council, would indicate that you
fully approve of the course pur-
sued by the Post-Intelligencer man
agement and that your local rep
resentatives were and are operat-

it appears that the gentlemen in

sitions and walked out in an effort
to force you to submit to unjust
discrimination against your paper.
Less Than Rivals Wages.
'Is it possible that you do not
know that the ultimatum of your
local representatives, submitted to
the Seattle Typographical union the
day the strike vote was taken, de-
manded that the P.-L. printers
work for less than your Seattle
competitors were paying-less even
than the scale of wages in effect
prior to January 1, 1924-less even
than the wage scale in effect at the
very time you advocated, in large
type, over your own signature,
good wages for printers? To be
specific: The 1924 wage scale, paid
and being paid by the other daily
papers, provides for increases of
z IT cents per hour for day work
and 10 81 cents per hour for night
work. The ultimatum Of your rep
resentatives demanded decreases
of 1921 cents per hour for day
work and 2-21 cents per hour for
night work. In other words, you
offered to pay the P.-L. printers
IA 1921 cents per hour less, and
Is 1921 cents per hour less than
your Seattle competitors had been,
were and are paying. How accept

NEW YORK June 24.-Twenty-
five thousand orange, blue and white
lamps linked into a festoon from
Washington Arch to Sixtieth street
have welcomed the delegates to the
city from every part of the country
to the 26th national convention of
the Democratic party.
Fifth avenue is one impressive,
Immense aurora of light. The street
appears to be rather appropriate for
the occasion of big capitalist party,
a great golden way. For the next
week or two it will be called the
avenue of States" Every state in
the union has its own block on the
proudest thorofare of the biggest and
richest city in the world.
In the Shadow of Wall Street.
The city is all convention. The big.
wigs from the donkey party are all
gathered here. Within a stones
throw from Wall Street, in the Madi-
son Square Garden, the democratic
standard-bearer will be chosen. The
atmosphere smells dreadfully of ma.
chine oil. Headquarters dot the city.
Every sumptuous hotel is occupied
by some presidential aspirant. The
reputed dark horse, Ralston, main.
tains majestic suite in the Waldorf
Astoria. Doheny's lawyer, William G.
McAdoo, entertains his wealthy
friends in the gorgeous rooms of the
Vanderbilt. Governor ZAP Smith
has his board of strategy quartered
in the magnificent Hotel Commodore
The corridors Of the principal hotels
are cluttered with delegates. The
lobby talk is as intense as it is
voluminous.
Divided Party.
The main item of interest, of
course, is the choice of presidential
nominee. Here it's everybody's guess
and nobody's knowledge. The demo
cratic party represents a very sharp
contrast to the republican aggrega-
ton. 1t represents one mass of di-
visions. 1t lacks the centralized lead.
ership-a national bossism lavish
with the patronage of offices-that is
SO characteristic of the republican
party under Coolidge.
The multiplicity of issues to be
thrown out before the delegates are
comparable only to the number of can
didates for the presidency. Tariff,
taxation, dryness and wetness, for
eign policy, the Khan, and honest
government" are among the principal
questions to be dangled before the
convention. The present inner party
situation is much akin to that of 1856,
when the last democratic convention
was held in Tammany Hall, New

quite clear to us.
Thought Hearst a Friend.
For months union representa-
tives fruitlessly tried to induce the
Pr. to agree to pay the 1924 wage
scale. 1t continued to pay so and
rs cents a day less. Time and
again they appealed to you-and
received kind and courteous re-
plies. The commonest expression
among us then was: Don't worry:
we're working for Hearst. our
friend. Some day he'll understand
the situation and pay us every cent
due us under the 1924 wage SCALE
Imagine our amazement and cha
grin when confronted finally with
your ultimatum refusing longer to
pay even the 1923 wage scale, and
offering to pay a wage scale
which, the circumstances consid-
cred, no union could accept and
remain a union.
Had Scabs Ready.
This astounding offer was made
after your non-union crews had ar
rived in Seattle and were ready
to take our positions. They in

Swallowing LaFolIette.
Everybody here is trying to placate
LaFollette and prevent him from
launching ticket of his own. The
McAdoo forces have announced their
readiness to stand for a program
suitable to the Wisconsin senator and
are prepared to accept vice presi-
Dental nominee satisfactory to him.
This is particularly important in view
of the possibility of the election OF
the president being thrown into the
house Of representatives.
The anti-McAdoo forces are pursu-
ing the same policy toward LaFollette,
Edward Moore Of the Ohio delegation,
one of the leading opponents of Nc
Adoo, has come out in favor of accept
ing many of the planks of the LaFol-
lette program.
Huston Thompson of the federal
land Of New York, who are supposed
to be in favor Of LaFollette, are
being groomed as vice presidential
possibilities in an effort to swallow
what is left of LaFollette. The Dem
ocratic machine men point with pride
to the success they have had in CO.
operating with the so-called Repub-
lican progressives in the last congress
sional session.
The Democratic Dilemma.
Still the Democratic party is up
against it in this maneuver for sham
progressivism. Its outstanding pro-
gressive, Mr.. McAdoo, has served as
a lawyer for such big business inter
ests as the Doheny oil corporations,
the Republic Iron and Steel company
and the Morse interests. At least nine
tenths of the campaign funds expend-
ed by both parties come from Wall
Street. Hence the program cannot be
made too pink. Pale progressivism
is the goal Of the Democratic powers
here. AL Smith, who does make a
somewhat popular appeal, is anything
but a progressive in politics and is
disqualified because of his being a
Catholic. This is not the year to ex-
pertinent with the religious issue.
The political wiseacres expect the
Democratic machine to pursue pol
icy aimed at garnering every possible
vote in November.
Every subterfuge, every trick Of the
game, every sleight-of-the-hand, every
political artifice will be employed at
the Democratic convention to appear
progressive, to assume liberal tinge
and at the same time to satisfy the
non-partisan interests Of Wall Street
that the donkey party is at least as
safe and conservative for big capital
as the elephant party.

Grove Tries to Prove
Self Fearless Foe of
Rich in Murder Case

The defense in the trial of Nathan
Leopold and Richard Loeb, confessed
murderers Of young Robert Franks
are today searching the country to Sc
cure the services of more brain spe.
cialists in an effort to establish that
the young millionaire killers are in
sane. This action follows only few
weeks after the announcement by the
boys parents that they would not use
their millions to cheat justice.
Already the defense has had two
wellknown alienists examine the boys
to prove them insane. More are ex.
pected to be called in soon. This
would indicate that the parents of the
bows Intend md r. nutsru defense such
as has not been seen since Harry
Thaw was put on trial. The million
aire kids who killed the Franks boy
out of lack of something better to do
are cynical about the rantings of the
Justice" seeking capitalist press.
They seem to know that the only in
terest those papers have in their case
is the opportunity it affords to furnish
good copy"
While the defense is preparing to
prove the boys crazy, Robert E.
Grove, who is running for reelection,
is bending all his efforts to making a
showing in the case between now and
election day. The Leopold-Loeb case
has been little message from heaven
to him. In it he and his political
hackers Ehee the chance of a lifetime
to prove that Grove is the fearless
friend of Justice, who is even willing
to prosecute millionaires. Grove
hopes that this case will wipe from
the minds Of the voters the memory
of his anti labor administration Of the
prosecutors ONCE.
