THIRD PARTY
HOPES BLASTED
BY RAIL CHIEFS
Leave ProgressiUes and
Socialists in SquabbIe

The Iong-heralded convention Of the
conference of progressive political &C
ton was broken up by the railway
brotherhood chiefs refusal to take
part in a third party.
A national provisional conference
for the formation of an independent
political party, which was held fol-
lowing the adjournment of the C. P.
P. A., was demoralized by the with
drawal Of the railroad union heads
and doomed by the lack of any sort
of mass character, thus failing to &C
eompIish its purpose.
Shepherd Turns on Cold Water.
From the beginning, the third par
ty was doomed. Delegate Shepherd,
head of the railway conductors and
spokesman for the recalcitrant broth
erhood chiefs, threw the first painful
of cold water when he submitted
resolution that would have the dele
gates say:
at is the sense of this body that
a new party should not be formed"
His proposal was not very well re-
ceived and was followed by amend
ments and substitute asking for the
formation of all kinds of new par
ties. But the brotherhood chiefs were
firm. Their better business judgment,
they said, told them the time was
not ripe for new party and that for
the present they were determined to
continue the policy of reward your
friends and punish your enemies"
HlllquIt Urges Labor Party.
Morris Hillquit, representing the
executive committee of the socialist
party, brought forward an amendment
to provide for the immediate organ
ization Of an American labor party.
1t should be patterned after the Brit
ish labor party and should be based
on the principles of industrial and
political democracy"
When charged that these were So
cialist principles, it was pointed out
that the phrase is common inhabi-
tant Of american Federation Of Labor.
documents
Wnen IL was seen that the brother
hoods were definitely not to be con-
sidered, a fight started between the
progressives and the S. p over
the character of the new party. The
progressives didn't want another So
cialist party, they said. They wanted
a party to represent the five million
citizens who voted for LaFollette
Hillquit saw the breakers ahead.
The wealthy New York lawyer sum-
moned his greatest powers of ora
tory. Let us agree at least that we
want new party. Very well, the
progressives said, we will agree to
that, but we will insist on our own
kind of party.
Debs Speaks; HilIquit Dickers.
The brotherhood chiefs had invited
them to go and organize a new party
if they wanted one. Hillquit got
worried. To give himself time to
plead with the brotherhoods to- get
out and let the party boosters have
the hall, he urged Debs to rise and

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The British
government is willing to enter into a
disarmament conference with the
United States mo matter how wide
the scope" it was said at the British
foreign office today. sssli1 a
The British government has not,
however, received from the American
government any definite proposals for
a disarmament conference, the foreign
Office asserted. 1t said that England
would welcome" such an. invitation
from the United States. so
"Barkis Is WiIIin'"
Great Britain is willing, too, that
the conference should be held in
Washington. This is in contrast to the
policy of the Macdonald government,
which insisted that the conference
must be held in Europe.
The conference should not be called
until autumn because of the question
of French security still being unset
tied, the foreign Office pointed out.

TO be drawn once more-the lessons
of the defeat of the workers of Paris
and the lessons that the Russian revo-
luton has taught the workers-the
lessons of victory.
In order better to portray the action
of the workers of Paris against the
bourgeoisie whose. assembly was gath
cred at Versailles, the committee in
charge has arranged pageant, that
will excel for its magnitude. Hundreds
Of comrades and sympathizers, if not
thousands, will participate in this
grandiose pageant, which will be the
biggest thing that the Communists of
New York have ever undertaken.
The pageant will be directed by DR..
Alexander Arkatov, who conducted
the magnificent production of "The
Dawn" in Moscow.
The pageant will require a good
sized band-and above all a large
number of comrades to act in the mass
scenes. All comrades of the Workers
Party, Y. W. L. and Junior groups who
are willing to devote themselves to the
pageant and to participate in it, should
report at once to Comrade Fralkin,
at the district Office. Little time can
be lost, as there are only three weeks
left.

Tons of slate have fallen from the
roof Of the mine since the explosion

o. C. Thomas, checkweighman for the

The mine is about 800 feet deep
and has been in operation for two
years. Up until the time of the ex-
plosion, the mine produced an aver

most of which was shipped to Chi

said that the disaster was the worst
mine catastrophe in Indiana in many
years. Daily has been in charge of

papers showing that they had been

have returned TO their ship several

The Shcrifr's office has notified
naval officials at Los Angeles that
the sailors are in custody here, and
has asked that an officer be sent
