MARsHALLToWN's NEW ORD
NANCE REDUCES PRICE PAID
FOR WATER.

Marshalltown, Sept. pa lower
water rate for factories Of the city
was proposed in an amendment to the
old water rate ordinance presented
before the city council by Councilman
Clark. The amendment reduces the
rate to fiat rate of cents for each
1000 gallons, according to meter meas
urement
Because 1t was not just clear to
members of the council what sort OF
manufacturing plants came under the
head of factories, the amendment was
allowed to go no farther than the first
reading.
During the interval, before the ordi-
nance comes UP again, the old water
rate ordinance is to be investigated
and perhaps the entire ordinance will
be revised.
The rate factories have been paying
under the old ordinance rage from II
to Ia cents per 1000 gallons. The new
ordinance is to be effective at all fac
tories excepting those which have a
special water contract with the city
for period Of years.

leading feature Of the entertainment TO be
given at the parish hall OF ST. Thomas
Church under the auspices OF the Ladies'

The sketch derives its title from the as
pirations OF an ancient splnster to become
a grand opera singer. This worthy lady
has a highly exaggerated opinion OF the
charms of her voice and person. and
through her position Of private secretary
to wealthy society woman. sees a letter
intended for her employer. which is signed
with the name of a famous grand opera
impresario.
She answers the letter in her employers

him the composer of a new opera, which
he is about to produce. They try the

is about to be realized Everybody is
happy and the impresario makes violent

Action of Mrs. Matthew T. scott in

With the elimination Of Miss Agnes

drawn. and the action Of Mrs. Matthew
T. Scott. the president general, viii 90
before the coming congress on a question
Of the eonsutuuonality of her act
Whatever the outcome there is little
doubt but the final settlement Of the
discord that has been engendered will
rest with the courts.
The payrolls were prepared yesterday

Of Mrs. Lyman 3. Swormstedt, the cor
responding secretary, the money was
drawn and the employees paid.
The conservatives. as those who are
opposing Mrs SCOTS action are known.
yesterday attacked the action Of Mrs.
Bertha NJ. Robbins in appealing to the
various regents to discountenance Miss
Wflcox's recent circular letter.
Mrs Robbins. they state, as the regent
of Judge Lynn Chapter. represents one
OF the youngest and smallest chapters.
and that the vast preponderance Of opin-
ion among the older and larger chapters
will not support her.
In her resolution Mrs. Robbins holds
that the circular sent out by Miss Wilcox
was without the knowledge or consent OF
the regents; that they DO not consider
that there has been any illegal action
on the part of the president general"
and that they protest at an action that
could only have been ordered by the ma
tlonal board Of the continental congress.
The Washington herald., 1910-04-01

Washington became the battle-ground Of
the fight OF striking employees Of the
Bethlehem Steel Company yesterday,
when a delegation hurried here to con-
front body Of business men who petit
toned Representative A. NJ. Palmer, OF
Pennsylvania, TO use his influence to
have the United States government award
contracts to the Bethlehem Company.
The workmen charged the business men
had been induced to take action by threats
Of Bethlehem officials to permanently
close the plant, and thus destroy the
business of the town.
inexperienced Men Employed.
They further charged the works are
now lily equipped. manned with mex
perienced men, and the placing OF con-
tracts will not only result in the loss Of
many lives by reason Of unfamiliarity
with the works. but that the projeetiles
and armor plate VIII be Of such inferior
quality as to seriously endanger the lives
Of the men behind the guns
The spokesman for the employees was
Jacob Tazelaar, general organizer OF the
American Federation Of Labor. who was
accompanied by David Millinape. chair
man OF the executive committee Of the
strikers. and J. P. Lorsheley, member Of
the town council. who is also one OF the
strikers.
Tazelaar said all employers had been
securing the country for competent men,
while the trained employees OF the Beth
lehem company were obtaining places
rapidly elsewhere He charged that
large numbers Of incompetent men are
now working at starvation wages.
Six Countries Notified.
As a consequence the strikers recently
formulated a statement Of facts and for
warded a copy to each government with
which the works had contracts, including
United States. Argentina, Italy. Russia,
Turkey, and Hungary.
The resolutions further stated that IT
was within the power OF the Bethlehem
company TO end the strike at any time,
and that in view Of their failure TO 90 so,
the governments should Insist upon the
imposition Of the penalty for failure TO
deliver within contract time.
on Tuesday last Charles Schwab in
person summoned prominent business men
Of Bethlehem 10 his Office and advised
them that II the present strike continued
the works would be permanently closed,
and the town thereby crippled.
When the delegation Of business men
came here yesterday they were surprised
to find Mr.. Tazelaar and his companions
awaiting them in Representative Palmer
Office. Following an extended argument.
Mr.. Palmer stated that it was upon his
request the governments investigation
was now under way. He said he did not
feel at liberty 10 take any action now.
A copy Of a resolution adopted by the
executive committee OF the striking
employees was placed IN his hands. similar
to one sent TO every member or Congress.
