SCHEME OF STEEL TRUST WILL
NOT INJURE ROOSEVELT

Joliet, ILL.,, Oct. 5.-The "readjust-
ment" at the Joliet plant of the United
States Steel corporation has resulted
in a sensational reduction of wages
Nearly all of the 1000 men employed
at the big plant are affected, and in
many cases the decrease amounts to
so per cent. The tonnage system has
been eliminated and all have been
placed on fiat salary rate.
The anger of hundreds of the skilled
hands is at white heat, although many
have remained at their posts, with the
intention of submitting until after cleo
tion.
Several prominent mill men, who
claim they are in possession of the
information to back up what they say,
declare that the action has been or
dered from New York and that it is a
plot on the part of the Morgan and
Rockefeller interests, which now dom
mate the steel corporation. to injure
President Roosevelt.

PLAN IS ON FOOT FOR 4
BREWERY IN OTTLMWA

From Wednesdays Daily.
Plans to establish a brewery in con-
nection with the Hygienic Ice and
Cold Storage company's plant in this
city are we'll under way and it is be-
lieved that within few days the final
arrangements will be completed and
work begun on the necessary improve
ments. The capital stock of the COM
pany is to be increased and the pres
ent plant remodeled and enlarged.
w. w. Cummings, of the Hygienic
company when interviewed in regard
to the proposed improvements today
stated that the stockholders planned
to establish a brewery in connection
with the ice and cold storage and but
ter and egg business. He said that it
was the intention to increase the cap
ital stock from $4,000 to s16O,OOO
and that large portion of this had all
ready been raised It is expected that
the entire amount will be subscribed
by the end of next week and it is plan
ned to begin work making the neces-
sary improvements at once.
VIII Enlarge Plant.
The present plant where the ice and
cold storage business is conducted will
be remodeled and one large new build
ing will be erected for the manufac-

ture Of beer. By running the brew
cry in connection with the ice plant
it is thought the cost of production
will be kept at a minimum
Large Amount Expended.
1t is estimated that about 100000
is sent from Ottumwa to wholesale
dealers in beer in other cities every
month. The promoters of the brewery
for Ottumwa believe that a beer just
as good grade as Is made any
where can be manufactured in this
city and that g. large sum of money
that now goes to other states can be
kept in circulation here. Cedar Rap
ids, Keokuk, Ft. Madison, BURLINGTON
and other cities have breweries and it
is stated are proving success. 1t is
also stated that the brewery will be
of much benefit to the farmers as it
will establish market for barley, a
product for which there has been no
market in this vicinity for several
years.
If the present plans are realized the
work on the necessary improvements
will begin at once and as soon as pos-
sible the new machinery will be in
stalled and the plant placed in ,nner-
alton.
