demand that all moneys, gold, silver
and paper, be issued by the govern
men of the United States directly to
the people.
Sixth-We believe a representative
form of government failure and re-
gard direct legislation and the imper-
ative mandate as the first step neces-
sary to enforce legislative reform, and
therefore demand the initiative and
referendum In the making Of all laws,
national, state and municipal, and de-
mand the abolition Of the caucus and
convention system and urge the nomi-
nation of all county and state officers
by direct vote Of the people.
"Seventh-We believe the members of
our organization should be as unit on
all matters that affect their interest.
Therefore we would suggest that all
political and economic questions be
discussed freely ut all meetings of To-
cal unions, and that an aggressive pol
Icy OF organization along these lines be
pursued, realizing from past expert
ence that 1t Is not SO much the prin-
ciples you advocate as the men you
elect to enact into laws, execute and

would insist on the local unions select
ing men from their own ranks when
ever possible to fill these positions.
"Elghth-We also believe that the
public lands should be open only to
actual settlers to the total exclusion Of
all corporations and land spectators,
who have, by their greed and avarice,
tended to destroy the opportunities of
the great masses to obtain homes.
"Ninth-We view with alarm the
possibilities Of cheap labor that con-
fronts us by reason of the expiration
Of the Chinese exclusion act, and de.
mand the re-enactment of suitable
law on the statutes OF the United
States that will forever remove all
Aslatic races from competition with
American wOrkmen and women, and
urge upon the members of organized
labor to spare no effort to have such
law enacted.
"Ienth-Believing that vigorous
policy of organization is the first step
necessary to realization af the fund
amental principles Of organized labor.
we earnestly recommend that renewed
energy be infused into all our future
efforts in carrying out a policy that
will result In the attainment Of COM
plete and thorough organization Of the
wage earners everywhere, to the end
that cooperative effort in the future
will be substituted for that policy
which has proven SO detrimental In
the past of arraying the workmen
against each other instead Of combin-
ing against their common foe"

Its work and adjourn to-day.

Denver, June 4.-By the unanimous
adoption of the resolutions submitted
by Its committee yesterday, the West
ern Federation of Miners urged the
members of organized labor the coun-
try over to refrain from joining any
department of the military service of
the c0untry-either state or federal.
The preamble declares the purpose
Of the Federation to uphold the rights
OF the toiling masses and says:
I'VE advise the tOiler to be ever on
the alert In defense of his rights, edu-
cate himself to protect those rights by
a peaceful use of the ballot, 80 long
as the feasibility of such means will
justify the end In view. When not let
us be prepared to meet the enemy with
the weapons of his choice, and rather
spill every drop of life-giving fluid at
the point Of the bayonet than submit
to further oppression on the part of our
aggressOrs.
"Reallzing that great victories are
not won in a day, and that, as an in
eyltablc consequence time must elapse
before the conditions portrayed herein
can be brought about, we submit the
following for the immediate betterment
of the present deplorable condition Of
the producer:
"Flrst-We are opposed to the ex-
panslon of our national boundaries for
the acquisition of territory populated
by other than the Caucasian race.
"Second-We are opposed to arbi-
trary interference by federal authori-
ties In local affairs, and we especially
object to government by injunction as
n new and highly dangerous form Of
oppression, by which federal judges In
contempt of all laws of the state and
rights of Its citizens become at once
legislators, judges and executors.
"Third-We view with alarm the evil
dent desire to increase the standing
army. Aside from the enormous ex-
pense large military establishment
imposes upon the producers of the ma
ton. who are the actual taxpayers, we
know from historical facts and our
own experience that 1t is the chosen
weapon of tyrants already, Il foe to In
dividual rights of the common people,
and Incompatible with free institu-
tlons. Therefore we express the hope
that the members Of organized labor
everywhere will refrain from volun-
tary enlistment In any department of
the federal or state military service.
Fourth-That graduated tax be lev
led on income and Inheritance, and
property tax should be levied on land
values only.
"Fifth-We denounce the national
banking system as an institution es-
tablished and maintained In the inter-
est Of capital alone, and inimical to the
best interests OF the producers, and
demand that the system he abolished,
and postal savings bank system be

The King remembered meeting pre-
yiously William Butler Duncan and

small talk regarding the weather, the

When the audience was over the
delegates partook of small feast and
repassed the King and Queen, who
were having tea In the garden. The
King stood up, took off his hat and
bowed his farewell. The delegates
then returned to London.
President Morris X. Jessup said:
1--WE We're warmly welcomed and
spent pleasant afternoon. One of
the most pleasant features was the un-
expected presence of the Queen. Both
she and the King We're extremely afra-
BILE. / regard the occasion us one that
will greatly strengthen the relations
between the two countries"
All the delegates said practically the
same thing.
George G. Ward said:
When we saw the Queen we could
scarcely believe she was the Queen,
she looked so young and charming.
Both the King and Queen appeared
to be In splendid health and they GER
talnly were In the best of spirits"

London, June 2.-Twenty-tw Amer.
lean gentlemen dressed in the deep
black of British court mourning, repre-
senting many millions of money and
vast commercial interests, were the
guests of King Edward yesterday at
Windsor.
The American guests of the King
were the delegates Of the New York
Chamber of Commerce. The visit was
arranged by the London Chamber of
Commerce, the president Of which,
Lord Brassey, accompanied the Amer
lean party. The visitors We're greatly
impressed and pleased by their audi
ence of the King, who was just as in
terested at meeting them as they were
at meeting him.
The King had expressed consldera-
BILE curiosity to see what manner Of
men these nlulti-millionaires might be,
especially Messrs. Morgan and Carne-
gle. AS regards the latter, the King
was disappointed, for Mr.. Carnegie
was unable to be present. From the
King down all the officials concentrat.
ed their attention on Mr.. Morgan.
Their curiosity was not unmixed with
awe.
One Of the high officers of the house
hold confessed that an inspection Of
the list Of visitors made them trcmble
lest Mr.. Morgan or one of the other
millionaires should take n fancy to
Windsor and buy 1t.
Apart from this personal point Of
view, Lord Pelham Clinton, master of
the household, said the King regarded
the presence in England of such rep
resentative body of American business
men as highly significant Of the close
and friendly relations existing between
the two countries, and In furtherance
Of that feeling he was delighted to
welcome them to his castle and make
their acquaintance.
After an inspection Of the grounds,
the delegates were taken to the east
terrace, where they were received by
the King. They were surprised to find
that the Queen was also present, for
her appearance was quite unexpected
With the King and Queen were the
Princess Victoria and the children Of
the Duke and Duchess OF Cornwall
and York. Each delegate was formal
ly presented to both the King and
Queen, shaking their hands.
This ceremony over, the King asked

A dearth of violets may not SOUND
alarming to those who are not aware
of the great Importance Of this flower
in perfumery. At present great dis
tress prevails all along the Riviera.
and especially at Nice owing to the
failure Of the violet harvest. The ex-
ceptionally cold spring and the Bit
ter winds have destroyed the blooms,
and the peasantry are in such pitt
full condition that a public appeal has
been made to assist them until the
young plants can be bedded out. The
orange nower crop has also been very
bad. The marked change In the cli-
mate OF Nice Is said to be due to the
frequent fires which have destroyed
the forests in the Estereals. and It Is
now proposed to replant them. and to
