Chicago, July 15. Parlor Social
ists have met ,tho real- Bolshevist at
third party convention here, and will
probably go home sadder but wiser
men. : -
For the Committee of Forty-etght
was largely a group of progressive,
called radicals and Bolshevists by .their
conservative friends, but really- con
servatives themselves wheb ranged
alongside the farmer and labor. groups
iwJth their extreme demands and errant
philosophy. !;-:''''
But the reader , must understand at
the outset that by the terms -i -farmer"
and "labor," as used in the Third party
convention." a small minority of agricul
tural workers and a small minority of
tollers- in factories and" railroads ;ls
meant.' . i'..
RVEX LEAGCEBS WABT i;
., 1 So radical and Bolshevistic are the
alma of the so-called farmer and. labor
groups gathered here that ievn the
much condemned Non-partisan league
of North Dakota farmers has; hesitated
to get behind the farmer groups whole
heartedly and Join in the orgyi of agita
tion and destruction which the platform
of the majority of the committee repre
senting the so-called Farmer and Labor
alliance aaked the Third party to adopt.
Even Robert M. La Follette.! regarded
as the radical of radicals in the United
States senate, declined to run on the
extremist platform., !,
The truth of the matter Is, that the
extremists plainly asked for the nearest
approach to Bolshevism that. has been
suggested in a party convention or po
litical gathering of equal Importance.
GATHEBI3Q OF BADICALS;
And they went a step further in gathr
ering to their bosoms most all the mal
contents in America, including the peo
ple who in one breath denounce the
League of Nations as an entangling
alliance and a provoker of wars and
who in the next breath would risk war
between the United States and Great
Britain, unless recognition of (the Irish
republic is grantea oy Doin,; ana. ui-
people wno want 10 ur ups ,
problems of America anew by granting
social as well as political rignts to ne
groes, and to those who Want to affiliate
with the revolutionists of India and
Egypt and enter into a hearty kinship
with Soviet Russia. I i
Every mention of the j Russian soviet
was cheered and every reference to imi
tating what the workers had done in
Russia was applauded. It a gather
ing of agitators from all parts of the
United States, including men who start
ed the outlaw strike on the railroads
a few months ago and the men who
have been threatening to overthrow
Samuel Oomnera and the conservative
leaders of organised labor as a part of
their program of chaos and revolution.
GIVES VEST TO FEELINGS .
Small wonder that Oompeni has had
trouble repressing radicals in the ranks
of labor. And if the minority had a
sincere purpose in trying to get posses-;
ion of the labor organisations through
out the country, it might be different
story, but the writer waa : assured by :
members of tha Committee of 48 that 1
this convention was indeed a revelation
to them and that many of the leaders
of the labor groups here ware merely
playing a game of labor politics in
tended to help them gain the big offices
in organized labor for themselves elm
ply a case of personal ambition which
Is so much derided when individuals
give vent to similar human aspirations
in the Republican and Democratic par
ties. - . j
It waa a good thing all the extremists
In America were gathered together in
a single room, or at leaBt representatives
Cf every extremist faction, for the whole
thing was like a safety valve. ItVwas
well to allow all the steam to blow off
HEROIC BUT FUTILE ; i
- The extreme radicals revealed their
own hypocrisies. - They refused even a
courteous hearing to the progressives
and liberals who tried to furnish political
sense to the, Third party program and
'guide it along rational lines; in a way
that, it was contended by George Li.
Record of New Jersey, for instance,
would convert millions of citizens who
might otherwise close their (minds and
refuse even to listen to the Third party
argument. The progressives ; like Amos
Finchot and Record argued that as a
matter of political expediency it waa not
wise to go too far the first year.
But the word "expediency? waa like
waving a red flag in front! of a bull.
Speaker after speaker, from the ranks of
labor, rose and shouted that as between
expediency and principle they preferred
principle no matter where it led them, a
splendid manifestation of fighting spirit.
but as valuable in a political meeting
as it would be at the battle; line if the
troops refused to retreat when a com
mander advised it for strategic reasons
or as a maneuver toward ultimate vic
tory. , i
BEST FREE SPEECH - j
The labor group said plainly , they
did'nt. even care whether La Follette
accepted the nomination, though most of
them must have realized he was tlr
best champion on the stump and their
best vote getter. They would insist,
they said, on making a platform first
and then getting a candidate; who would
run on it. They were ready to de
nounce La Follette as out of sympathy
w ith the aspirations of the j party, and
they did indeed shout down several
speakers, although one of the planka
of the platform referred la emphatic
terms to free speech. 3
Time and again the chairman of the
convention had to intercede with 'the
audience to permit an individual to speak
who had been given the floor in ac
cordance with the rules of procedure
. Cries of "sit down" and throw him out."

THEY OFFER HO PAT
All the passion of the mob, all the
misguided energy of some sincere re
formers and progressives, all the men
acing theories . revolutionists were let
loose here without interference by fed
eral or state police and as a consequence
the Bolshevikl have shot their bolt and
no one need fear that they will here
after get even the' comfort they have
been getting at the hands of the Intellec
tual socialists.
The radicals demanded not merely
democratic control of all industry and a
share in the management of enterprises
but they demanded government owner
ship and operation of all public utilities
as well as natural resources. ;
They never said a word about com
pensation for those mines, stock yards,
oil . wells, etc, which would be taken
over by the government from their law
ful owners.- v .
LOTEBS OF OBDES SHOCKED -
-Nor- did they - suggest ' whereby the
millions of citizens- whose money is in
vested in natural resources were to get
compensation and thus prevent panic
and misery to the whole country on
such economical ; upheavals. They de
manded government ownership of most
everything and the workers' manage
ment - of most everything and offered
soviet Russia a concrete example of their
alms. , . .
Small wonder some' of the members
of the Committee of Forty-eight re
luctantly but indignantly v admitted that
they had encountered the read Bolshevist
and drew away from them with the
same' disdain that their conservative
brethren have felt for such radicalism in
the pas UT It was an hour of disillusion
ment for patriotic orderloving progres
sives and a repetition of what always
has happened -when liberals 'try to ac
complish reforms through extremists and
noise-making agitators. The extremists
killed what might have been a moderate
program of liberalism- In a campaign
containing no small burden of studied
conservation and a vowed reaction.

tribute to the efficiency of the carriers
in their present difficult' situation.
"I am free to admit that I can see no
way to avoId a very, considerable increase
n rates, neither can I see how it can
fail to give another very decided twist
V the constantly ascending spiral of in
creased cost of living," said Teal. "Under
the facts, an increase in railroad rates
is inevitable If they are to be main
tained and operated out of earnings and
not out of the public treasury.
"Without the support of : the public
and without the hardest kind of intel
ligent work on the part of the railroad
executives, private operation cannot suc
ceed, and I think it is a perfectly fair
statement to say that at .this time pri
vate operation is now on trial.
"When great and established railway
syntems with Increased earnings are
running short by many millions of enough
to even pay interest on their bonds, it is
ume ior people to pause and give heed
to the situation they are facing. That
rates must be increased is conceded, but
this In Itself is far from a remedy. The
public will pay a fair and just price for
transportation, but ; in return will de
mand efficiency, ; economy and . good
service.' Deficits cannot forever be made
up by constant Increases in rates. There
is an end to all things and the ascent of
the spiral of Increasing costs must also
end. .. v i
PUBLIC IS APPREHENSIVE
"It is not pleasant-to rehearse these
facts, but it is putting It mildly to say
there Is more apprehension in the public
roma today as to the outcome ef the rail
roads than there was on March 1. 1920.
Beyond any question, the future of rail
way operation is hanging in the balance.
If is the plain duty of every citizen to
try and make the operation of the law
a success. The outcome does not rest
with the commission, nor, as some im
agine, will the commission be held re
sponsible for the final result. The direct
responsibility rests upon those in charge
of the properties. ) There is also a re
sponsibility resting upon the public."
RISE DECLARED NECESSARY -Tea!
said the basis of the railroads'
demand for increased rates was that
railroad investments must be made at
tractive. The Eastern group of rail
roads asked Increases On the basis, of
30 per cent, the Southern group in
round numbers 31 per cent, andThe
western group in round numbers 24
per cent The increases were declared
necessary in order to , return by. to
per -cent on the value of railroad prop
erty. Teal did not agree with flat per
centage Increases f that will throw the
whole scheme of ratemaking out of kil
ter and destroy the competitive market
relation of products from various parts
of the country. ; Business should be
disturbed by rate' increases as little as
possible, he said.;
Arthur H. Devers advocated ener
getic preparation to make use of both
river and' ocean-' transportation' as an
offset to burdensome rail rates. George
Lawrence, president of the Portland
Traffic and Transportation association,
reminded the Chamber of Commerce
that the organization Is at the service
of the chamber in rate matters. L. K.

was well above the assessed valuation,
plus one third, the basis decided upon
for purchasing vacant property for rec

which was to leave at 8 a. m. but r.idn't.
On the way down I borrowed a paper off

looked like they had been destroyed the
night before. Out there they separated
the goats from the sheep, putting us
guys on the destroyer Semmes while the
sheep, namely the P-M newspapermen
was herded onto the Goldberg. On the
way to the race track, we past J. P.

By that time the grounds was really

REGARDS RESULT
HOLLOW VICTORY
. By Jack" Veiock
New York, July 16. (I.'n. S.)
Th victory of Shamrock IV in the
first race against the Resolute ; was
a rather hollow affair. Sir Thomas,
the genial Irish baronet, look at it
that way today, and whilo tha crew
of the challenger is sphinx-like, they
realize that they have their work cut
out for .them if they are to continue
winning. vx
"I had"" " much rather not accept vic
tory ' due to an .accident, said Lipton.
"I would willingly agree not to count
the race if they want it thatjWay." -
SUch is the sportsmanship of tha vet
eran yachtsman from . Ireland. The
race, -however, , is already "counted."
The rules which govern the international
contest are plain. Resolute was beaten
because she was unable to continue the
race after turning the 15-mile mark and
she acknowledged defeat when she sig
nalled. for a tow.
The outcome of the initial contest had
little , influence on the betting, such as
it has been. Resolute is still as good
as an even money proposition and many
believe ehe will - succeed in defending
the cup. ' - ' ; . .
SimiXKXN G OF MANILA ROPE
IS BLAMED FOR ACCIDENT
Highlands, N. J., July 16. (L N. S.)
The accident that cansed the smashing
of the Resolute's halyards in the first
race for the America's cup was probably
brought about by . the shrinking of the
marJla rope under the constant wetting
the weather afforded.
FAST TO CONNOLLY
(Con tinned Prom Pe One)
Jibe over and heai down the Jersey
coast for the 15 mile outer mark, there
was the Shamrock: less than a quarter
mile to the good. ; The Resolute must
have done a little tack splitting while
hid away and found something better
than the other In the way of free air.
EYEBYTHIXG JUMBLED UP
Down the coast they went with little
to choose between them, except that the
Resolute seemed to be eating into the
wind in better shape than the other.
More squalls or rather, they were gusts
of rain and drizzle during which about
all we could see from our destroyer was
the edge of the Shamrock's great main
sail. Throughout all this time the ex
cursion fleet and patrols were spread
across the racers wakes like a huge,
disordered convoy, smudging an already
dark enough sky low clouds, rather
with up-rolling columns of dirty black
smoke. ,-
It did not rise very high, though, for
everything in the air seemed to want to
hug the earth the clouds, the flying
boats, both these last coming whirring
down close over "our heads, as if they
wanted to identify people aboard.' In
among the big steamers would be the
little fellows, emitting indignant little
whistles if they felt themselves crowded.
It looked like a fine Jam at times from
our deck, with the sailing craft having a
good time to escape being squeezed or
run into. ; .:.;. , r
KES0LCTE SEEPS AHEAD
Down the coast they went with the
Resolute having steadily the better of
it. . She could - not sail any faster. I
doubt if at any time she was slipping
through the water any faster than the
Shemrock, and at times I felt certain
that she was not' moving quite as fast.
But she did hold on to her windward
gauge.
It had been a sort of mixed weather

Oh joy! The wind picked up and the

was a fine little breath of air, nothing to
excite a sea-going craft, but the Reso

the throat of her big sail sag. She kept
on going, though, and around the mark
she went, with the whistles of such

clearly giving her grand encouragement.
But the l!g sail was sagging, sagging.
And then we saw the gaff come tum

And then it was all aver. She did not
stop dead, but she might as well. have.
We saw the sail being lowered and a

foot of the mainmast as if they were
holding funeral services over something.

wing if there ever was one, and as ehe
lay there the Shamrock went on by. The
Shamrock kept on going, to a slightly

she could sail on that home leg. In less
than one hour and a half she ran" the 15
miles in the light breeze. Slightly better
than 10 knots, that is. and as she crossed
the line she got a. great, great greeting

I doubt if the Resolute would have
