DIDN'T WANT TO STRIKE. ;
Witness Before Strike Commission
Tells of Desire of Steam Men to
Keep at Work.

Philadelphia, Jan. 21.-The Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad
company continued to call witnesses
before the coal strike commission
Tuesday in opposition to the demands
of the striking mine workers. John j.
McAndrews, of Scranton, a hosting
engineer at the Diamond mines of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western,
was the first witness called. He said
the engineers, firemen and pumpmen
of the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern district No. were unanimously
opposed to going on strike.
Counsel and the commission got into
an argument over the rights of union
and, nonunion men. The miners coun-
sci said the union man had the right to
refuse to work with nonunion men and
also refuse to deliver cars to him.
"Then an employer has the right to
refuse. to employ union labor?" said
Chairman Gray.
Certainly" replied Mr.. barrow.
A recess was then taken.

through the country in such proper
lions that we may determine the
composition of congress, we ask in
all sincerity whose fault it is if we
do not secure remedial legislation.
1t is our own. Let us burn that into
the minds and consciences of every
mine worker in this country-then
we will get our rights.
"If we expect to secure relief,
every laboring man must act. Not
by denouncing the courts, or those
who issue injunction, but to demand
OF our representatives in congress to
know where they stand with refer
ence to the growing evil of govern
ment by Injunction
"a bill covering our demands
should be drawn, and then insist that
it must be enacted with every vital
feature embodied and that politics
will positively be thrown aside in
considering the record Of every can
didate for congress on this question:"

THE COAL FAMINE.
Situation Is Growing Serious In lows
Factories Closed In Many Cities
and Others Likely to Close.

~
The coal famine in Iowa outside OF
Des Moines and other mining centers
is becoming more serious. Orders re-
ceived by Des Moines operators are
concluded in pleading terms and tell
of business losses and of suffering for
want of fuel. A number Of towns have
reported that they are entirely out OF
coal and the number Of factory plants
closed down for want of fuel is In
creasing. From nearly every town Of
consequence in the state reports Of
this kind have been received, accom-
panied by hurry-up orders. In. many
instances it has been found that coal
destined for these points and loaded
at the mines has not arrived, and in
vestigation has shown that it has been
confscated by railroad companies.

Hunting season Closed.

Hunting Season Closed.
The hunting season in Iowa has
closed. 1t opened September 1. 1t was
the poorest in the history of the state,
except with respect to ducks. They
were more plentiful than for many
years, owing to the fact that the last
season was so wet that all the ponds
held water. The prairie chicken crop
was practically nothing, the only
shooting of interest being in the
northern tier of counties. Iowa hunt
ers depended on Minnesota for this
sport. The quails were almost alto
gether drowned out by the very wet
weather. Rabbits are plentiful this
year. but the sport is restricted to.
those who supply the market. The
sportsmen of the state will make an
effort to get the next legislature to
pass the law once before proposed to
prohibit duck hunting in the spring,
and they believe that if this can be
done it will insure good sport every
fall for many years to come. A hunt
ers' license law will be urged also.
Important Decision.
Former Supreme Judge Given, now
on the district bench in this county.
has construed the new inebriety law
on a point which has formed the basis
of an appeal to the supreme court in
former cases. He has decided that the
statute is not one of the criminal code,
but is wholly reform measure passed
by the legislature in charity. His de-
cision is regarded as significant, as his
long experience on the supreme bench
leads lawyers to believe that the doc
trine he has announced most likely is
that which the supreme court will fol-
low when the inebriacy appeal reaches
it. The appeal was made on the
ground that the statute is a part of
the criminal code of the state and that
before person could be sent to the
hospital for inebriety he must be tried
by a jury, instead of judgment being
rendered in the matter by the court
alone.
Prixe-Ffghting Law.
The Lister anti-prize fighting law
seems destined to become imperative
in Iowa after actually preventing
fistic encounters, even for points, =
during about three years. Several
bouts have been pulled off" in Du.
buque recently, according to the news
paper reports, and others are being ar.
ranged in some of the cities which dc
not object to that sort of thing. Soon
after the Lister law went into effect
July 4, 1900. a prize fight was adver.
tised in Dubuque, and Gov. Shaw
promptly announced that he woule
send the militia there to stop it ii
necessary. 1t did not come off. Of
course, the governor had no technica
right to interfere until called upon by
the local authorities.

Coal Dealers Blacklisted.
When the coal famine began in Des
Moines one or two dealers and several
of the haulers who do scalping bust
ness, pushed the price up in some in
stances as high as $3.50. The Coal
Operators association, which controls
every mine in the county, held meet
r ing as soon as the fact was ascertained
and blacklisted these dealers and ha ul-
ers. The result was that the latter
were unable to buy local coal, and their
business had to be done exclusively on
coal shipped into the county, a pre-.
carious sort of business because of the
great demand elsewhere, making it inn
possible for outside mines to Ship into
q county which has 80 mines Of its own.
The Polk county association, as soon
as the famine was in sight, fixed the
price of coal at three dollars a ton,
apd pledged itself to the people that
coal would not be permitted to 90
above this figure. The purpose is to
keep coal at three dollars whatever
the price offered by consumers. The
result is that man couldas easily pro-
cure ton of coal in Des Moines for
three dollars as he could for ten dol
lars.
Next G. A. n. Encnmpment.
The plan of holding the next grand
army encampmentin Iowa the second
week in May was devised for the pur-
pose of securing the attendance here
of Commander in Chief Stewart. The
same dates have been selected by Illi-
nois veterans, and it was thought by
the Iowa committee that the com
mander in chief would be more likely
to make the trip west if he could visit
two. encampments than if he had but
one to visit. 1t is we'll understood
that he expects to visit the one in Illi-
nois, in any event. The encampment
will be held this year at Cedar Rapids,
and the dates areselected by Adit. Gen.
Newman and other members OF the
executive committee. Col. Z. B. Ray
mond, Of Hampton. has no opposition
for department commander this year.

Tota.


AS predicted BY most people, Albert
Phillips and Louis Brooks escaped
death by the action of the supreme
court in ordering new trials for them
in Buena Vista county. They had been
sentenced to hang December is, last,
for the murder of officers and people
who were in a posse pursuing them be-
cause they had robbed bank at
Greenyille. Three residents of Buena
Vista county were killed by them.
The supreme court, interfered with
their hanging, and the new trial, which
; is the history in criminal cases in this
state, resulted in a verdict of life i'm
prisonment only. At the stsession of
the legislature seven murderers were
pardoned, so that the lawyers for Phil
lips and Brooks count that there is a
|. fair chance for their entire escape
from punishment after few years.
To Extend Tracks.
The management of the state fair
has made arrangements FOR the extern
sion of the Chicago Great Western rail-
road tracks from the main line in this
city, mile and a quarter, to the fair
grounds The purpose is to afford fa-
cilities for shipping in exhibits. Here
tofore the Rock Island has had a mo-
nopoly Of the business, but the exhibits
last year were so large that the Rock
Islands side tracks would not accom-
modate all the cars. The fair manage
ment and the street car management
of this city also have reached anagree-
ment by which the latter will erect a
permanent depot within the fair
grounds SO that persons travelling te
and from the grounds and to and from
the city will be taken a quarter Of q
mile nearer the center of interest thar
formerly.
