sOnnel of this conference includes the
names of men and women who have
already made their impress upon the
current historic page.
The GREAT WEST goes to press
too early to permit a comprehensive
report of the proceedings ofthe great
conference which an associated press
representative fitly designated "the
greatest gathering of the representa-
tives of disaffected political elements
that the world has ever seen." How
ever, we present below a general
statement OF the important trans
actions up to the hour Of going to
press Wednesday eve.
Ben Terrell, of Texas, was selected
to call the conference to order.
Before Col. Terrell, let fall the
gavel, the big hall was lively with the
discussion of the national committee
of the Peoples Party. Sixty-nine OF
leading representatives of the great
reform movement were gathered on
the stage of the Music hall, under
dazzling chandliers of electric lights
and an immense American flag. The
main body of the hall and the CALLER
les were filed with groups OF dele
gates and spectators, who admiring-
ly watched and listened to- the ring
ing words of orators who have
achieved national fame as stalwart
champions of the peoples liberties.
1t was. 2:25 o'clock when Col. Ter
re]l called the convention to order
without the formality of an address,
by announcing that the "congrega-
ton" would rise, and the proceedings
were opened with prayer. The 1 200
or more delegates complied, while the

the docks OF Erie, Pa, ready for ship
ment to the great treeless north and
west, for the sum of $500 ton? No
NOT that much! $500 ton? No.
81 ton? No sir. 50 ton? No,
shirvering child, not thatmuch. How
much?
Why, for 1926 per ton.
"You lie,'' cry the great teeming
million who suffer from the cold
blasts of the western prairie. Because
the freight to Duluth or Chicago is
only thirty cents ton, and if you,
Mr.. Editor, did not LIE, coal would
be landed on those great coal docks
at 1856 ton!
1t would, would it? Well indeed it
would, because it is landed on the
docks at Duluth and Chicago at
$2.55 a ton, plus the cost of the
stevedores who unload by machinery
at 100 cents per 20 tons!
When we preached the mighty
wheat crusade, and gave the docu-
mentary evidence as to cost of rail-
ways, the howl went up from Dan un-
to Beersheba, that the GREAT WEST
did not know sense from dementiai
But today the world knows more.
So today the world will scoff at
these statements, but tomorrow the
great black and brazen thieves who
have power to quench Heaven to fire
He'll, will have the harness torn from
their pirate shanks-and stand forth
as the monumental skinners of the
centuries.
How can coal be dumped on the
docks at Erie, Pa, or Buffalo, N. Y,
for 1926 ton?
Simply because the'average cost of
coal in the United States is 90 cts. per
ton-ready to be carried along these
sIRON HIGHWAYS
at one dollar ton to the lake-boar,
profts-all that is claimed.
