80. The blacksmiths have been offered
a per cent increase. according to the
different classes Of fires. They want
about 40 cents a day more. and the
company offers 90. The blacksmiths
helpers. according to the different
classes of fires. asks for 25 cents raise
and they have been offered from 10
ermakers', machinists' and tinsmiths
have asked for an increase of 25 cents
The boilermakers' helpers have been
offered 15-cent increase, and the
machinists' and tinsmiths' 10 cents
varying, of course, to the different
classes of work.
The men claim that they should re-
ceive the same wages that are being
paid in the larger shops of trunk lines
They cite the Illinois Central. and make
their comparisons to that road. Tha
management, on the other hand. claims
that the comparison can not be made
with larger road, and if it were with
roads OF the Iowa Centra!'s class, with
similar earning capacity, the men
would have no kick coming. Mr.. Brooke
says that the schedule offered here is
identically the same as that paid in the
NJ. & st. l.. shops at Cedar Lake, Mimi,
and that the men here are 10 cents bet
ter off even at that, because nearly
every employee in those shops pays 10
cents car fare each day. The Illinois
Central is the only road that has
granted larger increase than the
Iowa Central is now offering, its equal
lied rates for the different shops of the
system being about per cent. The
Northwestern and Rock Islands will
probably be higher. but that should be
expected, for they are also trunk lines.
Mr.. Brooke says that the Iowa Cen
trails wages, as offered, will equal or
exceed ali the roads south of Marshall
town and at Peoria with which It
makes connections. The Big Four at
Peoria. is the only one that equals in
payment what he has offered the men.
The men appear to be very we'll
pleased with the manner in which Mr..
Brooke has presented the manage
ment's case before them. They say that
he has not attempted to beat around
the bush at all. but has stated plainly
just what he could do for them. 1t Is
thought that when the final answer is
given the arrangement will be such
that no strike will be probable.

Iowa Central Shopmen Are
Holding Out For Higher In
creases Than Offered
INNER CONFERENCES ARE HELD
Machinists and HIaeksmiths Meet Fri
day Night to Discuss the Situation
Among Themselves, and Helpers Will
Meet Tonisht-The Schedule as Pro-
posed, and What the Men Ask.

The differences between the Iowa
Central management and the men en-
ployed In the different branches of the
shops in this city are not yet settled
and the new schedule is as yet I'M
adopted. The new schedule, as pro-
posed, was submitted by Superinten-
dent OF Machinery and Equipment
George D. Brooke Friday night. The
wages offered are not as high as the
men have demanded, and they are
holding out. 1t is said that the limit
has been reached il the advances made
on behalf of the management, and
Just what the termination will be is
hard to foresee. 1t is not thought, how
ever. that a strike will result, but that
rather the men will decide to accept
the schedule as offered by Mr.. Brooke.
Mr.. Brooke has offered practically
per cent increase to the different
branches Of skilled labor in the shops,
but the men asks an increase equal to
about IA per cent. Three years ago the

ago. voluntarily raised the wages /
cent. or 271a. Last year a further
Increase was demanded and. when re-
fused, the men struck. A compromise
was effected after the men were out two
weeks, and the schedule called for a
2-cent raise, or 2s1s cents. The ma
chinists now want 1914 cents an hour,
which Is equivalent to a raise of about
IL per cent. Mr.. Brooke has offered
them 31la, an increase of 2 cents an
hour 20 cents day, or per cent over
the schedule that expired on July /.

not be utilized owing to the rain. the
governor delivered his address, speak

from the veranda of the main building.
AS the hour was so late and many

Have the Action Dismissed For Sub

Fixed at $500 and 5000.

Seventh avenue the father and son who
were arrested a month ago Friday
upon charge of assault with intent
to commit murder, We're held to the
grand jury Friday afternoon at the
conclusion of the states evidence, Civ
en- at their preliminary hearing. The
bonds were reduced to $500 for w. l..
Slaves. and 5000 for the son. This was
done because the victim of their as
sault, Nj. A. Fisher, a Des Moines Reg
lister and Leader circulator and coll
lector, is in no danger of losing his
life. which was feared at the time of
the assault.
Slaves and his son are accused of
numerically beating Fisher during a
quarrel that occurred on Bromley street
on the morning of June 10. The best
of feeling had not prevailed between
Slaves and the Des Moines newspaper
management for some time, because
Slaves had not been able to have his
paper stopped, as he claims he had so
ordered. The elder Slaves, according
to the states evidence at the pre-
liminary, stabbed Fisher with jack
knife, and the young man struck him
in the head with a Ratchet, inflcting a
bad wound.
Fisher, who was the principal witness
for the state. was on the stand for
some little time after the noon re-
cess in Justice Burritt's court, and his
cross examination concluded. officer
Cha rlar IJi1r1 of the city notice force
was also used as witness, to prove the

The rainfall during Friday after
Moons storm was heavy, especially
when the length of the storm is con-
sidered. The precipitation was 1.25
inches. The maximum temperature for
the twenty-four hours ending at Z
o'clock this morning was Sc; minimum,
63.
While the heavy wind that accom-
panied the storm did not do much dam
age. in the city. some is reported from
the country districts. Small grain was
affected in places, and oats and hay are
reported as being down. Some stands
of corn were also damaged slightly.
The oats, it is thought will straighten
out again without much difficulty, ex-
cepting where the grain is ripened.
About the only damage in the city was
to telephone wires, which were badly
crossed. A number of the rural lines
are down.
The railroads suffered slight delays
as the result of the rain. A small
piece of Central track at the north end
of the New Sharon yards ON the new

pretty badly washed. The water reach

WISH HIM WELL.

The news that Col W. L Pitcher win leave Skagway within the next week, probably not Co return, will cause general regret among the eiti' lens Of this city. Though he has been herel,omc time less than year, Col Pitcher has been identified with every thing that has counted for the welfare of the community Co such an extent that our people have looked upon him as one of them.
 Few of our citizens have done so much as Col Pitcher has during the last eight months for the public good He had hardly arrived before he had assisted in che organization Of the fire department, causing the formation oi one hose team from the troops under his command. and otherwise coutribut- ing to the enicieucy of che fire lighting force of the town. And from that day to the present, he has not only willing ly eo-operated with the citizens when ever called upon. but has always been ready Co suggest idea, and Co counsel with the citizens.
 The people of Skagway will always wish Col. Pitcher we'll and no matter where his duties may take him, many Skagway friends will follow his career with interest. and rejoice with him in each success he may achieve.

BOYS BACK
Skagwoy B4seblll Players
 Given Welcome.

The Skagway contingent in the All White Pass ball team returned from Dawson last night. They were heart fly greeted by the people of Skagway and were given a chance to tell how it all happened.
 While Capt. Eddie Barry and most Of his players are reticent as to the treat ment accorded them by the Dawson league, Jerry Quinlan aud others who came out with them say that the com plaints that have already been heard in this city were more than justified. It is agreed that the Civil Service baseball team played its own men, who were good and fair sportsmon. Also, it is said, the Gandolfos played all the mon they had, and only borrowed enough to make up their nine; but it is said most of their nine played with all the other teams. In fact, Skagway was playing against picked team each night, instead of the regular league teams.
 In addition to doubling up on them, the claim is made that the umpire was decidedly unfair, giving to Dawson all close decisions when coming at time that the result Of the game was at stake on the decision. All the boys say that fair umpire would have given them at least three out of the five games.
 Every member of the team has naught but good words for the manner in which they were treated by the members of the Civil Service baseball team and by the citizens of Dawson. The Civil Service boys gave them a banquet on Saturday evening, at which all the officials of Dawson were pres ent.
 The w. P. X Y. R. team presented its share of the proceeds from the grandstand at the game last Monday to the Sisters hospital
