DIES MONIES. la. Sept. l6.-tSpecial
Telegram LIVERY union coal miner in
iowa may be called out on a strike within
the next few weeks. The executive board
OF the Miners union of the Thirteenth
district characterizes the situation as "ex-
trenely serious" and states that the matter
in dispute, a question Of arbitration Of a
case occurring a he Excelsior coal mine
Pekin, easily may grow into one of
statewide Importance.
II is practically assured that operations
at the Excelsior mine will be suspended
indefinitely or until the arbitration, which
the miners desire, is granted by the eXecu-
tive board. Between unionists and opera
tors, it is stated the question is over a
case which was brought up July 81, before
the Joint board of operators and miners.
II is held by the unionists that the manage
ment of the Excelsior has, while operat-
ing under closed shop agreement, dis
eliminated against the more active men,
bers OF the union.
Des Moines business men and the officers
of the Iowa Manufacturers association are
elated over the decision of Judge McPher-
son today in the express rate cases and
declare that it means an immense impetus
to business in the state II the higher
courts do not interfere now
The victory in the express rate cases
is of great Importance to Iowa shippers
and especially to merchants and jobbers
who do a heavy express business in small
packages" said George Cosson, attorney
general who conducted the fight for the
state.
The most important victory, I believe,
is that lowering the minimum merchandise
rate from 25 cents to 20 cents. That is the
rate which will save Des Moines mer-
chants and, and fact, business houses all
over the state, the most money"
The attorneys for the express companies
say they will appeal the case Immediately.

Guye Would Bring

He May Call Meeting Soon to Discuss
Means of Inducing Greater
immigration.

Deputy State Commissioner Youis V.
Guye oontemplates calling a conference OF
commercial clubs and representatives. OF
other semi-public and public bodies OF the
state, between now and November s. to
discuss means for further development OF
Nebraska agriculture through inducing
immigration. lie has sent out a statement
in the matter to newspapers and CONNER
cial clubs and will call the meeting II suf-
ficient interest is shown
Mr.. Guye sent the letter as acting inn
migration official Of Nebraska and secre-
tary-treasurer Of the National Association
Of state immigration officials. He says
in part:
The area Of our state is 1924 square
miles, with ~ square miles OF water sur
face, thus giving us an acreage OF a.
1880, of which 1S.590S77 acres was sown
to crops in the season OF 1911 including
the acreage Of wild and tame hay The
total of all farms listed by the assessors
we're 2s,542.30O acres. which also includes
pasture lands. showing that approximately
every other acre Of land in Nebraska is
untitled.
There are $500 owners and 45,ls5 tenant
farmers in 1911. as against SSH owners
and 4757S tenants in 1910 which shows a
decrease OF 2t4s tenant farmers While
the government report shows the average
size Of the Nebraska farm 10 be PCS acres
in 1910, our figures for 1911 show a con-
tinued increase in the size Of the farms
and decrease in the number OF tenant
farmers, the general tendency Of the
farmers being TO reach out for more and
more land.
In other words Nebraska with a popula-
ton Of 1.ls2,2l4 and with only one half
Of our land under cultivation, ana with
each farmer having approximately 800
acres Of land in 1910, disposed of surplus
products to the value OF $S45, lbs. PIG, or an
amount Of produce sufficient to feed
100000 people. What then would have
been the results II every acre Of land were
TILED and each farmer were tiling only
an acreage upon which he could produce
the best results from the application of
scientific methods Of cultivation"

The vocational schools must be in

shall be a trained sgriculturalist TO be

experiments on the different farms in the
country illustrate the proper methods Of
tiling crops. of rotating them. and who
shall give the benefit of his experience as
to the proper organization OF farms. as
well as the Improvement in the breed Of
plants and in the breed OF cattle and
