AND WORLD LEAGUE FOUGHT OVER (Continued from page one.) |Ayres of Ki , Senator David R. Walsh of Massachusetts, former Senator Gilbert M. Hftchcock of Nebraska, Senator Pittman of Ne- vada, Newton D, Baker of Ohio, Senator Robert L. Owen of Okla- jhoma and Rep. Finis J. Barrett of |Tennessce were optimistic but not inclined before they went into ex- ecutive session to make definite pre- dicyiorG as to when they would |finish their task. | Long Hearings | The hearing of the full committee, which was begun shortly after ad- journment of the opening n of the convention yesterday after- noon, continued until 1 o'clock this morning with most of the oratory centering about the League of Na- tions and prohibition. A larg® number of other subjects were dis- cussed by spokesmen, however, and {the committee was warned by Harry B. Hawes of M uri a ulin Aitchele of Colorado that the fight for a specific denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan would be carried to the convention floor if the name of |the order should be left out of the |“civil and religious liberties plank” by the platform drafte: teemen from Ma Minnesota and Wi on record as urging mention of the Klan, and when opposing views were invited by the chair, including a call for imperial wizard Evans, no voice was raised against the pro- posal. What Women Want Among the riumerous _ topics brought before the committee, Mrs. Franklin D, Roosevelt, natiowal con: d- mittee woman from New York, vanced a fairly comprehensive sur- vey when she submitted a report on behalf of the women members who had been appointed to consider sug- gestions from women’s organiza- tions. g Making no recommendations she listed as the subjects in which” wo- men had, displayed ul inter- est, conservation, of Nations, the World Court, home economies cooperation by the feder- al government, tariff reduction, es- tablishment of a department of edu- cati tion of the rights of Indians, civil service reforms, equal rights, public and child welfare, social hygiene, prison reform, pro- tection of women in industry and law enforcement. * Other suggestions advanced during the hearing inclufled a plank, posed by William Jennings dealing with campaign contributions and expenditures, a declaration for Philippine Independence and pledges having to do with inergased pay for postal worker ps to combat the traffic in narcotic drugs at home and abroad, and suffrage for the District of Columbia. Farm Relief Varying views on farm relief were set forth by Carl Vrooman, former assistant secretary of the National Council of Cooperative Marketing Associations, and Benjamin C. Marsh, managing director of the Farmers National Council. Mr. Viooman and Rep. Aswell ad- vocated the proposal worked out by a group of western delegates for a pro- -| declaration fostering a cooperative marketing system without a govern- ment subsidy of agriculture in any form, and this was indorsed by Mr. Peteet. Mr. Marsh, on the other hand, spoke for creation of a government organization to buy farm products and sell them abroad, government ownership of railroads, tariff revi- sions, aid in carrying their debts and abolition of price-fixing organi- zations. Although no opponents of prohi- bition appeared before the commit- tee, its friends advanced’ conflicting views. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the anti-saloon league, Bishop James J, Cannon Jr. and others said they would be content with a simple law enforcement plank, but Oliver W. Stewart of the Flying Squadron Incorporated, ad- vocated a deglaration for rigid en- forgement of the eighteenth amend- ment of the Volstead act. Organized Labor Appears The requests of organized labor as represented by the Americau Federation of Labor were placed be- fore the drafting committee today by President Gompers and Secretary Morrison. These were the same as urged upon the recent Republican convention. Among the more impor- tant was insistence on repeal of the anti-trust’ laws, and the enact- ment of legislation legalizing econ- omie organizations; prohibition of court injunctions in industrial dis- _ ever,"the total may be paig at any time.

To Expedite Hearing To expedite the drafting of a platform, a coalating committee of three under the direction of Wil- am C, King of Utah set to work today to sift out the various planks offered at the public hearing of the platform committee and whip them intto shape for presentation to the mmittee for their further con- ation, Senator King turned over the World Court and Ku Klux {ion planks that had been offered to sub-committees for their consid- eration. “By this prdtedure,” Senator King said, “the coalating committee. will get the more unimportant ‘planikssin- to some shape: while the sub-com- mittée is working of Ku Klux Klan and World Court.” The belief of the sub-committee was that the final draft of the plat- form that would go to the. resolu- tions committee would not be°com- pleted before Thursday morning. This was the view expressed by Senator King. es --Tokio- has - 9835 -moter. cars und trucks, isd SES ry ‘AIR WEATHER DAWNSINN. D.

The expectation on the part of many Independent leaders is that Governor Nestos will win by 25,000 votes, depending on the total vote In some cases’ much of the campaign argument has_ revolved around taxes, the League charging the administration. with aiding the railroads by reducing the taxes and the Nestos administration declaring the tax laws were changed to keep the pledge they made to farmers to reduce the burden on farm lands, which had risen to the highest figure in the state’s history under the ague administration when, it was d, single tax ideas predomin- Taxes on land were reduced, land, railroads and _ similar ated. when property was placed on a 75 percent valuation basis.

Although heavy precipitation de- layed farm work in many sections jand damaging hail and wind storms occurred, the weather was generally favorable for all crops. The corn is rather backward and much dragging is being done for weed eradication though cultivation is well under way. The spring wheat has exceptionally good stand and color. Oats, barley, Spéltz, flax and potatoes are excel- lent, as are pastures, ranges and meadows. Indications are for a heavy hay crop, The roads have generally improved and the main trails are ex- cellent, , ORRIS W. ROBERTS, Meteorologist.

Fuel Oil From Shale To Supply Tokio, June 26. (A. P.)—Japdn’s problem of oi] supply, for years one of increasing anxiety, especially to the navy, will become substantial- ly less acute if claims made on be hulf of the South Manchuria Rail- way Company are proved. For several years the railway has been conducting experiments in the production. of oil from oil shales tak. en out in the ordinary course of the company’s mining of coal at its Japan’s Navy | Fushan mine, in South Manchuria The experiments, it is claimed, have proved that this shale is of especial- ly fine quality for oil production by dry-distillation process that fuel oil eun be produced by this method at a cost which will permit competi- tion with present. market prices in Jupan and that if properly exploited the Fushun shales alone should yield 700,000 tons of oi] annually, which s almost equal to the entire con sumption of the empire. The addition of this amount to the present domestic oil production would make it unnecessary to im- port petroleum and its products. Ja-* pan now produces approximately 325,000 tons of crude oil a year, tuken from wells in tne northern part of the main island. The an- nual consumption is estimated be- tween 800,000 and 1,000,000 tons a year.
