State Their Position in Dispute.

Davenport, Sept. 3.-From the DAY.
export Locomotive works comes the
statement that 20 of their men went
out on strike yesterday morning al
tho some of the men when seen insist
that they did not so out on a strike
but were practically forced out.
The men who are out include the
machinis,s, blacksniths. blacksmith
helpers. boilermakers and boilernlak-
ers helpers.
Trouble has been brewing at the
locomotive works for the past several
weeks ard the matter came to
climax yesteday in a conference which
was held between representatives OF
the men and of the company.
Employers Statement.
Today The company gave out the
following statement in regard 10 the
trouble:
The nachinists. blacksmiths, black
smith helpers, boilernakers. boiler
makers helpers and several of the car
penters have gone out on strike
after making demands that the COM
psny could not grant
These demands were for an in
crease in wages OF from 70 2
cents an hour and working day Of
nine hours. Owing 10 the business
conditions the company could make
no concession and offered TO con-
.inue .he existing scale of wages and
conditions for the coming year which
IS considered eminentiy fair
The wages The men receive are
equal 10 and in many cases higher
than are being paid By the majority
Of employers within q large radius OF
this locality and the working condi-
lions are exceptionally good. The
company has carried as many men as
possible on its pay roll during the
pas, TWO years of business depression
asking no concession from its en-
p,oyes in the matter OF wages and
feels tina, on the dawn of revival OF
business the men are taking an IN
fair stand IN making these demands"
Men State Position.
Representatives from the men who
are out gave their version OF the affair
today which is somewhat different
trc.n that of the conlpany's.
We did not ask for an increase IN
wages said the representative but
asked for a 9 hour a day schedule in
stead Of 10 hours DAY as in force
al the present pi,ne. We had severa
conferences with the officials but the,
refused te. grant. us the request.
The only increase n wages thai
might be inferred That We asked was
siaat we receive The same wages 81
working hours that we now receive
ri. working 10 hours day.
When the COMPANY refused Z
grant us the hour cay schedule il
a 81 irit Of fairness We offered to cosn.
premise with the officials by asking
TOR three year CONTRACT in whic'
the working schedule was TO be re
duced fifteen minutes every months
which would not make the full nin'
hour schedule go into effect until tn
expiration of three years.

One could see q gradual increass in
farm values. AT first il vas more
marked in the eastern portions OF the
state, Eastern Iowa farms kept several
dollars an acre ahead Of western farm
values.
I used TO tell our people in Wayne
county TO hold onto their farms for the

eastern counties. Many of them re-
fused to take my advice. Today they
would be glad if they had done so.
Land that sold a few years ago for
$50 an acre and less is today 800 land.

vestment and because he can find no
