larged field there will be more call

is an able minister and all his Abba
friends are regreting that he makes
the move.

in Abba yesterday and filled the pull
pit at the Christian church. He is
being given a "try-out" by the con-
gregation and will probably be ex-
tended a call this week

NO SETTLEMENT
REACHED IN IOWA
NEITHER OPERATORS NOR MIN
ERS ARE WILLING TO VENTURE
ASSERTION JUST HOW LONG
SUSPENSION WILL CONTINUE


All the mines in Iowa will close
down tonight for an indefinite
period. This action resulted from
the inability of the joint confer
ence of the miners and operators
to reach an agreement to continue
work pending the settlement of
the wage scale for the ensuing
period. There will be no strike
and no trouble whatever The
operators had sufficient coal on
hands to run them while the
scale question is being settled
and until that agreement is
reached the mines will remain
closed. It is the concensus Of
opinion that the layoff period
will last thirty days at least.
