ELECTRICIANS MAY STRIKE.
Result of Discharge Of Employees o
Iowa Telephone Company.

Result of Discharge of Employees of.
Iowa Telephone Company.
From Saturdays Daily.
A strike is threatened by the cleo
trical workers employed by the Iowa
Telephone Co., in this city, as the re-
suit of the discharge this morning by
F. L. Schuyler, superintendent of the
Ottumwa branch of the company, OF
the four men who constituted a COM
mittee which about three weeks ago
presented to the representatives of the
company a scale of wages, somewhat
higher than the one under which the
electrical workers had been working.
Seven electrical workers have been
in the employ of the company and the
discharge of the four this morning
leaves but three. Whether these
three will leave the employ of the
concern as the result of the action of
the company, through its officers at
Davenport, is not now known, but it
will no doubt be decided tomorrow,
when the four aggrieved men will
meet the grievance committee of the
Trades and Labor assembly. This
meeting will be held at Labor hall at
2:30 tomorrow afternoon.
The Men Discharged.
The four men who received their
discharge this morning were on a COM
mittee which three weeks ago present
ed their proposed scale to the com
pany's representatives for signatures.
They claim that no attention was paid
by the company to the matter SO far
as proposing a meeting to talk the
proposition over is concerned, but they
were simply discharged from the SER
vice of the concern. They Ire: Thos.
Tracey, John Ford, J. M. Gibbs and w.

Superintendent is Silent.
Superintendent Schuyler, when ask
ed for a statement of the company's
side of the question, refused to be in
terviewed further than to say that the
men were discharged in accordance
with orders issued from the headquar-
tiers of the Iowa Telephone Co., at
Davenport.

ELECTRIC LINE HELPS FARMERS.
Interesting Article Regarding Interur.
ban Railways.

HH.s 'HHNN. .rrH.
Some time in the future, exactly
when one would be scarcely justified
in predicting Ottumwa may have an
interurban line running to Oskaloosa
or some other point. Ii so, the Wap-
clio county farmer will be benefited
and the following article from the
Rockford, ILL.,, Gazette will be of inter.
est:
81 have been asked many times
how l likes the electric cars running
along the side of my farm and did l
consider them a benefit OF a damage.
I wish to say that no man who OWNS a
farm and lives on it can realize the
great advantage it is to have an inter-
urban electric road running along his
farm every hour. 1t is without a doubt
the greatest benefit he has ever known
and practically places the farmer right
in town. So well satisfied was | when
the matter was first talked of regard
ing the Rockford, Beloit and GAINESVILLE
%interurban road, that when I was ap-
preached for the right-of-way along
my farms, which would take a strip of
land off the farm SO feet wide the
length of the farm, that said at nee
they could have the land for nothing
and would then be well paid. Yet |
never realized until the road was built
and cars running what a benefit it
would be to me as a farmer. With my
telephone and morning delivery of the
mail, | am better situated than if l
lived in town, having about all of the
benefits of the city and none of its
disadvantages. If n wishes to att
tend a lecture in Rockford or Beloit,

or go to the opera house Of to
church, he is but 20 or 80 minutes
from the city. If one has sickness a
telephone message and the next car
brings you what you order. Yes Sir,
the electric road with us is a neces-
sity and a check for $4,000 would be
no temptation to have it taken away.
To my farm it is worth $40 per acre
benefit, and one farm on this line has
sold for $50 per acre more than the
man asked for it before the road was
built. This is my opinion of the in
terurban railway. A. j.. L~ovejoy,"

if such a strike is declared as a result
of tomorrow's meeting, may be as far
reaching as was the strike of the tele-
phone girls in Des Moines a few
months ago. The Electrical Workers
union, to which the local men belong,
is a strong labor organization, and has
branches in all the principal cities of
the state. II these men strike they
will have the advantage of their or
%ganization. which vas not enjoyed by

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. I'll

and the president of the National
Guard association made a fitting re-
Spouse.
President Roosevelt then spoke Of
the merits of the bill. He expressed
the hope that no president ever would
be confronted by such an emergency
as would render it necessary for him
to avail himself of the services of the
troops provided for in the bill, but
congratulated the committee and the
country on the enactment, and said he
regarded the citizen soldiery of the
nation as most important factor in
the protection of the country. The
president gave the pen with which he

SENATORS DECRY TARIFF
Continued From First Page.

introduced in the senate yesterday
morning by Senator Lord, of Dodge.
Earlier in the session Senator Will
son, of Hennepin, introduced a bill to
again bring the tax amendments de-
feated at the last election before the
voters. Senator Lords bill, while diff
ferlng from the Hennepin senators
measure, is intended not to do away
with once defeated amendments, but
as compromise.
The Dodge county senator's amend
ments are practically the amendments
suggested by the tax commission. At
the special session of the legislature
these amendments were considered in
the report of the commission, but were
dropped to make place for other
amendments prepared by the judiciary
committee.
Senator Wilson has introduced the
Judiciary committees amendments,
and Senator Lord has also forwarded
the amendments prepared by the COM
mission for the consideration of the
legislature.
\ MY BILL" explained Senator Lord,
lis practically the amendments pre-
pared by the tax commission. 1t is
not introduced to delay the considera-
ton of Senator Wilson's bill, but in
hope that some compromise can be
reached"
