Special to Times Republican
Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 26.-The un-
ion labor and Iowa labor and Iowa ma
terials problems before che Iowa COM
missioners on the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton are difficult for the commission.
Nearly every member of the commits
sion was pledged to see that Iowa la
Dor and material wente into the build
ing and that only union labor should
be employed by the contractor who
gets the contract. But the COM
mission did not feel that it could af-
ford to put that into the specificati tons
and requirements and did not do so.
To have done so would have shut out
some of the bidders and might have
prevented a fair competition. But the
building committee has been success
full in securing an agreement from the
lowest bidder that he will use Iowa
labor and materials and union labor.
This will be reported to the commits
sion when 1t meets. The lowest bid
der was E. w. Nichols & CO., of Des
Moines. The firm has been doing bus
mess here about four years. The COM
mission feels that it is fortunate that
the lowest bidder is firm which has
been working in very close relation
ship to the architects of the building
who will also superintend it's conssruc-
ton. The firm came here about four
years ago and one member lives in
Creston. The commission will let the
contract soon for the building.

MAY NOT SEND TROOPS.
Iowa Guard Not Likely to Participate
In Exposition Dedication.

Des Moines, Feb. 26.--It begins to
look doubtful whether any Iowa troops
will be sent to st. Louis to participate
in the dedication ceremonies on April
80. Adjutant General Byers returne
yesterday from st. Louis, where he
went to ascertain what arrangements
Were made for the care OF troops by tho
exposition management. He was not at
all satisfied with what he learned, and
unless preparations are made to shelter
end feed the men in some satisfactory
way he is averse to letting the Iowa
guard go to the dedication.
General Byers says the worlds fair
management is expecting about $4,000
troops to take part in the dedication,
but it is making no preparation to take
care of these troops. There are no mill
tary men on the commission at ST.
Louis and they do not seem to UNDER
stand the magnitude of the task of
sheltering and feeding vast body of
soldiers. When General Byers pointed
out the serious nature of the PROPOSE
ton bsfore them the directors held Il
meeting, and the indications now are
that they will act General Byers in
formed them that If they expected to
make adequate preparation for so many
soldiers there was no time to lose. He
asked to be made acquainted with the
plans for the care of the troops when
they We're perfected. ard unless they
are satisfactory he will advise against
letting the Iowa troops go. There is a
strong feeling among guard officers that
they want no repetition of their expert
ence at the Chicago expos: ton, and they
want to know just what provisions ara
made for them before going. Adjutant
General Byers is opposed to letting the
worlds fair management provided the
meals for the soldiers, and takes the
ground that each soldier should be all
lowed 60 cents day for rations If this
Is done, the companies .,sn easily take
along their cooks and provide their
own rations
