concerning the conference: 1T is early
in the day to give out anything beyond
he general statement that this meet
ing has been arranged in the i'll terests
OF harmony between the Federation Of
Labor, the Knights of Labor and other
great independent organizations.
The movement for closer and FREUD
Iier relations, even complete amalga-
nation, dates back AS lar rs 1869 and
work has progressed along those lines
ever since, of course, slowly but ever
with the desirable end in view, the
greatest good to the greatest number
of individuals, represented by organ
IL ID labor, the whole movement being
consecrated to the best interests of the
latter, whatever organization aligned
The conference remained in secret
session until nearly p. M, when n
recess was taken until p. IN. The de.
tails OF the conference are not given
out, but it Is learned from a reliable
source that the speakers do not favor
amalgamation of the different trades
and labor organizations. They advo
cate. however, harmonious union and
concerted action in all matters con-
corning their mutual benefit and for
the purpose Of protection of labor
against capital, 1t is believed that the
conference will agree that all labor Or
CARNATIONS shall bind themselves to
an agreement as outlined above.

DULUTH. Mimi. June lit is now
considered that there are good grounds
for belief that by the first part of Au.
gust there will not be wheat enough
at the head of the lakes to
supply the mills. The amount
in store Mt the present time is
scarcely 1000. 0O0 bushels. The amount
now left in farmers hands ia not esti-
mated Mt enough to he worthy Of mem
ton. For the psSt three weeks millers
have been drawing largely upon the
elevators for their supplies, the receipts
by rail being far short of the amount
necessary for their consumption.
OF the 1000. 600 bushels now in store
the mills will use Mt their present rate
of consumption over 5000. 600 bushels
and as the shipments approximate 2, =
600, 600 bushes per month tho supply is
more than likely to he exhausted be-
fore the new crop begins to move.
