Under the conditions, the Poles would retire to the front of Grodno. Brest Litovsk and south of Przemyal. while Mr. Callahan explained his asser tlon with the statement that the present high school curriculum is apt to induce in the graduate a willing ness to accept only a "white collar" job.

According to mem bers of the platform committee, the pet platform desires of several groups were ignored. After several hours' debate the convention recessed until 8 o'clock, Chicago time. The double auota of delegates over taxed the seating arrangement of the hall arid a general change was or dered, delayirg the opening of the night se3s:on lor more than an hour. It was finally necessary to shift sev eral delegations to the gallery. The amalgamation of the principal groups was effected this morning after the committee of 48 voted to join the national labor party. A large non-partisan league groups, and a delegation of single-taxers marched into the labor convention and an nounced they also had decided to amalgamate. Irish. Recognition Urged. The platform committee reported on the joint platform recommended: Recognition of Ireland and soviet Russia and a league of nations to the "end that all kings and wars be abol ished," were included. Other planks covered: A soldiers' bonus and steeply grad uated income tax; democratic con trol of industries by me workers and public ownership and operation of public utilities and natural resources. The singla-taxers' plank was not ncluded in the platform as it was presented to the convention The remaining planks were devoted o reduction of the cost of living; in creased production: promotion of ag ricultural prosperity and a bill of rights for labor. One Plank Swallowed. The international relations plank has been acceded to by the 4S lead ers, but is directly contrary to the result of the referendum taken by the party. Besides advocating, recognition of the Irish republic and Russian soviet, the plank proposes lifting of the Russian blockade and refusal to fight Mexico "at the behest of Wall street. J. A. H. Hopkins of New York. chairman of the f orty-eighters' na tional committee, was elected joint chairman to preside over the amalga mated convention with John H. Walk er of the labor party. Mr. Hopkins, In his speech of acceptance, said the two parties had come together on the only common ground they could agree on. A motion to cork the flow of ora tory was voted -down and Allen He Curdy, George L. Record and Dudley Field Malone. all leading forty- eighters of New York and New Jersey were called to the platform. "The great thing has happened and a new party has been born today.' Amos Pinchot said amid cheers. He suggested the only work remaining to be done was to "take the demo cratic and republican parties out and bury them." Delegates Heat Ton-Partisan. O. M. Thompson, a non-partisan league leader from Minneapolis, ad dressed the delegates, after which a motion that no more speaking be permitted was adopted by a volume of "ayes." The chairman then called for the report of committees. Jim Duncan finally obtained suffi cient order to introduce John H. Walker, labor party chairman, as the "next governor of Illinois." The question of representation came up just as the platform committee en tered the hall and a debate followed that was characterized by pleas for unity. The convention was thrown Into Lan uproar when Robert M. Buck, Chi ago, chairman of the labor resolu tions committee, made a motion that credentials of the f orty-eighters be nonorea ana the nail prepared for a joint convention. Farmer Delegates Seated, The motion carried amid cheers and on its heels a half-hundred farmer delegates from the 48 con vention arrived and were seated after tumultous demonstration. The farmer delegates raised a non partisan league standard above their seats. William Remfer, a non-partisan leaguer from South Dakota, an nounced the farmers, after spending nve days looking over all the con ventions in session, here, had decided their interests were "identical with labor. We have decided to come over and stand with labor, fight with labor and organize with labor," Remfer said, amidst cheers. The single-taxers arrived on the eels of the farmers and indorsed tne amalgamation movement. National Ticket Provided. A national ticket only is provided for in the coming election by the report of the joint conference com mittees of the minority groups. But the report explained, however, that where any of the parties had organ ized ror a state campaign that or ganization shall be the recognized state boay ror 1320. The convention heard the resolu tions committee report and approved the planks on co-operative stores election laws, enfranchising migra tory workers and a number of other resolutions, including: Relief from starvation wages and inhuman treatment" for the postal employes. Sympathy for Eugene Debs and Jim Larkin, "martyrs to the cause- Demand for immediate repeal of the Esch-Cummins law and "democratic management of the railroads. A committee recommendation for a national committee composed of three members in each state, at least one of whom must be a woman, was adopted over protests of non-partisan league delegates and miners. They objected on the ground that the committee o 48 might obtain .a majority of the committee. Platform la Discussed. George L. Record, Dudley Field Malone, Allen McCurdy and C. France of Washington appeared b fore the convention and Mr. Record explained platform differences. "We feel that Senator Robert La Follette might not agree to run as our candidate If these things were all accepted. Record eaid. Yells of "no, no," and "this is no time to talk about candidates," interrupted him. The there was a counter demonstration in favor of La Follette. Record read some of the plank agreed to by the f orty-eighters and the labor men, ing for recognition by the United States of Russian and Irish govern ments, and carried the demonstra tion further when the plank was read declaring for a referendum before j war, "except after an act of actual in vasion." L7 on Riches Applauded. When Record read the capital levy plank of the labor platform, providing for "graduated taxation upon fortunes over $25,000," there was a round of applause. There was laughter when he said that the forty-eighters had not "assented" to this' Record's report was Interrupted by a notification given to the conven tion that the labor party gathering had also decided for amalgamation. Arrangements were made immedi ately to parade in sightseeing auto mobile buses to the other convention. 'Immediate repeal of the Esch- Cummins transportation act," read by Record as another agreed plank, got cheers from the forty-eighters. Fred Chamberlain of Washington state, chairman of the 48 convention platform committee, followed Record. "Of the three things Mr. Record says we can't agree on," Chamberlain asserted, "our platform committee has already taken two. The third, the capital levy, I think we can swallow also." He retired amidst applause. , Fusion Convention Meets. The clamor of a brass band work ing at high pressure, the din of feet. voices and creaking chairs and the boom of the flashlights marked the assemblage of the fusion convention. They filled the hall to its farthest corners and the double set of state standards wavered up and down try ing to find a resting place. James Duncan, Seattle, laborite. held the gavel, but Parley P. Christ- ensen the forty-eighter chairman, re ceived a rising demonstration as he came on the platform. The band played "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here." wnen me Marsellaise was played, the delegates stood and yelled while it was played out. Three cheers for Debs and the working class," cried a voice from the gallery. The delegates gave them. More than an hour after the cession was due to convene the delegates were still on their feet cheering and singing. Tin Horns Keep Din Alive. Two brass bands and a small army of delegates armed with tin horns kept the din alive. In the few pauses there were cheers for La Follette, Debs and "the work ing class." Mr. Christensen eaid that out of New England had come two great forces and both still exist. The force," he said, "fostered by such men as Franklin is personified in you who sit here. The other power, the witch-burn ers, is typified in this late day by A. Mitchell Palmer. But he is not a whit worse, however, than all the hoard of scoundrels who surround him." Single-tax representatives put In minority platform plank and it creat ed a general turmoil. The plank was referred formally to the fusion con vention for decision. Wild Disorder Follows. Single-taxers did not take this ction as satisfactory, and the con vention passed into wild disorder for some minutes. Chairman Christen sen swung his gavel desperately but it was futile. A reconsideration of the action on the single-fax plank resulted from the mix-up. Both planks were finally referred to the joint convention and delegates streamed out of the hall without waiting to adjourn. Chairman Christensen, holding the gavel, insisted that the convention had not adjourned until a resolution providing for the retention of "au tonomy" by the committee of 48 was read.. "Were through, he then an- ounced to the half-empty hall, and he national convention of the com mittee of 48 passed out of existence. GREEKS ROUT- ITALIANS OFFICER KILLED, 30 HCRT, IN' CLASH NEAR EPHESUS. British Expected to Take Over Por tion of Anatolia., Greeks Hold ing Smyrna Section.. CONSTANTINOPLE, July 13. (By the Associated Press.) The Greeks suffered one officer killed and 30 other casualties near Ephesus recent ly when they entered the Italian zone to capture Turks who were sniping at Greek trains. The Italians objected and opened machine gun fire on the Greeks, who charged the Italians with fixed bayo nets and routed them. Italian protests to the high com missioners here against Greek pursuit of Turkish nationalists into the Ital- an zone have been disregarded. General Paraskevopoulos, Greek commander, is in Constantinople con ferring with Lieutenant-General Sir George Milne, commander of the al lied troops in western Asia Minor. The latest rumor is that the Bru sh will take over a portion of Ana tolia. Under this plan the Greeks would occupy the outside Smyrna dis trict and administer it as an autono mous country, thus providing' a bar rier between the Greeks and Turks.
