OFFICE is ABOLISHED.
The Sale of Revenue Stamps in This
City Has Ceased.

S'SJ SCdoSds
lFrom Wednesdays DailyI
AS an entire surprise and very de-
cldedly against the desire of many in
terested people in Ottumwa, the rev.
enue commission at Washington,
through Collector ]. M. Kemble of
burlington, today discontinued the
revenue office at this city, and E. L.
kilby, who for several months has
had charge of the local office, was
notified today by Collector Kemble in
letter. tits possible that if an effort
Is made by the citizens the revenue de-
partment will re-establish the office at
Ottumwa, and this fact was mentioned
by Mr.. kemble in his letter to Mr.. Kill
by. Several people who have been
notified of the action have expressed
themselves as much surprised and dis
appointed, as Ottumwa is one of the
most important places in the state and
should, 1t is thought, have a revenue
Office by all means.
Did Big Business.
The business done in the local reve-
nue. ONCE during its existence has been
greater than those not acquainted with
the affairs in connection with it would
believe. The aggregate annual re-
celpts have been about $4,000 and
from that have run up to about S4O,-
600. Last month there was a $4,000
bushes done. The expense attached
is but $500 a year, and although the
cutting off of the Office cuts off Just
$500 In the expenses of the department
owing to the fact that the stamps
must be bought anyway, the big bust
ness, 1T seems to those interested,
should entitle the people of this city
to an Office for their accommodation
The only stamps sold now to any
extent, are those used on cigars and
liquors, and as Ottumwa is one of the
foremost cigar manufacturing cities in
the state, having upwards of twenty
factories, some of them large ones, the
value of the stamps used in this line
alone aggregates a large amount. Then
there are several places where the Ii
quor stamps are required
Since the revenue Office has been
discontinued the local dealers in the
article which must be stampd will
have to send to Burlington for their
supply. This, it is feared, will work
considerable disadvantage to the
smaller manufacturers of cigars, as
they must get the stamps in larger
quantities from Burlington than was
necessary here, and this will require
a bigger outlay of money, which is a
scarce article in small cigar factory.
Will Take Action.
Although no action has been com
menced as yet, those interested will
very soon address a petition to Con-
gresham Lacey, H. o. Weaver of Wa
pello, the new collector in Mr.. KEN
ble's place, and perhaps others who
may have influence with the depart
ment, and it is hoped that the efforts
to secure the establishment of the
office at Ottumwa will prove success

closing as many plants, by the intro
duction of modern machinery, they
have been able to greatly enlarge
their production. The simple facts
are these: The combination of bust
ness interests has displaced large
number of laborers, thus making it
possible for the employers to hire
men at reduced wages, with an in
creased amount of work, and because
the workers are unorganiZed they
must accept this injustice. How can
they ever protect themselves against
further encroachments so long as
they do not stand together and act as
one man with but one thought, the adj
Yancement of all?

NO STRIKE IN low A
Edwin Perry Says Miners Of State
are Opposed to it.
HE is VICE PRESIDENT OF UNION
Was in ottumwa Today Enroute to
Chicago to Attend Important Con-
ference of Miners OfficaIs-Reese
and Mitchell Will Also Be There.

Edwin Perry, of Oskaloosa, vice
president of District No. 13 of the
United Mine Workers of America, who
was in Ottumwa today enroute to a
conference Of the leaders Of his union
at Chicago. stated to Courier repre-
sentative that the miners of Iowa will
not enter upon a sympathetic strike to
aid the anthracite miners of the east
in their attempt to gain higher wage.
Although our sympathies are with
the strikers" said Mr.. Perry in explain
alton of his statement, "the great ma
jority Of the miners of Iowa realize
that they cannot afford to take an &C
tive part in the strike, and since the
majority rules Iowa stands as unit
against extending the strike to the BIZ
luminous coal regions.
'The conference at Chicago will be
attended by the prominent men in the
union, including President John P.
Reese, who went to Chicago last night
from his home in Abba, National
President John Mitchell, who has left
his work in the east long enough to be
present, and several others. The ques-
ton of a sympathetic strike may be
discussed as one of the phases of the
big strike, but feel sure that even if
the matter comes to vote the miners
of this part of the country will stay to-
gether and will prove to the anthracite
men that it would be an injustice to
us to vote a strike upon us against the
will of our majority
Mr.. Perry is one of the most level
headed men in the Iowa miners I'M
ion. He has been vice-president for
some years and for years he has given
all his spare time to the careful study
of the labor question in all its varied
forms. He is unionist from head to
foot and has at all times the interest
of his order at heart. However, judg-
ing from his statement, he is of the
opinion that is held by President
Reese and other prominent miners, as
well as T. j. Phillips and many Iowa
operators This is, in word, that the
relations existing between the miners
and the operators of Iowa are OF such
a nature that it would be folly for the
former to take stand against their
employers on sympathetic basis.
Mr.. Perry's interview is consider
ably like that of President John P.
Reese, who made statement to the
Courier recently in answer to an al
legged interview with him had by a
Chicago newspaper reporter. Both of
these men, the two highest officials in
the United Mine Workers of Iowa, say
that there will be no strike in this
state and their sentiments are echoed
by over half of the miners of the
state

kEMBLE NOT BITTER.
Revenue Collector Says He Is Glad to
Give Up the Office.

Revenue Collector John NJ Kemble,
with headquarters at Burlington,ab
whom the Couriers Washington dis
patches have dealt, has no censure for
the Iowa delegation which decided to
recommend for appointment III. o.
Weaver, Of Wapello, for Mr.. Kemble's
place, judging from an interview print
ed in a Burlington newspaper this
morning. Mr. Kemble said:
Upon the whole I am glad that the
end is drawing near l have had four,
in the main, very pleasant years of it,
Ny relations with the public and with
the department have been of the most
pleasant character. But have other
matters to attend to which require my
time and attention.
Il am highly gratified over the ap-
probation that our Office has won in
Washington But few days ago
was officially notified that our Office
was one of the very best and second
to none in the country. Its work has
received the warmest commentator
from the highest sources. We have a
splendid lot of people. There is no
better general deputy in the United
States than Fred Poor, and George
Kriechbaum is one of the very best
bookkeepers in the service. Mr..
Kriechbaum and Miss Smyth are en-
ployed under the civil service rules.
The other members of the Office force
are all first-class people and ought to
be retained.
81 suppose that any time after July
20, after we get the rebates straighten-
ed out, the office can be turned over
with the least degree of inconvenience
to anyone. l shall then go to my farm
ter upon new enterprise which have
had in view for some time"
