TIME NOT ALLOWED, ONE CAUSE
Twenty five Men Stop Work it is

Superintendent Sweeney in Not Set

Will Arrive Tonight.

Aggravated by the delay which has
ans,ed since the Iowa Central boiler
makers notified General Superln'eha-
emf Sweeney that they wished to sub
NIT n new wage schedule. and angered
by a recent refusal on the part OF a
company time keeper as they ailese'
10 abide by the rules of the schedule
now in force, the boilermakers In the
machine shops quit work Iuesday
afternoon. until such time as their dit-
ferences will be adjusted. This ACTON
was the outgrowth of the failure OF Mr..
Sweeney to meet the mems commit
tee when they thought he should, ana
to be due one of the men VINO haa
worked in Oskaloosa.
The cause directly responsible TOT
the walk out was due to the SHOP uine
keeper's refusal to allow one ana one
half time and expenses to a po'ier-
maker from the local shops, who WAS
sent to Oskaloosa to work FOR week.
The time slip was given to the tllne
keeper Tuesday morning. but ne re-
fused to allow It, and the committee
of boilermakers then notified INN that
unless the time was allowed by
clock they would stop work AT the
same time MIR. Sweeney was notified
that unless by 3 o'clock he named
date for the schedule the men would
cease work The time was not allow
ed and no reply was received from Mr..
Sweeney. and the men laid down their
tools and walked at 3:15 o'clock. Eff
teen minutes later a telegram was re-
ceived from Mr.. Sweeney, saying ne
would be here this evening. The men
claim the schedule under which they
are working allows them time and one
half and expenses when sent away
from home to do company work, ana
they are demanding only what the
company agreed to pay.
About january the boilermakers
committee prepared a new schedule
and notified MIR. Sweeney they We're
ready to meet him at any date for
its consideration. Mr. Sweeney had
not been able, 1t is claimed, on account
of a rush of other business, to meet
the mer who say they are tired of
the long delay.
In the new schedule the boilermak-
ers are asking an increase of two and
one half cents an hour. They are now
receiving 32M cents and want 80 cents
an hour Only those boilermakers work.

in the round house did not quit. The
other department of the shops will
continue, altho affected by the boiler
makers quitting. 1t is likely as soon
as the conferences begin with Mr..
Sweeney the men will return to work.
He will arrive from Oskaloosa this
evening. and probably before leaving
here will also meet the machinists and
car shops employees committees, who
also have schedules ready.

Interesting Experiment in Restaur-
ant

ant.
An advertising agent. representing
a prominent New York magazine
while on a recent western trip, was
dining one evening in Il Pittsburg res
taurant.
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and not
iced the advertisement of well known
dyspepsia preparation. Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets. AS he himself was a
regular user of the tablets. he began
specializing as to how many of the
ether travelling men in the dining room
were also friends of the popular REM
e.dy for Indigestion.
He says: l counted twenty three
men at the tables and in the hotel OF
flee l took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine of the twenty three made praer
tice of taking one or two OF Stuart $
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
One of them told me he had SUI
Tered SO much from stomach trouble
that at one time he had been Obliged
to quit the road, but since using SUI
arts Dyspepsia Tablets had been en-
tirely free from Indigestion, but ne
continued their use, especially "hi'e
travelling, on account of irregularity OF
meals and because like all travelling
men he was often obliged to eat VIII II
he could get and not always what we
wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate Il meal With
out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased without fear oil

Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, caus-
ing pressure on heart and lungs. short
ness Of breath and distress in chest,
which he no longer experienced since
using the tablets regularly
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe rem
edy he had ever found for sour stom-
ach and acidity. He had formerly used
common soda to relieve the trouble.

PATTERSON ON GRAFT.
Iowa City Professor Lectures on "The
Modern Bandit"

Humorously speaking of it as the
curtain raiser before the big show, in
referring to the municipal league
mass meeting, DIR. w. r. Patterson, of
the State University of Iowa, for forty
minutes Tuesday evening, talked to the
men of the Searchlight Club on munici-
pal graft and corruption under the sub
ject of "a Modern Bandit" DR.. Pat :
terson's explanation of the principal
cause of graft is the standard of sue
cess, the making of money, which i'm
bues the business public of our coun-
try. He said wherever politics ana
business touch, there graft be-
gins. The business man wants
success, he wants to make
money, and to obtain his end
he purchases legislators and legisla-
ton, municipal and police protection
DR.. Patterson was handicapped by
the lack of time, as it was the wish of
the club to adjourn promptly at s
8 o'clock, that those who wished might
attend the mass meeting. For this
reason he was compelled to pass hast
ily from one topic to another, without
being able to go into detail. His lee
ture dealt largely with graft In New
York City, under the rule of Richard
Croker and Tammany Hall, and the
conditions in that city under the rule
of the Tammany machine politics. He
told of the corruption in the police
force, and of the protection afforded
resorts, gambling houses of all kinds,
and the saloons, all of which paid their
toll to the city government, and in re-
turn were under it's protection. In con-
nection with the graft in politics he
touched briefly on the graft in bust
ness speaking of the adulterated
foods. C. H. Van Law introduced the
speaker.

j. T.. Starboard then moved that SUIT
tons DAILY resolution be tabled and this
was carried He then moved that the
ballot be taken, the voting TO be for
Dickson and lsgermayer only. Mer-
rtt Greene said that vote meant the
death llnell of the movement. but Eyer
mayer said that he and Dickson were
willing to take their chances. w. III.
Calhoun favored voting at once. and
Thad d. Evans, who was recognized
amid the confusion that was then be-
ginning to be very apparent proclaim-
ed that DAILY had not been given amy
opportunity. He advised taking time
aud giving the matter more considera-
ton.
Moves to Adjourn.
]. T.. Stanton. a DAILY man, then
moved to adjourn. II. Nj. Sutton sec
onded and T. ID. Evans insisted that a
motion for adjournment was always in
order, when the crowd yelled for more
fun. The chairman was undecided on
the result of the yea and nay vote. and
a standing vote was called for. The
motion was declared lost.
The work of passing the ballots was
then begun by the tellers, and the
meeting began to thin out, many leaN-
ing. Chaplain Cole moved that who
ever received the ma iority vote should
have the support of the meeting, and
whoever voted should support the cam
didate turnout the campaign and at the
polls. This was in opposition to what
the tellerS We're announcing as they
passed the ballots. as they said that
voters We're not bound at all by their
action. Chaplain Coles motion car
ried. A. w. Head spoke for the vote
and r. r.. Waterbury was recognized.
Mr. Waterbury's talk touched the
match to the powder. and resulted in
breaking up the meeting. He declared
that Mr. Dickson did not speak for the
organization that brought him out. the
Home Protectionists, but for himself
alone. He had not consulted his con-
stituency, he said. IF | must stand
by the result" he added. "1cannot vote"
Mr. Waterbury then paid his respects
to Egerinayer. and grew personal. say
ing that he was an unpopular eandl-
date by reason for his former connec-
ton with n law collecting firm, and
because of his efforts to collect water
rents while city clerk. He firmly be-
lieved the meeting was packed with
Ingledue and DAILY men. who would
vote for the weaker candidate, in order
to get Dickson out Of the road. Kisses
arose from different parts of the room.
and DR. Jones rose to a point of order,
saying that Mr. Waterbury was maxi
ing personal assault, and not speak
ing to the question. Mr.. Waterbury
soon concluded, after declaring that
the chances were against Mr.. Eyer
mayer. M. T.. Andrews was recognize
ed and said that the two factions
should settle their differences In their
chambers. and moved to adjourn.
While some of the telers We're bring
ing the ballots to the front and others
were still collecting them. the motion
to adjourn carried by almost a unan-
imous vote.

Rush of Repair Work Requires More
Men.


On account or lie inability OF the
force to keep up with the repair work
in the Iowa Central shops, five new
machinists. secured by Master Me-
chanic Thomas NJ. Feeley in Chicago,
arrived in the city this morning and
will be placed at work. A sixth ma
chinist was to have come with the
party, but missed the train. Last fall
the force was reduced somewhat by
the transfer of machinists from here
to the round houses at Oskaloosa and
Monmouth, and during the winter the
work has so accumulated that the
force has been unable to keep up with
it. All but one of the men are mar
ried, and If the work and conditions
are satisfactory. their families will join
them later. Those who came this NOR
ming were Albert Mullholland, Albert
Johnson, c. w. Smith, William Peter

THE BEssINGros,s WATER GAUGE.

Particularly sane comment on the accident to
the Bennington is offered by THE Army and
Navy Journal" That paper holds that it is yet
too soon to say whether individual or sys-
tenn was responsible for the explosion, and
therefore, that judgment should be suspended
until court of inquiry has elected more facts
This is certainly the only right attitude to as
sumo 1t is far wiser to adopt no theory at all
than TO adopt one which must, perhaps, event
ualIy be abandoned. First impressions cannot
easily he -eradlcated. and the just man will for
time refrain from making choice between
the different hypothesis which have been adj
vanced to account for the recent disaster.
There appears 10 be no doubt that the Ben
nington's boilers We're old. and that the need Of
repairs on the first of them which gave way had
been onicially recognized. Still, these circum
stances do not prove that weakness the
primary cause of the explosion. To blame any
one for keeping the boiler in service, therefore,
is, TO say the least, premature. Marine and
other engineers have within the last few days re-
marked that the violence with which the boiler
burst seemed to point 10 another possibility.
Something may have been wrong with the
water gauge and it may have given false indi-
cations of the amount of liquid within. Ad-
jacent valves sometimes closed while a
boiler is being cleaned, and they are not al
ways opened again when they should be. In
this manner and otherwise the glass tube which
is supposed 10 reveal the level of the water is
sometimes prevented from acting properly.
Should the man in charge fail TO make a fur
Their test by opening the cocks provided for that
purpose he might easily be misled by the gauge
If that be the correct explanation of the acct
dent to the Bennington the trouble may have
been attributable to what The Army and Navy
Journal" calls "a system"
The shortage of competent engineers in the
naval service for several years has been a mat
ter of widespread complaint That deficiency
is in some quarters held to he largely the result
Of the enactment of the Personnel bill. which
removed the old distinction between engineers
and line officers. If the testimony evoked by the
coming investigation should tend TO show that
the explosion was not due to the weakness of
the boiler, but TO negligence or oversight In the
engine room, fresh argument will be furnished
for repeal of that measure
