Move for Third Party
Is On; Convention to
Be Called in Chicago
BY KENNETH CLARK,
international News Service. +.

Having weathered their first
storm, third party leaders expressed
confidence today that their efforts
to establish in the United States a
new permanent political party
would be crowned with success.
The final test on the creation
Of the new party will come at the
national convention Of the Confer
ence for Progressive Political Ac-
ton, called for February 81 in
Chicago. This date was decided
upon by the conferences executive
committee which just concluded its
session here.
Already the special committee
named to arrange for the conven-
ton has started work on drafting
the formal call which will be sent
to the farm, labor and progressive
organizations which endorsed the
independent Presidential candidacy
Of Senator Robert M. La Toilette
at Cleveland last. July.
The committee is composed Of
Mrs. Glenn Plumb, widow of the
author of the Plumb PLAN"
Charles MACEDONIAN and John "A.
Lapp, of the Illinois conference
committee; Mrs. Bertha Hale White,
secretary Of the Socialist party.

SHOALS BILL
CROWS
Substitute Bills Offered by
Both Democrats and
Republicans

The Underwood bill for leasing
the 100000 Muscle Shoals
water power project faced a storm
Of amendments today with opposi-
ton growing against it in the Adj
ministration's own ranks Of the
Senate.
Attacks were directed at the
plan for the first time by Admin
istration Senator's, although the
bill has received the approval of
President Coolidge and Secretary
of War Weeks. Both Republicans
and Democrats offered substitute
plans, which would kill the Under
wood proposal in its entirety. This
action is expected to postpone
final vote on the project until next
week.
Wadswcrth Bill.
Two of these substitute bills came
from Administration Senators. One,
offered by Senator Wadsworth
Repl of New York, would create
a five-member Federal commission
to study the Muscle Shoals project
and then finally dispose of it with
out any further action on the part
of Congress. Wadsworth person
ally favored sale of the property to
private interests and strongly OPP
posed the Government operation fea-
| lures of the Underwood plan.
| A similar substitute, proposed by
Senator Jones (Rep) Of Washington,
would create aforementioned COM
mission to consider all offers foI
Muscle Shoals and then report its
recommendation to Congress by
the first Monday in December,
| 1925. Under the Jones plan, the
/ War Department would continue
control of the project for two more
years at least and then Congress
would finally dispose of it.
Democratic Substitute.
| From the Democratic ranks came
a third substitute, offered by Sen.
| ator smith lDem.) or South Dakota,
who proposed to wipe out all the
private leasing provisions of the
Underwood bill and substitute a
plan calling for permanent Govern
ment operation. He condemned the
Underwood bill, charging it would
serve no benefits outside the State
I Of Alabama.
The action of Jones, newly elected
Republican whip, and Wadsworth,
q frequent Administration spokes-
man, came as a distinct surprise
to the Administration ranks.
Neither substitute, according to
Senator Curtis of Kansas, the Re.
publican floor leader, has the back
ing of the White House.
The original plan of Senator Nor.
rfs Rep) of Nebraska, for perma-
Nnent Government operation Of the
| project, meanwhile, was pending.
A score of amendments, offered by
Senator'S Howell (Rep.) OF Nebraska,
Mcclellan Dem) of Tennessee. and
Copeland Dem) of New York, were
also waiting disposition, with little
hope for a final vote on the bill
this week.

sition of throwing the La Toilette
strength into the Democratic primar-
les for the purpose Of Progressive
ing" the Democratic party. He con-
tlnues to be for a new party.
The Socialists agree with him and
so do quite few of the non-trade-
union "intellectuals" in his follow
ing.
These elements will support the
new party convention in the early
part of next year.
The railroad-t rade-union elements
may support it for a while in order
to try to swing it toward their new
idea; but then, If they fail in this en-
deavor, they are likely to depart
from it and go their own way to-
ward McAdoo and the Democratic
, party.
McAdoo Looms Large.
Thus new signs accumulate every
day that il Alfred e. Smith. of New
York. is going to be put into the
Presidential Democratic steeple
chase Of 1928. so also is William
Gibbs McAdoo, of California.
A passion for McAdoo is splitting
the new-party movement and is TAX
ing away from 1t the bulk OF its
organized, disciplined, and moneyec
support.
La Toilette intends to persist in
his new-party purpose, but he plans
to build his new-party organization
not on trade unions or on any Other
organized bodies but on individual
memberships, just like the Ole
parties.
The idea Of a new American
party built on trade unions, like the
British Labor party, is now at least
temporarily totally dead.
La Toilette does not want a new
party of that sort and the bulk OF
the railroad trade unions now dc
not want any new party at all II
they can successfully help to cap
ture the Democratic party for their
candidate and their program.
The net outcome accordingly OF
the meeting here Of the leaders OF
the La Toilette forces is more fire
works in the Democratic party be
tween now and the next national
campaign.

and Farley p. Christensen, Farmer
Labor Presidential candidate in
1920.
The decision to call the convention
in February, against the opposition
of many labor union Representatives,
was regarded in Progressive circles
here today as not only a personal
victory for Senator La Toilette, but
as virtual assurance that the third
party would be launched on a per-
manent basis. La Toilette chieftains
said 1t strongly indicated they would
command sufficient strength in the
convention to override any moves to
abandon the structural organization
Of the party laid during the recent
campaign.
Take Part rs Individuals.
Representatives Of labor unions,
particularly those of the rail broth
erhoods, fought the convention call,
saying that their organizations as
such would not go along with any
new party. At the same time
these same delegates said today
that though their unions would
not affiliate as organizations, they
would be free as individuals to
take part in the convention and
participate in third party work.
THAT is exactly what we want
ed" explained William H. Johnston,
chairman OF the conference and
president Of the International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists. "The
labor unions fundamentally are
economic, not political, organiza-
tons. Even though unions as
such may not participate, the
| members as individuals may. There
will be no break among the rank
and file Of the Progressives."
The sole fact that the executive
committee decided to hold another
convention was tantamount to a
recommendation in favor of estab-
fishing a third party, Progressives
explained. Had the sentiment of
the committee been against the
movement, the resolution ordering
the call would have been voted
down, they declared.
Women Unanimous.
Women members Of the committee
almost unanimously supported the
call. They were granted equal rep
resentation with men on all com
mittees' and, under the edict, this
same representation must be fol-
lowed out in all appointive and
elective offices Of the third party
organization.
Optimism Of the third party
adherents further was heightened
by the virtual certainty that the
executive committee of the Social.
list party, meeting here today,
would pledge its full support to
the new movement.
of course we are strong for a
third party" declared Morris
Hillquit, New York Socialist leader
Il am confident our party will go
all the way in the new movement"
Most Of the Socialists delegates
are members Of the Conferences
executive committee. They will
conclude their sessions tomorrow.

Why a return match between

Golf Driver Tells
When Ball Is

Exceeding the speed limits
has become dangerous for mo-
florists. Police traps are every

TOO much speed on his back

it need happen no longer,
that is, provided the golfer

Roach has invented q unique.
driver, in the head Of which is
a gauge with d dial, and il the
ball is hit properly the pointer
swings all the way around,
whereas a poorly hit ball fails
to entirely register.
In addition the handle Of the
driver is equipped with q reed
like mouth organ. II the club
is drawn back too fast the reed
gives forth a funny ! little
squeak, while If it follows
through too slowly it is again
heard,
