10 to 20 per cent by the decision Of the

Luther. one of the conciliators
The decision, however. does not create
any joy in the ranks of the mine workers
as the laborerS are employed by the miners

cts OF the latter. To enforce the award

the miners and pay it directly to the Ia

Alderman From Fourth Ward
Is the Only Vacancy on
List Decided Upon.
NO OPPOSITION TO THE
GENTLEMEN ON TICKET
Aims and Policy OF the Party Cause OF
Discussion-J. c. McNally Is Nom-
mated for City Treasurer and w. n.
Arnold for Police Magistrate Repre-
sentative Men Named for Aldermen.

The labor party, which heretofore turned
down the United Copper crowd cold by
the nomination of Larry Duggan for mayor
against the United Copper nominee, Pat
Mullins. last evening clinched the matter
by putting up a full ticket minus an alder
man from the Fourth ward, where there
was dearth of candidates, for the forth
coming city election.
There has been a great deal Of talk
lately OF MIR. Duggan Withdrawing from
the labor nomination for mayor and from
the political fight. The action of the labor
party last night at an adjourned meet
ing OF its city convention forever put at
rest those idle rumors, circulated by the
anti-trustite-populist outfit, against Dug
gan and in the interest of Mullins by the
action named.
The Ticket.
The convention of the labor party met
at Judge llarney's courtroom and put up
the following strong ticket:
For Treasurer-J. l.. McNally, a we'll
known member of the Carpenters union.
For Police Magistrate-W. II. Arnold,
former justice of the peace in Silver Bow
township.
Aldermen:
First ward-Willam Murray.
Second ward-Jamcs Shea.
Third ward-Patrick Boyle.
Fifth ward-H. I. Lewis.
Sixth ward--F. H. Young.
Seventh ward-James T. Pace.
Eighth ward-Joseph Bryant.
There was no opposition to the nomina-
tion of any of the gentlemen who grace
the labor ticket, but there was consider

what has been done toward fusion with
other parties on the lesser nominations.
which were left vacant when Duggan was
made the standard bearer OF the party.
McGrath Chairman.
The meeting was opened by Chairman
J. J. McGrath, and Mr.. Duggan and other
members OF the fusion committee reported
TO the convention that an effort to secure
fusion with Duggan as the mayoralty
candidate had been made in conference
with the conferees of the antitrust party,
but without success.
After that the question of putting up
full ticket was discussed. There was
some opposition to that, but the United
Copper push was weaker at this meeting
OF the convention than at the original one,
and the genuine labor men of the conven-
tion carried the day and put up the ticket.
One of the features OF the meeting was
the nomination of Joseph Bryant for the
Office of alderman in the Eighth ward.
Bryant is an exceedingly new recruit in
the labor party. lie was republican
until the recent republican convention,
but he soured Of that party then because
he failed of the republican nomination

After the nominations for the Offices
had been made, the convention selected

member OF the Philippine commission
who arrived today from the Philippines on
a leave Of absence, en route to his home
in Vermont, said in reply to inquiry that
when he left the Island peace blessed them
and he was happy to say the health boards
under the immediate direction of the Phil
ippine commission had stamped out Ash
attic cholera, which caused the death Of
100000 natives.
The same conditions exist in the Philip
pines that existed in the south and south
west after the civil war. There have al
ways been bands OF ladrones who roam
over the country, robbng their own people.
and the government is obliged to cope with
them by constabulary. He said the in
sular constabulary numbered s, 500 men
who were commanded by American Of
6cers.
These men were natural hunters and
they pursued the marauders with zest and
nearly always captured them.
Commissioner Ide said further: Con
ditions in the Philippines are constantly
improving. One meets with discouraging
features but after six months you will see
a marvellous Improvement in the develop
ment OF education, the acquisition of the
English language, the construction of
roads, the creation of public improvements
and the police and the civil courts. When
one looks at the progress that has been
made it fills one with wonder that so much
