Support of single taxers and labor
party adherents behind a national
third party organized on the plan of
the committee of 48 marked the pre
liminary gatherings of delegates ar
riving in Chicago tonight to attend
the three conventions.
Success in the attempts, which par
ticularly involved the labor party
leaders and the committee of 48
members, was not claimed by any of
the participants in long conferences,
while spokesmen for the single tax
group took the opportunity to an
nounce their definite opposition to
Senator La Follette of Wisconsin as
a fusion presidential candidate. Other
differences revolved around platform
o uestions.
Amos L. Pinchot and George L
Record, who pent two days with
Senator La Follette in behalf of the
committee of 4S, reported to that body
today that the senator had not de
cided to accept a nomination if tend
ered him, but would decide Saturday.

A. M. tomorrow. Allen McCurdy of
Is'ew York, slated for temporary
chairman, will deliver a keynote
speech.

echeduled to begin Sunday, at a dif
ferent hall, though its partisans have
been actively associated with the
committee of 48. Differences develop
ing In the conferences today includ
ed one arising out of the railroad
situation, which some of the con
ferees were disposed to consider both
vital and irreconcilable.
Kfforts to secure indorsement of
the committee of 48 for a plank
favoring American aid toward Irish
independence will be continued de
spite the adverse result of a
mail vote, it was learned today.
Fiank P. Walsh, who participated in
the unsuccessful fight before the re
publican and democratic conventions,
is bringing it for presentation to the
convention Saturday of the committee
of 4S and the labor party.
A majority of the. 30,000 persons
voimg on the recent referendum reg
istered opposition to planks submitted
Oi; foreign relations, particularly the
Irifh, Itussian and Mexican questions,
l.a Follette Rejected.
The rejection by single taxers of
Senator La Follette as a presidential
cuididate may result in announce
ment of two presidential tickets. La
Follette led in the poll taken by mem
bers of the convention of 48 but single
taxers here for their meeting ex
pressed strong opposition.
Adoption of a platform of three
paragraphs. on which labor, non
partisans and sympathizers with the
"middle class" union can agree will
oe me iirst tasK oi tne convention.
The platform which will be used by
the resolutions committee as a basis
lor its work is one adopted by the
committee of 48 last December, when
it held the first convention of the
new party in St. Louis. It advocates
public ownership of transportation
facilities and certain, other public util
ities, taxation to force idle land into
use and the abolition of special priv
ilege. Labor to Prenent Platform.
"It is our hope that labor, including
farmers and other divisions of the la
boring classes, will find in the new
party's platform a common sense ideal
v hich they can support whole-heartedly
at the polls," said J. A. H. Hop
kins, chairman of the committee of
.48, who has had charge of the or
ganization work which resulted in the
calling of the convention.
"The full success of what we are
trying to accomplish would include
our getting the support of organized
labor, sympathizers of the single tax,
the Non-Partisan league and the bulk
of the Independent voters of the
country who are dissatisfied with the
evasion of responsibility which the
Ilcpublican and Democratic parties
have revealed in their platforms.
Coalition la Aim.
"Our delegates from every state in
the union include representatives of
these parties, who see their oppor
tunity to form a coalition strong
enough to insure defeat for both old
parties next November and the elec
tion of president and vice president
chosen by the people themselves on
a platform that undertakes nothing
but the courageous meeting of issues
which confront America today. We
are making no attempt to solve the
difficulties of the world at large and
our plain, honcst-to-goodness aims
will be set forth in the .jlatform we
adopt so clearly that every citizen
can understand the principles of
votes to support."
Mr. Hopkins would make no pre
diction as to the probable nominees
for president and vice president. He
called attention to returns from a
questionnaire sent out last spring.
Out of 2100 replies received, LaB'ol
lette had the greatest number of first
choices for president with 324, Hoover

President of Hairier and Brothers
Wins Case Involving Cliarge of
Possessing Obscene Book.
NEW YORK, July 9. (Special.)
Clinton T. Brainard, secretary of the
extraordinary grand jury and presi
dent of the publishing firm of Harper
& Bros, no longer stands convicted
of the crime of "unlawfully possess
ing an obscene book, in violation of
section 1141 of the penal law."
The appellate division of the su
preme court. Presiding Justice John
Proctor Clarke and Justice Walter
I,loyd Smith. Alfred R. Page and
Samuel Greenbaum concurring in the
result, today reversed the conviction
of the defendants by the court of
special sessions and dismissed the
Information filed against them.
This information, filed by the So
ciety for the Suppression of Vice, of
which John S. Sumner is head, set
forth that the publishing concern
sold to one of the society agents a
copy of the autobiographical classic
"Madeleine." printed in English and
published under its auspices.
Mr. Brainard issued the following
statement:
"The decision of the court is, of
course, gratifying, but it is what we
had expected. As for Mr. Sumner he
acted within the limits of his own
intelligence. The other phase of this
incident, having to do with my .serv
ice on the' grand jury which investi
gated the city administration, is too
well known to need comment. A cer
tain group of newspapers was in
terested in having this case pushed
to the limit for reasons of its own, a
fact that was recognized by the
Author's league. I am glad that the
house of Harper, with its honorable
record of 103 years of eervice to
American letters, has not been made
to suffer from the circumstances."

Belgian Delegate at Seamen's Con
ference Sees Danger in De
signs of America.
GENOA, July 7. A vigorous at
tack against the American marine
policy was made by Emile Deckers,
Belgian shipowners' delegate at to
day's plenary session of the interna
tional seamen's conference. He
charged unfair methods on the part
of America, which, he declared, would
paralyze the work of -the caucus.
M. Deckers read a letter said to
have been sent to seamen of many
countries by Silas Blake Axtell of
New York, attorney for the Seamen's
Union of North America. This let
ter purported to be an appeal to
seamen to join the American mer
chant marine, offering both moral
and pecuniary inducements.
The speaker declared America de
sired to appear capable of giving a
millenium to the world, adding:
"Isn't it a preconceived plan to de
stroy the European merchant marine,
especially that of small countries like
mine? Shouldn't we do something
to protect ourselves against these
attempts from America?"
