Three eetslons of the conference commit
tee were held yesterday , and all of the va-
rloim ph MK ot the motor franchise problem
were dlscukfed In & brief but genera ] re
view. The meetings wtre all secret , but a
whlnper can be besrd a long way In the res
onant halls of the city building. At the
close of the last eewion of the committee's
conference- Saturday afternoon the only
difference unadjusted was the commutation
ticket and on that an agreement was
nearly reached. It Is presumed that a final
agreement was reached on this feature at
the first meeting jcsterday morning , for a
call was lyued for a meeting of the coun
cil as a committee of the whole at 2
o'clock. At the second session held later
la the day , other matters came up that
caused further dissensions and made It
necessary for recalling the order for the
ton ncll to meet at 2 o'clock to consider the
ordinance that hau been agreed upon.
It was learned during the afternoon that
the new trouble was caused by the demand
of the pltlzeti" that at least every other
one of the Omaha trains shall be run
around the Pierce street loop Instead of both
down Main street , as has been the practice
for the last > ear. The springing of tbs !
demand on the representative of the com
pany catifce-d a serious break In the proceed-
lng that were jnoUng along eo rapidly and
fcmoothly toward a final conclusion. It
was really one of the most stormy tensions
the conference committee has held. When
It broke up there were several propositions
for a compromise , and another session was
called for 5 o'clock. This session was a
strictly private one and the result that
was reached was not given out.

When the city council met last night in
regular weekly adjourned session the allder-
men had been Informed that the conference
committee had failed to adust Its differences
and had announced that no more sessions
would be'held until Wednesday. The Informa
tion was given to the members , but not to
the audience of citizens who nad assembled in
the council chamber to witness what was be
lieved to be the final action upon the proposed
extension of the motor company's charter.
Toward the close of the session they were In
formed by the ayer of the smtatus of the
question , and the back part of the room wcs
soon vacated.
this season's business. When the receiver took
charge there was an overcharge at the Citi
zens' State bank of $16,000 , and this , with the
JGOOO judgment mentioned , and some $2,000
owing to citizens of the city , constituted the
Indebtedness of the company less the amount
of the last two years' losses. Mr. Tinlety
argued that this debt bad to be paid , and in
his Hoe of reasoning followed very
closely upon that of the motor com
pany. To make the similarity still
more striking be detailed the cost
and enumerated the Improvements necessary
to be made In the Immealate future , and
clcxsfd by making the statement that money
could be obtained to take up the accumulated
Indebtedness and provide for the future If
the council baw fit to grunt the flfty-yeai
extension.
There WM no response to the Inquiry of the
mayor at the close of the reading as to what
should be done with the ordinance , and the
mayor announced that under the rules It
would go over. The Manawa charter was
granted March 2 , 1SS7 , and lie life Is twenty-
five years.
Emmett TInley , attorney for the Lake
Manawa Railway company , appea'ed before
the council to advocate the passage of an
ordinance ho had handed ro the clerk grantIng -
Ing an extension of that company's charter
for a period of fifty years from the present
time. The charter was almost a verbatim
copy of the one submitted by the Omaha
line , and covered all of the streets In the
city upon which It might be probable that
the company would want to construct Its
Hues , with the usual provision forfeiting lia
acquired rights on all streets not vscf ( alter the
expiration of three years. There was an
Inclination to smile und treat the ordinance
as something ot a joke until Mr TInley
got permission to address the council in
Its behalf. He gave the history of the
road since its construction was begun In
1SSC , and explained Colonel Reed's purchase
of the > property at an expense of about
$40,000. which represented the savings of a
lifetime. He stated that the road had not
been a great dividend payer aud that Colonel
Heed had only been able to draw out
of It about $1,500. which happy circum
stance occurred before the panicky times
set In. He declared that prior to 1&95 the
road had lost money annually , including
Ihe year when Colonel Reed managed to
iqueezo out a dividend. The season of 1S95
was a good one , and the net earnings of
the road approximated $3,500. At the close
of that fceason an accident occurred that
Eidddlcd a judgment of $ G,000 on the com
pany aud forced It In the bands
of a receiver. Last year the re
ceiver operated It at a net ! OP
of $2,500 , and be could only approxi
mately estimate the cost that would follow
A resolution receiving and accepting the
350 ordinance books was parsed. The bill
for $814.50 for printing and binding infra
was allow e > d. The _ bill was originally for
551 pages , which was eight more pages than
the committee could possibly discover In the
book , and they refused to allow It. A charge
of $13 for "rings" went the fame way ,
owing to the fact that the f > rlnters neg
lected to explain that a "ring" was simply
a change of copy and not a little conspiracy ,
The council directed that a volume nhould
be presented to each of the city officers
and mumbers o ! the council and that the
major and clerk get together and fix up
a deadhead list. The price to all others
was fixed at $2.25 for cloth and $2.75 for
leather binding. '

CEDAR RAPIDS , la. , Aug. 30. Special
Telegram. ) About six -weeks ago Emerson
K. Bull commenced an action , against the
city of Cedar Rapids , In which he sought to
restrain by injunction the city from the pay
ment of certain warrants Issued by the city
since 18S9 , claiming as a ground that these
warrants were Illegal , for the reason that
the constitutional limit had been exceeded.
A bear'ng was had before Judge Thompson
on August 1C , at which time he sustained a
demurrer filed by the city , but granting the
plaintiff leave to file an amended and sub
stituted petition. This petition was filed
and a hearing was had today. Counsel for
the city demurred for the reason tnat the
warrants alleged to be Illegal were not
specifically pet out. Judge Thompson sus-
talred the demurrer and dismissed the pe
tition of plaintiff. An appeal will be taken
to the supreme court.
Considerable interest Is being taken In the
matter , for the reason that It Is generally
unde-rstood that Bull is appearing as a party
to the suit only In the interest of others
who have not at this time seen fit to make

ST. LOUIS , Mo. , Aug. 30. The conference
of labor leaders which began this morning
had a busy day and tonight the end Is In
sight. What the conference has accom
plished , It anything , Is In doubt. It Is * not
bclic\cd the leaders have attained any
definite result and In fact the president of
ono ot the national organizations said to
night that the failure of the conference was
a foregone conclusion. "I should feel very
much chagrined , " eald this gentleman , * "If
J had had any part In the convening of
this conference. "
The committee on resolutions and plans
of action was at work all the afternoon and
tonight , and this evening Mr. Sovereign an
nounced that they had formulated a plan
but declined to give any details. The plat
form. It Is expected , will be submitted to
the convention tomorrow morning. The four
teen different organizations represented In
the convention made an unwieldy body and
It was evident that all of them cannot be
satisfied with a platform formulated by five
men representing as many branches of or
ganized labor.
Mr. Ratchford's plan of petitioning Presi
dent McKinley to convene congress in extra
session to enact measures providing for the
settlement of the present labor difficulties ,
of , as he put It , "to define the rights ot
citizens , If any. " did not meet with the
approval he had hoped for and it Is not be
lieved the plank will be Incorporated In the
platform.
Although present In the convention all
day , Mr. Debs did not speak , nor did he
put In an appearance at tonight's mara
meeting , where he was widely advertised
to make an address. He Is represented on
the resolutions committee , however , by Mr.
Btrger , and as he has remained pretty close
to the gentlemen composing that committee ,
It is safe to say his "social democracy"
Idea will be represented. It Is thought ad
journment will be reached some time to-
morrov : .
CONFPnEN'CE OPENS.
Chairman Stclnblss of the local committee
of arrangements' called the labor confer-
encs to order at 10 o'clock. About 100 people
ple were scattered about the hall , not all of
them , however , being delegates. Mr. Steln-
blEs suggested that as the call for the con
vention had been Issued hurriedly and as
many of the delegates were yet unadvised
as to the meeting place and hour , an ad
journment bo taken until 11 o'clock. He
named a committee to go to the different
hotels and Inform all delegates that the
convention was about to assemble and a
recess was taken.
Shortly after 11 the convention was again
called to order. W. B. Pre , cott , president
of the International Typographical union , of
Indianapolis , was chosen teinpo'ary chalr-
min and W. C. Pcarce of Columbus , tem
porary secretary. Mr. Prcscott then ap
pointed the following as a committee on cre
dentials : Mr. Ratchford , of the miners ,
Jamte O'Connor of the machinists of Chicago
cage , Grant Luce of the St. Louis central
labor organization , J. R. Sovereign and W. D.
Mahon. Considerable controversy aro&e over
the naming of a committee on resolutions ,
which , although the convention was not yet
prmanently crganized , was moved by one
of the delegates. There were amendments
to the effect that the convention adjourn un
til 1 o'clock and that ttie hour be made 2
o'clock , and In the midst of this parliamen
tary tangle , Uelegate Sovereign shouted :
"I'm sick and tired of resolutions ; this Is
the time for action. I move , Mr. Chairman ,
that the motion to appoint a committee on
r -solutlons be amended to read 'on resolu
tions and plan of action. ' "
This brought out a flood of amendments
and motions , but the whole matter was
finally tabled and the meeting adjourned until
2 p. m.
CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE REPORTS.
The committee on credentials made its
report Immediately upon the assembling of
the conference for Its afternoon session. It
was shown that eighty-eight delegates , rep
resenting the following organizations , were
lepresented :
United Mine Workers of America , the So
cial Democracy , the American Federation
of Labor , the Stone Makers- International
union , Brotherhood of Painters and Decor
ators , Brotherhood of Bottle Blowers , Build
ing Trades council of St. Louis , Ihe' Pa
triots of America , the Brotherhood of
Track Foremen , the Single Tax League of
America , Central Labor coun.il of Cincin
nati , the International Tj-pographical union ,
the People's party of Kannas and the In
dustrial Order of Freedmen ,
The report was adopted. It was deciJed ,
however , that delegates be recognized as
coming from the particular organization they
represent , instead of the general body. The
general report showed also the presence of
one woman delegate Mrs. Mary Jcacs of
Chicago , who represents the Social Democ
racy. The temporary organization was then
made permanent and the chairman read th *
call for the convention.
It was moved and seconded that a commit
tee on resolutions , to be made up of ene
member from each national organization , be
named , each delegation to choorc their mem
ber. This was amended by Delegate Steph
ens of Philadelphia to read : "And plan ot ac
tion. " Mr. Mahon of Detroit objected to tnls
committee , as ur.wic'.dly , and said he was
perfectly satisfied to leave the matter of
resolution ; to a committee of five , to be
selected by the chair. He amended the
resolution to that effect Mr. Mahoei's
amendment was carried on a division as was
the amendment of Mr. Stephens.
The chairman then named as a committee

RATCHFORD HEARD FROM.
Mr. Ratcbford tben took the floor. He
went over the miners' strike from Its In
ception to the present day , and dwelt par
ticularly upon "government by injunction. "
He pleaded for prompt action , and coming to
the point of hie argument advocated a spe
cial session of congess us 'ine best and , In
fact , the only relief. "In case of refusal , "
said Mr. Ratchford , "It wjllthen be time to

MONEY FOR STRIKERS.
Mr. Ratchford has a plan whleh he will
probably present to the conference , calling
upon every worklngman and woman In the ,
country to contribute 1 cent per day ot their |
wages to a fund for the re4lef of the striking' '
miners. ThU money ho think * will amount I
to between J1.0M ) and J2.000 per day. Parti
of thin fund will be used to keep men at j
work among the strikers In the PltUburg
district , where the operators p'opose to start
their mlno * with non-union men. In other ,
words , the camps there will be maintained
with the hope of eventually influencing ttio e
now at work to quit.
Among the arrivals of the morning
were James O'Connell. representing the city j
branch of the American Federation of Lhbor , '

PITTSDCRG. Aug. 30. What many of the
strikers In Camp Isolation In the De Armltt
coal region predict will be the last week of
their outing opened with a heavy rainstorm. '
By daylight the roads In the vicinity of j
Plum Creek were several Inches deep In mud
and marching was practically abandoned , j
A few of the campers turned out for misI I
slonary work among the miners and reported - |
ported that they had Induced several meu to
quit work. Captain Delllngham with a squad
of strikers went to the Peterman mine on
the Saltsburg road during the morning.
They say they had some success nmom ;
the men employed there. The prrtcn.
weather Is having a had effect on the cainr-
ers. While the general health ot the ir.fn
Is good , a number have severe colds find n.j
man is down with pneumonia. !
M. P. Carrick president of the Brt thtr- I
hood of Painters and Decorators of America , '
says that a proposition Is 1o be presented j
at the St. Louis convention to mobilize the j
army of unemployed of the country In the
vicinity of Pltteburg in the event of E deter
mined effort ou the part of the operators
to start the mines with imported labor. It
Is understood President Carrick says , that
an appeal will first be made to the railroad
men of the countiy , not as organizations , but
as individuals , to not handle coal dug at
nonunion mines. If this falls , then the mob
ilizing In Pittfiburg will be considered. These
men , he says , will not come here to de
stroy property , or take part in riot or insur
rection , hut will be here to show that this
is a peaceful battle and that the working
classes are as a unit In crying for relief.

OTTUMWA , la. , Aug. 30. ( Special Tele
gram. ) At a meeting of the miners of the
"low field , " which Is southern Iowa , it was
decided to repudiate the reoolutlon recently
parsed at the state meeting in this city to pay
23 cents per week to the eastern strikers. It
was determined to keep up the payment , butte
to turn the money over to local strikers only.

WHKEUNO. W. Va. , Aug 30. The strik-
rrn' camp near the Montana mines gained
not fewer than fifty recruit * today , all ot I
them men who have been working * but the
operators were on the lookout for desertion * ,
and b d nearly as many new men to go Into
the mines. In the New river region a few-
men were brought out. but the district le
working practically full. Kanawha valley
working forces show tome decrease , but tin
agitators had that region pretty well tied
up before. At Clarksburg the operators have
been chafing because tbelr mlaos were tied
up early , while Fairmont carried off a good
part of their trade. Tliu * far no effort ha ?
been made to start the Clark/ > burg nilnre
but It Is given out today that unless the
old men return to work before the end of
the week the operators will begin importIng -
Ing mm next werk. The Clarksburg strik
er * ! arr firm and are not likely to accept
the offer Minor and operator leaders gen
erally take but little stock In thp St Louis
meeting except It may aid the miners In
cash. They do not believe an order for a
general strike could be enforced , and as to"
amalgamating all labor unions and start lag
a political movement not more than the meet
preliminary stei-s can be taken.
