PHILADELP HIA, June 26
0.N.SO.-President Roosevelt was
presented today by the Demo
cratic National Convention with
a platform promising to keep
agriculture, labor, business and
youth on the road to freedom
and prosperity"
The two longest planks in the
platform were drawn to capture
the votes of American agriculture
and organized labor, indicating
the trend of the Democratic cam
spaign nexta fall. ---..
Bid to BOrah
There was one bid in it to win
the support of Senator William
e. Borah (R. )of Idaho. This
was a specific promise in it's
anti-monopoly plank to restore
the effectiveness OF antitrust
laws. The Republican convention
previously struck this pledge from
the plank written by Borah him
self.
Three high points in the plat
form, aside from the farm, labor
and anti-monopoly planks, were a
declaration for payment of pre-
vailing wages on relief projects.
elimination of the word gold from
the monetary plank and promise
to seek a constitutional amend
ment for Federal and State solu-
ton of drought, dust storm, flood,
minimum wage, maximum hour.

tions in industry, and control OF
monopoly, if this cannot be done
under the present Constitution.
The declaration for payment OF
prevailing wages on relief projects
was a direct reversal OF the Ad-

CHICAGO, June 26 QN.S)
Swift & Co. has sold all Of its
stockyard holdings to John De
Witt, New York capitalist and
investment banker, for approx
mately 10 million dollars. it was
learned today.
De Witt will convey the hold
ingS to United Stockyards Corpor-
alton, a newly-chartered concern,
which will offer its securities to
the public next month.
This ends a 14-year controversy
between the big Chicago packing
concern and the United States
Government. BY the So-called
packers consent decree, entered
in 1921, the packing firms prom
ised to diveSt themselves of their
Stockyard holdings.
No action was taken for a num-
ber of years, and in 1882 Swift &
Co. once more took the matter to
the courts. In June, 1882, the Su-
preme Court of the District Of Co
lumbia upheld the Governments
position and appointed Harry New,
former Postmaster General, truS-
tee, with instruction to force liqul-
dation of holdings.
The current deal involves hold
ingS in nine yardS-Milwaukee,
Sioux City, Brighton, Mass; Port
land, Ore; San Francisco, Toronto,

RAILWAY LAW
HELD VOID

The second effort of the Ad-
ministration to set up a Federally
controlled retirement system for
railway employees failed in the
District Court of the United
States here today when Justice
Jennings Bailey held unconstitu-
tional the Railway retirement leg
iSlation of 1885.
An earlier railway retirement
act, passed in 1884, was invalid.
ated by Chief Justice Alfred A.
Wheat and his opinion was con-
firmed by the United States Su-
preme Court more than a year
ago.
The legislation invalidated by
Justice Bailey today consisted of
two separate acts, which the court
found to be subterfuge to avoid
the unconstitutional provisions of
the ill-fated legislation of 1884.
The first act provided for the
collection Of 31a per cent tax
on railroad pay rolls and a SINH
lar tax on employees wages. The
funds. collected by the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, would have been
paid into the general fund of the
Treasury and the first installment
under the gigantic levy, which
would have been paid June 80,
would have aggregated more than
$18, 100000.

Democrats Go Wild as
Presidents Name
Is Presented
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

CONVENTION HALL, Philadel-
phia, June 26 .N.S0.-Contro-
versies behind them, arguments
ended, the Democrats, in their ma
tional convention today, got down
to the real business, the renomina-
ton of President Roosevelt. They
rallied enthusiastically to the job.
Judge John E. Mack, neighbor
and lifelong friend of Mr.. RooSe-
welt, again placed him in nomina-
ton. He nominated him four years
ago at Chicago, and, today, amid
far different surroundings. in an
entirely different environment, he
again gave the convention the
name of his old friend, saying:
81 give you as your candidate,
no longer a citizen of merely
one State but a son Of all the 4S
States, Franklin ID. Roosevelt"
A spontaneous roar came from
the floor and galleries, and the
convention came to its feet.
First Reviews Record
Prior to the actual mention Of
Mr.. RooSevelt'S name, Judge
Mack had reviewed the four years
that have passed since he placed
Mr.. Roosevelt in nomination at
Chicago. And he gave the Presi-
dent full credit, heaping over, for
the recovery since 1882. He said:
"When the crash came
neither the bankers nor big buSi-
ness nor the Administration
which had given them aid and
comfort had any workable Sug-
gestiOns for relief. 1t is true
that some aid was extended to
certain favOrite banks and in
stitutiOnS. But the people had
lost confidence. Six thousand
banks had failed. Bankruptcy
was rampant throughout the
land.
"The country, led by the
Democratic party, turned to
this young GalIahad for relief,
for aid and for help"
Under Mr.. RooSevelt's Admin
iStration, Judge Mack declared:
1--WE have blazed a path to
prosperity and security.
"Our faces are toward prog
gress. We shall not turn back
in this conflict between greed
and humanity"
Who, he asked. is complaining
against the Administration OF
Mr.. Roosevelt? Not, he answered,
the farmer and the home owner
"who have been saved; not the
million-and-a-haf boys sheltered in
