The allied ministers, it appears, are not very favorably impressed by the German reparations plan. The pre vailing view, the correspondent was informed, was that the plan was somewhat indefinite on the essential financial points. Germans Have Plan It is understood that the German delegates have in reserve another plan, or amendment, of much great er Importance than the plan submit ted yesterday. Th?e plan now before the conference is considered a sub stitute for the original plan which the Germans are withholding, being unwilling to disclose the original proposition because they were not given satisfaction on the coal ques tion. It seems even possible that the trouble over the coal question may result In the prolongation of the conference. Gas Shortage Threatening to Fruit Industry Stricter conservation of gasoline by pleasure car drivers in and around Sa. lem must be practiced and first con sideration given to trucks or the berry industry In this section of the valley will be dealt a severe blow. Such is the claim of local oil com pany officials who are working day and night to supply gasoline to the ve hicles engaged in hauling the berry crops from farm to canning and pack ing plant. With the trucking business in creased 200 per cent in the paet 30 days and the visible supply of gasoline lower than at any time during the cur rent shortage, the oil company men state that every available ounce of gasoline possible must be diverted U the trucks, or it will be impossible for berry growers to get their crops to market. It is claimed that the gasoline sup ply for the Salem district Is shorter this month than ever before. During June, the first month of the short age, 206,000 gallons were distributed by the oil companies in Salem, and It is estimated that the available supply for July will not be over 160,000 gal $26,000 Barn Fire Here Laid to Lunatic.

Germany can fulfill future engagement nnlv if they are based on her financial ca pacity, said a statement outlining the Berlin government's plan for reparations submitted to - the allied premiers here tonight. The German budget must balance, the statement Insisted, or there would be a rapid increase In the floating debt and eon sequent inflation that would neutral ize her capacity to pay. Assuming that Germany's ability to pay is used as a basis, the statement asked that reparation obligations be expressed in annuities the minimum of which would be fixed, and the ob ligation to pay such annuities limit ed to thirty years. Request also was made that the allies fix the maximum sum due for reparation, after payment of which Germany would be free from any ob ligations. ' '.: Allies Must Help ,: . As the" economic development " of the next thirty years cannot be fore- tow, the statement asserted a Dlan must be worked out by which allied governments Would participate In the improvement of financial .and eco nomic conditions in Germany. Experts from allied nations and Germany should meet as soon as pos sible, the statement said, to fix the amounts of the annuities to be paid and to pass on the securities- to- be demanded. Germany's sovereignty in Ot 1 . it . . . I iuuuuii maiiers must not De miring ed upon in decisions regarding this feature of- adjusting reparation pay ments. These experts should also fix the maximum, sum to be paid to the allies by Germany. Material which Germany Is to de liver to the allies under the peace treaty for reconstruction of devastat ed regions should be specified by the reparation commission, the state ment declared and Its value should be credited to Germany.

Preparatory to going into seclusion to complete his speech accepting-the republican presi dential nomination. Senator Harding faced a busy day today with a number of engagements scheduled. His first conference was with Senator Cummins of Iowa, chairman of the interstate commerce committee, who reached Marion last night, with whom he dis cussed the political situation and rail road problems. Three other engagements included one with Raymond Robins of Chicago, former head of the Red Cross mission to Russia. - Owing to the short time elapsing be fore his notification on July 22, Sen ator Harding plans to seclude him self beginning tomorrow, from all vis itors until he can complete his speecB. In making the announcement the sen ator served notice on the newspaper Straw Ballot Is Victory for Cox Governor James M. Cox. the demo cratic nominee for president, was the choice of 47 out of 83 voters aboard the train between Newport and Albany In a straw ballot taken Saturday by W. H. Downing, delegate to the San Francisco convention, on his way hoim to Salem. Mr. Downing spent two days at Newport on his way north from the convention. The result of the straw ballot gave Coi 47 and Harding 36. Sixteen peo ple aboard the train refused to vote. "I think the democratic party has nominated the strongest ticket possi ble," said Mr. Downing in comment ing on he convention, "and that they will carry the election in November. Manv easterners with whom I talked are of the opinion that Governor Cox Cox Returns to Columbus Today Columbus.

En route to Columbus this morning, the governor rode in a day coach and a number of the passengers recognized and congratulated him.

Amalgamation of the labor party of the United States and the committee of 48 in a new political movement with a sin gle party name ,one platform, and one presidential ticket are inoluded in the recommendations submitted to the labor party and forty eight con ventions when they reconvened to day. Senator Robert M. LaFollette, ' of Wisconsin, remained the most talked of candidate for presidential nomi nee. The terms of the proposed com bine are. understood by the party lead ers to meet his views as expressed last week to Amos Pinchot and Geo. L. Record, of the forty eighters. v Separate Sessions Planned Conference committees appointed yesterday by the labor convention and Saturday by. the forty eighters smoothed out' most objections to amalgamation in a , protracted ses sion last night. ' :, ' The ' recommendations, if approved-today, . as the leaders confidently expect, mean that the two conven tions will preserve their separate Identity and continue to function In separate sessions, with .sub-committees reporting identical measures to each for discussion and action. LaFollette Strongest While other candidates will be placed in nomination in the labor conventipn and. probably in the forty eight meetingr too, Senator, jLaFpl lette s friends say both groups are ready to nominate him. . Frank P. Walsh, ' Kansas City; Charles H. Ingersoll, watch manu facturer, ahd Henry Ford have been mentioned for the nomination. Walsh is also being dlsoussed for Vice president. At the opening session of the la bor convention yesterday delegates from sixty trade union groups and other organizations were represent ed. The forty, eighters and single tax- ers, whose conventions opened Sat urday, had recessed for the day and practically their entire membership attended the labor convention, many participating as (active delegates., Prominent among those assuming a dual delegate roll, was James Dun can, one of the leaders of the gen eral strike in Seattle last year. Dun can on Saturday was ejected chair man of the Washington delegation to- the convention of the committee of forty eight and yesterday was chosen vice president of the labor convention. Bolshevism Gets Cheers . Every reference to Russia, and to Ireland, too, was applauded with a will, and when John Fitzpatrick, tho labor keynoter, praised the Russian revolution, three cheers for soviet Russia were called for and given. The applause for Ireland and the Sinn Fein appeared to be more a tribute to the Irish themselves than an expression of favor for an Irish freedom plank, for there is a strong undercurrent of opinion in both con ventions against Inserting any plat form planks dealing with foreign re lations. The forty eighters in their mail referendum have already gone on record as against platform planks on Irish, Russian and Mexican ques tions. Irish Get Hearing The republican and democratic con ventions , their platforms and their nominees, were assailed by nearly every speaker. John Fitzpatrick , denounced the platforms as "a denial of everything that the American people have de manded and spoken for." The committee of 48 platform com mittee granted a hearing to the four candidates of Irish freedom today. Sitting late last night, the commit tees in conference over the amalga mation proposals found the selec tion of a name for their new politic al party to be more than a minor problem. Combinations npon the word "labor" were in disfavor among the committee of 48 representatives. "The union party" was a title pre sented, but no decision was reached. Name Proposed. Amalgamation efofrts were carried further today under the direction of the committee of 48. A special sub committee headed by Mrs. Ina P. Wil- Transportation And H.C.L.
