ADOPT WAGE SCALE
Further Action Taken by the Newly
Formed Employers Protective Asso.
citation at Iowa City.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, March 1.-THE second
official meeting of the newly formed
Employers Protective Association was
held last night, when scale of wages
was adopted which will either make or
break the union labor OF the city.
Whether the unions of the city will ac-
cept such q scale or not can not be
learned until it is made public, but 1t
is thought that if they do so they will
acknowledge that unionism is thing
OF the past. The fundamental princi-
pie upon which the new organization
IS formed is that they will not recog-
nize the union. An acceptance of the
scale formed by them would be tacit
recognition by the union of the fact
that they could no longer command the
recognition of the employers and their
power in the city would be lost.
On the night that the employers met
for the first time, when they had in
fact done nothing more than form the
organization, they had not given much
attention to the exact position that
they would assume on the wages ques-
ton.
All of the men are working on a
nine-hour day scale, and for such work
the carpenters receive $2.75, the paint
ers $2.75, the teamsters $3.50, the la
borers 50, the plasterers SIS and the
bricklayers So, while the printers re-
ceive wage of s14 per week. A COM
parison OF this scale with the wages
that are paid in other parts of Iowa
shows that the men are receiving as
high a wage as is paid IN the strong
est union center. During the entire
past year they have been able to en-
force this scale and as a result the
employers, contractors and builders
aver that they have lost over 100000
worth of business. Turnout the entire
building season the unions We're able
to command every job that was worked
in the city and not a non-union man
could turn so much as a spade of dirt
without getting into trouble.

all Of the bridegmen were called to go

about eighteen feet. All of the time
since the work was first started the

hilton of hereditary tendencies came to
light in this city yesterday and culmi-
mated in Mr.. Harry Spencer and Miss
Viola Thomas, both of West Bend. be-
ing happily united in marriage by
Rev. Shoemaker. of this city.
Last Monday Sheriff Mitterer re-
ceived a telegram from the sheriff at
West Bend, telling him to be on the
lookout for an clipping couple from that
city. The next day a young couple
drove into town. The sheriff spotted
the rig, but was unable to locate the
young man. Yesterday Mr.. NJ. L..
Spencer. well-to-do farmer living
near West Bend. came into town. He
proved to be the father of the would
be groom and in short time the clerk
was told it was all right to issue the
license, as the young lady was past is
years of age, and he gave his consent
for the young man, who is only 20
years old. to marry. Mr.. Spencer said
there was no objection to the marriage,
but the young folks We're bound to
elope. He said it ran in the young la
dy's family to elope. He said the
girls father and mother eloped and
were married forty years ago and since
that time there had been three elope-
ments in the family beside the present
one.
When the trio left town it was hard
to tell who was the happiest. the bride,
the groom or the new fatherin-law to
the young lady with inherited clipping
instincts.
