PAssTHROUGH OTTUMWA
Two Young Women Who Started From
Windy City Almost Penniless and
Who Were in ottumwa for Short
time Reach Destination.

left Chicago few weeks ago with a
capital of forty-fve cents, have arriv-

ter making the trip half way across
the continent without getting money
from home The trip was made on a

The two young women passed
through Ottumwa not long ago and
passed the night here They were
having a rather hard time OF it when
they were here, and had hard luck
story to tell the people of Creston al
so. 1t was thought that their troubles
were ended however, when it was an
nounced that the Elks' lodge at Oma-
ha had furnished them with transpor-
tation on the railroads from Omaha to
San Francisco, but they must have
either sold the tickets over again or
lost them, for they reported on their
arrival at San Francisco that the
hardest part of their trip was between
Ogden, Utah. and the coast, as they
were compelled to beat their way on
the trains

oTTUMWAN INTERESTED.
o. j. Garriott is Said to Have Joined
Automobile Firm.

The Fort Madison Gem City is the
authority for the statement that o. j.
Garriott, of this city, formerly clerk
of the Wapello county district court,
has bought an interest in the De
Loura automobile factory at Ft. Mad
ison and will remove with his family
to that place in a short time. Moth
ing of the truth of the statement can
be learned in this city at this ime,
as Mr.. Garriott is now in Fort Maids
on, but it is thought that the story is
somewhat overdrawn and that Mr.
Garriott will remain in Ottumwa. The
De Loura factory, it will be remember
ed, is the one which Ottumwa barely
failed to get some time ago.
An Ottumwa man who has recently
returned from business trip to Ft.
Madison, states that the machinery is
being put in place in the automobile
factory, and that it is of the most
modern and approved styles. He also
says that the factory is admirably To-
Gated in the penitentiary city and the
residents of Fort Madison are well
pleased with the prospect.

TALK OVER COAL STRIKES.
Leaders of Mine Workers Act in Sew
eral Cases.

indianapolis, Ind, April 10.-The
National Executive Board of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, which
is meeting here, endorsed the local
strike in Michigan, the Hopkins Coun-
ty strike in Kentucky, and considered
the situations now existing in Indiana
and West Virginia.
The anthracite situation is being de-
liberated upon today. 1t is impossible
to forecast what the outcome of the
conference will be- That the miners
are determined to stand by their
anthracite men in their demands is
not to be doubted, however.
Trust to Civic Federation.
The national leaders will have faith
in the efficacy of the National Civic
federation to cope with the situation
and to concilitae the two interests,
and the full thirty days armistice
agreed to will be allowed before any
action is taken by the miners even in
case the negotiations fail.
The leaders of the miners here at
tach little Importance to the threat of
the operators in the Rochester-Pitts-
burg district to shut down their mines
for the summer rather than yield to
the miners demands.
The Michigan strike has been on
since April /, and affects about 5000
men in the Saginaw, ST. Charles and
West Bay district. The conference
recently held failed to reach an agree
ment and the national officers will try
to arrange another joint conference.
The Kentucky trouble dates hack
over a year, and the men have been
out all that time. 1t was decided to
send a committee of three of the
board members to Kentucky to attend
the joint conference of miners and
operators at Louisville on April 2S
with view of settling all the differ
ences in that state.
Trouble Likely in West Virginia.
That the miners anticipate strike
! in the West Virginia field is shown
by their decision not to make public
the date of the strike in case it be-
comes necessary to resort to that
method of securing the recognition OF
the union which is demanded The
first notice of it will be given in the
published directions to the miners,
| This action of the board is regarded
In some quarters as practically an
nouncing that the strike will surely
be ordered in the near future unless
the operators yield to the demands of
the union. That this will not be done
is regarded as certain, so that a strike
appears to be imminent. In case the
tieup is decided on it will affect in the
neighborhood of 10000 men.
