CLOUTMAN POST RESOLUTIONS.
tho Death OF Rev. 1. r. letter
who Was q Veteran.
From fridays Daily.

ETO1n f.uayS Ddlly
Cloutman post, NO. SO, G. A. r., has
passed appropriate resolutions touch
ing the death Of Rev. I. p. Teter, whose
sudden demise occurred at New Sharon
this week, and whose burial took place
today. Following are the resolutions:
Again our fast depicting ranks have
been invaded and Comrade I. p. Teter,
an honored member of Cloutman post,
No. SO, department OF Iowa, has
passed from the life mortal to the life
immortal.
''Comrade Teter was born May ii,
1929, in Lewis county, Virginia, and
suddenly, without a moments warn
ing, in seeming good health, was
stricken dead in New Sharon, Iowa,
where he was pastor Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, on March 6, 1900.
'Comrade Teter in early life devoted
himself to the ministry in the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, and for nearly
half century had been prominent
member of the Iowa conference, filing
nearly all the leading pulpits in the
district. Early in the rebellion he be-
came chaplain of the Seventh Iowa in
fantry, and endeared himself TO the
boys in blue everywhere.
"Comrade Teter was a ready, elo-
quent, magnetic speaker; he was an
ardent, enthusiastic patriot; he was
endowed with the ability, courtesy and
bearing of the Old Virginia gentle
man; he was a very companionable
man. We of Cloutman post will miss;
his always CHEEKY voice and warm
handshake greatly, keenly conscious OF
the great sorrow which has fallen so
suddenly upon the wife, who for fifty
years has enjoyed his companionship,
and upon the children. Be it
Resolved, That we extend to them
the old veteran warm sympathy for
the loved ones left behind, as our com
rades pass on TO the roll call on high.
Resolved, That this tribute of re-
spect and coincidence be published and
a copy be engrossed and presented 10
the family by the proper officers OF
the Post.

a. G. Cattermill, of Chicago, mems
Der of the general executive board of I
the united carpenters and joiners of |
America, will address the carpenters
and contractors at Labor hall nexh
Monday evening, March 10. This isl
expected to be the largest meeting of |
carpenters ever held in the city, and
those who fail to attend it will miss a
treat as Mr.. Cattermill is fine orator
and a man who thoroly understands his
subject OF unionism, which will be his
theme. All carpenters and contract
ors Of the city are urgently requested
to be present.
As per resolutions adopted at the
miners convention at Des Moines, all
union miners will hereafter refrain
from purchasing anything that does
not bear the union label. This will
give great strength to the union label
and make it in greater demand than
ever.
The United Garment Workers are
spending $4,000 in Iowa, advertising
their label. The demand for their
product has increased far beyond the
expectations of their organization. In
fact, General Secretary White, who has
never visited Iowa, was surprised to
learn that manufacturing had grown
to such an extent as reported by Pres
ident Sabine on his return from trip
to this state.
After the close of the joint conven-
| ton of the miners and operators now
in session at Des Moines, State Secre.
tary White will open headquarters at
Oskaloosa.
Herman Tiedjens' of Des Moines,
| president of the state allied Printing
Trades Council, has issued q circular in
behalf of a universal union LABEL
A description of the condition of the
cotton operatives of the south, by Prof.
Gunton, who has just returned after.
a personal investigation, reads very
much like the accounts of the condi-
tons which existed in England at the
time the factory system was institute
| ed about century ago. There is the
same exploitation of the labor of wo-
men and children, the same disregard
1 of human life and happiness, for the
sake of profits. All the restraining in
liuences of society which have done SO
much to curb greed and set up certain
| moral standards which even the most
heartless employers are obliged to rec
| ognize are utterly unknown in the
southern states where cotton manu-
facture has recently been introduced.

mfr. Underwood tAla.l said he earnestly
favored the building OF the canal. No gen
tleman could be found on the floor who
would come out openly, he said, and de-
clare his opposition to the project. Yet
he said there was opposition strenuous
and dangerous, but concealed and indi-
rect.
The amendment was then adopted.
Mr. Parker IN. ~ offered an amend
ment to strike out that portion OF the bill

This amendment called forth a protest

route which caused 'one Of the greatest

to unload tho enterprise on the American
people. Much as he trusted the president,
he would not trust any chief executive

make the choice OF routes Of the canal.
Mr.. Burton (Ohio) declared very en-
phatleally that he was not in favor OF the
Panama canal route but plain buEiness
sense demanded a proper investigation and
