TO SOLIDIFY MIDWEST

GriSWold'S selection .yas inter-
preted as a move to Solidify mid
we-.ern support behind Dewey.
Gov Earl Warren, of California.
apparently is first choice Of eastern
and western delegates for vice
president
The draft Dewey campaign
wound up in a stampede for his
band wagon on Sunday as the big,
unpledged states caucuSed in Chi
cago's hotels, but Gov. John w.
Bricker Of Ohio, and the managers
CT 1t. Cmdr. Harold E. Stassen.
former governor of Minnesota, stub
bornly contested the last pre-nomi-
nation hours. BY a gesture of quick
withdrawal Bricker might take the
vice presidential nomination for
himself.
One by one the big ones fell to
Dewey. Dapper and politically
aStute Gov. Green of Illinois, started
the big state delegations into the
Dewey camp. Green called a caucus
Saturday night and by Sunday
morning so of the states SO dele
gates had pledged themselves to the
New Yorker. Pennsylvania caucused
and Dewey tailed 10 more Michi-
gan added Al. Then the managers
OF the draft Dewey" campaign
came out from behind their caution
and opened spacious Dewey for
president" headquarters on the
Stevens hotels mezzanine.
TAFT HOLDS FIRM
Senator Robert A. Taft, of Ohio,
most likely compromise nominee if
this meeting had been maneuvered
into deadlock, did not give up.
The great majority of the dele
gates, said the senator, prefer to
vote for Bricker. Why? Because
he's the strongest candidate
But still the tally OF Dewey dele
gates went up. Estimates of his
first ballet strength ranged up TO
go among the 1,057 delegates. A
United Press tally showed 668 votes
for him among 80 states and terri
tories, headed by New Yorks SO. The
fact seems to be that Dewey was
almost in by acclamation.
This became the more evident
when California delegates officially
swung behind Dewey with a caucus
pledge to cast all so votes for him
on the first ballot
There is still some fight in this
convention however, and it will
show. If at all, in a possible floor
contest over the platform which
some OF the more internationally
inclined Of the assembled statesmen
complain contains some rubber
words in the foreign relations
plank. But beyond that there does
net appear TO be any major likeli-
hood Of rift in party harmony.
BLAST AT NEW DEAL
The domestic platform planks
tentatively are shaping up into an
indictment of new deal regimen
tation,' a hint of hope for lower
taxes and an agricultural program
for bountiful production and some
satisfactory substitute for subsidies.
There is not much talk here of early
balancing of the budget, but econ
omy is riding high.
If the COPS streamlined program
runs 70 schedule, the 1914 platform
will be adopted Tuesday morning.
Herbert C. Hoover and Representa-
tive Clare Boothe Luce, will be
speaking stars Tuesday night-the
elder statesman who was president
and the party's prettiest congress-

MEXICAN WORKERS
GET WAGE INCREASE

Mexico City (ILNS).-The Difficult
ties between the Southern Pacific
Railroad and the Sindicato de Traba-
jadores Ferrocarriles Syndicate of
Mexican Railroad Workers. in regard
to wage increases have been settled
The majority of the demands form
ulated by the workers some months
earlier have come to a satisfactory So
luton. The only remaining question is
the pay increase for piece workers
(mostly machinists) Here, too, the
basis for an immediate understanding
has been established.
The agreement signed in the pres
ence of the Junta Federal de Concilia-
cion Arbitraje, the legal representa-
tive of the Southern Pacific Railroad,
and Of the union, stated that wages
up to 7.50 pesos day should be in
creased in accordance with the scale
of emergency wage increases fixed by
the President of Mexico. Wages above
this amount are to be increased by 10
percent
