A TWO YEAR CONTRACT
Operators Make New Demand on
the Iowa Coal Miners.

Des Moines, April 11.-A two years
contract, signed and sealed by both
operators and miners, naming all the
terms and conditions upon which
work is to be resumed, was today de-
manded by the operators of the mine
workers as the condition precedent
to any continuance Of work in the
mines of Iowa. 1t is the opinion of
the operators best informed upon the
conditions now prevailing, that Des
Moines and all other Iowa towns that
are depending upon imported coal at
the present time, may make ready to
endure a strike and consequent high
prices for ten days longer at the very
least. 1t is said that the strike, even
if an agreement is reached by the
contending parties now in session
here, can not be regarded as settled
until all matters are finally conclud-
ed, recorded in black and white,
signed and sealed, and delivered.
Then and not until then will tne
strike be ended and the Iowa mines
feCpeneu.#
The position of the operators, it is
understood, will in some particulars
be changed from what it was before
the strike was called. They are still
willing, they say, to submit to arbi.
traticn every question except that or
the demand for a reduction In the
price Of powder, and even that they
are willing to submit to a board in
order that it may be determined
whether the powder question is one
fit for arbitration. The operators
are willing, they say, that the entire
matters at issue be taken before an
arbitration board, and this, they say,
they have always been willing to do
Their position, as now defined, is the
same that ito was before the strike
and unless the miners see the light
and agree to the arbitration of the
questions proposed by the operators
the end CT the strike is not yet in
sight.

COL. HAMMOND DEAD.
Very Sudden Summons Comes to
Prominent Citizen.

Col. ]. w. Hammond, founder, prin-
cipal owner and cashier of the OsRa-
Ioosa Savings Bank, died at his home
at 9O6 A avenue east, at 1920 O'Clock
this afternoon. His death comes as
a shock to everyone, as it follows a
sudden illness that developed only
this morning. Mr.. Hammond had
been enfeebled by siege Of la grippe
but was convalescent and had been
at the bank as late as Saturday, re-
naming during the business hours.
He was taken very i'll early this
morning and the family physician
was summoned. The doctor at once
recognized the seriousness of the pa
tents condition and consultation Of
doctors was hastily called. AS a re-
suit of the diagnosis the family was
informed about noon that the end was
not far away This sad news had
hardly been circulated among his
: business associates and intimate
Il lends mil the announcement Of
DIS death was made.
Mr.. Hammond was at his place OF
business Saturday almost all day and
attended to duties about the bank.
7 He 9 implanted about a peculiar short
ness OF breath. but aside from a
slight embarrassment on this account
he was not ailing at that time, He
had been in i'll health during the past
FIVE OF six weeks. He was cohfined
TO his home on February with a
bad case of la grippe and later with
a threatened attack Of pneumonia,
but this was averted and GONZALES
cence was quite rapid. He has been
at the bank a number of days and
about the city and to all appearances
was enjoying his usual health,
His death will be regretted by ev,
eryone who knew him, and most
lteenly felt by those who knew him
best.
a. Mrs, Hammond and three children,
M Elmo Hammond, of Chicago, Mrs,
B. G. Buxton, of Buxton, and Mrs. r.
r. McRae, of this city, survive to
mourn the loss of husband, father and
friend. The family in their sudden
bereavement will have the sympathy
of all who enjoyed the acquaintance
