NEW YORK, July 5.—Stock prices displayed a firm tone at the open- ing of today’s market with trading in good volume considering that the session was sandwiched in between two holidays. American Water- works advanced 2% to’a record top of 96%4and new 1924 peak prices were established by Southern railway, Northern Pacific and “Big Four.” The main tendency continued up- ward throughout the early dealings with the buying of the Northwestern rails as the principal feature. Chica- go and Northwestern touched a new top at 58% and Great Northern pre- ferred advanced a point, West Penn Power advanced 1% and Atlantic Gulf and West Indies sold at a new peak price. There were a few weak spots, Chicago and Eastern Illinois preferred dropping 2 points, Mexican Seaboard 114 and Otis Elevator pre- ferred. Foreign exchanges opened easier, French francs falling 10 points to 5:02 cents.

CLEVELAND, O., July 5.(By the Associated Press).—Extolling Sen- ator Robert M. LaFollette after ridi- culing the Republican party, scorn- ing “the Democratic organization and fiercely denouncing commun- ists, Willlam H. Johnston, head of the Machinists International union and chairman of the conference for progresst®@ political action, struck the keynote of the convention of the latter organization at its opening here. Independence in politics rather than a “third party” movement was emphasized as expedient. Senator LaFollette was hailed as “the tribune of the American peo- ple, their greatest spokesman and their most loyal defender.” The recent Republican conven- tion was referred to as “a lifeless gathering of political puppets;’ the Democratic cotvention as “a disor- derly mob meeting, which respond- ed to boss control quite. obediently in its voting,” and the communists as “tools of reactionary who are constantly striving to destroy the American labor movement and create chaos in the ranks of progressives.” Mr. Johnston claimed the present convention represents 5,000,000 citi- zens and he said its program was broad enough to include the best interests of wage earners, farmers, salaried employes, professjonal men. and “independent” bankers, manu- facturers and merchants. ——————_.

The Illinois lead- er had a long conference thereafter with members of the national com- mittee. Meantime the McAdoo followers renewed their efforts on the floor to induce favorite son candidates to drop out, ‘TUG OF WAR’ IS RENEWED TODAY ~ NEW YORK, July 5.—Weary but unylelding after 70 rounds of ballot ing for a presidential nominee, the Democratic national convention was called at 10:30 a. m. today, to begin fnew the desperate tug of war that has carried it to the end of its sec- ond week of sessions. The delegates ‘forming closely matched contending forces were agreed On one point, that desperate measures were needed to break the deadlock between William G. Me- Adoo and Governor Alfred B. Smith. They were not agreed, however, on any of the numerous schemes ad- vanced in frenied eff@ts to bring this end, nor was it known how many of these plans might be -put into effect. Party leaders scurried about to conferences as soon as the conven tion adjourned at 12:20 this morning, but their ideas were so diverse and their objectives appeared so funda: mentally opposed that few of the delegates, trudging off to bed, saw much likelihood of a solution. ‘They were hopeful but they had grown wary of. expecting. After nine Fourth of July ballots, the leaders remained virtually in the same positions they have occupied throughout the week. Each had demonstrated a veto power over the other, and neither camp was willing to concede that “its maximum strength had been called out, or that its lines had shown signs of crumbl- ing. On thé contrary, both claimed to be more solidly entrenched than ever. MeAdoo reached’ his highest point of the week with 539 votes on the 69th ballot and held 528% on the 70th, 20% less than a majority and 202% less than two-thirds of those present and voting, necessary for a nomination. Smith's vote fluctuated throughout the day within a narrow range, just as it had done throughout. Starting at_838%$, his highest figure, on the 62nd ballot, it ended at 33414 on the 70th. Called to meet at. 10:30 o'clock day- light savings time, delegates as us- ual were slow in assembling for the opening session of the Democratic national convention. ‘The day's proceedings opened with & prayer deliyered by the Reverend William Carter of the Throop avenue Presbyterian church of Brooklyn.
