Chicago, July 1——Defautrd in ef- forts to promote unity of political ac- tion among minority political and in- dustrial groups but well satisfled with regults, the farmer-labor party and federated farmer-labor party dele- gates went home today, each party ip- tent on putting its finger in the 1924 political pie. Leaders of the farmer-labor party who fought against affillation with the federated party in the face @f a gplit in their own ranks said their party was "free of a red menace and on its feet stronger than ever in pur- suit of independent political satisfac- tion."

Brown, national secretary of the far- mer-labor party said his party im- mediately would approach all groups of workers who conld accept its prin- | ciples and solicit their affiliation. The date of the party's nominating con- vention will be fixed later. The con- stitution of the federated party calls for a nominating convention in De- cember or January and it would send invitations to coming labor confer- ences to unite with it, leaders said. William Bouck, representing far- mers of of Washington, was elected national chairman of the federated party yesterday; Joseph Manley, New York structural iron workers, na- tional secretary.
