Constructive Work
to Mark Platform,
Visitors Declare

Birmingham democrats re-
turning from Montgomery last
night, where they had gone to
look upon the preiiminaries of
today's convention, where con
WINGED that the platform to be
adopted for the guidance of the
next Legislature will be a con-
structive document.
Those who conferred with
Judge Brandon, the next COVER
nor, reported that they had new
er seen anyone more enthusiast
tic or more in sympathy with
the plans for carrying forward
the states educational program.
Both Judge Brandon and Charles
Mcdowell, the next lieutenant
governor, are reported in hearty
accord in their hope of carry
ing out the platform upon which
they made their race and at the
same time meeting the wishes
of the democracy of the state
as 1t Is to be expressed in to-
days convention.
Those on last nights train
said they not only found Judge
Brandon alive to the states edu-
cational needs but also deter
mined to take proper care of the
states elecmosynary institu-
lions and to see that every
thing is done that can be done
consistently with the states re-
sources.
They also brought much OF tho
gossip regarding the preliminary
platform plans.
There seems no doubt that tho
convention will give its indorse-
ment to the Mobile port amend
ment. rs
II is expected that the plat
form will call upon and urge
the federal government TO pro-
coed with the completion of
work at Muscle Shoals and 1t IL
likely that this will be done with
out making a reference in the
platform to Henry Ford.
1t is regarded as more than
likely that the convention will
by formal resolution indorse
Senator Oscar w. Underwood for
the next President of the United
States. In fact 1T was UNDER
stood that one of the features
of the address which viii be de-
livered to the convention by
Chairman John Fl. Bankhead will
be a eulogy of the senior Ala
bama senator.

DEMOCRATS DECIDE
TO AVOID LEAGUE
OF NATIONS ISSUE.
Cox viii Be Asked to Soft
Pedal Question at Least in
Some of Doubtful
States
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS
Washington Bureau, The AEe-Herald.
800 Davidson Building.


Washington. September 6.-(Spe-
cial.)--After consulting at length to-
day democratic leaders and senatorial
candidates concluded that the situa-
tlon was SO propitious that it would
be unwise for anyone to inject into
the campaign as an issue, the league
of nations. 1t was agreed, thero-
fore. to inform James NJ. Cox Of
Ohio. erstwhile democratic candidate
for the presidency. as soon as he
lands in New York Saturday. to soft
pedal the league, or If he feels tina.
he must express himself. to remain
off the question In certain important
states where the democrats feel that
they have excellent chances to win
Domestic Issues Better
1t was the consensus OF opinion
that the democrats would fare muc'i
better by offering to the people as
Issues the lack OF achievement of the
Harding administration, the protec-
tive tariff, Newberryism, and indus
trial distress incident to labor
strikes. There was no doubt bu'
that the leaders were of opinion that
it would be unwise and even danger
Gus to inject the league issue into
CONGREGATIONAL campaigns.
The league, they argued, could
hang fire until the presidential CAM
paign two years hence. By that time,
1t was said, strategists could deter
mine the advisability of making
another fight for the league with the
United States as component part.
Governor Cox has been in the coun-
tries OF Europe for some weeks. He
has been entertained by the premiers
Of all nations. He has talked the
league. morning, noon and night. and
declared it essential that the United
States become member. He an
nounced that he would Immediately
renew his fight in favor of America
as member OF the league as soon
as. he again touched native SOIL
Cox VIII Comply
There is no question but that dem
ocratfc politicians trembled because
of the plans of Cox. There is no
question but that the meeting today
was due to a desire that he be fore
stalled. States where Cox will not
be welcomed as a league advocate,
until after elections are. Ohio. Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, Massachusetts, New
York. New Jersey and North Dakota
Democratic candidates in those states
feel that they have excellent chances
on domestic issues and are candidly
afraid lest Cox shall gum up the
cards.
Democrats here anticipate nothing
other than that Cox will abide BY
thsir reqnssts. 1890

LARGE RUM RUNNING
SYNDICATE REVEALED

Chicago, September 6.-Memories OF
the underground" railways OF slave
days were revived today by the reve-
lation of the existence of a whisky
running syndicate between the Ber-
muda islands and Chicago, emplor-
ing West Indian fishermen at 2ne end
and Pullman porters at the other.
After listening to the stories told
by nine .porters arrested recently
Charles Lyme. district attorney,
started 20 federal agents for New
Orleans to arrest seven "higher-ups''
there and detailed men to find three
others in Chicago.
SO extensive Is the organization.
according to the porters, that 1t owns
a fleet of fishing smacks to bring
whisky into New Orleans from Ber-
muda. More than 300 cases week
have been brought into Chicago IN
sleeping cars, the porters said.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1922-09-07

The meeting was called, It was
tntimated, to consider plans for a
settlement of the strike on
separate roads representing
about one-third of the country's
mileage. Ii followed reports OF
conferences between b. NJ. Jewell.
head of the strikers, and rail ex-
ecutives I'm the east.
The telegraphic appeal was In code
and was addressed to the regional
general chairmen of tho organization
In all parts of the country. 1t was
expected that 1t would be several
days before they could arrive in
Chicago and Tor that reason no gem
eral sessions were expected before
next week.
In discussing the meeting Of the
union executive COMMITTEES. Mr.. Scott
said that 1t was hoped that tho ses-
sions would result in settlements
with at least 81 class 1 roads. He
said the expense entai1ed the assem-
bling of strike leaders would not
have made 1t worth while to issue a
call unless there was a possibility OF
a settlement being reached.
Like Mine Settlement
Tho union leaders compared the
situation to the action taken recently
at Cleveland which ended the btu
minous coal strike, John L Lewis,
president of the miners, presenting
certain terms to any operators who
cared to sign. Rail officials, on the
other hand, declared that there could
be no comparison in tho two situa-
lions, as the mines were not in op-
grafton at the time, while the roads
are running.
No western executive would talk
for publication, but many insisted
privately that the strike was brok on,
that all talk of a settlement had
ended with the last meeting Of the
executives In New York and that
they had made and would mako no
overtures toward any further confer
enoes with the strike leaders.
