CONVENTIO

DORSES THE 3RD PARTY Attempt To Oust Pres. Chas. Fox Made Hot Fights At Gathering INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE) EVANSVILJLE. INT., Aug. 28 Hammond, after a stiff fight, captured the 1321 state labor convention last nighty and great is the rejoicing among the Lake county delegates. After a stormy session yesterday the state convention of the Indiana Federation of Labor passed a resolution irdorsing the new Farmer-Labor party. Charlts Fox, state rresldnt. announced that the matter would be appealed to the executive committee ol the Amrican Federation of Labor. An attempt on the part of members of the Farroer-Labor party to force Charles Fox to resign as president of the Indiana Federation of Labor, which the conservatives say was part of a general plan to get control of the organization, failed yesterday afternoon at the annual convention in session here . The committee on resolutions reported a resolution demanding that Mr. Fox resign his office because he had h'en appointed to a political office, but the committee unanimously recommended that the resolution not be adapted. IOX5ERVATIVES GIVE VIEW S The conservatives said that the demand for the resignation of Mr. Fox -as made because it is known that he would not entertain a resolution to recognize and indorse the FarmerLabor party, and the scheme was to get Fox out cf the way and then attack the automatic appointment of T..N. Taylor, first vice-president, who would fill the unerpjred term of the retiring" president. By that means. It was said, it might be possible to set a presiding officer who would recognize the Farmer-Labor party indorsement resolution. The move toward getting an indorsement for the Farmer-Labor party was started on Thursday when the committee on laws received a resolution demanding the repeal of Section VI. Article III. of the Constituion. Art rle VI provides: 'Party policies of whatever nature s'.iall at no time enter Into the dis-cj?sl-n cf this organization in confict with the political propaganda or th American Federation of Labor, but there shall be no abridgement or th rights of any delegate to voice his sentiments, subject always to the (Continued on paga five.

3 ARRESTED

FOR DUNE PARK

N. I C. THEFT Three men are bmng held by the Hammond" police, charged with complicity in the robbery of a New York Central freight train n-iir IXine Tark Station recently in which thousands of dollar of woolen cto'h was tak-n from a car. The men arrested yesterday are G. W. Kerry and F. J. Berry. 2 US Coyne street, Chicago, and Joe Collins, proprietor of a rooming house at 71 Plunimer avenue, Hammond. They will probably be turned over t the federal authorities on charges of stealing from j interstate shipments. Collins is booked as receiving stolen property. The place where the theft occurred is a desolate spot where New York Central trains stop for water. It iilTords in ' ideal opportunity for oar thieves. Hammond police and railroad detective had been working quietly on the case for! some time. Finally part of the loot, a number of bolls of cloth for men's and women's suits was found in the Oillir.s ! rlace on Pluinmer avenue. Jtlis arrest I resulted in the apprehension of the! Berry brothers. j Yesterday Chief Austgen and Officer Stngr took Collins to th- scene of the robbery and four more bolts of cloth j were found hidden 1n the bushes.

INDIANAPOLIS TnD. Auc, 21 That Governor Coi, deroi vtic presidential nominee, is rapidly talking himself out ef the running In the presidential race is the opinion of republican leaders here. The democratic candidate's unsupported charges concerning the republican national campaign fund are believed already to be acting as a boomerang. E. M. Wasmuth, republican state chairman, and United States Senator Harry S. New, who were in Indianapolls Immediately following the Pittsburgh address of Gov. Cox, vehemently denounced the attempts of the democratic candidate to give out "phony' repcrts cf campaign quotas which were alleged to be raised in Indiana. The books of the republican state committee are pen to inspection at any time and will show that the amounts alleged as being collected for the campaign fund in this state are ridiculous. The state leaders are not concerning themselves with the charges against other localities the stinging rebukes to Gov. Cox already made by Will H. Hays, the republican national chairman, sufficing for the national situation . Gov. Cox. the leaders declare, ahs put himself in the position of the boy who cried "wolf." If the democratic candidate continues to attempt to mislead the people in this manner. th leaders believe that he is only adding to the republican majorities throughout the country. The reason for the democratic attempt to attack the republican campaign fund ia assigned here an an effort to becloud the real issues of the campaign. Knowing that the people are determined to end the saturnalia of democratic extravagance which has been "personally conducted" in Washington by President Wilson. Governor Cox is attempting to divert the campaign to a discussion of his unfounded charges that the "republicans are attempting to buy the presidency." The Republican leaders are ln erni Inod that in Indiana there shall be no successful attempt to mislead the oters concerning the real issues of the campaign. The complete acceptance hy Cox of the un-American Wilson league of nations and the endorsement of the Wilson administration in all its many forms of v iciousness will be kept constantly before the electorate.

Cox. democratic presidential nominee, left New Haven for New York, early this morning prepared to set forth in his speech at Sheepshead Bay this afternoon his conception of what constitutes American citizenship. "Ther are many people in the C S. whose names gave them disagreeable experiences during the war," said Gov. Cox. "The name means nothing. Blood means nothinc,. The real tefl of American citizenhip is service to the flag." Though Gov. Cox disclaims any Intention of 'angling for the GermanAmerican ote," he take? the ftand that many families of German cxtiacticn which were entirely loyal to America during' the war, were subjected to discour! f?y and even Insult because of the general odiu m which attached to all things German. He contends that if German-American youths were good enough to draft, they are pood enough to vote and he intends to let them know that the vote ol every law-abidinc. patriotic citizen '3 acceptable to his party.
