state Ticket In the Field.

HARRISBURG, Pa Sept. 1t.-To-day the
true inwardness Of the body which met yes.
terday In Bares' Hall. and which was called
the State Labor Convention, Is apparent. AT
no time during the session, which was secret,
were there more than fifteen delegates in
attendance. Of those not over five were
really worlingmen. Aben Davis, reporter of
the Philadelphia Times, who can hardly be
called a horny-handed son Of toll, was the
! leading spirit Of the day. The coal counties
were not represented. and but few OF the
centres Of trade.
| It is rumored that the Philadelphia platform
| is approved by representative workingmen,
but they disown the convention of yesterday
as not being delegated to act for them.
| HARRISBURG, Sept. 10.-About thirty dele
gates attend the Labor Convention. The pro-
ceedings are secret, but they publish plat
form, Of which synopsis follows: The first
resolution calls for the abolition Of the ma
| tional banking system, unconditional repeal
OF the specie resumption act. and the issue Of
U currency BY the government, based upon
| the wealth OF the whole nation
The second declares eight hours formal
days work, and favors legal punishment for
violation.
The third demands sanitary inspection Of
| all conditions OF labor.
laws for the encouragement and protection OF
American interests against composition with
foreign labor and capital
The fifth calls for the establishment Of a
bureau Of labor sta istics Ia all States, as well
as by the National Government; officers to be
taken from the ranks OF labor organizations.
The sixth demands equalization Of taxes.
The seventh calls for abolition Of the con-
tract plan Of municipal State and national
work.
The eighth calls for the prohibition Of en-
ployment OF prison labor.
The ninth calls for the enactment Of a law
making employers responsible for injuries to
their employees, through carelessness of en-
ployer.
The tenth demands that public lands be re-
served for actual settlers.
| The eleventh demands that courts of arbi-
tration be established for the settlement of
disputes between capital and labor or en-
ployes, strikes being disastrous to both.
| The twelfth calls for compulsory education,
and against the employment Of children un-
der fourteen years of age In industrial estab-
lishments.
The thirteenth calls for the abolition of all
conspiracy laws.
The fourteenth calls for gratuitous educa-
tion in educational institutions.
The fifteenth recommends the principle of
cooperation, distrbutive and productive, as
eminently calculated to improve the condition
OF the people.
The following nominations were made !:
Judge of the Supreme Court, w. L. Elwell, of
Columbia county; Auditor. Gen. John w. Da-
Wis. of Pittsburg; State Treasurer, james L.
Wright, OF Philadelphia.
