INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. l6.-The
narional executive committee of the
Peoples party has formulated a propo-
sition for union with the Alliance,
which may be presented to the su-
preme council at any time. The pro-
posal is based upon the absolute neces-
sity of political action to accomplish
the uniform purposes of all the indus
trial interests of the country; that the
Alliance, as a non-partisan body, can
not enforce it's demands, and that only
by the cooperative union Of all parties
and organizations can the reform legis-
lation be had.
The business presented to the su-
preme council this morning was the re-
port of the committee which was ap-
pointed to confer with the anti-sub-
treasury executive committee headed
By w. S. McAlister, DR.. Yeomans and
Joseph Gates. The result Of this con-
ference was an agreement to hear the
protest from DR.. Yeomans to day.
This was the first matter taken up this
morning. After the report Of the COM
mittee was received the supreme coun-
Gil excluded all not delegates, including
Jerry Simpson and ether lights. Sen
tinels were placed on duty and every
precaution taken against the spirit of
the debate leaking out.
THE CONSOLIDATION PROPOSITION.
It developed late this afternoon that
the consolidation proposition of the
Peoples party executive committee
was sent to the Alliance and F. NJ. B.
A. meetings yesterday afternoon, and
committees of three from each were
appointed. These committees met with
committee from the Peoples party
at the Hotel English at S o'clock this
morning, and an informal conference
was held, over which Representative
Taubeneck, Of Illinois, presided. The
demands Of three organizations were
discussed as to whether they could be
placed on a common footing, as they
would have to be.
Taubeneck says the +. NJ. B. A. is
heartily in favor of the third party
consolidation, which, he thinks, is
bound to occur in few days. Who
compose the committee is not known,
but Taubeneck is at once representing
the radical Peoples party, being chair
man of the national committee, and the
radical element Of the F. NJ. B, A, of
which he is leading member.
The ultimatum to the Alliance to the
anti-sub-treasury people is that the or
ganization will not recede from its ad-
herence to the Ocala demand on this
question. The anti-sub-treasury men,
McAllister says, will at once form o
new Alliance. Another objection which
they have to the Alliance is the gov
ernment ownership ofrailways.
CONFEDERATE INDUSTRIAL UNION.
This morning was held the most inn
portant meeting that has occurred in

tions. This was the gathering of the

ated Industrial Union, composed of

the Knights of Labor, Citizens Alli-
ance, Workingman's League, Patrons

tions, to consult about calling con-
vention of these organizations on Feb
