WHAT THEY WANT
The Federation of Labor Convention.
In Session at Chicago Discusses II
Platform.
They Favor Compulsory Education,
Municipal Ownership of Street
Railways, ETC.,
The Naturalization of Railways, Tel
egraph and Telephone-and Many
Other Things.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The delegates to
the American Federation of Labor have
refused to take action on a resolution
touching upon the question of the tariff.
The matter came up in the form of a
communication from the plushworkers
of Bridgeport, Conn.,, which declared
that after the passage of the Mckinley
bill their wages had been reduced, and
that their employers threaten Il further
reduction in the event Of the passage Of
the Wilson bill. The communication
was laid OF the table and the delegates
fought shy of any discussion on the sub
ject.
Chairman Morgan Of the committee on
resolutions, submitted a program for the
naturalization of the railways, mines,
telegraph, etc, as proposed by English
economists, as a basis for the political
labor movement. A motion to have the
matter presented to the organization of
the Federation for the purpose of having
their delegates instructed to vote upon it
at the next convention of the Federation
received the support of a number of del
egates and the disapproval of others.
The platform has twelve planks in it, as
follows:
Compulsory education; direct legisla-
ton; a legal eight hour workday; sani-
tary inspection of workshops, mines and
homes; liability of employers for physi-
cal disability and abolition of contract
labor i'll all public work; abolition of the
sweating system; municipal ownership
OF street cars, electric light and gas
plants; naturalization of telegraph, tel
ephone, railways and mines: collective
ownership by the people OF all means of
production and distrib ution. The prin-
ciple of referendum in all legislation. 1t
was moved to have the resolutions taken
up and voted on seriatim.

Another story Of the Leaving OF Colgase
by the Carlin Party.

Another story Of the Leaving Of Colgate
by the Carlin Party.
MIssoULA, Mon, Dec. IS. - Ben
Kelley, the trapper who assisted Carlin
party TO escape from the Clearwater
country, was in Missoula during the day.
He gives an account Of the trip which
in many respects contradicts those here
tofore published, and intimates that the
abandonment of Colgate was "a cowardly
desertion. 1t is alleged that Colgate
was unable to keep up with the rest of
the party, but was still walking when it
was decided to leave him. Keely says
he wished to leave some of the provisions
with the old man, but claims that young
Carlin, who had purchased grub from
keely, would not permit it, saying they
had not enough for themselves. Colgate
had some fishing tackle. and, after the
remainder Of the party started ahead,
Keely went back to him and gave him
his revolver and cartridge belt. Carlin
was advised by Keely and Spencer. the
guide, to start back two weeks before
they did.
Even after they had started and COM
menced to realize the trap they were in,
he charges that Carlin and the New
Workers could not be gotten out of the
blankets until 10 o'clock in the morning.

or i'll camp work until they became
frightened and We're a continual cause of

the party did not encounter any snow
until two days before they were found
by Lieutenant Elliott. Kelly thinks the
escape of all could have been made on
RATS had not the New Workers been
afraid OF getting drowned. Keely's
story is very derogatory to Young
Carlin, Himmelwright and Pierce. He
is suing General Carlin for the reward.
There seems to have been no sufficient
reason, according to his story. why
Lieutenant Elliott, having, as he did.

dertaken Colgate's rescue.

An Attempt to Compel Restoration of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-When Judge
Wilson of Winona was here several
weeks ago, he argued a motion before
the commissioner of the general land
Office involving the title to about 5000
acres of the old Winona and st. Peter
road. This land was enormously pat
ented to the railroad company, and the
commissioner of the general land office
has now advised the secretary of the ill.,
terror to bring suit against the Winona

brought it will probably not affect the
title Of the lands which have already
gone into the hands Of settlers, though
the road may be compelled to restore the
money received for the land.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Ran Purchases For 1894 Beginning to BE
Made-Pig Iron Quiet.

Made-Pig Iron Quiet.
CLEVELAND. o., Dec. & .-The Iron
Trade Review this week says: The be-
ginning of rail purchases for 1894 is the
feature of the week in iron and steel.
The Pennsylvania railroad is first to
place any considerable contract, and
while the $4,000 tons of SJ-pound rails
brought but little more than two-thirds
OF last years purchases, the expectation
Is that the requirements for 1894 will
round up close to the total for 1893.
The prices paid We're $24, at
the three Eastern mills, among which
" 5000 O II We're distributed. and S25 at
the single Western mill in the pool.
Late intinlarions are that Western roads
will make good sized purchases of rails
for 1894. Only a portion Of the require
ments were covered by the limited con-
tracts placed this year, and there are
reasons for expecting that c~ompensating
orders will be given for the coming II
months.
Reports from the general market indi-
cate a particularly quiet week in pig
iron. Southern sellers are not forcing
sales, in view of the condition of their
order books, and meters of iron outside
OF pipe foundries report a continuance
OF the extreme dullness that has marked
the past few months.
