Marainsville, Polk Co., Iowa,
March 26, 1908.
Editor Courier: Part of the Eistedd-
fod committeeman met about three
weeks ago, and although they had a
hot time, they are ashamed to give us
a report The committeeman that put
in $500 towards the expense of print
ing, etc, received $500 in return. We
are getting tired of these failures, but
some people don't. You will see an
other program almost any time with
the same people.
Although there was a large attend
ance at the four meetings, and the
people were charged $1.25 each, and
some were changed the same for the
evening meeting alone. The ques-
ton is. where has the money gone.
and where is the report for the public?
A committee has been appointed to
meet at the Iowa hotel April l at 2
O'clock to arrange for an Eisteddfod
this year, and see if contest cannot
be carried on successfully. 1t will
be on the same principle as the Ma
tional Eisteddfod of Wales No tick
cts will be sold at the Kirhwood hotel,
on the trains nor at Oskaloosa. So
many tickets will be printed and put in
care of two men and sold at the door
that day and everything that is done
at all meetings, will be published in

Dear Sir: l wish to reply to an article
that was published ia you paper on
March is in regard to the con
troversy between the employees
and the employers of the Excelsior
Coal Co. 1t seems as if the dispute
between the miners and the company
has been misstated, inasmuch as Mr..
Sheppard insists on the men signing
an agreement which the miners or
their representatives had no voice in
making. The miners will sign an agree
ment allowing the company to retain
from their wages house rent, powder,
fuel. mining expenses. etc. and while
