Dubuque, April 27.-State officers OF
the Iowa Fish and Game Protective As
ISOLATION, with headquarters in this
city, have given a resume Of the new
laws relating to game and fish.
The law abounds in minor changes
but it also embodies some very funda-
mental and essential alterations which
are more worthy Of consideration.
Probably the most obviously admir-
able improvement is the provision plac-
ing the game wardens on a straight
salary of $3.50 per day and expenses.
Such deputy wardens are empowered
to enforce the provisions of the game
laws, and all the mechanism of the law
is behind them. They may make ar
rests without warrant to furnish bonds
conditioned for the faithful perform
ance Of their duty.
No Sale Of Fish.
1t is no longer lawful for a fisherman
to have forty game fish, such as bass.
pike or pickerel, in his possession at
one time The limit on these fish here
Perhaps the most salient feature OF
the fish legislation is the provision
reading: ut shall be unlawful for any
firm, persons or corporation to offer
for transportation or to transport to
any place within or without this state
for purposes of sale, any game fish
taken from the inland waters of the
state" This is calculated to put an end
to the professional despoiling of Iowa S
game waters, and should prove effect
i've in checking the tremendous drain
which has been gradually wiping out
the sport.
The law formerly making 1t illegal
to fish within 800 feet of fishway was
amended to read "other than by a rod.
line, hook and bait" These comments
and quotations embrace the more i'm
portant features of the new laws SO far
as they regard fishing.
Fifty Ducks Limit.
A s25 fine or thirty days in Jail
await the use Of the SNEAK boat" and
the new law makes it illegal likewise
to kill game from any water convey
ance, except as propelled by oar or
paddle.
Section 1852, relating to the killing
of game for traffic, is repealed and in
part the following is substituted:
mo person shall at any time or at
any place within this state trap, shoot
OF kill for traffic any of the birds, an
imals or game named in this chapter
nor shall any person shoot or kill more
than twenty-five in one day Of any
kind of said named birds or animals
nor have more than twenty-five in his
possession at any time unless lawfully
received for transportation, provided

Iowa Telephone Company to Erect
Permanent office at Hampton.
Special to Times-Republican
Hampton, April 27.-Officials of the
Iowa Telephone Company have been in
this city within the past few days, and
it is quite certain that one of the
most important of the matters that
engaged their attention while here, was
the securing of suitable site for the
erection of a permanent office building
for the housing of their central office
appliances. Options were secured on a
number of suitable pieces of ground,
and it is expected that if no hitch oc-
ours in the plans, a new fire. proof
central office building will be among
the improvements to be added to
Hampton this summer.
The officials who were here were
George Mcfarland, vice president and
general manager, and c. e. Hall, gem

after his death 1t was found that he
had left $4,000 in the Davenport

iginally from Jamaica and a search

the money now goes to the county

cd strike for five months have
signed 4 bill of settlement with the

ADDRESSES
Yale Students on "The Church and
Workingman"- "--Defends Unions
and Refutes "Dead Lever'
Charge.

John Mitchell, former president
OF the United Mine Workers,
recently delivered an address to
the students Of the Yale Divinity
School in Marquand Chapel, which
was crowded, or The Church
and the Workingman.O He said
in part:
~ shall not even attempt to
suggest Il panacea for the ills of
which society so bitterly com-
plains, but | do wish to point out
some Of the things the organized
workmcn of our country are doing
to ameliorate the conditions under
which wage earners live and work.
"lt is frequently charged against
the union that in policy and
practice it reduces to dead level
all the men employed in a given
trade. This charge is Il libel and
prctcncc. The labor union fixes a
minimum wage, not L maximum
wage, and the employer is at per-
feet liberty to reward the cspe-
cially efficient or ambitious work
man by paying him higher wages
than are fixed by the union. AS
a matter of fact the EMPLOYERS
fix a maximum wage at the same
point at which the union fixes the
minimum wage. and what is true
OF wages is also true when applied
to hours of labor or other CON
dltlons of employment. This plin-
ciple of trade unionism will ex-
plain many of the seeming pc
cuilarlties and many of the nllmer-
Gus rules of labor organizations
