.es-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, March 16.There is
Trouble in the air in connection with the
b., G. r. & n. strike, and while there is
little new in the situation and the men
are still orderly a few hours may fur
1.ish sensational developments. Mr..
Williams returned the typewriter
statements Of the mems grievances yes
terday but it was unaccompanied by
any statement of his future policy. At
any rate he has done or said nothing for
the information of the men or the pub
lie. The situation is becoming more Sc
verely strained every hour that passes
and it is more than possible that a SYM
pathetic strike of trainmen will be or
dered on unless the management gives
some assurance of meeting the demands
of the men at least half way. To an
|Cnprejudiced observer the trouble is
still in its beginning. The men will not
consider the piece-work system and the
management will insist on the shop
work being done under no other. "A se-
rious strike seems inevitable with it's
lconcomitant train of suffering and loss.
While the men are orderly and quiet at
present and are of the superior class of
| laborers, there is small room to doubt
lsthat a general tie-up and fight to a
finish between them and the railroad
lwould bring on, serious disturbances. 1t
lis hoped that both parties to the con-.
ltention may reach some reasonable and
Reputable ground of settlement at once.
| The most important development in
the matter yesterday was the report of
1.-THE committee of the Commercial Club
| in which they express the opinion that
Iis would be needless to investigate as
1 TIC minor details so long as the funda-
mental difference exists. The report IN
/ full is as follows:
The committee of the Commercial
Club. as reported in the public pre- s..
| submitted the formal statement of
grievances prepared by the shopmen to
Mr.. Williams. together with list of
frames from which committee of three
/ might be selected. Mr.. Williams has
Framed committee OF three that would
be satisfactory to him. In the mean
ltime the committee is Informed by the
men who are out that under no circun-
stances will they return to work in any
department under the piece-work sys-
ITEM: and we are also Informed by the
i railroad company's representative that
Under no circumstances will the com
pany deviate from its determination to
operate under the piece work plan.
Thus 1t appears to the committee, and
lin this both parties to the controversy
concur. that an investigation as to
minor details would be futile soalong as
this fundamental difference exists, since
neither party wish arbitration and prac-
tically declare no recommendation by
an investigating committee would alter
their purpose to hold out on this fun-
damental difference. piece work and no
piece work Whatever the finding of
the investigating committee might be,
the main issue would still exist.

Miss Danzelle's Balloon AscensfOns
and Descents at River View.

Miss DanzelIe's Balloon AscensfOns
and Descents at River View.
The balloon ascensions made by little
Miss Rita Danzelle, the young girl aero
naut of the Grace Shannon Balloon Com
pany, at River View Saturday and yes
terday. were witnessed on both days by
throngs from this city and from the coun-
try about River View, numbering fully 1000
persons. The imitation of the big bal
loon which carried the young lady into the
skies took place in the open air. and a
large number saw the operation and
watched the big white bag as 1t slowly
filled with gas generated by the fire be-
meath it. To make the fire hotter cans OF
coal oil and gasoline were thrown upon 1t
under the supervision of Col Ed. r. Hutch
inSon, who has been experimenting balloon
ascensions at River View for several years.
When fully inflated the balloon stood about
sixty feet high, and was about twenty
feet in diameter. 1t was held to the earth
by a ring of men and boys. Attached to
the bottom neck of the gas bag was the
parachute, and at it's lower end was the
ring on which Miss Danzelle sat as the
balloon arose. When everything was ready
Miss Danzelle took her place In the ring.
She is a pretty black-eyed young girl. She
was cool and unconcerned, and after sat
isfying herself that everything was as it
should be, she gave the signal and up in
the air she assembled until only a small
object could be seen hanging under the
balloon. On both ascensions she reached
an elevation of nearly 5000 feet. When as
high as the balloon will take her she cuts
her parachute loose For about twenty
seconds, that seem like minutes, the para
chute drops like a stone, then 1t slowly ex-
pands and the young lady floats safely to
earth.
Saturday afternoon she came down in
an open field just north Of River View.
Yesterday the northeasterly winds took
her over the river. and she fell in the wa
ter about mid channel, not far from the
picked her up and brought her ashore AS
she landed the waiting crowd cheered her
with enthusiasm. The balloon and para
chute were rescued from the river by
steam launch and brought to shore.
So successful have these ascensions been
that the services of the young lady have
been secured by Capt. e. 8. Randall to
make other ascensiOns on next Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
