Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 4.-The exc
cutive committee in charge of the ar,
r~angements for a currency reform CON
vention to be held in this city on jan
uary ~, today issued a formal call for
the convention. The call recites that
the convention shall be composed OF
representative business men chosen
from the boards of trade, chambers OF
commerce, commercial clubs or other
similar commercial bodies in cities OF
5000 or more Inhabitants, according to
the census of 1890, the basis of repre-
sentation to be according to the popu-
lation. The convention is called. ii ia
recited. for the purposU Of considering
and suggesting such legislation as may
be deemed necessary to place the cur
rency system Of the country upon a
sound and permanent basis. The call
asserts that the necessity for such leg
islation is generally conceded by BUSH
ness men and concludes as follows:
And we have a right to believe that
the convention composed of broad,
minded and enlightened business men
will be SO earnest in the pursuit OF
truth that party considerations will be
forgotten, converting in the spirit OF
enlightened patriotism, can and will do
much in helping forward a wise and
sound solution Of the currency qlses-
ton. We are also justified in the light
of the recent presidential election, in
saying that the voters Of the nation
are opposed to any plan OF currency re-
form involving the use Of any money
which will place in jeopardy the honor
or credit of our country"

FAVORS 1 WAGES

Butte, Mont, Dec. 4.-The topic OF
conversation today is an interview
with James A. Murray, a millionaire
banker and mine owner, published in
the Butte Miner, in which he advocates
higher wages for the miners Of Butte,
who now get $3.50 per day. He says:
mo matter what may come l will not
reduce the wages Of any man in my EN-,
ploy. Why should one man who does
very little work be able to roll in lux
ury and have more money than he
knows what to do with, while thou,
sands of men whose labor produced his
wealth ire practically penniless. -Four
dollars a day would be a small recom-
pepse for the man who goes into the
mines every day. taking his life into
his hands and risking every thing he
has in the world"
