A Personal Word

At the session of the Des
Moines Annual Conference
recently convened at Council
Bluffs, the Rev. DR.. A. u. Buriff
of Hamburg, Iowa, was APP
pointed to the passionate Of the
Methodist Episcopal church of
this city, the writer being
assigned to Broadway church,
Council Bluffs.
According to our economy,
the reading of the appoint
ments by the bishop is the
point where the transfer of
pastorates occur, placing these
charges now under the new
arrangement. DR.. Buriff is
now pastor of this church and
the writer bespcaks for hima
warm place in the heart Of the
church.
We have been the closest
kind of friends ever since we
have been acquainted and had
we the power to name our
successor on this charge we
surely would have named this
brother. We are delighted
with this arrangement and wis h
to assure cur many friends that
they can do nothing 10 please
us more than to take Dir. and
Mrs. Buriff and little Doris IN
to their hearts and homes as
they have taken Mrs. Williams
and myself during the nearly
five years that we have been
with you. DIR. Buriff is a gift
ed pulpiteer. a scholar, and a
Christian gentleman, a splen-
did fellow and a man whom
you will delight to know. As q
citizen as we'll as a preacher he
will be a valued addition to
this community. He will preach
his first sermon as pastor Of
this church on next Sunday
morning, at which time he will
be pleased to meet as many of
the congregation and friends
as possible.
Missouri Valley has become
quite like home to Mrs. Williams
and myself and very close tics
of friendship have been formed
that makes it hard for us to go.
Bro. Buriff has the same ex-
perience at Hamburg so our
friends here will do us a favor
by receiving our friend and
your new pastor just as you
wish us to be received on our
new field of work.
We wish to thank our friends
of all the churches and in nc
church, for their many express
sions of personal regard and
wish to assure them that the;l
sentiments are reciprociated
and we will always remember
Missouri Valley with a feeling
that you are ''our own folks"
!, Desiring and feeling sure
that the Methodist Episcopal
church Of this city will have .
splendid year, we wish to re-
main always,
) Your friends,
james M. Williams and wife.

HAYWOOD SHOWS SIGNS OF BREAKING DOWN
(Scripps News Association.,

BOISE, May 14.-Haywood is be-
ginning to show the effects of long
confinement and worry. Lines
about his mouth and eyes are be-
coming more clearly defined daily.
He is still pursuing the study of
law, and, according to his attor-
neys, is making excellent progress.
His youngest daughter is his con.
slant companion and his wife is by
his side the entire session.
BOISE, May 14-John F. Muir
ply, chief counsel for the Western
Federation of Miners, has held ex-
tended conferences with Meyer re-
garding the Chicago Journal story
that Meyer is an ex-convict. While
Meyer regards the matter lightly,
insisting his life is an open book,
his attorneys are engaged actively
in seeking persons who knew him
in the Black Hills at the time he is
declared to have been in Joliet pen
itentiary.
The Pinkertons claim to have
conclusive evidence that Meyer has
criminal record in Chicago and
has served prison sentence as
charged. They say they can prove
he was notorious as the Cowboy
Burglar" BY friends of Meyer this
is looked upon as master stroke
of the Pinkertons, who have been
constantly in the employ of the
Mine Owners association, to deal
a heavy blow to the defense in the
Boise trial.
Mcfarland is credited with work
ing up the evidence against Meyer.
1t is though Meyer will find it
hardest to explain the fact that at
20 he must have answered exactly
the description of the man convict
ed. This is believed to be merely a
coincidence.
Murphy is greatly displeased
over declarations that in case of
conviction there will be an armed
demonstration. He says it is pre-
posterious and the federation would
never permit such thing. He be-
lieves conviction impossible and
declares it is the intention that no
one will interfere in any way with
the progress of the trial.
Judge Wood greatly pleased the
defense by holding the prosecution
down to the exact language of the
criminal code in examining tales.
men, indicating that he intends to
hold to the strict language of the
Indictment and thus shorten the
trial by preventing Introduction of

SHOP
DECLARED

Electrical contractors declared an
open shop today. They say they
will sign no agreement making any
concessions to the unlCn. Five dol
lars per day is being paid for non
union help, but it is scarce at that,
only a few men having so far been
procured. The contractors say they
will give employment to the union
electrical workers upon the same
basis if they desire to work with
nonunion employees.
Every available union electrical
worker has been picked up since
yesterday morning and has been
given work either with the Journey
men. who have begun contracting
for themselves since the beginning
of the deadlock. or with the 3 shops
which have signed the Spokane
Building Trades alliance agree
ment.
Efforts are being made today to
secure helpers. Many of the union
electrical workers have left the
city since the beginning of the
trouble and have found employ
ment in Seattle and other coast
cities. Secretary Allen, of the cleo
trical workers, who has been in
Walla Walla organizing an cleo
trical workers union, will return to

OLD COUNCIL
ENDS TONIGHT

AS to just what will be done when

councilman and other city officials
profess ignorance. However, 1t
seems certain that Mayor Daggett
will send in the name of Arthur b.
Baines as successor to Will IL.
Adams. the resigned meat inspec-
tor. Whether the council will con-
firm the appointment or not is a
question.
This will be the last meeting of
the council under the present adj
ministration. An effort will be
made to finish up such old business
as possible. Some arrangement will
be made to provide fund for the
payment of about $4,000 worth of
bills contracted by the board OF

The Central Labor union voted to
take Natatorium park off the UNI
fair list of that body last night after
a stormy session. The report OF
the committee appointed last Mon
day to investigate the lease held by
the lngersol Amusement Co. report
ed in favor of this action.
Delegate Lundy, of the electrical
workers, said he had a number of
contracts for wiring and electrical
work at the park and as his union
was the organization which origin
ated the boycott and a number Of
its members are employed there the
delegates from other unions voted
to open the park to everyone.
Considerable dissatisfaction was
expressed at the action of the cleo
trical workers and motion to ask
that Mr. Lundy be withdrawn from
the central body by his union was
literally seconded. but President
Maloney refused to put the motion.
The withdrawal of Lundy was ask
ed on the grounds that he is con-
tractor and ineligible TO seat in
the central body.
II was stated that the w. w. P
Co. would meet with a committee
from the Central Labor union and
the Structural Trades alliance any
time after Wednesday for the pur-
pose of making a settlement of the
differences now existing between
the company and the unions, and a
committee of was appointed by
the Central Labor union for this
conference.
That the company will settle
with the unions is doubted by
many members of organized labor.
1t is stated that the Musicians
union has been given until We'd
nesday to sign up 10 play at the
park. and unless this is done an
Italian band is to be secured TO
furnish music this summer. There
is no lack of labor men who say
that the offer to meet committees
after Wednesday is ruse and will
amount to nothing if the musicians
agree TO play.
However, ii Is certain the musi-
clans will play at the park. This
was settled by the action OF the
Central Labor union last night, 1t
Is the intention of the unions to
keep the lines of the company on
the unfair list. but it is doubtful if
such a boycott can be made eff
fective.
