Iowa Falls School Board Finds
Itself in Peculiar Legal
Predicament
HEATING PLANT PARTLY Built
Court Now Orders That No Further
Payments be Made on the Ground
That the Contract Was Not Prop

Thus Presented.
to Times-Republican.

Eldora, Sept. 19.-Judge Richard,
of Webster City, at the closing session
of the district court here, heard the
application for an injunction restrain
ing the board of directors of the indie
pendent District of Iowa Falls from
paying any amount on the heating
plant that is now being installed. All
summer the school board at Iowa Falls
has been attempting to solve the heat
ing problem. Citizens of the town
have taken sides in the controversy;
the principal contention is over the
question as to which would be the
more satisfactory plan Of heating: put
in an independent vapor heating sys-
tenn, or have the electric light COM
pany heat the school buildings from
it's plant. A Mr.. Dow came to Iowa
Falls from Philadelphia early in the
summer in the interest Of a vapor heat
ing plant manufactured in that city.
The Peterson Heat, Light and Power
Company, who owns the local electric
light plant, offered to heat the build
ings for $500 per year If proper radia-
ton and connections We're installed. An
election of the voters was called by
the board for July 18th, to get an ex-
preston of the popular will, but there
was such a misunderstanding of the
propositions submitted that many did
not vote at the election; the result Of
the balloting was in favor of steam
heating and expressed willingness for
the levy to be made to pay for the inn
provement. The board of directors,
however, concluded to install vapor
system, which is similar to the steam
heating plan but by patent improve
ment is claimed to save large per-
centage of fuel The next step it
appears is where the board made an
error. The plans We're to be prepared
by Mr.. Dow showing the require
ments for both systems and asking
bids. The advertisements for bids was
made, but the plans and specifications
We're not on file for inspection by bid
ders. Judge Richard in a carefully
worded opinion announced the ruling
that such an improvement as a new
heating plant was one where the law
was mandatory upon the board to adj
vertise for bids and have the plans
and specifications open for inspection;
a heating plant costing over $500 must
be paid from the school house fund
and not from the contingent fund he
holds.
The law not having been complied
with the court holds that the letting
of the contract was illegal and issued
an injunction against the board pay
ing any further sums under that con-
tract; the company has installed the
plant and has been paid $1,000 already;
the contract price was $4,000, leaving
a balance due the firm of $4,000. School
opened yesterday at Iowa Falls and the
plant is practically complete.

this morning brought suit in the fed
eral court asking for $4,000 damages.
Smith brings the suit in four counts,

Ger which was secret known to him
alone. The plaintiff goes on to say fur
Their that Seaman informed him that
this special cure was discovered by
him and that though it did not harm
the healthy tissues of the system it ate
out the cancer.
This, Smith claims. was false, and
that Seaman knew it to be false when
he so told him. He says that on Sep
TENDER Is he found out that the spec
ial cure was the obsolete caustic cure
and nothing more than that.
Smith states that on account of the
statements made to him by Seaman
he allowed him to operate on cancer
on his wife, and also on himself. He
complains that the operation perform
ed on him was imperfect and that as
result of it he has grown emaciated
and that his mind has been weakened.
On account of this, he claims $4,000
damages.

ACID in THE CREAM
Waterloo Creamery Company Accused
of Selling Adulterated Cream.

Council Bluffs, Sept 19.-The cases
pending against I. Mucci and the Wa
terloo Creamery Company on the
charge of selling adulterated cream
were called up in Justice Gardeners
court, and Leroy Corliss, vice presi-
dent of the Waterloo Creamery Com
pany, appeared and made answer for
that institution. Dairy Commissioners
II. r. Wright and State Chemist c. N.
Kinney were put on the stand in the
case against the creamery company.
The testimony of the former merely
related to the specified sample of
cream having been received by him
and turned over to the state chemist.
Professor Kinney stated that his anal
ysis disclosed that the sample con-
tanned boracic acid and gelatine. With
the introduction of this evidence the
case was continued to September 25
when the defense will present its side.
The Mucci case was continued to
September %. 1t is understood that a
local chemist made the analysis of the
product from his place, but no hearing
was held in this matter.

Then it dawned on some of us that

We're not members of the labor trust
but really had to bear the oppression
of the minority and be ruled by them.
There are only about twenty union
members in every 500 citizens. But
the compact organization of the few
made it possible for the labor trust,
in many cases, to force their tyranny
on the unorganized majority. The next
natural thought was to organize the
people for their own protection.
That was an inspired thought.

Report to the People

all officers and laws that exist for the
protection of the common people,
show plainly the tendency towards
Socialism and Anarchy which will
grow like weeds in AN uncared-for
garden. Men who have regard for the
sacred mantle of liberty fought for,
won, and handed down to us, are pa
triots enough to stand together and
limited at by the lawbreakers. But
they cannot give force TO their views
acting as individuals. Organization
must meet present organization with
superior force. When the citizens are
organized they do the work and insure
industrial peace. 1t is the business of
the National Citizens Association to
organize local associations in every
community. Experience has taught
the way and the results show how
practical the methods are. Are you
patriot? Do you believe in steady in
dustry? Do you want the common
people to have the organization and
power to rule notwithstanding the
ORDERS and manipulations of the Ia
Dor trust or amy other trust? Do you
believe in maintaining the law and in
surfing industrial peace? Ii so, be you
merchant workman, clerk lawyer,
teamster or railroad president join the
Citizens Industrial Association. 1T
costs YOU so cents to be a. member at
large and so cents for the monthly
publication the Square Deal" which
keeps you alive as to facts. Send
s1.O0 bill in envelope, it's safe, almost
without fail. If you have any doubt
send money order Do your little share
and if your further interests are worth
insuring, send in addition a properly
computed sum for the work. If you
are big enough mentally to build a
big business, you have mental calibre
sufficient ito tell you what to do.

GLOW are you coming on" a promi-
nent man inquiries about the move
ment for Industrial Peace.
It's not exactly an easy job to stop
strikes, insure steady work in the fac
tories or prevent interference with
electric and railway transportation, but
a practical working plan has been dis
covered and is now being applied In
town after town.
Yes it works and works in sturdy,
dependable and result-producing
way.
The actual operation is worth more
than a hay wagon full of theories.
Step by step the conditions were met
and the problems solved. The labor
unions assumed the form of trusts Tor
the sale of labor. They seek better con-
ditions for workmen but are generally
managed by men for personal mon
ey-getting and these men hold their
power by forcing up wages as high as
the public will stand. That in way
is right enough, but the methods are
oppressive.
They use persuasion, threats, intim-
idation, assaults, violence and various
means to force workmen to join the
trust for large membership means
power and large incomes to the manlp
ulators Then when these trusts became
powerful enough the common people
were treated to a most extraordinary
display of oppression and tyranny.
Industries have been stopped causing
loss of literally hundreds of millions
of dollars to owners workpeople and
the community. Property has been
burned, blown up and wrecked in other
WAYS. Tens of thousands of American
citizens have been assaulted and nun
dreds have been murdered by these la
Dor trusts in their bloodthirsty efforts
to force all the rest of humanity to
implicitly obey their orders"
These outrages have been from 10
to 100 times the volume of the overt
acts toward the negro, that brought
on the civil war. We spent money
enough to almost bankrupt the nation
and the precious lives of fathers broth
ers. sons and husbands enough to peo-
pie it in that struggle to avenge the
wrongs and insure the liberty of the
black man. But the white slave of the
labor trust-what about him? What
about the losses. abuse. tyranny, as
saults and murders? What about
the thousands of decent white
men and women, tied hand and foot.
unable to work. move or act. except by
contribution to and with consent of the
trust? Human liberty and constitu-
tional rights of an American citizen
are denied them. 1t got so bad people

the tyrannies because of the "black
