Special to Tines-R Republican.

| Special to imes-Republican.
Iowa City, March 30.-Iowa City is
OH the verge of what is expected to be
one of the most destructive labor wars
in southeastern Iowa. The new wage
scale of the Employers Protective As
ISOLATION, which was adopted by them
standing that it would be effective or
the first day of April, will cut the
wages of the laborers in this city from
10 to 80 per cent. During the last
year Iowa City has been one of the
strongest union towns in Iowa No
work of any kind was done at any time
by other than union men. The en-
ployers state that last year there was
over 100000 worth of building which
was never even started because the
builders We're afraid of union troubles.
The unions have been strong enough
to enforce the nine-hour day with the
union wage and have maintained ii
closed shop in the city. AT the time
that the unions were organized the en-
rloyers made a contract with them
which bound them to employ none but
union men and at the union wage
scale. This contract was made be-
cause the employers thought that the
unions would not ask for more thar.
they should have. AT that time the
employers did not wish to have any
trouble because they had a lot of work

they work are not conducted under the
open shop. and If the unions do not
give the employers the right to hire
whom they please. that there will no;
be a bit of work done in the city thru
out the summer.
Since the employers meeting thv
first part of the month, union labor
has aroused itself and the position that
the union labor leaders are going to
take upon the situation has been clear
~ defined. Union labor is going to
fight. Union labor will keep non-union
labor out of the city--by fair means or
foul. No halfway measures are GO
ing to be used and IT, as the EMPLOYERS
state. that they can bring 800 men into
the city in twentyfour hours, there
may be serious rioting. There are at
the present time seven unions in the
city which are organized into one large
body, of which Dave Morgan is the
president. The larger assembly has a
governing board whose word is law to
500 men.
On the side of the employers is near
~ every business man in the city. This
new organization claims to have sixty

to follow entirely the policy of the as
sociation.
