story comes from Ottumwa to the
effect that the delegates to the State
Federation of labor refused TO ride be-

the band rode.

they had the banners. and the guests
at once informed them they would
rather be without the band than to
have the banners. AS a result when the
trolley procession struck the business
part of town the band was unloaded. :.
