Des Moines, Sept 7.-There is con-
siderable alarm over the prospects Of a
renewal Of the street car trouble here.
Fred Fay. member OF the interna-
tional board, of the street car mems
union. arrived in tDes Moines to-
.doy to discuss the present contro-
.versy between the Des Moines City
railway officials and the union men
with local labor leaders according to
an announcement by officials Of the
street car mems union today.
Mr. Pay condncted the affairs OF the
union men during the recent car strike.
That the present trouble, which arose
over the discharge of four employees OF
the street car company for alleged vio-
lation OF the company's rules, may re-
suit in another strike. is the belief of
a few local street car men.
Conductor Hiatt. whose discharge
was the cause OF the strike, and whose
reinstatement was ordered in an in
junction issued by Judge DeGraff
which put an end to the strike, was
among the four ordered to turn in a
few days ago.
To Demand Mems Reinstatement.
For the hrst time since the recent
break between the Des Moines City
Railway and It's employees the prospect
for q strike assumed more serious pro-
portions this afternoon when 1t was
announced that the union would make
an Immediate demand for the rein-
statement Of the employees discharged.
The, executive committee will call
upon General Manager Harrigan with
the request that Conductors Hiatt and
Bruce. and Motorman Roberts, who is
member Of the executive committee,
be returned to their old positions.
in the event this densand is refused
q dcnssnd Tor arbitrat ti6n Will be made.
In view Of the previously Dolicy Of the
street car coaanany it iseexpected this
demand also will sbe refused. A special
meeting OF union members will be held
at 1880 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Special to Times Republican.
iowa City, Sept. 7.-The Iowa state
board OF education at its meeting In
vinton today voted to appropriate the
old Unitarian church on Iowa avenue
and Clinton street for the purpose OF
student union in the State University
Of Iowa The board also appropriated
a small sum Of money in order that
the building may be equipped at once
with comfortable reading rooms and
with dining room where good board
at moderate cost will be offered to
about l25 boys. The organization of
the union has not as yet been COM
pleted, but it's management will be un-
der the control Of a board, made up OF
representatives from the student body.
from the Y. NJ. c. a., and from the
faculty Of the university. In making
the request that the union be estab-
lished, President John G. Bowman
said:
Briefly. the purpose of the iowa
Union is to make for higher quality
Of student citizenship. From the
English universities we inherit tradt-
tions of personal culture. as part OF
college education. but, except IN our
oldest universities. these ideals have
been. neglected in America. The new
use now Of the old Unitarian church Is
an effort in this direction: 1t Is an
effort to organize college life around
leisure hours as well as around hours
OF work to the end Of training gentle
men.
SIN the Iowa unions. there Will be
comfortable reading and writing rooms
and rooms for the meetings OF commits
tees and associations. There VIII be
provided board which is good and at
the same time moderate In cost. But
above all the union is to be a. place
where the habit Of true gentlemanliness
will impress itself upon, our student
life and upon the state. 1t VIII make
this habit stick. Ihave confidence that
with the opportunity the boys of Iowa
will use the union In this way Tor
higher culture and better scholarship.
College sentiment, that evasive thing
which goes all thru a boys nature.
will advance straight toward honesty.
With half a chance we shall live more
in the unselfish habit, in the fearless
habit. in the habit OF standing alone on
two feet and Of thinking straight. 1t Is,
In nv Judgment. no undue optimism
to believe that we may live IN Iowa IN
a spirit OF honor. and ambition which Is
unsurpassed"

a strike OF rhe federated shop ems

any character was deferred until mems
bers of the executive board OF the ln-
ternational Association OF Machinists
should meet In this city next Sunday.
The International committee decided
that 1t would be unwise to grant the
sanction OF the international organfxa-
agreed to turn responsibility over to
the committee Of tho federation OF the
Illinois Central shop workmen.
Later, however, p. j. Conlin. vice

turning over responsibility to the sys-
tenn federation representatives until tho

members Of the board, were tele-
graphed for and they will arrive Suns

President McCreery would not reveal.
II was reported, however. that many
OF the international officers. after q
