Scranton, Pa, Aug. II. - District
President L. d. Nichols, Of the United

of the employers right to discharge for
any reason other than membership in
a labor union is the primal question
on which the board deadlOcked and
which required the appointment of an
umpire. The demand of the rock mems
union that its members share in the
award of the commission is the main
point of dispute, Nichols says.

City on the Verge of Anarchy.

A strike in the Gemmer Engine
works and the National Sweeper COM
pany's plant has been in progress for
two months, and the strikers have been
congregating around the plants each
evening and insulting the non-union
men employed by the two companies.
The employers council protested, but
the police board refused to stop the
assembling of the strikers and their
sympathizers and the city was on the
verge of anarchy.
Employers Appeal to the Governor.
The employers council then appealed
to the governor for protection, and he
sent for the police commissioners to
come here for a conference. The eX-
ecutive made it plain that the manu-
facturers must be protected in their
legal rights. and that organized labor
had no better license to disturb the
peace of the city than any other class
of citizens. One OF the commission
ers declared that lie would rather re-
sign than do the bidding of the en-
PAOs SOuhNii, tnC
was far from satisfactory to the ex-
ecutive.
Sent IN Investigation Down,
The next day he sent Adjutant Gen
eral Perry to Marion to investigate,
and when the officer made his report
it was to the effect that the police COM
missioners had made no attempt to
prevent demonstrations on the part of
the labor unions, and that the city
had been daily on the verge of riot
ing. This report convinced the gov
ernor that the board had failed to do
its duty, and removals were decided
upon. Reardon, the labor representa-
tive on the board, is the first to go,
and he has been replaced by rep
resentative of the business interests
of the city.
Executive Policy in Such Cases.
1t is stated at the governors Office
that the executive has fixed policy
in such cases, and that hereafter po-
lice boards in the cities will be expect
ed to enforce the law and protect the
people in their rights against organ
lied labor, as well as against all other
offenders.

CONFIRMS TITLE OF STATE.
Government Ruling Regarding Min
nesota Swamp Lands.
Territory Lies In Cass Lake Indian
Reservation and II Valued 1t
Several Hundred Thousands.

st. Paul, Dec. 23.-By q ruling OF the
United States department Of the interior,
which has just been announced, the
state of Minnesota is confirmed in its
title to swamp lands in the Cass Lake
Indian reservation, which are valued at
several hundred thousand dollars
The state based it's claim to title in
these lands upon the swamp land act OF
1860, and, therefore, contended that they
were not properly included in the
treaty Of 1864, whereby certain territory
embracing the lands in question was
set apart as an Indian reservation, OF
subject to the act Of 1889 to dispose OF
the reservation for the benefit of the In
dams.
The claim of the state was presented
to the interior department last October
by Auditor S. G. Iverson in a brief drawn
by Attorney Douglass. The case was re-
ferred to Judge Frank L. Campbell, as
sistant attorney general for the interior
department, who on December re-
turned to Secretary Hitchcock an opin-
ion in favor of the state. This opinion
was at once approved by Secretary
Hitchcock, and thereby became effective.
Many Of the tracts of land claimed by
the state were included in the lists from
which timber is to be sold at Cass lake
December 5 and %, and after this de
cision of the department OF the int
rior 1t became necessary that those
pieces should be claimed from the lists

IOWA STATE NEWS
PURE FOOD LAW.
lows Board OF Agriculture Has q Bill
to Present to the Legislature
