st. Louis. August S1.-The conference OF
labor leaders OF the country. which has
been in session two days, finished Its work
this evening. The meeting was productive
of several sensational speeches and many
resolutions yet no decisive action was
taken in the principal matter for which the
gathering was summoned--the adjustment
of government by injunction. The conven-
ton, which had been announced es the
last one of its kind to be held. while ad-
ton ON matters before 1t for two weeks,
and a call for q convention to be held in
Chicago Monday, September a. was issued.
True it is. the convention ordered it's chair
man, Mr.. Prescott Of the International Ty-
biographical union, to request President
Mckinley in the name of the convention to
call special session OF congress for the
purpose OF defining the authority OF judges
in the matter of injunctions, but as the
president will hardly receive the COM
muncation in time to convene congress in
three weeks, even should he consider the
matter favorably, the Chicago convention
may take action which would render to-
days move void, or decide TO act In another
manner.
Mr.. Debs and social democracy domi-
mated the convention and the famous labor
leader carried the gathering off its feet
this afternoon in one of his Characteristic
speeches.
A resolution introduced by Mr. Malone
Of Detroit calling upon all miners now at
work to tn3rt their posts, and terming
them enemies OF human liberty so long as
they remained on duty was adopted Mr..
Malone and another resolution prepared
asking the convention to call for 100 vol
unteers to go into the town of Pocahontas,

lie meeting in defiance of the mayor of
the city, who has set himself up in oppo-
sition to the God-given and constitutional
right OF free Speech" but at the last mo-
ment concluded not to present 1t. The
resolution will probably come to the front
at the Chicago meeting.
Mr. Ratchford, who was especially
pleased with the conventions instructions
regarding the request for the converting

Advent of Imported Laborers Caus

Wheeling. W. Va, August 81. The or.
ganizers working on the mine strike in
West Virginia are not losing any time
waiting for the st. Louis congress OF labor
leaders TO act. In fact It is not generally
believed that anything tangible will re-
suit from the conference. Things are be-
Ing made as comfortable and attractive as
possible at the camps. but the cold nights
OF the past few days have made II decided
~ uncomfortable for men not used to out
door life A gain OF fifteen men was added
to the strikers today. Many OF the native
miners are leaving the mines Ia disgust
since the new men have been imported.
The Fairmont output is rapidly showing

produced to supply the normal demand.
The distress in Eastern Ohio is growing

THE PLATFORM.
Lnbor Leaders Speak in Plain Lam

st. Louis. Mo-, August 31.-The dele
gates to the convention OF labor leaders
were slow in assembling this morning and
IT was nearly an hour after the time set
fer the meeting before the body was
called to order. 1t was 10 o'clock when
the committee on resolutions filed into
the hall and the delegates were called to
order TO hear its report. Mr.. Berger. pre-
senting the resolutions. spoke Of the great
task the committee had before 1t. He said
the report TO be submitted was the best
the committee could do under the circum-
stances. The platform as presented reads
as follows:
The fear Of the watchful fathers Of the
republic has been justified. The judi
ciary has become supreme. We witness
a political phenomenon absolutely new in
the history OF the world; a republic pros
trate at the feet of judges appointed 10

no superior on earth. and their despotic
deeds recall Millions warning TO his coun-
trwmen. who bids man rule over him

themselves the power Of lcgialation. have
