that sectional or local strikes have

for Independent labor politics to be dis

Tne proposed political nation is based
upon the course pursued by the trades
unions of Great Britain.
The programme contains compulsory
education, a legal euhl-hour work
day, sanitary inspection, abolition of
the contract system on publie works,
municipal ownership of streetcars and

MaSSILLON, , March 88. At dusk
this evening two weary travelers with
bundles swung across their shoulders
arrived here overland from Twinsonrg,
O., and took ii,, their quarters in an
abandoned freight car 00 the outskirts
of th town. They constitute the ad
vance guard of Coxey's great common
weal army and are as yet all there is
to it.
General Coxey and Chief Marshal
Browne have uesn ll v 1 ii it about all day
niakitiL' speeches, submitting fo inter
views and ludulging in calculation for
the march that is to begin Sunday.
Coxey received nearly a busbel of let- j
lets to lay Irom all parts of the coun
try, eouir of them containing mousy iu j
amounts ramring from a -cut postage
stam 10 a jl bill. There were two
check for $1 UOO each and soveral for
smaller amounts, but it is the opinion
tl.at they ire worth nothing.
Coxey has received assurance today
that over 80,000 men will reaoh Ms
Stllofl bsfore noon Sunday, the time
set for beginning the long march.
Most of the letters today containing
these assurances bear "fake earmarks,"
but Coxey nnd Browne take thein in
sober earnest and are now positive that
there will b the greatest event since
the war Jnet now the commonweal
army exists on paper only.
