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

vention threatened for severnl hours Inst
night to break off negotintlotn. with tho

servative delegates, however, staved off
iho Impending split by throwing their

postponed decision until today n'nd gave
the conferees another opportunity.
The ultimatum was In the nature of a

KNOX APPROVES THE VIEWS
OF COL. 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. ' '

Sitting In the sun-spotted library of
his farm, once the headquarters of his
forebear, General Knox, of nevolu

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

Chicago. July 13. Grain traders ex

wheat market considerably when It re

than by any other crop blight. Spring

the last five years havo deteriorated

Exporters After Limited Wheat
Wheat traders expect the market will
reopen wjth modernte business nnd cau

Exporters arc after limited nmounts.
Corn traders recently turned ns bearish
as they, had been bullish, nnd ensh
corn's decline of more than thirty cents
In three weeks Increased their confi
dence. A great deal of corn selling has
been on heavy receipts nt primary
markets for several weeks, the heaviest
for tho period in eight years, but this
movement is regarded as hnvlng reached
its maximum.' The new cron can vleld

Corn accumulations nt terminals arc

not burdensome. The corn mnrkct has
broken better for the bears of late than
at any previous time in a vear. Coarse
grains ore largely domestic, while the

In retiring from the presidency of the
county engineers' organization. Mr.
Wasser told of various reforms be ex
pects to introduce in the Btate Highway
Department. He said it would be his
special effort to, speed up construction
of state highway work and to hasten
the npproval of plans nnd specifications
for all work involving state aid,
With n view to getting the ronds
down and in use as soon as possible,
Mr. Wasser ureed co-oneratlon on the
part of county cneglncers throughout the
state in the construction and mainte
nance of nil highways.
Mr. Wasser also asked the association
to mnke recommendations for the mnin
tennnce of grnvel roads, with a view to
adopting some standard plan for their
upkeep. He said this subject should be
taken up especially by the engineers
of southern counties, where there is a
large mileage ot gravel roads. Such
roads, although satisfactory while lu
good repair, deteriorate rapidly, and the
problem of thir proper maintenance is
one 'Nvhich has baffled engineering de
partments throughout the southern
counties of the state.

his selection nv stnte hlghwny engineer

addresses from members of the nssocln

county engineers: William C. Cattell,
of Gloucester; L. M. Rice, of Cape
