First Labor Troubles.

Button cutters affected say that the
company is making the reduction be-
cause of the decline in the price of
buttons. They contend that while
the price of buttons was up they re-
ceived no more compensation for their
work, and now should not be made to
suffer because of the lower price.
This is the first labor trouble ex-
perienced in Keokuk for long time.
Involving nearly one hundred men, as
1t does, it affects many wage earners
and those dependent upon them

ed. Since that hour Secretary Ken.
drick has been busy taking the matter
up with the higher Office.
A Written Contract.
When the button factory came to
Keokuk written agreement was
made, which was to the effect that
the men employed must receive the
average scale paid in factories here
abouts. This scale may be somewhat
lower than the scale at Muscatine, but
in that city it is much more difficult
to secure men. 1t was also provided
for in the contract that seventy-five
men must be employed at machines
continuously, when it is possible to
secure them.
This afternoon superintendent Alex
ander refused to discuss the situation
at any length. He stated that the
company here has been paying more
than anywhere else for the smaller
buttons, and that the new scale was
only reduced to meet figures IN other
factories

w. G. MAXWELL, Wabash Traffic Man
aser, Tells of Troubles Of Lines,
Before Railroad Commission
in New York.
URGES INCREASE RATES
Advance VIII not be Noted in Cost
of Living, Adds Former keokuk
Man Who has Made Mark in
Railroad World.

Regarding the testimony of W. G.
Maxwell before the interstate railway
commission at New York, dispatch
says:
w. c. Maxwell, general traffic man
ager of the Wabash railroad, today
said the freight rates on that road
We're SO low that every man on the
line is forced to do two mems work
in order that both ends may meet :"
Mr.. Maxwell was testifying before
the interstate commerce commission
in an effort to show that the increased
rates proposed by the company and
held up by the commission were just.
I'VE operate an expeditions mer-
chandise service he added. in re-
Spouse to the shippers demands we
have had to carry goods in lightly
loaded cars. This is expensive traf-
ic and we get $3.50 as our share of
the S75 for that class rate to Chicago,
and with higher wages and increased
terminal charges we do not believe
we can make cent out of it. We
must have more money to live"
Small Increase In Living.
Mr.. Maxwell was asked how adj
vanced rates would affect the cost of
living, and he replied it would add
perhaps mills to the cost of pair
of shoes sent to Chicago or st. Louis
from Massachusetts. He thought a
dozen eggs sent east from St Louis
would have to pay IL mills more
freight charges.
Hugh L. Bond, counsel for the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, submitted
data of wages and increased costs of
supplies requested by the shippers
several days ago. A number of addi-
tional tables asked for by the Ship
pers were placed upon the record by
Mr.. Butterfield of the New York Cen
trail railroad

ing the holdings of more than twenty
different companies has been consum.
mated, according 70 a dispatch from
George {. Priestly of Bartlesylie.
who has been IN New York for the
past lew days working on the deal.
The purchaser does not represent the
STANDARD Oil company. as was rumor.
ed for some time. but is a representa-
tive of Holland capitalists, who, IL IL
said intends the products for export.
and will build pipe line TO the gull.
Rumors have been in the air for
some time that large transactions III
this oil field We're on foot, but nothing
definite could be ascertaned until
within the past few days. when IL
became known that options had been
taken on property with production
totalling 10000 barrels a day.
The options were to be taken up
on April /, and as nothing had been
heard at that time, it was feared the
matter had fallen through; but Mr..
Priestly's telegram of today indicated
that letters of acceptance had been
mailed in New York April /, in ac-
COrdanCe viii the terms of the
agreement.
1t was widely believed at first that
the Standard Oil company was the
interested party behind those who ap
peared in the deal. with the object OF
obtaining a further grasp on the oil
situation in Oklahoma. 1t is now au
thoritatiyely stated, however, that the
purchasers are Holland capitalists
who intend the entire production foi
export and who will build pipe
line to the gulf for that purpose.
The consideration involved for the
numerous properties sold will run
largely over $5,000,000. About twen
" companies will turn over their
holdings. besides a number of indi
vidual operators, among the mos
prominent of whom are II. V. Foster
II. D. Hood \. $. Sutton and George

tend to increase the price of oil. and
