ident Lowe. 1t was an able presenta-
ton of the political situati.n from the
alliance standpoint and was logical and
convincing. It is safe to say that there
was no one in the audience who was
not impressed with the correctness of
the position of the alliance on these
questions Friday evening was stormy,
yet there wes good turnout to hear
the hayseeds. There. was less OF politics
in their songs than had boon expected
and some were disappointed on that ac-
count, but their entertainment was
thoroughly enjoyed, and we have seldom
seen professionals arouse such enthusas-
tic applause as greeted them on many
of their numbers. They are we'll worth
hearing. The evening sermon by Pres.
Lowe was an excellent lesson from the
past, it's only fault being that it was too
short. We can assure those who have
not yet heard these entertainments that
they will regret it if they do not attend
when the opportunity comes.-DeSmet

Representatives of labor from al
parts of Montana gathered at Miners
Union hall on Thursday morning to
attend the industrial conference. A
similar conference was held in Anaconda
two years ago. The present session is
attended by about l25 delegates, each
lab Dor organization being emit tied to one
delegate and to one for each fifty mem

assembly of the K. of L. are by virtue
of that fact members of the industrial
conference, and in addition there are
present labor men representing organ

Bozeman, Livingston and other places.
The conference was called to order at
II o'clock by Peter Breen, district mas
ter workman. TIE delegates elected j.
Fl. Calderhead, of South Butte, chair
man, and G.. NJ Colman and John Gaze
bel secretaries. Adjournment was then
taken until 2 p. m.
On reassembling, there being nothing
especial before the conference, il was
voted to proceed to the consideration
of labor topics. The discussion lasted
until o'clock, when adjournment was
taken until Friday morning. Yesterday
the entire day was taken up in political
discussion which closed at 6 o'clock. It
was one of the most animated debates
ever heard in convention. While
other matters were brought up for dis
cussion the question of politics soon
mnnopolized the attention OF the dele
gates. The committee on resolutions

He will also be expected to explain why

why he is now allowing Dan Hubbard
