GATHERED BY THE "LEADER'S n
SPECIAL CORRESPOITDEOT.
Washixqtox. I). C.. 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..

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.
