New York, leading candidate for
the presidential nomination.
He and his forces in this conven-
ton had sought a plank merely
pledging the party to submission of
the question Of repeal.
Fearing defeat in the convention,
however, some Roosevelt managers,
shortly before the final session Of the
resolutions committee, retreated to
neutral position.
The repealists and modification
lists, led by AL Smith and Governor
Albert c. Richie, won victory that
marked the high spot Of the con-
vention thus far.
Hull Leads Submission Fight
If there was ever any doubt that
the prohibition plank victory was a
Roosevelt test, and a Roosevelt de-
feat, it was removed when Sena-
tor Cordell Hull, No. Roosevelt
man in Tennessee and the south, led
the fight against the majority re-
peal plank.
Twice, even while he simply was
reading the minority or Roosevelt
report on prohibition, he met ire
mendous chorus OF boos and cries
Of "Sit down."
While the uncompromising anti
prohibition plank was accepted en-
Enthusiastically by the convention,
politicians, particularly those of the
Roosevelt camp, are concerned deep
" about its effect on the November
election.
Can the party retain the south
with this plank? they ask. The
conventions opinion undoubtedly
was "Yes!"
Held Worth Million Votes
How greatly will it strengthen
Roosevelt, If nominated, in New
York and elsewhere in the east,
where he is admittedly very weak?
Many say 1t will add a million votes
there and elsewhere.
Will the important financial
phase Of the modification plank
that is, the federal revenue that
will come from United States taxes
on legal beer-help quiet opposi-
ton in the south and dry sections
of the west?
TIL consensus is that it will.
The prohibition plank was flung
upon the expectant convention late
in a day devoted chiefly to enter
tainment.
When the platform committee
met, the wet leaders were hopeful,
Majority Plank Is Surprise
But the announcement that what
had been the minority prohibition
plank suddenly had become the
majority plank by the overwhelm-
ing vote Of 35 to II, was greeted
with a gasp by the crowd that
waited outside the committee door
Roosevelt supporters in the COM
mittee room, just after it adj
iourned, were heard to bemoan the
fact that the Governors managers
had suffered a defeat.
These Roosevelt men, in the sub
committee and elsewhere, had been
demanding and predicting - the

CHICAGO, June 30-All prizes

Texan had anticipated the wet
platform somewhat.
In a voice that would carry a
couple of miles among the coulees

intervals:

odd policemen in and near the

his fun.

Those with bank accounts did

CHICAGO. April April first,
traditional holiday of union coal
miners, brought little cheer to the
mines today as $4,000 workers faced
unemployment in wage dispute.
Coal regions of the West Virginia
panhandle, Illinois, Ohio and Indi-
ana were affected by the wage dis
pute between the United Miue
Workers of America and operators.
The crisis arrived on the thirty
fourth anniversary of the initial
adoption of the eight-hour day for
miners. Each year the day has
been celebrated as a holiday by the
organized workers.
In Illinois 41,000 workers were
affected by closing of IA mines.
The Ohio and West Virginia fields
had about $4,000 men out of work
due to a strike and 1000 men are
affected by the shutdown in Indi-
ana.
AT midnight Thursday night an
agreement between the union and
operators in Illinois and Indiana
expired. The fields we're closed
pending negotiations of new con-
tract which has been held up thus
far by refusal of the union to ac-
cept a wage reduction from the for
mer basic scale of S6.i0 a day.
