Editor Courier:-Being confident
that you as well as your numerous
readers are believers in fair play" to
everybody and noticing some clippings
in your paper that might be derogatory
to the interest of one of the brightest
young men of this district and to or
ganized labor, we concluded that a few
words in defense of organized labor
in general would be in order. The
Montezuma republican says, who is
John P. Reese? He is only presi-
dent of miners union or walking
delegate" Others say what could he
do to help the miners If elected? Now
there is latent sarcasm in the ques-
ton asked by that Montezuma man
that is beneath the contempt of all
honorable and intelligent men. The
American citizen that makes his liy-
ing and tries to educate his family by
working in a coal mine is entitled to
just as much Of the good things of
this life, including needful legislation
as is the editor of the Republican or
any other man and the terms walking
delegate, labor agitator and dema-
gogue have long ago become obsolete
in the minds of right thinking men.
There never was man who had talk
en- the lead or who has attained to
any prominence in trying to help la
Dor but who has had one or all of
these sepithets applied to him at some
time and had it not been for their eff

MAY LOSE FACTORY.
De Loura Automobile Plant May Move
From Fl. Madison to Perry.


!. Reports are current in Ft Madison
that the automobile factory, located
in that city after several months nego-
tiations with the business men of OF
tumwa with the view to establishing
his plant here, will in all probability
be moved from that city to Perry.
Judging from the accounts that have
reached this city concerning this plant
it seems that there has been consider
able misunderstanding between the
citizens of that place and Mr.. De
Loura. The situation as it is viewed
in FIT. Madison is given in the Daily
Gem City as follows:
Fort Madison's prospects of keep
ing the automobile factory seem to
dwindle little at time, till they are
getting very slim Reports were at
first to the effect, that Mr.. De Loura
was going to move his establishment
to Burlington, but now indications
point toward his moving to Perry. Mr..
De Loura went to Perry Saturday
where it is said he has relatives, and
other citizens of that city, who have
offered him inducements to move his
factory there. 1t is thought by some
that he will accept, and mSas tae last
Of the year. Ever since the, factory
came here it seems as though there
was general mix up in the state
of affairs. He came here with the
agreement that should hestay here ten
years the building which he now oc-
cupies would be decided to him, other
wise he was to receive nothing from
the Business Mems association. Some
say that men of this city have offered
to form partnership with Mr.. De
Loura and assist in furnishing capital
for the works, but that Mr.. De Loura
will not concede any of his patent
rights or other things which would be
an inducement to partner Some
thing should be done in order to hold
| this factory here, but of course, should
he fail to fulfill his contract in regard
to the number of men employed OF
other matters, it will be OF no bene
| fit to u.s.

same spirit of fair play existed in this
