The different stories that are ar;5.
ing pertaining to movement on the
part OF conductors and trainnen in tho
western country for raise in wage,
are in the main inaccurate and mis-.
leading. They probably grew out OF.
the fact that an association of the
general committees of the Order o.
hallway Conductors and the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen for this ter
ritory was formed at Kansas City in
June, at which time the question of in
creases of pay for men in train q
yarl service was considered. 1t Is the
general belief among men in these
capacities that on account of the vastly
changed conditions now as compared
with those in existence at the time the
present wage standards were made
they are entitled to some additional
compensation and they are now con
sidering the, propriety of asking for it.
But If anything is done through these
organizations in this direction it will
be along orderly Lines and in accord.

of the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany, granted a temporary Injunction

had intimated that such step would
be taken in case of further violence.
Chief OF Police Donahue has placed
heavy detail of police about the en-.
frances to the shop yards and the city
officers have been reinforced by sew.
eral United States deputy marshals.

connection with the killing of Earl

breaker, have been held, charged with
Caldwell's murder. and the other four
are held as witnesses. Those charged
with the murder are Michael Spellman
striking boilermaker's helper:
Charles Pospisit, a striking black
smith; John Spellman, laborer; Jack
McKenna, laborer, and John Kerrigan
blacksmith's helper.
Representatives of the strikers have
engaged counsel and say they will Wig.
orously defend members of their or.
ganizations. There are no new devel-
opments duplicating any others than
those already under arrest.

the commerce of the Great Lakes for
the month of June and the seven pre-

on the lakes were 25,71S,826 net tons
in the first seven months of the year,
compared with 18,891,257 net tons in

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis. Sept. 16.-Compared
with last year there were l ,4S1 cars at
Chicago, Duluth and here against 1,S41
with an increase over previous week
of 265 cars. Statistically the situation
is even far more bullish than could a
short time ago have seemed possible.
Every wheat producing country includ-
ing the U. S. shows moderate def
cheney while the consumption in
creases. Wheat is the only commod-
ity that has not had bull turn given
it the last year. Conservative invest
ors are quietly accumulating and in
due time will give shorts a hard drive.
Corn: Receipts were alarming to
the longs and cabls Indifferent. yet the
opening was but shade below yester-
days closing. There were 1OS out of
4OS cars of the contract kind. This
has invited immense amount of short
selling which the market takes easily
and is apparently working in sympathy
with other grains. Our confidence in
the long side is unshaken. especially
with the cash demand so urgent.
Oats were less inclined to show ac-
tivity. Receipts are too small to per-
nit OF much short selling but at the
same time the period of heavy receipts
possibilities has passed.
Provisions are heavy in face of the
continued light run of hogs. The out
sidel;s in fact are giving wheat and
corn more attention as they are gov
erned more by supply and demand
Cannot but feel prices will work con-
siderably lower regardless of the
strength in other pits.

ORGANIZE LABOR PARTY
Movement to Enlist the Workingmen
of the Country Into Big Semi
Political Organic alton.
Platform Embraces ali the Economic
and Political Ideas Of the Labor
Leaders.
Vigilance Committees in Every State
and Large City to See Just En-
forcement of Laws.

Chicago, Sept. ia movement for
enlisting the hosts of workingmen
throughout the United States into a
semi-political organization has been
launched in this city, says the Post
a platform said to embrace the econ B
omical and political ideas of labor
leaders and covering the whole lGbor
situation has been prepared and will
be presented for approval next week
to the Chicago Federation of Labor.
The platform demands the abolition
of the so-called political machine, the
establishment of government prima-
ries where votes may be cast for
nominees as citizens and not as mem
bers CT a machine" and the initiative
and referendum. It favors the right of
recalling representatives who are out
OF touch with voters. Relief from the
trusts is suggested in the plan for "the
bpassage of an amendment to the prac-
tice laws of every state and the fed
eral government when the litigants
may bring up, in any suit in which
corporation is the plaintiff or defend
ant, the question of it's right to it's
franchise, whether it has usurped
power not given it under statute and
whether it has forfeited its powers"
This method, it is urged, would be
productive of more good than the in
stitution of suits by federal district
attorneys. Vigilance committees in
Every State and Large City
are favored to see that the laws are
impartially administered. The eight
hour day, sanitary conditions, living
| wages, the repeal of the laws limiting
liabilities in personal injury suits, the
| supplying of free text books to all chill
dren in the lower grades of public
schools and the abolition of convict Ia
Dor in competition with free men are
| demanded. Limitation on the injunc-
ton powers of judges is asked and the
Popular election of federal judges and
senators is suggested. In all civil trials
majority verdicts are desired. The
plan favors the government instead of
| banks issuing all kinds of money and
| it is suggested that private individuals
be driven from banking business.
Laws are demanded restricting the is
sue of capital stock bonds and securi-
ties to any greater extent than the ac-
tual property owned by corporations.
Public ownership of public utilities is
desired and state insurance and pro-
visions for old age are approved.
Child labor is decried and educational
aids and trade unionism to keep up
wages are approved. In closing the
platform reads:
I'm order to bring about a state of
harmony instead of constant discord
the workingman must look for relief
at the ballot box. Here, where the
will of the people is supreme, the rem.
edy lies at hand and must be taken ad-
vantage of. Workingmen must under
take to govern, as well as toll, and in
that way they will get Justice"

WORK ON TRANSIT. SUBWAY.
Good Progress is Being Made on the
Rapid Transit Subway in New
.ls.l York City.
So Far Twenty -Four Persons Have
Been Killed and Twenty One
Millions Spent.
Wonder Expressed that Loss Of Lives
Wonder Expressed that Loss Of Lives
Has Not Been Greater, From
Mature Of Work.

New York, Sept. 16.-After an ex-
Eenditure of $21 100000 and the sacri.
flee Of twenty-fohr human lives the
rapid transit subway under construc-
tion in this city lis, according to the
World, exactly three-fifths completed.
This statement Of the stage of progress
is based on data compiled in the office
of Chief Engineer Parsons.
4 The principal means Of reckoning
how much has been accomplished and
how much remains to be done is the
amount of money which has been ex-
pended. When the workmen were last
paid off $21,O00,OOO in round numbers
had been disbQrsed or three-ffths of
the 35,000,O00 for which John B. Nc.
Donald contracted to build the tunnel.
The estimate based on these figures is
borne out by study of the detailed re.
ports of progress on. the various Sec
tions.
There have been only two notable
disasters to call attention to the dan
ger to life involved in the great under.
taking. These cost the number of
lives mentioned. .. sttEa
1t is estimated that the task will oc.
cupy another year at Least.
The men in charge 81 the work are
of the opinion that they have been for.
tunate thus far in reducing She peril
of life and limb to the minimum. The,
say that after. millions have been
walking, driving and riding in street
cars for two years on the brink Of an
excavation extending for miles through
the city, and thousands of men have
been employed in hazardous under
ground work, the wonder is that the
list of victims is not much longer.
It has, been necessary to excavate
100000 cubic yards of solid rock and
for months the contractors have been
using one and one-half tons Of dyna.
mite a day for blasting. It is prom
ised that New York will begin to re-
cover from it's torn-up condition within
a short time. Only a-few blocks here
and there remain to be excavated,
and several sections of the tunnel are
nearly completed.

The big defense fund that is being
collected at the national headquarters

left the region since the strike began,

region?" .
"a little is going out, but no new
coal is being mined.
"Most of the coal now being shipped

No, mines are being started and no
