The Labor Convention Substitutes q
Resolution for 1t.
Chicago, Sept. 28.-When the report
of the committee on resolutions of the
national labor convention was present
ed today, a big row ensued. A resolu-
ton was handed in yesterday approx
ing Of the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l, and the free silver
people in the convention felt certain
that the resolution would be embodied
in the committees report. When It
was returned today, however, it said
nothing about free coinage, but instead
had this clause:
1--WE favor the Issue of staple legal
tender by the government direct and
the establishment of government saw
ings banks"
1t was finally voted to have the -eso-
lutions accepted and printed. and at
tomorrow's session, when they come
up for final passage, lively time is
anticipated, as the silver men declare
they will make every effort to have
free silver plank inserted.
The report is about 1.500 words long
and is addressed "To the labor and le-
form organizations of America" IN
the introduction it refers to the battle
against monopoly" and speaks Of the
ballot as the safest means for reform.
The report says, among other things:
We admit the failure Of the strike
method.
We favor a series OF nationa! con-
ventions, to which we invite the friends
of labor, in a movement looking to-
ward political action.
We recognize the necessity Of strikes,
but the most effectice strike is the
ballot. box.
Eugene Debs was not presen. at to-
days meeting, and it Is understood he

At the BijOu.

"Straight From the Heart" This
piece by Sutton Vane and Arthur Shic-
ley, which runs as follows, is said to
be as thrilling as could be desired:
Clara Nugent, the daughter OF Capt.
Nugent of the navy is loved by both
Frazer Fry, an INSCRIPTIONS million
aire and Mr.. David Walton, young
physician. She refuses the hand Of the
former, but ardently returns the af-
fections of Walton. Clara's younger
brother, while carrying $1,000 in cash
to Fry, is intercepted, drugged and the
money taken from him, the whole af-
fair being managed by Fry himself in
order to bring the girl into his power.
She is saved from this fate by Walton,
who sacrifices his own property. raising
the amount to clear her brother. The
deepest-dyed william Of the piece, and
the one who has the advantage of Fry,
from the fact that ne is not killed i'll
the first act. has dispute with Fry,
whom in the end he murders, throw
ing suspicion however on Walton. In
his dying moments Fry has managed
to write single line, naming, his as
sassin. This paper is found by his
steward, who, however, is a member
Of body of anarchists Of which Fry is
the head. For this reason he secretes
the accusing paper. Circumstances
seem to indicate the guilt Of DR.. Walton
and after many intricate and thrilling
episodes and such adventures as a fire
on board ship in mid ocean, and
capture by the Arabs Of Algeria. He
is about to be executed when Clara
Nugent dashes in on horseback through
the expectant mob with pardon, Fry's
steward having revealed the name Of
the real criminal.
The interest of the piece is greatly
added to by the realistic scenery which
in its entirety will tbss used here.

What is the use of that article in the

forefathers placed there as a bulwarh
of liberty and which says that freedom
of speech and of the press shall not be
denied? The striking miners are not
