GOLD RUSH ON
AT KEYSTONE, S. D. N
" Rapid City, S. D., -June 23.
(Special). People from all over
the west are coming to the little
town of Keystone, 20 miles from
here by stage, to try their luck at
1 finding gold. The reason for the
great influx of people is the finding
two days ago of a rich vein of ore
by workmen digging gravel, who
discovered a vein which' resembles
the famou? "Holy Terror" vein
which was presumably lost 18 years
" ago. In the new vein, as in the old
one, the gold can be seen in
"chunks with the naked eye.
The new vein is 1,000 feet away
from the end of the old lost gold
J liTine. Ijt is Calied the Egyptian
mine. .
It is the expected that the finding
of the Egyptian mine will instill
new hope in old prospectors, many
. of whom still tramp the Black hills
in search of gold. The only paying
gold mine in the Black hills at the
-present time is ,the Homestake
Mining company at Lead. This is
said to be the largest in the world.
In the Homestake mines, the "pay

Senator Fall Introduces Reso-
totion to Declare State of
Peace With Germany and
Austria-Hungary.
Washington, . Tune 23. So that
war conditions may not be pro
longed should the peace treaty fail
of ratification or its approval be
greatly delayed, opponents of the
league of nations presented in the
senate a proposal to declare a state
cf peace with Germany and Austria-
riungary.
The declaration was introduced
both as an amendment to the pend
ing army bill and as a separate joint
resolution by Senator Fall of New
Mexico,, a republican member of
he ' foreign relations committee.
The amendment is expected to
roraif up Sattuday.
Both in his amendment and in
his resolution ; Senator Fall pro
poses the president be directed to
secure the immediate return of all
military and naval forces now
abroad on duty connected with the
war. In addition would provide
that none of the money appro
priated by the army bill could be
used for the maintenance of forces
on foreign soil, except, as required
by peace conditions.
A joint resolution similar to that
presented by Mr. Fall was intro
ducee by Senator Edge, republican,
of New Jersey. It was considered
quite probable that the amendment
will be rejected pn a point of order
and that the league opponents
would then line up generally behind
the Fall resolution.
Fight Follows Calm. .
Injection of the peace declaration
into the treaty fight Came af'r
promise of a protracted calm a!-'
ready had been dispelled by an an
nouncement by Senator Knox, re
publican, of Pennsylvania, that Jie
intended to press for action, as soon
as the appropriation bills were
passed, his resolution against ac
cepting the league covenant as now
intertwined with the peace terms.
This announcement promptly was
met by predictions from league sup
porters that the Knox 'risolution
never would be brought to a vote.
Presentation of the peace declara
tion proposals led to no debate,-although
issues of the league fight
had been discussed earlier in the
day in connection with the inser
tion of matter relating to it in d:e
senate record. Senator Hale, re
publican, of Maine, also made an
attack on the league covenant in
presenting an amendment to the
Knox resolution. ' , '

Federation Bases Demand on
Determination to Prevent
Unemployment It Says
Causes Present Unrest.
Atlantic City, June 23. The
American Federation of Labor at
the closing session of . its annual
convention pledged itself 'to obtain
a general 44-hour week for workers
in all crafts throughout the United
States and for employes in the
government service. The demand
was based on a determination to
prevent unemployment, which the
delegates declared is one of the two
primary causes of industrial- unrest.
The other cause, it was said, is the
decreased purchasing power of the
dollar. Manufacturers and employ
ers were urged to "bridge the gap"
and increase Wages "without any
controversy." 1
Samuel Gompers, president of the
federation, was greeted with a roar
of cheers when he announced three
of the four great brotherhoods the
engineers, conductors and trainmen
had applied for charters in the
federation. The fourth brotherhood
the firemen he said, was 'consid
ering a similar application. If the
firemen decide to affiliate, the ranl.s
of the federation will be increased
by 500.000 tmen.
May Book Railway Men.
Delegates were of the opinion that
with the'entry of the brotherhoods
the federation will back the demand
of railway men for government
ownership and control of the roads.
The convention also pledged its
support to the striking commercial
telegraphers and appointed a com
mittee to confer with Postmaster
General Burleson in the hope of ob
taining fr the telegraphers the same
concessions which have been grant
ed to electrical and telephone work
ers. v
The report of the committee which
had been studying the question of
the 44-hour 'week was adopted
unanimously as expressing the cotr
victions of the convention. It said:
"It must be realized that during
the war 5.000,000 of the most active
young men were taken from indus
tries for war service. Despite this
the production of the country dur
ing thewar was greater than at any
other given period in history. Of
course, this great production was
materially increased by the intro
duction of women into the factories,
and to a large extent by the elim

taking over of people previously en
