AN AGREEMENT
IOWA MINERS AND OPERATORS
IN CONVENTION YESTERDAY
HAD DISAGREEMENT AND
ADJOURNED.

Des Molnes, Ia, April 11.--Failure
to reach a preliminary agreement to
the settlement of a new wage scale
marked the joint convention of the
Iowa miners and operators today. The
refusal Of the miners to make d rule
providing for disciplinary measures
to enforce the joint agreement re-
suited in an adjournment until to-
morrow The demands OF the miners
presented by John p, White, provide
for an advance of five cents per ton
Off pick mining and corresponding
Increase on other classes; an In,
crease Of 5.55 in outside and inside
day labor, adjustment of the house
rent question, single instead OF
double work In mines, and provision
for deficient work.
The operators declare the miners
must agree to enforce the joint
agreement which they claim has been
constantly violated The miners
claim that the operators have failed
to live up to the agreements. which
they say was responsible for many
local strikes In Iowa the past two

Postmaster No More

Chris. Johnson, who has been Mer-
rills efficient postmaster for many
years, has been superseded by Z. w.
KubaSta. The contest has been in
progress for a year or more. From
all we can learn, Editor Johnson has
been taking TOO great an interest in
helping along the candidacy of LaFol-
lette, and this has turned Senator
Stephenson against him.
Mr.. Johnson tells the story thus in
his own paper, the Merrill Herald:
The long drawn out contest over the
postmastership has been settled by
President Taft appointing Mr.. f. w.
Kubasta in place of G. N. Johnson,
whose term of office expired June /.
While this may be somewhat of sur
prise to the general public, to those
on the inside of the contest, it has
been thought for some time that Mr..
Kubasta would win out. All over the
state the president has turned down
all candidates for federal appoint
ment, who were suspected of being
friendly to Senator LaFollette. 1t
has been well known that the national
administration is bent on the defeat
of the senior senator from Wisconsin,
and all federal office-holders, who
have been suspected of leaning toward
LaFollette, have had to go, efficiency
in office and the wishes of the people
not being considered. In this case
here, Senator Wright had the ear of
Senator Stephenson, Senator Stephen
son the ear of the president and the
appointment of Mr.. Kubasta followed
as a matter of course.
The settlement of the postoffice con-
test in this city, shows that President
Taft stands with the reactionary wing
of the Republican party. Mr.. john
son had the Endorsement of Congress-
man Morse, besides being practically
Endorsed by the entire business inter-
ests of the city as we'll as the people
generally. But this did not count.

The Democratic party during its
history added to our public terri
tory the lands bounded by the
Mississippi river on the east and the
Pacific ocean on the west, and con
sistently conserved these lands for
the use of the homesteaders OF the
nation. During approximately three
quarters of century of Democratic
rule there was granted to the sew
eral states in trust only for the
education of the people 81 1898, 9l9
acres of land
During the whole of that period
Democracy opposed the countless
schemes and opportunities of favor
ties and refused to grant any of the
public domain except to bona fide
homesteaders and for the purposes
of free public education.
We point to these facts of history
as evidence of the attitude of the
Democracy in respect to the con-
servation of our natural resources.
That the delegates to this con-
vention be deemed and considered
local committees in their respective
jurisdictions, charged with the duty
and responsibility of assisting the
