Labor Group Wins Victory Over "48" Conllnurd from Tate Onr goes to the "forty-eight" convention, the leuders of the "forty-eight" arc able to prevent an acceptance of labor's position in regard to the Plumb plan and the government operation of mines. READY TO UNITE , - IN THIRD PARTY riilrnm. .Tnlr a. fRv A. P. An agreement for amalgamation of the Labor party and Committee of Forty eight is In slcht. conference committees reported to the labor convention today. Three proposals of the labor group, however, stand in the way of un agree ment on nnrtv nrlneinles. Thev werV: Tropoi.nl for a capital tax levy ; the nationalization of mines and the. Inclu sion -of the Plumb plan for tripartite -rnnrouu control in tnc new party plat form. Evidence of the labor convention's conciliatory mood was given by several motions to "give, the conference, com mittee n free hand" nnd to "bend'every effort" In the direction of nirripinpiit. Labor spokesmen nrgucd it could do ineir cause no liurm to continue the ne gotiations since the "Forty-elghters" har shown "a genuine disposition nnd desire to get together." A movement to Instruct the confer ence committee on three planks still in dispute wns blocked, leaving the way open for compromise. Farmers Join Convention The labor convention wns thrown Into an uproar when Robert M. Buck, Chicago, chairman of tho labor resolu tions committee, made a motion that credentials of the "Forty-elghters" be honored nnd tho hall prepared for a joint convention. The motion carried amid cheers nnd on its heels u half hundred farmer dele gates from tho "Forty-eight" conven tion nrrlved and were seated after a tmultoiis demonstration. Tho farmer delegates raised n Non partisan League stnndurd above their seats. William Itenfer, a Nonpartisan Leaguer from South Dakota, announced the furmers, after spending five days Inokin gocr nil the conventions in ses sion here, had decided their interests were "Identical with labor." "Wo havedecided to come over nnd stand with labor, fight with Inbor and organize with labor," Itenfer said amidst cheers. The joint conference to reconcile dif ferences between tho Committee of Forty-eight nnd the Labor party broke up today with decision to place all the disputed points before the delegates of hnth conventions in open 'sessions. The conference said the disagreements prin cipally were about a name for the pro poned party and over the degree of nationalization of industry to bo rec ommended in the platforms. The Committee of Forty -eight con ferees yielded to the Labor pnrty on the question of nationalization of bnnks and credit facilities and the "Demo cratic control" of essentinl Industries. The Labor party of the United States. In an ultimatum adopted last night after fifty hours of conference hail failed to bring the party nnd the Committee of Forty-eight together, voted to proceed , to the adoption of n platform nnd selec tion of cnndldntes if u conference report jvns not ready by 10 o'clock this morn ing. The radicnl faction in the labor con vention threatened for severnl hours Inst night to break off negotintlotn. with tho ' orty-elghters immediately. More con servative delegates, however, staved off iho Impending split by throwing their "upportbehlnd the ultimatum which postponed decision until today n'nd gave the conferees another opportunity. The ultimatum was In the nature of a 'omprniniso between the widely dl- jergent views of the extrenio left nnd 'he right wing, one favoring mi Imme diate break and the other Indefinite continuation of the negotiations.

HOUSE QN PEACE V " "'""" " T Senator Blames Treaty Ddlay for Many of the Present-Day Ills That Afflict Europe , DENATOU KNOX nnd Colonel House are in accord In the thought Jhnt the peace treaty ' delay is responsible, for many of the1 present-day Ills lu Europe. Colonel House's views were, cabled o this country from', London. Senator Knox expressed virtually the same thoughts at his Valley Forge home yes terday after reading the chblegnm. Among other things, Colonel House Is quoted as saying: "A suggestion was made In Parts Just after the armistice to proceed at once In the making of a preliminary treaty of peace with Germnny alone, bnscd upon broad general lines and concern ing four subjects army, navy, repara tlons nnd delineation of boundaries. The boundaries need not have been-exact, but should have been no drawn as to give Germnny the assurance that her loss of territory would not be greater than indicated. Such a treaty could havo been made by Christmas of 1018 and would have been not only the Usual but the obvious thing to do. There was nt that time facing Germany the entire allied army, militant and flushed with victory, nnd there would have been no delay or evasion of terms." Finds Own Views Confirmed Senator Knox expressed great grati fication over tbo fact that Colonel House, whom be holds in high esteem, nsldo from -ill political considerations, had confirmed tho views the senntor held nnd expressed in the United .States Honrttp on three different occasions be tween October and Christmas of 1018 Ever since beforo the nrmlstice until the .tlmo of President. Wilson's first trip to Europe the senator, In speech nnd resolution, urgeu uiai peace wun vier many be concluded Immediately and tbnt a league of nations' be considered after ward. When in the course of the Interview, Senator Knox wns asked whether Kc thought that .the "suggestion" to make a speedy peace with Germany hnd been tho cause of the rupture between the President nrid bis trusted confidant, Colonel House, tho senntor declined to make any direct comment. However, he added : "The passage. In the statement indi cates tbnt Colonel House's mind did not go along with tbo President's. It will be remembered tbnt that was the phrase Wilson used when he chucked Lansing.. Colonel House is a maflr of great common sense, keen judgment aud wide experience, nnd be is a mnn who Is not afraid to have and express- an independent view. Tbnt sort of thing will never do with Wilson." Senntor Knox said be agreed with Colonel House that the present Euro pean turbulence contained a renewed menace to-the peace of the entire wotld. And he continued: Blames Wilson for Menace "All the world disturbance ot today, tcllectuals" leading the forty-elghters hnd no real control over the mass of their followers nnd that un appeal from the Labor party would bring the pri vates of the Forty-eight movement into the Inbor ranks. Delegates freely urged that the La bor patty "forget all about the Forty -eight leaders and go after the fanners in their convention." They said that the fanner strength in the other meet ing had no real affinity with the "plutes nnd subtle, slick lawyers," who, they asserted, comprise the leadership of the Forty-eight group. At the height of the vitriolic arraign ment of the rival party, Chairman John II. Walker, president of tho Illinois Federation of Labo. took' the iloor to voice a "deep-seated distrust" of "plutocratic philanthropists, lawyers and professional men who endeavor to solve tho probelms .of thn working peo ple without themselves being members of that class." Made Itestlve By Oratory Ho said he did not renlly believe It wns worth while to try to go any fur ther with the Forty-elghters, nnd thnt the labor delegates, nlready restive un der prolonged oratory, might be kept here for tlfree weeks wnltlug for the lnwycr-lendcrs of tho other purty to "prepnre something legnl and technical nnd with phraseology which covered up Its real meaning" Tho labor delegates, Walker declared, were unable to stand tho expense of staying here to wait for an agreement ut the present rntc of progress. The partly completed labor pint form Includes recommendntlons for comprehensive soldier relief legislation, both through a bonus and preference in tho distribution of rnllronds lnnds In the West, nnd n formal Invitation to farmers' organizations to ally them selves with the Labor party. Meanwhile, In n third hall, the Single Tax party was framing an appeal to Premier Lloyd George urging that his government adopt a single tax policy for Palestine. The Single Tnxers plun today to udopt a platform nnd possibly nominate a presidential candidate in tho event the Committee of Forty-eight nominee proves unsatisfactory to them. They specifically agreed, that they would not join the new party should the nom inee be Senator Ilobert M. La Fol lette. ' ' FORD SEEKS TO LEAD THIRD PARTY MOVE Chicago. July 13.

Sitting In the sun-spotted library of his farm, once the headquarters of his forebear, General Knox, of nevolu tlonary Vnr fnmc, the senator smiled with satisfaction ns he read Colorfcl House's dispatch. He nodded In en thusiastic assent when perusing the pnssago referring to the trenty delay. After reading the statement through carefully, the senator said, In his cus tomary measured tones: "It is a source of great gratification to me to note that Colonel House con firms tho views I took nnd expressed in Congress even as early ns October US, 1018. At that time I insisted, ns will bo apparent from nn Inspection of tho records, that conclusion of pence with Germany was a separate and distinct proposition from the formntlon of n league of nations or other adjustments having to do with reconstruction made necessary as a result of the war.

"This resolution was referred to tho committee on foreign rclntions, which at that time was under Democratic control, Senator Hitchcock, of Ne braska, being its chairman. I was not able to get it voted upon" or even con sidered In the committee. "However, on December 18, 1018, I addressed the Senate nt length upon the resolution nnd particularly with reference to the wisdom, if not the im perative necessity, of separating all other subjects from the pressing and vital one of making peace with Ger many."
