a. l. Urick, President OF the Iowa Fed
Grafton Of Labor to Attend Ma.
tonal Convention Next
Week.
TO APPEAL IoWA's CASE
Charter Was withdrawn Because o,
Refusal Of Officials to Unseat
Electrical Delegates at
Convention.

A. L. Urick, president Of the Iowa
State Federation Of Labor, and L. O.
Pouchot, the delegate from Iowa, will
leave Des Moines soon tor Toronto to
attend the national convention OF the
American Federation Of Labor, which
convenes on Monday next and will
stay IN session for at least two weeks.
Mr.. Urick goes to the convention
prepared to make a hard fight for the
regrantlDg of the charter of the Iowa
state organization, which was with
drawn on Aug. 10. He claims that
the case which he and Mr.. Pouchot
will present to the convention will be
SO strong that there is little doubt
that the action of the executive com
mission of the national organization
in withdrawing the charter will be re-
versed
The state association claims that it
was not notified that any charges were
pending against them, and the first
word the officers received was that a
meeting of the executive commission
had been held in New York and the
charter revoked. They say that they
were at least entitled to fair trial
and chance to present their side of
the controversy which caused the
split.
The withdrawal of the charter of the
Iowa district is the result Of the re-
fusal Of the officials to unseat the dele
gates from the electrical union at the
last annual convention. There is a
split in the ranks of the electricians
which extends all over the country,
and at present there are two sets of
officers and two distinct organiza-
tons. One Of them is in favor witA
the present officers of the American
Federation of Labor and they have
been demanding all over the country
| that this faction be recognized and
the other faction be turned out of all
district conventions. This demand
was met by a refusal by the Iowa dis
trict on the grounds that the consti
tuition of the national organization
| prohibited such move.
| All Withdrawals of charters in the
American Federation of Labor are
subject to an appeal before the nation
al convention 1t is such a constitu
tional appeal that is now oeiIg made
| by the Iowa delegates.

Good Of Organization.

There are many things which the
Commercial club accomplishes that
are entirely unknown to the people at
large. The secretary Is constantly
In touch with firms that may move
from their locations at any moment,
but is unable to make it public, be-
cause these firms do not wish to weak
en- their standing in the communities
in which they are, in case they did
not eventually move.
Members also wonder from time to
time what becomes of the money paid
into the treasury. Along this line it
will be remembered that when the
club made proposition to the button
factory, it had in the bank the round
sum OF $1,000. From month to month,
the amount Of money on hand accu.
mulates, and the more the members
the more money.

SCHEDULE FOR
Federal CENSUS
is FORMULATED
(BY Associated Press. J

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The
general schedule which will be used
in the federal census of manufac-
lures for the calendar year 1909,
has been formulated, and about
100000 printed copies have been
ordered by Census Director E. Dana
Durand.
The schedule is in the form of a
four-page folder, about 9X11 II
inches in size 1t is smaller and
simpler than the ones upon which
the 1900 and 1905 censuses of man
ufactures were taken. 1t has less
than half as many spaces for en-
tries as the earlier ones and seems
likely to insure less Abor and great
er accuracy in the collection of the
manufactures data.
There are in the general schedule
thirteen principal questions, with
their subdivisions. This is the same
number as in the general schedule
of 1906. There are, however, inn
portant differences between the two
schedules These comprise, in the
1909 schedule, the new questions
authorized by congress; the elimina-
tion OF former queries to which it
is impossible to obtain approximate
ly accurate replies; and also the
simplification of others by their
separation or combination in other
| forms.
