oLEo MAKES APPEARANCE.
Fight on Bogus Butter Reopened by tho
Dairy Commisaioncr.


Des Moines, Ia, April l6.-The state
dairy commissioner has discovered an eff
fort to reintroduce into Iowa the sale Of
oleomargarine on an extensive SCALE
Some years ago a stringent law was
passed against the sale of oleomargarine
as butter and following this there was
large number of prosecutions In vari-
Gus parts of the state for violation Of the
law. This had tho effect of breaking up
the business in Iowa, and there has been
little complaint from butter makers since
OF the general sale of oleo.
Last summer 1T WAS found that oleo-
margarine was being used in certain
camps for boarding railroad laborers. and
the dairy commissioner compelled cessa-
tion of this practice. 1nasmuch as there
was no responsible head to these camps
no prosecutions followed. The first of
this month complaint was made that the
butter used in a leading hotel in Ottum-
wa was not just right. Samples were
obtained and subjected to analysis. The
hotel proprietor claimed that be pur-
chased the butter I'm quantity from pack
crs at South Omaha and he saw nothing
of 1t but the bills. He exhibited fine bills
and showed that he was paying tG cents
or more for dairy butter. The original
packages were not found. Upon this
showing nothing was done. But this week
search was made and packages were
found which We're marked simply dairy
and not dairy BUTTER The bills ac-
companying them showed the price was
| only l113 cents. This, the dairy commits
soner declared, should have been sufn-
cient notice to the hotel man that he was
not buying pure butter. The matter was
to be taken before the grand jury, but the
hotel man settled by paying fine in the
minimum amount, which was accepted,
In View of the showing that he knew
nothing of the quality of the product he
was serving his guests. The commits
sioner agreed not to divulgc his name In
the matter This is the first case In lowe
for several months.

That There Will BE Walkout in
Every Mill OF tho Combine II
Necessary to Win Strike.
Pittsburg, April 1s-As a result 9

Pittsburg. April 16.-As result OF
the dispute that for week past has in
volved employees of the w. Dewes
wood plant of the American Sheet
Steel Company at McKecsport and the
company about half the men are on Il
strike today, and the operation of the
plant is badly crippled. The cause of
the trouble was the recent discharge
of seven men whom the men claim
We're dismissed because they We're
members of the newly organized lodge
of the Amalgamated association.
The strike was ordered at meeting
of the local lodge yesterday afternoon.
All is quiet about the works today.
None of the discontinued workmen are
lettering about the mill. and there is no
prospect of trouble. Members of the
firm say they will continue the opera
ton of their plants and if they are
troubled by strikers at Mckeesport
they will ship their material elsewhere
for manufacture.
The mill employs about 500 men. The
event is looked upon as momentous
throughout the iron and steel trade of
the country, from the fact that 1t Is
the first conflict between organized la
Dor and the new United States Steel
corporation and because of the an-
nounced intention today of President
Shaffer, head of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers to tie up every plant of the new

fight. AS to the chance that the men
in all the mills of the United States
Steel corporation will be called ON to
come out no one connected With the
management of any of the plants In
the new corporation will consent to be
quoted.
The only underlying companies In the
new corporation whose mills are en-
tirely independent OF the Anna gamated
association are the Carnegie interests
and the National Tube company Tho
