The Mates bill to require that in all

senate committee on corporations. At

was a bill that would put stop to the

sanitary-serious Agitation Of the
Matter Of a Combination to Force
Teachers Requests for More Pay.

Ida Grove, Feb. 22.-It is believed
that strike Of the pedagogues thru
out the state OF Iowa Is an ominous
probability IL the following endless
chain proposition goes as successfully
as it is expected to do:
Dear Teacher: Owing to the pres
ent and prospective shortage of teach
ers in the state the time is ripe for US
to inaugurate certain great reforms,
first of which is an increase in wages,
second that our pay checks be sent to
us by mail, that the school houses be
made more sanitary, comfortable and
attractive.
I'VE may be able 20 do this, first,
by refusing longer to work for the mis-
erably low wages which have been paid
heretofore; second, by petitioning the
state legislature to fix wages at, say,
$50 for a third grade certificate, $50
for a second and $40 for first (Texas
pays SOD. Third, If we can do nothing
else. suggest that we organize as a
branch Of the labor union, when we can
protect each other and ourselves. There
Is a great shortage Of teachers now, at
least SO per cent. What Will 1t be
when the July examination comes on?
Please send copies OF this to at
least three OF your teacher friends and
ask them to send out three in turn.
IF we do not help ourselves. no
one will help us"
The school teachers of Iowa believe
that more is demanded Of them than
of any other class of employees In the
state, for the same pay, and are SER
iously agitatlng the matter Of a COM
bination to force their requests for
more pay.

MYERLY GETS DIES MONIES JOB.
Hull Selects Him for Postm aster-
Cummins People DispIeased.


Washington. Feb. Representa-
tive Hull has at last settled the Des
Moines postoffice controversy by nam
ing j. /. Myerly to succeed Postmaster
John Mckay. He SO informed Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the nomination will
probably be sent to the senate by the
president Friday.
"The appointment Is not factional,"
said Captain Hull. Il have selected
Myerly without regard to any faction.
He has the support almost of the entire
east side. In West Des Moines, many
Cummins men are for him. II the mat
ter went to vote, believe Myerly
would be the choice. I would have been
pleased to have appointed Mr.. Lieser,
but his appointment would have been
more purely factional than that of any
other candidate. should also have
been pleased to have named w. b. Kef-
fer. With Wilcox holding the pension
agency. could not well have taken Mr..
Lieser, who is living right there by the
side Of him, and give him the post
office"
1t is well understood here that Cap
tain Hull wants to some to congress
again and that In appointing Mr.. My
eriy he believes he has done the best
thing for himself politically. On the
other hand, it is also known here that
notice had been served on Captain
Hull by Governor Cummins and his
close friends that they did not want
Myerly, whom they regarded as anti
cummins and that they did want
Lieser. They also advised Captain Hull
that to name an anti-Cummins man
meant that they would do nothing to
prevent a fight against Captain Hull
for congress in 1908. 1t is believed
here that in view of what has taken
place, N. Il. Coffin will make up his
mind to enter the race for congress,
knowing that he will find support from
many Cummins men who feel that they
owe nothing to Captain Hull.
