SOCIALIST PARTY
 UNCERTAIN OF IFS
 LABOR ATTITUDE
Convention Delegates Do Not Decide Whether to Affiliate
 With Other National Organizations
By AssocIa ed Press

Cleveland. April 30.--After days debate. the national convention of the socialist party had not decided tonight what action the party will fake toward affiIiating with labor and farmer organizations for future political activity. The proposition twill be taken up again tomorrow morning when the convention re- convenes.
 Indications were the convention may decide to hold aloof from such affiIiation. contenting itself merely with sending delegates to the next meeting or convention called by the conference for progressive political action. such delegates to have no au- thority to commit the socialist party to any policy. but only to report with recommendations to the next na- tional convention of the socialist party. This is the proposition as it appears on the convention agenda prepared by the executive Committee.
 A proposal made by Morris Hfllquit of New York. that would substitute for the agenda proposition one which tions to- cooperate with the organi- xations Of labor and working farmers in their states in Independent politi- cal action with restrictions. precipi- tated the debate. The opposition to the Hlilquit proposal centered about an expressed fear that such action would destroy the Identity of the so- cialist party.

DEMOCRATS WILL
 OPPOSE HARDING
 SUBSIDY MEASURE
Bankhead Predicts Bill inPres- ent Form Would Be Death
 Blow to Ports on Gulf of Mexico
Ky HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald.
 800 Davidson Building,

Washington, April 30.-tSpecial)- The proposed legislation over which President Harding displays most concern is not the bonus bill, or the tariff bill, but that bill which by the payment of subsidies to shop owners. might result in the building up of an adequate merchant marine.
 President Harding believes that a merchant marine would redound to the interest of every section of the United States, however remote some sections might be from tidewater. He has ambition to become known as the President during whose administra- tion q real marine was brought about.
 It is understood that the President holds that the question of an Amer ican marine is one to be determined now or never. It Is understood that he believes the defeat of pending legislation would mark the beginning of this nations retrogression.
 Subsidy Will Pass
 The ship subsidy bill will probably be enacted into law. It has been the subject of discussion and open hear ings by the Senate committee on commerce and the House committee on merchant marine and fisheries. sitting jointly.
 It has been freely debated, and proposed amendments considered. It is indicated that eventually it will be produced by the committee at tended by many amendments.
 One alleged joker" has been un- earthed although 1t Is indicated that it slipped into the bill by the anx- iety of the administration that rail roads become deeply interested in overseas shippings. The joker" would permit railroads to own barge lines operating in competition on in- land streams. The committees have agreed to eliminate that language which would tend to give railrpads an opportunity to put goyernrrent owned barge lines out of business
 Democrats To Oppose
 Democrats, it would appear. as a rule, will oppose the subsidy bill. Representative Bankhead of Alabama
