By CLINTON XV. GILBERT
Cowrtoht, 1010, bit rubllo Ledger Co.
Uilcaso, July 14.-The third-party
movement fs apparently wrecked. There
wm emerge probably n Lnbor party,
wmi some supuort among the radical
armors nnrnnUntlnnct
The stromjrst of the farm orgnniza

the third-party movement, but has been
watching to mp Whether It would de
velop Into something with strength. and
permanency, win probably decline to
associate itself with the movement.
Jhe conferences Inst night led to some
modification of the platform proposed
py tlle Jnbor lenders, but on essentlnls
tho .platform remains unchanged. Re
ports differ ns to whether the revised
draft was submitted-to Senator La Fol
lctto or not, Some sny thnt It has been,
bul others say that Ln Follette's rep
resentatives felt it to be useless to lay
the modified platform before him ho-
caUSC It differed so uMpIv In p.irntlnlu
'from La Follette's position."
Aim at Clois Party
La Follette's frlen'ds here feel thnt
the wholo third-party movement has
been so discredited by what has hap
pened during the last few days that it
would bo a mistake for him to lnel hl
name to Jt. The labor leaders here
have been bent upon creating a class
party like the British Labor party.
They have maneuvered thrmaolupu Infn
control ot the situation. They have-taken
ine convention ot the rortv-e eht awuv
from Amos Plnehot, George L. Record
nnd their associates. They have, every
thing except tho candidate whom they
wanted.

Street ,f leaning 'directly by the cltyjis,
reomrnerjdfl
nnmeu ny Jiajor ,Moorc to investigate
that subject.
The Investigation was an outgrowth
of the new city charter which made
municipal street-cleaning mandatory
unless the Mayor and Council agreed
thnt a continuance oflhe contract sys
tem wni advisable..
The committee .consisted of Chief
Eorlc B. Mordep. of the Bureau of
Street Cleaning: John II. Neeson.
principal engineer of the Bureau of
Highways, and J. W. Follln, of the
Bureau of Municipal Research.
The three experts considered three
phases of the task of making n "spot
less Town" of this city. One was the
cleaning of the streets, another the col
lection of ashes and rubbish, the third
the collection of garbage.
According to Mr. Follln, the members
wore agreed on Hie desirability of street
clcanlug nnd of the rcmovnl of gaibugc
directly by the city.
Necson Does Not Conrur
Mr. Necson, nccordlng to the munici
pal research bureau expert, did not con
cur In the proposition that the city also
could collect ashes nnd rubbish by the
direct rather than the contract method.
Mr. Necson is said to haw submitted
n memorandum, separate from the com
mittee report, which recommended that
the collection by contract of ashes and
rubbish be continued for another jear.
Major Moore, commenting favorably
on the minority report, which he said
coincided with his views, apparently hnd
the Impression that Mr. Necson thought
the city could not undertake the clean
ing of streets this jear.
.Mr. Follin's account of the report,
however, indicates that the Mayor was
mistaken In his impression.
Mr. Neeson's appointment usassistnnt
director of public works is predicted.
Assistant Director Wagner, now iu of
fice, is scheduled to go back to his old
post as n district survejor.
Mr. M onion is scheduled to go also,
as hus been said "before. His pro
visional nppoiutment expires July -0.
The charter providjgv that provisional
appointees may be dropped without ex
planation. .Minority Report Surprise
The announcement thnt Mr. Necson
had made a minority report of the in
vestigatlug committee's activities came
as a surprise, as no intlmutlou had been
given tliut tho first icpoit was not
unnnimous.
The commission visited ninny of 'the
big eastern cities to study conditions
before submitting the report.
Tho charter provides that the Mayor
or Council may invite bids for the per
formniicc of the street-cleaning work
prior to the first of August, so thnt the
most economical way of performing the
work may bo chosen.
Bids are to be ochcrtised for not later
than the first day of October nnd the
bids are to bo Included iu tho Muyor's
budget to Council
Iu lino with the plan to continue the
contrnct system until money for the
municipal plant is available, the Mayor
is expected to invite bids within the
next two weeks,

Inotlon. Plnehot and Record and the
rest of the conservative orgnuizers of
the Forty-eight are likely. also to with
draw' their names from'the third-party
movement. Their withdrawal means
very little In oignnixrd votes, but it
means much with regard to the standln.?
of the third party.
Radical Proletariat Movement
La Foltette'.s rcfual to run was ex
pected and 'the abandonment of the
third party liy Plnehot nnd Record will
stamp It publicly ns a radical proletariat
movement. The new party. 'without
these liberal leaders and without Lu
Follette ns'lts candidate, would not be
such n party ns this country has been
used to," but one nppenling only to
working class lnteicts nnd semlrevolu
tlonnry In Its chnratter. In upparent
recognition, of this fact, the leaders ex
pressed determination to "draft" the
Wisconsin senator despite his unwill
ingness. The Conservative leaders of the Forty
eight played their last card last , night
when they Informed the Lnbor 'party
leaders thnt La Follette would not be
conic the candidate of such a parry as
they were creating, nor upon such a
platform as they were proposing. They
had had since Monday night n sample
draft furnished Roc of such a platform
as La Folletto would accept.
This platform started out with n-Iopg
tho urogram of the Forty-eight or
gnnizcrs. But on the economic issues
La"Follettc's platform agreed with that
of the Forty-eight.

tion of coal deliveries.
"The German delegation regrets that

out further agreement." said Doctor
Simons, "but we hnve done ns much as
ue could and await the action of thai
Allies." This statement was made, prior
to Doctor Simons's conference with

The allied ministers still appear
firm in their decision thnt Germany
shall deliver 2,000,000 tons of coal
monthly.
