pit committee whom it was announced

pit committee whom it was announced
had made an agreement with the OPP
orators of the Star mines that there
would not be any further trouble
there until April 1, 1900, and that COM
mittee says it has not made any such
agreement, only that it would comply
with the Ottumwa agreement. But, it
further states, that when two organiza-
tons are connected with the American
Federation OF Labor and one of those
organizations is to be used to tear down
the other, it is then the duty of the
other organization under the constitu-
ton OF the American Federation Of La
Dor to stand by it, and see that just de-
mands are complied with.
"In regard to the tramway referred
to in Mr.. Baum's article, we wish to
state that the purpose of that driveway
was to down the teamsters, and that
the only reason it was not extended
farther was because the promoters of
it could not secure permission from the
city council, the issue going down only
after hard fight in the council.'

on oath, what he is going to do with
the stuff. would go further, aud
make it an offense for any person to
sell particle Of it to another. There
is no reason why the sale of explosives
cannot be more closely guarded than
the traffic in poisons. Comparatively
little of the stuff is sold except in
large quantities and to men who know
just exactly what they are going to do
with it. The man who wants dyna-
mite or any other explosive for le-
Ultimate purpose would have no obiec-.
ton to saying what he wanted it for,
while the man who wanted it for an
illegal purpose would be putting his
neck in moose the moment he made
false statement. 1t would work no
hardship on the dealer to require him
to keep register and to have every
purchaser positively identified before,
him. 1t would obviate all posi- bility
of mysterious crimes, and make every
man who purchases and uses the stuff
amenable to the law, in that he might
be required to prove what he had done
with the explosive that he purchased
at such price and on such date.
Under the present law any shyster,
who has the price can buy all the dy-i
Mantle he wants. If it is wanted for
the purpose of dynamiting fish in the
river or lakes no one can prevent its
use, and the chances of catching the
man are few and far between. The.
officers of the law are entirely in the
dark when it comes to such crimes as
the Urbana outrage, and people who
buy dynamite for legitimate purposes
might wrongfully be brought under
suspicion"

words about the same distance from
town as that of the Star mines from
which get my coal, and the Transfers
hauling from those mines are compell-
ed to go at least one mile farther to
get their coal on account of the mile
tram-way from the Star mines. Other
mines in the vicinity are situated all
the way from one to six miles from
town, and the teamsters in some in
stances where the roads are bad are
unable to haul more than two loads
per day and cannot do that well at
some seasons of the year. If they are
limited TO two loads per day from all
the mines, I would not be receiving an
equal show. The fact that maintain
the tramway and have expended con-
siderable money on the road from the
tramway to the city for the purpose
of making it passable, is my advan-
tage. 1t cost me considerable money
and should not be compelled to pay
the same price as the operator whose
mine is Ave or six miles from the city
and from which the transfers are COM
PEELED to haul over much worse roads.
My teamsters have never complain
ed to me that they are dissatisfied with
tne wage they receive, and have often
told me that they would rather haul
from the dump at the end of the mile
tramway lending from the Star mines
at the 21a cent rate, than from the
other mines at the 31a cent rate. As
Mr.. Howcls said, the miners at the Star
believe that the strike is unjust, but
they have come out in sympathy with
the teamsters in order to recognize the
organization of the Teamsters. At the
same time the miners are getting all
they demanded in the Ottumwa agree
ment. / have made contracts for coal
on that basis and was assured further,
that IL / went to the expense of get
ting iron and more mules with which
to Increase the capacity of the mines
that they would stand by their agree
ment until April 1, 1900.
SIN regard to that tramway, the
competitors of the Star mines have
suggested that tear down the mile
track or abandon it, which would then
place them on an equal basis. If they
think this gives me an opportunity to
sell coal cheaper than they, suggest
they build tramway to their mines.
That tramway cost me over $4,000 and
will admit is an advantage in that
1t saves teams, but in reality does not
afford me any greater profit on the
output of the Star mines. My connec-
ton with the work at the Star mines
has nothing to do with the work in the
inside of the mines. I only take the
! coal from the mouth of the pit, haul ii
: TO the dump, and deliver it,"

operators or dealers nrices on coal,
employing us to this end, to turn in all
orders for coal under our control to
such employers, the teamster turning
in such order to have the preference in
filling the same.
On their part said coal operators and
dealers agree to do all they can toward
maintaining this scale and to that end
to refrain from employing non-union
drivers or attempting to cut rates for
hauling. They further agree to fur
nish to these union drivers coal for
their own use and consumption at such
prices as will leaYe a margin for their
time and labor ia hauling the same
equivalent to the scale herein agreed
upon.
They shall make full settlement and
pay said drivers once every two weeks
at a regular pay day, to be agreed upon
between said operators and dealers
and said union.
y Said union drivers shall be recogniz-
ed only upon producing the card of
their union, said card to be good only
for the month in which it is issued and
dated, and upon notice to said opera
tors and dealers from the president of
said union that any driver has violated
his obligations to said union or any
provision Of this contract he, such
driver, shall be no longer recognized
by any such operator or dealer.
Tealnsters, Reply.
In reply to the published statements
of Morgan Howels, the lessee of the
Star mines, and D. II. Baum, the own
er OF the same, in regard to the SYM
pathetic strike Of the miners at the
above mine, the members of the local
Team Drivers international union, No.
"a, wish to state that their demand
was made on Mr.. Baum Dec. 4, and
that he knew that the. trouble was
pending when he leased the mines to
Messrs. Howels and Dumberger, on Dec.
z, and therefore the miners are not
under any obligations to the lessees.
The contract was presented to Mr..
Baum and he refused to sign it. Mr..
Howels was then Mr.. Baum's pit boss,
and knew what was pending when the
lease was made.
In regard to the 2i1s cent rate which
Mr.. Baum claims he is paying, the team
sters wish to state that he has been
paying that only since the sympathetic
strike in November, and at which time
the miners were ordered back by the
executive board OF the U. NJ. w. OF "A.
Before that he was paying only cents
and 30 cents. AT present he is paying

A LEGAL SAFEGUARD.
Proposed to Be Thrown Around
Sale Of Dynamite.
INDISCRIMINATE SALE is DANGEROUS
May BE Asked to Pass a
Law Making 1t Obligatory Upon All
Dealers I'm Explosives to Make
Record of Sale.

One of the subjects upon which the
coming legislature of Iowa may be
called upon to act, is that of restrict
ing somewhat the sale of dynamite.
The recent outrages in this state in
which dynamite has played an impor-
tant factor have grown to be entirely
too frequent, and it is time that some
measure should be taken to prevent
the indiscriminate sale of dynamite,
just the same as is done in the case
of poisonous drugs. Such was the
opinion of a prominent attorney as ex-
pressed the other day in the presence
of Courier reporter. "The people
have become stirred up to such pitch
on this subject" said the attorney,
"that itismore than probable that the
Legislature, rat its next session, will be
asked to place dynamite and all other
explosives on the list of articles of
which all dealers must keep record
with date of sale and name of party to
whom sold.
"If such law were in existence
there would be no trouble in ferreting
out the Urbana outrage and it would
be easyito ascertain who attempted to
destroy the home and family of Attor-
ney Cron, at Cedar Rapids. Under pre-
sent conditions anybody can buy dyna-
mite, nitro-glycerine or any of the
most dangerous explosives, carry them
about the country and use them as
they please without any responsibility
to anyone. The member of the coming
legislature who will introduce mea-
sure providing for system to govern
the handling and sale of explosives
will make name for himself and put
the public under many obligations.
Dynamite should never be sold to un-
known parties, and the purchaser
should always be required to state, up

that this siding, which will be put in

time. He also stated that there would
be no changes in the operations of the
Fort Madison for some time to come,
and that the reported sale of the Fort
Madison to the Burlington would not
make any change in this direction.

OUR GIRLS.

No earnest efforts are being made
to Gnd proper place for the Ha-

try. Brother Armstrong writes
about them, but none of his sisters"
in Christ adopts his views of making
them useful domestics. DR.. S. E.
Bishop advances praiseworthy ideas
in regard to the employ meut OF the
girls, and he hires Chinese aud Jap
auese to cook his frugal meals and
wash his plentiful linen.
