AFTER N. G. N. w. RAILROAD.
Proposition Is Made To Hamilton
Brown,

Des Moines, july 24.-The newly
formed triumvirate. composed of the
Illinois Central, Minneapolis Il ST
Louis apd Iowa Central, is after
another valuable Iowa railroad that
will give it through st. Louis, Sioux
City and Sioux Falls connection with
the shortest line between these points
if the statements of a local ra;lro1d
man can be believer.
A definite proposition is said to have
been made Hamilton Brown of Boone,
president of the Newton & Northwest,
ern, for the entire road running from
Newton to Rockwell City. The line
runs directly between these two
points, giving the appearance Of hav
ing been constructed purpose.y for the
Minneapolis & st. Louis, Iowa Cent.
raj and Illinois Central.
Mr.. Brown and Mr.. MeserTcy have
been comforting with indirect agents
of the three big roads regarding the:I
purchase.
The line will give the Minneapolis
& st. Louis flyer a shorter distance
between Minneapolis and st. Louis by
thirty miles. There is no road in the
state that can parallel the service be-
tween Sioux Falls S. D., Sio,.X City,
Iowa, and st. Louis If established.
The Iowa Central has already built
its spur north to Newton from Oska
loosa. There is not an inch Of road
to build to open up this mammoth
new field. S. T. Meservey in a recent
interview in this city said the Rock
Islands road from Metz to Newton
would not be used by the Newton &
Northwestern. Mr.. Meservey said the
Rock Island would not buy the read.
These facts are taken as conclusive
proof that the Iowa Central and two
other roads in conjunction will COB
BILE up another piece of road as they
did the Des Moines & Fl. Dodge.

REBELS DRIVEN
FROM BOLIVAR

Soledad, Venezuela, Tuesday, July
21-(By boat from Ciudad Bolivar)
-Ciudad Bolivar was captured at IL
o'clock last night after fifty-two hours
of desperate struggle and horrible
carnage, during which great courage
was shown on both sides. The Jail
and the capitol were the centers of
the most severe fighting and many
men were killed or wounded there.
When those places were captured only
few blocks behind the capitol re-
manned to be taken. At midnight the
fusilade ceased and the silence of
death reigned all the rest of the night
over the city. ~ ~
No adequate idea can be cabled Of
the scene which Ciudad Bolivar pre-
sents. The city appears to have been
swept by a cyclone, accompanied by
confiagration.

following is a copy of the official tele-
gram sent by General Gomez, COM
mander-in-chief of the Venezuelan

cent events:

hours death struggle we re-occupied
the city. The result of our victory is

in the telephone Office at Denison, of
which her brother, Alfred Larsen, is

been instructed by Salt Lake officers
to watch her and not allow her to
leave that city.

reached Denison for the arrest of the

fled. She probably walked from Deni

WONDERFUL GROWTH
OF ORGANIZED LABOR
Two Hundred applications a Month to
the A. r. Of L. for Union Charters
Reports Secretary Morrison
More Than 100000
Members

Washington, Sept 10.-Probably the
most interesting contribution to this
years Labor day literature was a re-
s1ort' which wa s: ma e public Monday
by Secretary Frank Morrison of the
American Federation Of Labor, that
great trade union organization which
now includes in it's membership nine
tenths Of the whole organized forces of
labor.
Organized labor is product of
America, and just century has been
consumed in it's growth to it's present
vast proportions. The earliest known
trade union composed of journeymen
was the New York Society of Journey
men Shipwrights, which was legally
incorporated in 1903.
Labor's first fight was for a ten hour
day, and this was won when, in 1910,
President Van Buren, ordered the ten
hour day on all government work.
The report of Secretary Morrison
will read like a romance. 1t will show
that the body which was organized in
Pittsburg in 1881 with only 100000
workers now has membership of up
ward of $2,000,000.
During the past year as high as 200
applications a month have been re-
ceived for charters for new unions. AS
late as five years ago there were but
f1fty-six central bodies. Now there
are more than 500. Half decade ago
there were fifty-eight international or
CARNATIONS. Now there are twice
that number. In 1897 the income of
the federation was $4,000. Now it is
at the rate of $4,000 year.
The best evidence that the working
men realize what organization is doing
for them is found in the fact that they
have consented to increases of the per
capita tax by which the big federation
is supported.
The federation now has an organiza-
ton that is a marvel The president
and secretary respectively devote all
their time to the work and receive SAL
aries Of $4,000 and $1,000 respectively.
In addition there are in the field thirty
six paid organizers, who devote all
their time to the labor cause, and LOO
district organizers. The principal la
Dor unions not affiliated with the A.
F. Of L. are those connected with the
Knights Of Labor, a national body
which had it's origin in a, Philadelphia
local union Of clothing cutters in 1869,
and the brotherhood of railroad en-
gineers, conductors, trainmen and fire.
