ThIRD PARTY AMALGAMATION DRAWING NEAR

Members Hold Demonstration Sunday Give Cheers for Soviet Russia. Bx- Associated Prcs: CKTCAGO, July 11. Anvilpamamation cf the minority political movements under the Lanr.er of .a third party drew a step nearer Sunday when the labor party of the United States opened its .second national convention with representatives of many other organizations present. The committee of forty eight and the Single Tax conventions were in recess over Sunday, but attended the labor convention in force. John Fitzpatritk, president of th. Chicago 1-eeleration of Labor, ;t keynote speaker, brought the convention te the highest enthusiasm with a plea, ' that the day would come when the working people of the United States would get together ami do a Jol such as the xvorkcra eji Icusia have done." Big Jiiioim ration The biggest demonstration of the day was accorded this reference Delegates stamped and whlstleei, and xv lien one calleel for "three cheers for soviet Russia" they were given. Fitzp'atrick declared there was nothing to prevent the "hand and brain workers ' taking the government out of the hands of, not Americans, but international financial pirate's and advised all the minority groups te unite on one ticket.' In opening the convention Max Hays, chairman of the labor partv's national committee, declared that "(vtry political k'roup ;usemblcd 'n this city agrees in substance to the platform which the labor party had lormulated last November. This stau me-nt brought fc-rth prolonged applause in which delegates wearing budges of the Single Taxers, forty ighters and other elements attending the convention joined. XoYcmlKT I'latform Th -Novtmbe-r labor- Via" tTorfh G t -clarcel for nationalization of all essential industries, abolition of the United States senate and of injunction pe.wer ef judges in labor disputes, declared for the, plumb plan, steep income ta,xes, world wide- disarmament, a national budget and limitation of "United States supreme court's power to veto legislation." Tho convention responded to the suggestions of Kittpatrick and Hays I y naming a committee of twelve to confer with a similar group from the committee of forty eight in ar. effort to develop a common ground on which all could meet. This conference was intended to iron out de tails that proved stumbling blocks te- amalgamation. Throughout the discussion on combining the strength of the minority groups there appeared a trend of optimism. Speakers argued that by such action they were presenting 'a soliel front "against a ceunmon enemy." As a name for the new party, "Farmer-Rtbor" was suggested. Us eonsielci ation, however, was petitponeel. The thunder f footstampin; and chee-ring punctuated the Kitzpatrick adelre-ss. His speech lost all re-pies-sion in its references to Russia and Ireland and to the republican and eleimx ratic parties. Kollows Routine "For years and years labor has f 'lowed the reut;ne of appealing to existing political parties," Kitzpalritk said. "We have uone to them x ithout programs, making no different whether the democratic t republican party was in power ami have come axx ay with our promise's, only to see those promises broken and shattered. ' Se nw we are thremgh. We have cotton our own people together. We' have tried to say, if words hav meaning, that this program of ours was big and broad enough for every man and woman who does useful xxe.ik xvith band or brain to stand upon, though bi business pecvcrte-el our statement in an attempt to showit is wholly a proposition for or-an-f d l.-bor.

Stephens, of Bristol. Kngland, was killed Sunday, xx-hen he went over the Horseshoe falls in a barrel. The cask in which he made the trip though built of stout Russian oak staves and bounel with steel hoops, was smashed like an egg shell on the jagged rocks at the base of the cataract. Pieces of the barrel were ricked up near the bank on the Canadian side, but Stephen' body was not recovered. Itivermen say that it may not come tei the surface for a week or ten days. Stephens was 58 years old and has a wife and 11 children in Pristol. where tie was si barber. He served three years in France with the British army. He had planned to make a lecture tour of Kngland if his trip was successful. Issues Warning. Pebby Leach, who went over the Jlorüpho? falls in 1911. told Stephen that the barrel wouhl not withstand the drop of 1 5 S feet, but Stephens refused to be dissuaded from the venture. Leach was among the spectators who watched the start of Stephens' fatal trip. Members of Stephens' party followeel tho cask down stream in automobile. In one of the cars a moving picture operator filmed the progress of the barrel. As the barrel drew near the brink of the falls it seemed to stand on end, hesitate a second or two, and then sliele gracefully over the slope, head foremost and at a slight angle. Its gleaming black and white stripes could he seen until it had fallen abeiut half way down the face of the catarac t, then it was bst to view in the misty spray. No Sign of Cask. A quarter of an hour passed, then an ha"lf hour ami an hour. Kield glasses traineel on the boiling waters at the base of the cataract revealed no sign of the- cask. When the hour had passed, the- obi rivermen In the little group ef watchers began to shake their heals dubiously. They remembe-reel that Mrs. Annie Kdson Taylor had made the trip in 4 3 minutes and that Hobby Leae h was on his way to the loop of the bank in 3'J minutes after his barrel had been set adrift above the falls. The barrel designed by Stephens for the trip was six feet, three inches high. it had strap arrangements inside anel an eb-ctric light system. Stephens is the third to attempt the barrel trip over the falls. Mrs. Annie Kdson Taylor event e.ver in October, 1901. in an oak barrel, and Hobby Leach made the trip in duly. 1911. in a steel barrel. Both are still living.
