This latter undertaking promises to be especially difficult as since the last national convention. of the party and during the war the “regular” organiza- tion has been torn by schism and i ternal dissesion and inability to agree on party principles, while the entire menibership in some states has been suspended and charters revoked. In the ¢ of Michigan and Massachus- ettes, however, it is said applications for reinstatement have been received, new charters issued, and the members zre returning to the party fold, but in Ohio, where the charter also was revoked, the leaders now are reorgan- iing their forces and the charter has not been asked as yet. : In addition to the Ohio loss, seven foreign language federations’ of the have broken with the old organ- jon and these, it was said at the 1 headquarters here, still are out. ‘he federations are the Russian, Ukrainian, Lithunian, South Slovac, Hungarian, Lettish and Polish and ure said to represent a- membership of alound 35,000 Socialists. Expect Full Membership ‘one of these revolts, however, will ect materially the membership of the convention, it is claimed, as the delega are elected on a basis of the membership of local organizations and the defection of one would merely add to the representation irom another. Latest discord is said to have grown cut of a referendum electiod of a na- ttonal committee, i: the present party admin leges frauds While the “left w “comunist” groups charge unfair count- in A_ special committee of 15, of which William J. Brandt of St. Louis is chairman, was appointed to investi- sate Charges of fraud made by Adolph Gormer, national secretary, and will report to the convention that opens day, In conection with the drafting of a platform, the prospects are that one of the main controver will revolve avoun the question of whether planks shall be included containing immediate demands for the improvement of work- ing conditions or declaring for “social revolution” without specific and im- mediate Sociuliste steps. Question of Affiliation Another queston will be whether American Socialists shall affiliate with the international Socialist movement aud, if so, what features the inter- untional moyement should embrace, It is expected, according to Secretary Germer, that the executive committee wiil recommend to the convention the calling of an international Socialist conference for the purpose of organiz- ing a ‘third jnternational” which would include the Majority Socialists of Germanw and all kindred organiza- tions because of their future, as claim- ea by the American party, to stand by the principles of Socialistie interna- tionalism during the war. It would ad- mit to participation, according to Mr. Germer, the Independencs and Spar- tecists of Germany. The convention is to continue in- definitely until the questions to be dis- poxed of have been handled, Tomorrow will be given over to organization work and. the naming of committees, all of which are elected by the delegates in- stead of being appointed.

Any country storekeeper will sell them, and any local postmaster will not only tell you where you can buy them, but will always co-operate in any way possible to help you make the best use of the mails.” Mr. Koons expects to see a big' jump in parcel post business as a re- sult of the sale of army food now tbe- ing held through the post. offices: of the country, which he thinks will give people a fuller realization of the sav- ings they can effect through the use of its machinery. 1 out of eight games played shortly after he took the job: of manager.
