COUNCIL ACTS
FAVORAbLY ON
MORRILL, TAX
Continued From Page -

the Morrell firm in it's intention to
shut down the plant here. He stated
that these men represented between
1000 and 5000 persons who would
be thrown on the city without susie
nance during the close-down and pend
ing the finding of other employment.
It's effect on the merchant was also
cited.
On Mercy of City.
Harry McConkey, in charge of the
slaughtering department in the PORK
branch of the concern, stated that his
orders from the firm were to the ef'
feet that upon the conclusion Of the
killing Friday (today) his force OF
men, boys and girls should clean up
all of their work in the various de.
partments and then should be laid
off Indefinitely. He stated that the av'
erage wage Of these employees is about
$3.50 per day. Continuing, he stated
that many Of those under his charge
were men who had worked years to
acquire their trade of meat cutters
and butchers, and that having it as
their source of livelihood they needed
a place to use their trade If they
would live and provide for those de-
pendent on them. The closing down
of the plant with no other similar
concern here, would prove an irrepar~
able damage to them and cause many
to leave Ottumwa, while others would
have to seek employment at a much
cheaper wage, thus reducing their
income and their means of livelihood.
Ask for Help of Body.
John F. Denefe was the next speak
er and stated that the employees came
not as dictators, but rather to ask the
help of the councilmen in situation
which to the workmen spelled ruin
and disaster to a large extent-hard-
ship to all and an unpleasantness that
only the council at this time could pre-
vent. He said that the action Of the al
dermen was not criticized: that it was
not a question of whether the tax as
sessment was too high or too low, but
rather that the council come to the
assistance of the workmen and their
families by using it's good Offices to
amicably adjust and settle the trouble
that threatened so many Ottumwans.
He told of the circular handed to the
employees and the instructions given
him to discharge his men when the
work was done Friday. He asked that
a committee be sent from the council
to the packing firm directors. whom

Ravens and the hapsburas.

Henri de Weiddel tells the story OF
the late Empress Elizabeth and the
ravens which MauTus Jokel gave in
an article at the time of her majesty's
tragic death.
Early in her life Elizabeth wrote
some verses in Hungarian on the sub
ject of the raven, the bird of i'll omen,
which plays a great part in the his
tory of the HapsbuTgs. According to
the imperial poetess a flight Of ravens
was lowering over Olmutz when Fran
els Joseph received from his uncle's
hands the crown which was destined
to infiict him with such miseries.
A raven followed Maximilian and
Charlotte on their last walk befors
their departure for Mexico, and when
Maria Christina was starting to re-
ceive the crown of Spain, which was
one day to be so grievOus a burden,
a raven flew over the horses heads
and accompanied the carriage to the
railway station. These incidents were
the subject of the poem.
