why They Were Not Seated.

The refusal of the interstate mine
operators association in convention at
Indianapolis Ind, recently, to seat the
Iowa delegates, was because of the re-
ported contention among the operators
in this state. Or, in other words, was
due to what they termed lack of
thoro organization. One of the Iowa
operators is quoted with having said
that he realized this before going to
indianapolis, and that the Iowa dele
gates did not feel Sighted because of
their not getting seats in the conyen-

Organized Labor In Iowa.

The condition of organized labor in
iowa is better today than at any time
before or since the recent hard
times" Cities that until year ago
had known little OF labor organiza-
tons, are now thoroly organized, and
many new unions have been added to
other cities in the state. Financially,
the unions are all in frst-c3ass shape,
and all are working tremendously for
legislation that will materially benefit
the bread-winners of Iowa. The legis-
lature will be asked to abolish the
convict labor law and stop the leasing
or hiring convict labor, and also to
amend the mining laws, governing
mine inspectors. The State Federation
of Labor, by resolution, has instructed
its legislative committee to work for
the passage of the above, and also that
making compulsory education and re-
stricting the employment of children
under the age of IA in workshops and
factories.
State MinerA' Convention.
The state miners convention will be
held at Des ,Mpines the first part of
next month, at, which time the adop-
ton of a new scale Of wages governing
mlne workers VIII, In all probability,
be made, and contracts entered into
between the operators and the United
Mine Workers for period of one year.
1t is not thought that any obstacle
will be encountered in the settlement
of this wage scale for the ensuing
year The state mine workers are to
be congratulated on being represented
by such capable men as now consti-
tute it's officers and executive board.

The Committees Report.

The following is copy of the report
submitted by the farmers organiza-
ton committee, outlining completely
The plan of the above proposition:
That we can see the probability of
great mutual benefit resulting from
the cooperation OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and such an organic
alton of agriculturalisrs as is outlined
by the representative of the Interna-
tional Farmers Union, thru the use
by the members of each organization
of goods bearing the union label of the
other; and we, therefore, recommend
that the label OF the International Far
mers' Union be commended to all
trade unionists and that the members
of affiliated bodies be requested to
lend all assistance in their power by
purchasing produce bearing such la
bel.
shat the organizers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor be instructed
to aid in organizing farmers in their
respective localities under the direc-
ton of the international Farmers
Union.

Labor and international Farmers
Union be represented in conventions Of

From Wednesdays Daily.
AT the nineteenth annual convention
of the American Federation of labor
at Detroit, last month, the committee
on farmers organization presented a
report, which was adopted, and among
THE members of organized labor is said
to be of much greater significance
than the first appearance of the sub
ject might suggest. The American
Federation Of Labor has member
ship Of nearly s,00o,o68.. When the OBJ
ject of the farmers Organization prop
osition is completed, the vast body
comprising the American Federation
of Labor will buy produce bearing the
farmers union label in preference to
any other, and the remainder of or
ganized labor will reciprocate. Tt will
be practical kind Of cooperation that
will benefit both sides. Advocates of
the measure believe that it will do
more towards putting an end to mo-
nopolistic trusts and combines than all
the politicians in the country, and
they further believe that no power on
earth can prevent the people from get
ting their rights when the farmers and
the mechanics work together.

The RECONSIDEIP;'.S'';.
Charles E. Dunnenberg Recalls His
Withdrawal From the
CONTEST FOR sHERIFFAL7Y
Nomination, Owing to the Many Ex-
pressions of Disappointment He
Was Recipient Of at the Hands of
His Friends-It is Said Herman
Hess, Of Union District, Will Be
in tile Field for the Nomination.


The other day Assistant County Clerk
Charley" Danncnberg surprised every
body by announcing that he had with
drawn from the contest for the Repub-
l!can sherlffalty nomination. Mr.. Dam
nenbers's friends were sorrowful and
disappointed; Democratic politicians
were openly pleased and were willing
to say that a very strong possibility
had been sidetracked. IA
K THIS morning the situation will be re-
versed-Mr. Dannenberg.s picture Is no
longer turned toward the wall. In other
words, he has reconsldered, and will
now be in the race to the finish. In a
card to the public, printed in another
column, he states: AT the instance of
many of my friends I have concluded
to withdraw my declination, heretofore
announced. and will be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for sheriff
of Ohio county, and respectfully solicit
the support Of ALL"
Mr.. Dannenberg's action was the top
lie most discussed among the Repub-
lican politicians last night, and the
Eighth warder's many friends waxed
quite enthusiastic over his change OF
base. Yesterday afternoon 1t was init
mated that Mr.. Herman Hess, Of Union
district. formerly n councilman from
the Fourth ward, would probably enter
the race for sheriff. 1t is not known
whether Mr.. Dannenbcrg's reconsider
alton will have an effect on this prob
able candidacy. II Mr.. Hess comes out
there will be at least four candidates,
the other two being Captain W. H.
Travis and DR.. D. H. Taylor, of Centre

In the report of the secretary OF the
