necessarily enters into the re-
newed movement against Whites
leadership. Nevertheless. II is no
secret that the lukewarm attitude
shown toward Gov. Cox's campaign
last fall by such monied Democrats
as Bernard Barueh and Thomas
Chadbourne was due TO their belief
that the Cox campaign was being
run by men not essentially dry.
Ed. Moore in background.
George White, while a dry him
self, is advised in many important
matters by E. N. Moore, who never
has been an enthusiastic prohibi-
zionist. The first thing in the mind
of the Democratic drys, therefore.
among whose leaders are Sena-
tors Glass, of Virginia, and Jones,
of New Mexico-is to effect a reor-
ganization of the national COM
mittee.
Whether former President Will

May Meet in October.
There will be a meeting of the
national committee about the mid
die of October. Chairman White,
while confident he can be re-elect-
ed, Is not decided on whether he
cares to continue as chairman. He
does not wish to get out until some
strong candidate to succeed him
has been more or less agreed upon
For that reason he may decide to
postpone further the committee
gathering. If he does, there is
reason to believe the movement
now going on under the surface of
the party will come out into the
open. The group agitating 1t be-
lieve If there is to be a fight it
ought to be now so that there may
be plenty OF. time for wounds to
heal before campaign time. Mean

to the availability Of Scott Ferris.

Effect on business
Unless business men can run
their own business and dictate
who their employees shall be, busi-
ness revival will be much more
said John NJ. Glenn. secretary of
the association.
Within the week, three great
Industries have declared for the
open shop, or taken steps in that
direction.
Today on expiration of the
Alschuler agreement, four of the
biggest packing plants in the coun-
try declared they would no longer
deal with any representative Of
employees other than those who
work for them.
These companies are Armour and
Company, Swift and Company, VIII
son and Company and Cudahy and
Company.
1T is not strictly correct to say
we have declared for the open
shop" said James c. Condor, coun-
sd for all four concerns, because
we have never had the closed shop.
But owing to the agreement, a
purely wartime emergency act we
entered with the chiefs, we have
continued under its provisions as
regards wages and working rules

To-day that agreement expired,
and We have notified the union Of
fcials that in the future we viii!

with the packers, they can come
out and get a job and proceed on
the basis of being an employe."
Today also building trades unions,

strikes because Judge Lands cut
wages. went back to work. The
associated builders gave notice that
If they were not back at work they
