headquarters of the organization in
this city, to discuss the mining situa,

The council issued an address which,
in part, follows:
"a call has gone forth to- the trade
unions and public for d labor conven-
ton in Chicago next Monday. The
ostensible objects are to take measures
in aid of the miners strike and to off
set the sweeping powers of the courts
in granting injunctions in defiance OF
popular rights during labor disputes.
These objects are very comnenda-
bic and worthy the active. practical
support of every trades unionist and
every lover of his fellow man But
conditions have somewhat changed
since that convention was agreed upon.
This week, fully 5000 miners have
gone to work on terms fixed jointly by
the miners and operators. 1t is the
greatest victory gained by trades.

the combined power of wealth, judi

Yet there is and has been money
enough for all the demands of business.
The crops are being paid for and moved,
debts by the million cancelled and the
wheels of industry started in all direc-

an actual diminution in the visible sup

money that has been hidden or boarded.

the only genuine democrats are in such
