January 2C The Confederation of Industrial Orgs nizationR, which is the title of the convention that has been in session here for several days, has divided the political attention fairly with Congress, in fact the proceedings of the indus trial people have really been watched with a great deal more interest than have those of Congress, for the time being. The convention adopted a series of nine demands that may play an important part in future national political campaigns, of which the fol lowing is a condensed synopsis: 1. Abolition of national bank notes and the substitution of a sufficient volume of legal tender treasury notes, which notes shall, upon demand, be loaned to the people upon non-perishable products and real estate, at a rate of interest not to exceed 2 per r per annum. 2. Free and unlimited silver coinage. 3. Laws against 4 alien landowner ship and against railroads and other corporations owning more land than is act ; illy used by them. 4. I hat taxation shall not be used to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. , 3. That revenues shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the govern ment, economically and honestly ad ministered. 6. A graduated income lax. 7. State and national control of the means of public communication and transportation, and if premt abuses are not thereby corrected, absolute government ownership. H.The"submission of a Constitutional amendment provi iin r for the election of U. rf. Senators by direct vote of the people and for "the election of Presi dent and Vice-President by a popular vote. 9. That tach State provide a sy.stm ti.at will insure an honest and accurate registration of all voters, a free, fair, secret and o.Hcial ballot, and an honest public count.. 1k- '.'ii.,-U' , ; .lVc sja:;;i:i Tern-ii, ui Tex a . 4 , . ,i--nt, and J. W. Hayes, of Pennsylvania, ecretary and treasur. ! . Probabl the most import ant work of the convention has been that transacted in 'secret session, but enough of it has leaked out to vvarrai.t the statement that no third party movement is contemplated for the present This year is to be spent in perfecting the organization, so that if neither of the old parties shows a dis position to recognize the demands of the confederation it will be better pre pared to play a lone hand when the proper time co;r.es. Some of its de mands are endorsed by both parties, or rather by large numbers of the mem bers of both parties. At the present time it looks as if the democrats would go the farthest in their national plat form toward meeting these demands, but a year and a half may bnng great political changes, and it would be foolish to attempt at this time to pre dict the outcome of the new move ment. , Since bringing out the fact ti...i Senator Cameron was a speculator in silver bullion, the House committee which is investigating the charge of Congressional silver pools, hasn't dis covered anything startling, and it is whir red around the Capital that it isn't trying as hard as it might, be cause of knowledge of the guilt of certain men high in the councils of both parties that baa unofficially come to its members. These things are hard to believe, but they will be helieved unless the committee adapts more energetic methods then it has yet done. Xo honest man would object to stating under oath whether he had engaged in speculation in silver; therefore it seems to me that the best way to clear the innocent and show up the gnilty, would be to examine every Senator and Representative, not forgetting the members of the committee.
