About Two Hundred Representa-.
tives I'm Session at ChicagO.

Chicago. Sept. 2s.-About 200 repre-
sentatives of labor organizations were
present in the Schiller building to at
tend the national labor conference called
by the st. Louis labor convention. Many
organizations affiliated with the Ameri-

President Debs of the social democracy
explained the objects of the conference.
He appealed to the representatives of all
labor organizations to work together to-
ward the amelioration of the present con-
dition of the laboring classes. "Strikes
don't pay" said Debs. "All strikes are
lost; they are useless; they are caused
by the employing classes. When capital.
lists get ready for a strike they provoke
one, knowing well their fight is won be
| fore the conflict is begun

OPENING THE eLAckFooT RESERVE.


Washington, Sept. 2S.--Information il
received at the office of the commissioner
of the general land office that the
survey of the BlackfOot Indian reserya-
ton in Montana is completed. The reser-
walton is now ready to be thrown open to
settlement as soon as the reports can be
prepared and approved by the interior
department. There have been charges
that the department was delaying the
survey in order to give favored persons
an advantage to secure the rich min
eral deposits, which it is believed will be
found upon the lands of the reservation.
Commissioner Hermann said TODAY
that the work had proceeded with all
possible dispatch, and the approved plan
of the survey, which would be the final
act of the survey, would probably be
filed in the local land Office within the
next 90 days. The lands will be subject
to entry only under the mining laws
and Mr.. Hermann calls attention to the
fact that the original provision giving
those who have already located mining
claims the right to hold them for 90 days
has been repealed.
