Chicago.—The conference for pro­ gressive political action gave up the ghost here Saturday night. Its meet­ ing was adjourned without action ot any sort on the formation ot a new- party and was followed an hour later by u meeting composed ot delegates to the old body, but minus representa­ tion from the 16 affiliated railroad unions and brotherhoods. The second meeting was summoned to devise plans for launching the new party and proceeded to do so. . The passing of the old body, which began as the successor to the Roose­ velt "bull moose” movement and wound up as backer of Senator La Fol­ lette's presidential campaign last year, resulted from refusal of the delegates from the national socialist party, the committee ot 48, and the various state organizations formed as part ot the La Follette campaign, to follow the rail unionisin advocating perpetuation ot the committee tor progressive poli­ tical action as “a non-partisan political organization.” No sooner bad the convention or­ ganized than L. E. Sheppard ot Cedar Rapids. la., president of the Order of Railway Conductors, presented on be­ half ot his brethren in arms a reso­ lution declaring the time not ripe for the formation of a new party. There followed an amendment from Morris Hillquith, New York socialist, declaring the opposite view and of­ fering a plan for organization ot the "American labor party,” based upon group and geographical lines and to be consummated at a convention next October. Next erne J. H. Hopkins of New York representing a commit­ tee ot 48 men, with a proposal which had the indorsement of Robert M. La Follette Jr., that a progressive party be organized on strictly geographical lines, with group representation eliminated. He said he spoke for progressive party organizations In Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, New Jer­ sey, New York, Delaware, Arizona. Florida, Georgia and North Carolina and for the United American War Vet­ erans. Numerous delegates Joined ia» the debate. The brotherhoods were al­ ternately assailed and defended. The socialists were criticised, sometimes by innuendo and again directly, for al­ leged failure to contribute their fair share of money to the 1924 campaign, and the convention itself was denounc­ ed by the brotherhood men because the delegates had failed earlier in the day to provide means tor liquidating more than half of a $5300 deficit which faced the conference. , Congress’ Pay Rise Is Up to President. Washington, D. C.—Salary increases for members ot congress and the presi­ dent’s cabinet were put up to the ex ecutive Saturday, with adoption by the house of a senate amendment to the legislative appropriation bill.
