move of the shopmen's union. In
refusing the request for joint con-
ference made by the unions north

officials announced that conditions in
the two districts were so different
that joint conference would be use

Wrong Idea of Laundry

To many people the mere mention of
Laundry" brings up mental vision of
dark, damp steam-laden, malodorous,
"sudsy' rooms where shirts are torn to
shreds and lace-de-decked lingerie is
thrown to the doubtful mercy of whir-
ring wheels and fendish mangle-maids."
The people who visit The Iowa Steam
Laundry on August II will have all such
ideas dispelled. A tour of inspection will
give all an entirely new conception of the
modern laundry of today. Laundry ma
chinery is not made to destroy clothes
