an affectionate solicitude. AS soon as
the election was over he came forth
from his seclusion and made the air
vocal with his suggestions.
Assuming to be inspired by a purer
democracy and boasting of superior
virtue, he began to offer unsolicited
advice to the party to which he once
belonged. He is like the soldier who
was discovered as invisible in war and
invincible peace To desertion of the
party organization and betrayal of the

plain people, while he concealsl his
ideas in ponderous and platitudinous

FOR A HUGE RIVAL ORDER.
Thirty-six Fraternal Societies Organ
ize to Defeat Bill,


Chicago, March 22.-Representativ
of thirty-siX fraternal benefit societies
met. in the Great Northern hotel yes
terday and organized the Associated
Fraternities of America. + While the
organizers declare their purpose is
not antagonistic to another similar Or
ganization now in existence and
known as the National Fraternal con-
gress, they admit that they are inter-
ested in the defeat of bill which is
now before several state legislatures
at the instance of the congress. This
is known as uniform bill for the es-
tablishment of minimum table of
rates for fraternal organizations.
The new organization originated in
Iowa, where the societies were barred
from membership in the national con-
gress. Besides the thirty-six societies
represented at yesterdays meeting
twenty-six others sent communications
pledging their support and expressing
intention to participate in its work.
The average membership Of each or
ganization is said to be over $4,000
members, making the total number
represented nearly 100000.

to the credit of the members OF the
board of trustees it can be said that
they faithfully fulfilled the promises
of the prominent citizens in putting
the union labor clause in the contract.
There is moral in the matter that
would be we'll for all citizens to study,
and that is that city can secure al
most anything for it's inhabitants
when all work in unionism for the
same end, and it illustrates the prln-
ciple of the trades unions, In union
there is strength, and union OF all
unions can accomplish the most good
for the greater number OF people.
These trades unions and the business
interests of the city are coming clos
er together, and when the day arrives
when they thoroly understand each
other Ottumwa will move as a solid
phalanX to become one of the most
prominent and most important cities
in the west. Every laboring man
loves a city whose industrial concerns
treat the toiler with some considera-
ton.
Miners Union.
Local Miners union No 613 enjoyed
visit from Prca.S,Snt John P. Reese,
of District No. 10, at the regular meet

evening. This local has decided to
push with energy thru the courts the
charges preferred against certain op-
orators and weighmaster of cheating
by short weight President Reese
gave the members instruction in the
matter which will be closely followed.
! t;0,,
in this city it was discovered that an
other weighmaster in one of the large
mining camps in this state was also
practicing the same dishonesty, and on
becoming aware that information
would be filed against him, he made
his escape to parts unknown. This
dishonest method almost caused a
strike involving 500 men.
Carpenters Union.
At the regular meeting of the car
penters' union, held last Monday even.
ing, as per invitation, a large number
of contractors appeared to discuss with
the members the new trade rules OF

The unanimous decision of the board
of trustees for the new library build
ing in placing the union labor clause
in the contract for the construction Of
the building will meet with the ap-
proval of all fair-minded people in this
city. 1t was simply case of recip-
rocity. When the prospects were not
very bright for Ottumwa securing this
library building, thru prejudices which
were brought to bear from all direc-
tions, the prominent citizens of OF
tumwa appealed to the labor organiza-
tions to assist them in securing this
magnificent addition to Ottumwa, and
the labor organizations came to their
assistance. How well and faithfully
they performed their part of the
work is shown by the result Of the
election, a large majority in favor of
assessing the tax for the maintenance
of the building. The labor unions
claim as much. credit as any other
class of citizens for the success of the
project and the securing for Ottumwa
of a beautiful library building. And
