District No. 10 Has About Half a
Million on Hand.

The report of the recent quarterly
audit of the affairs OF District No. 10
Iof the Iowa Mine Workers gives some
information concerning the
affairs of the organization and the f.
nancial resources. The organization
on the last day of the quarter, Febru-
airy is, had on hand $4l6, 104.S2. The
balance on hand at the previous audit,
November 1, was 1884, 642,35. This
shows healthful increase in the re-
sources of the organization.
The amount of the defense fund
which is one per cent Of the wages
paid for labor would indicate that dur
| ing the period of three months Iowa
mine workers earned and were paid
the sum of $3127,746.O0. {t
One OF the best benefits derived from
the association is the payment OF the
sum of one hundred dollars upon the
death of miner to the family of the
deceased and fifty dollars upon the
death of the wife of miner. The
amount of cash now in this fund is
$10,00O.00. During the past three
months and half no less than fifty
four death claims were paid eighteen
women and thirty-six men. OF this
number only two deaths occurred in
the Mahaska county field. They were
Mrs. Hanna Bunner at Cricket and
Mrs. Marie Ennis at Durfee.
Over a quarter of a million dollars
were paid to the miners of Mahaska
county during the period, in wages,

letters advised. Horn that the writer
