they could agree, but all of them were
osmewhat hazy on how it was to be
done.
Agreement Predicted.
Senator Watson of Indiana, head of
the sub-committee, maintained that in
the end the Indiana plank with some
modifications, would get ihe support
of all republican elements. Senators
Borah of Idaho and McCormick of
Illinois thought there would have to
be material modifications to pacify the
irreconcilables. The mild reservation
group also wanted changes made but
in the opposite direction.
Bolstering the predictions of an
agreement, however, was a feeling in

Labor Puts
Demands to
Convention
Chicago. June S. Vigorous oppeai
tion to federal legislation similar to
the Kansas industril court measure, io
unrestricted immigration and to the
use of injunction proceedings in
strikes was contained in a set of "de
mands" which Samuel Gompers and
Matthew A. Well of the American
Federation of Labor, submitted today
to the resolutions committee of the
republican national convention.
"Legislation which proposes to make
strikes unlawful or to compel the wnge
earners to submit their grievances oi
aspirations to courts or to government
al agencies, is an invasion of the rights
or the wage earners and when en
forced makes for industrial serfdom
and slavery," the statement said re
garding the Kansas law.
La Support Pleileed.
Labor pledged itself, it added, to up
hold the federat - law ' protecting its
rights against "unwarrantable issuance
of writs of injunction, either prohibi
tory or mandatory."
"It is essential," continued the state
ment, "that additional legislation reg
ulating Immigration should be enacted
based on two fundamental principles,
namely that the flow of immigration
must not at any time exceed the na
tion's ability to assimilate and Amer
icanize foreigners coming to our shores
and that at no time, shall immigration
be permitted when there exists an ap
preciable degre of unemployment," , ,
Other demands included: '
Changes Demanded.
Immediate relief from high cost of
living burdens; extension of the farm
loan act to give credit to all properly
organized co-operatives and individual
farmers; issuance of a monthly state
ment by the department of labor on
the cost of manufacture of staple arti
cles; prompt federal Investigation of
profits and prices and the making ac
cessible of all Income and other tax re
tturns; observance, enforcement and
extension of the federal maximum
eight hour aw in all civil departments
of the government; revision of the
federal compensation law to care for
those not reached by state laws as well
as sufferers from Industrial accidents
and occupational diseases; exclusion
from Interstate commerce of products
of convict labor; repeal of the labor
provisions of the Esch-Cummins law;
direct election of federal judges by the
people for terms not exceeding six
jears and action to present federal leg
islation being held unconstitutional.
The statement also declares agawisr
the use of force by the United States
in Mexico to compel Mexicans to meet
the demands of persons who purpose
to "exploit Mexico's resources."

Before
' Coliseum, Chciago, June 9. The republican national con
vention assembled for its second session today with little more
than routine in prospect. A brief session to perfect the perman
ent organization was forecast
During the first hour
before the
opening the convention hall was given
over to the usual entertainment pre
liminaries. The big band up In the
balcony blared popular airs, a male
quarette took a turn at a little jaxxl
and a talking machine was attached to i
the electric amplifiers which have
been installed to carry the voices of
the speakers to the farthereat galleries.
Delegates and alternates were slow
in arriving.
The "drift .to Lowden" and the
"growing strength of Wood" and the
"turn ot the delegates to Johnson"
which one heard so much talked about
downtown were little In evidence in
the convention hall. The delegates
who arrived early seemed to be talking
anything but politics.
Sproul Karljr Bird.
Governor Sproul was up early today
and resumed conferences with party
leaders after a series of meetings with
delegates from different parts ot the
country last night.
The special telegraph wires from
Pennsylvania headquarter to Senator
Penrose's home In Philadelphia con
tinues to carry the doings of the party
leaders here to the Pennsylvania sen
ator.
At It o'clock, the opening time, the
convention hall was not half full, It
looked as If the convention would get
away at least a half hour late as it
did yesterday. The principal candidate
managers knowing that today's pro
ceedings were largely perfunctory were
In no hurfy In coming. Many of the Im
portant figures of the convention, too,
were engaged Id the work of the reso
lutions committee framing the plat
form. At 11:15 Chairman Lodge arrived
on the platform with Chairman Hays.
A song leader tried to got the audien
ce to sing the "Long, Long Trail" but
had a hard time getting out the voices.
Urports Arq Accepted.
Chairman Lodge stepped out to the
speaker's space at 11:S amy he 'got
three cheers aleo'wlth a tiger.
John Timothy Stone was today's
chaplain. The convention stood while
he offered prayer.
A stout oak table was brought In
for Chairman Lodge to whack his gav
el on. He called for the report of the
credentials committee. Chairman Duf
fleld of New Jersey cam to the plat
form to present It. '
The report recommended changes
decided upon at last nights meeting of
the committee, Mr. Duf field moved the
adoption of the report. Robert R.
Church of Memphis, who had been un
seated by the credentials committee,
said he would not ask the convention
to eonrlder a minority report
"I know I am entitled to alt," said
Church, "but I shall take m tight back
to Tennessee."
Orgnnl7.ntbn Completed.
The report of the credentials com
mittee was adopted without dissent
and the convention next heard the re
port from the committee on perma
nent organization. It was presented
by Governor Morrow of Kontucky, Its
chairman. As agreed upon ll recom
mended that the temporary organiza
tion be made permanent. The conven
tion liked the idea of saving time and
escaping another keynote speech and
adopted the motidn with cheers. Sen
ator Lodge got another demonstration
when he stepped forward, this time
as permanent chairman of the conven
tion. "The best way to show mr gratitude
to the convention for IU action," said
Senator Lodge, will be to tell you there
will be no speech by the permanent
chairman."
