Well Attended.

gates met at the state convention of the
New York state Chicago Platform
Democrats held in this city. A platform
adopted reaffirming the Chicago plat
form of 1896 with particular emphasis
on the unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at a ratio of IS to 1. independent of
all other nations The platform declares
against all combinations and trusts; de-
mands the public ownership, operation
and control of all national m-OnopOlies;
declares against the creation and main
tenance of a large standing army; con-
United States in using the militia for
unlawful persecution against organized
labor condemns the war against the
Filipinos as being a war of criminal ag-
erosion and condemns the Republican
party for handing over to the trusts,
mOnOpoIies and politicians the island of
Cuba and depriving the people of their
absolute right of self-government-'
Letters were read from several persons.

A BOOM FOR FAIRBANKS.
He is Already in the Race For the
Nomination For President in 1904

Indianapolis, Ind, May 21-Indiana
Republican leaders and delegates to the
national convention will go to PhiladeI-
phia with the intention of starting a
boom for Senator Fairbanks for presi-
dent in 1904. They have talked the mat
ter over among themselves and have
come to the conclusion that the time is
ripe to begin. Since Congressman Ian
dis, in a speech before the state con-
vention, announced that Indiana would
propose the name of Senator Fairbanks
for president in 1904, it has been re-
garded as almost a certainty that SEN
ator Fairbanks win be a candidate for
the nomination.
Republican leaders in the state say
there is a growing sentiment for hin
elsewhere, and that unless something
unexpected happens, the prominent
men of a number of states will rally to
his support when the time comes for
him to make an announcement. It is
generally understood that the course of
Senator Fairbanks has been pleasing
to the president, Senator Hanna and
others. and the leaders in this state feel
that it will not be difficult to impress
the crowds at Philadelphia that Sem
ator Fairbanks is the right man for the
party to nominate for president next
time. It is probable that Senator Fair
banks win be made chairman OF the
Indiana delegation at Philadelphia.
There will probably be a thousand In
ianians at the convention

Strike Situation in Philadelphia
Reaches a Settlement


Philadelphia. May 21.-The beginning
Of the fourth week Of the strike of men-
employed in the building trades in this
city brings with it a practical settle
ment Of the difficulties though the
breach between the allied Trades unio1S
Il and the Brotherhood of Carpen4
terS p JOinerS is wider than ever. The
allied council continues TO regard
brotherhood carpenters as ~nOn-uni8n
men and it is said, Will make an effort
to disrupt their organization. Allied
council members are permitted to work
on jobs where brotherhood carpenters
are employed and this is regarded by
the latter as a partial victory inasmueh
as their refusal to affiliate with the
council has not thrown them out of
work.
The United Labor League which en-
deavored to bring about a ~reconciIia-
ton between the warning labor organi-
cations has suspended two local unions
OF brotherhood carpenters, which was
affiliated with h league because OF
their refusal to accept the allied coun-
els proposition to work only with
union men Wherever the wage scale
has been signed, the strikers have re-
turned to work n there will be no
further negotiations between the allied
council and the brotherhood of carpen-
ters.
The plumbers who struck on May 1.
for an eight hour Lar at IS. rs went back
TO work today. without having reached
any agreement with their employers.
They We're instructed by the officials of
the union to demand 50 for a day of
eight hours. 1t is impossible at this
time to ascertain the number of men
still out, but it is said that the strike
has been broken and that all the men
are returning to work.
