Farley Thanks
Delegates for
Work Done.
SEES GREATER
VOTE THAN 80
Seating of Three
Delegations Is
Contested.
BY JOHN HI. CLINE,
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

PHILADELPHIA. June 22-Dele-
gates to the Democratic National Con-
vention, which opens here tomorrow,
got their first taste of work this morn
ing when the initial meeting of the
National Committee was called to Or
der by Chairman James A. Farley.
Farley thanked the delegates for the
work they have done and expressed
the conviction this convention will be
one of the best in the history Of the
Democratic party.
It am sure" he said, that all Of
us will exert every effort to insure the
reelection Of our candidates this year
by an even greater majority than in
1882"
After the applause evoked by this
prediction had subsidized, w. Forbes
Morgan, secretary to the convention,
began calling the roll Of delegates by
States.
Three Protests Submitted.
The roll call brought forth the first
discordant note in this otherwise har-
monious meeting when three protests
over the seating of delegates were sub
mitted.
The most important contest is that
from Minnesota. The others are from
the Canal Zone and Puerto Rico.
A slight nlix-up followed the sub
mission of proxy for Gov. Ruby
Laffoon of Kentucky by w. C. Clay. jr.
Chairman Farley at first objected to
acceptance of the proxy, explaining he
had letter from the Governor in
which he had stated Urey Woodson,
alien property custodian, held his
proxy.
Woodson, however, said he had de-
clined the Governors request that he
take the proxy.
To reporters he said:
There's no dissention between Gov.
Laffoon and me, but I've been in
the thick Of these convention struggles
for 80 years and I'm tired Of it. This
year intend to sit back on the plat
form and take it easy, so asked the
Governor to give the proxy to some
body else"
Delegates Miss Roll Call.
Although the committee meeting,
scheduled for 10 o'clock, was half an
hour late getting under way, several
of the delegates missed the roll call.
AS these tardy ones came in their
names we're recalled. A burst of ap-
plause greeted the 10:45 arrival of
Senator McAdoo, national committee
man from California. who came here
with his wife last night.
When the name of John Nance Gar
ner was called Roy Miller of Texas
arose and announced that he held
the Vice Presidents proxy. Garner
probably will not come here before
Saturday.
The report of the Committee on
Arrangements, designating the tempo
rary convention officers, was then read
by Morgan.
An adjournment until this after
noon was voted after Chairman Far.
ley had designated three subcommit-
tees of five members each to hear the
respective claims Of the contesting
delegations.
Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City,
Democratic boss of New Jersey, headed
the subcommittee that heard the OPP
posing Minnesota dispute, known as
the Wolf Moonam contest.

By the Associated Press.
The Justice Department was charged
today with the task of taking "ap-
propriate action" in the case Of four
steel corporations accused of collu-
sive bidding by the Federal Trade
Commission.
The companies are the United States
Steel Corp, Bethlehem Steel Corp,
Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. and
Inland Steel Co.
President Roosevelt turned the COM
mission report over to Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings, saying in a letter:
you will note that the Federal
Trade Commission definitely finds the
existence of collision. In accordance
with their recommendation, am re-
ferring the. whole matter to you for
appropriate action"
Identical Bids Admitted"
The report said the four companies
admitted" they quoted identical bids
for the delivery prices of sheet pill
ing on three projects because they
acted pursuant to a resolution of the
industry for the continuance of a sys-
tenn of prices fixed under the provi-
sions Of the former N. r. A. steel
code.
The commission report, prepared al
the request of the President, said the
bids were submitted in August and
September, 1885. on the piling of the
Thorough Bridge at New York, @
harbor project at Miami, and an ocean
terminal at Morehead City, N. C.
The production of steel sheet piline
was said in the report to be concen-
trated Gin the hands of four con-
cerns."
In recommending to Mr.. Roosevelt
that the whole question be turned
over to the Justice Department, the
commission said there was reason
able ground to believe that the anti
trust laws have been violated"
The President also asked Attorney
General Cummings to prepare "a
draft of recommendations to the Con-
gress at its next session"
In reply to a specific inquiry by the
President, the commission said it was
unable to obtain definite information
as to whether there had been dump
ing Of German steel sheet piling in
the United States at less than prices
charged purchasers in Germany"
A controversy over this question
arose several months ago when pur.
chases of German piling for P. w. A
construction were considered.
1t also was unable to ascertain def
initely, the trade commission said
whether the prices submitted by the
four companies were fair and reason
able"
"As a matter of public policy" II
added, sit cannot be admitted that
prices collusively determined in viola
ton of law might conceivably be fan
and reasonable"
Attention was called to a statement
by Secretary Ickes, P. w. A. admin.
istrator, that during the nine months
subsequent to N. r. A. codes his de.
partment had received identical bid,
on 48 commodities in 257 instances
and that this was leading to nullifica-
ton of the statute requiring com.
petitive bidding.
