benefit of the base ball club.
Overlooking the numerous "bull''
yarns that are waited from the Pearl
City, Tuesdays Muscatine Journal
takes this crack at what it terms a
bear" story printed in the Courier:
A bear story Of the real wild
and woolv collegiate sort, the kinS that
every prize-fighter and football team
always sends out on the eve Of an i'm
portant battle. emanates from Ottum-
wa today anent the Y. M. c. A. basket
ball team of that city. When the Packer
five meets the local stars at Iowa City
for the state title tomorrow night, they
will be the most crippled team which
ever represented Ottumwa-to believe
the wall of pessimism coming from that
city.
Three of the star players of the Of
tumwa five are seriously crippled, &C
cording to the report. Here is list Of
casualties: Mike Mier, wrenched ankle;
Joe Leisenring, bad arm and boils on
neck; Walter Johnson, sick.
Because of the above injuries, the
Ottumwa Courier says Coach Eige-
mann will cause big shift in the line
up of the team. Epps, the lad who star
red against the locals here, will play at
center, while Mike Mier, he with the
injured ankle. Will play guard. Suits
man will go into the game for the
first time in many weeks and will play
forward with Jake Mier Barnes, a
substitute, will play guard.

An 1nidentlfied woman, past iifty. well

She was found early gtpday IN the Sara

Physicians at the county hospital say
the woman is suffering from a severe

COTTON SCHEDULE
WILL Be CAUSE Of
DEMOCRATIC ROW
That Tariff and One on Sugar
Expected To Make
Trouble Soon.

Representatives of the cotton fac
tories have already got busy to look
after the interests Of the manufactures
when the Democrats revise the tarifr.
The first thing they have satisfied them
selves about Is that there will be an
extra session next spring and that the
cotton schedule Is sure OF revision. Hav-
Ing removed all question on this point,
they are directing attention to the ques-
tion OF how the cotton schedule shall
be revised and they are working to
prevent cuts that will hurt the manu-
facturere.
1t was learned here today that rep
resentatives OF the cotton nanufactur-
Ing interests have been feeling out
Southern Senators and members Of Con-
gress and they have been urging on
them. Chairman Underwood and others,
that to pass the Underwood cotton bill
Of last session would ruin a large num-
Der of the Southern factories which
make coarse cotton goods. 1t is repre-
sented by the. cotton mon that, where
a. the New England mills are In shape
to stand reductions fairly well. the
Southern mills In many cases are not.
This means In effect that number Of
the Southern members OF House and
Senate are going to stand out against
deep reductions In the cotton schedule.
especially reductions which will seri-
ously affect their territory. Senator
Overmnn IL mentioned as one Of those
who will fight large reductions. but
there will be a number Of others.
Cotton men have found out that as
a matter Of fact the reason there was
comparatively little uproar from MEM
bers Of House and Senate from the
Southern cotton mill districts last ses-
sion over the Underwood cotton bill Is
that everybody knew 1t could not be-
come law.
The situation is such that It points
almost inevitably to clash among the
Democrats over the cotton schedule
The sugar schedule has been much
talked OF as a bone of contention over
which the Democrats In Senate and
House will split. With the cotton sched-
ule certain to be added to this as
source OF pickering It Is plain the out
look for the extra session Is not d
happy one for Democratic harmony.

The Keynote of Health

Scientists have - definitely learned
that the Liver is one of the most i'm
portant organs of the human system.
II Is the sieve which separates the
good from the bad. the nutriment from

torpid or Inactive, the poison Is sent
through the system and disease Is the
result. First you become bilious and
constipated and later the consequences
are more serious. Nobody can live as

ROCHESTER,. N. Y, Nov. l5.-In an
e'tempt to settle all of the disputed
questions which have threatened to
cause serious friction in the American
federation of Labor, the various COM
nittees got down to business today.
All OF the committees had momentous
problems to deal with, but interest GEN.

oincers and organization.
president Gompers action In natiy
opposing a political party composed ex-
ciusively of labor had aroused intense
bitterness among the Socialists present,
Out they we're in the minority and were
expected to do all of their fighting be-
hnd the closed doors Of the committee
room.
NonSkilled Workers.
A complete and comprehensive plan
OF organization of non-skilled workers
VIII be considered by the convention
next week. The plan, as outlined in
me committee today. provides for the
oesignation OF number of general Or
sanizers who will work directly among
Inc unskilled workers and endeavor to
end the monopoly heretofore held by
the Industrial Workers Of the World.
1t was believed today that this action
VIII precipitate a fight between the two
examinations within the next few
months.
The committee also considered a plan
Tor more concerted action in securing
labor legislation. It is expected that Il
number OF general bills will be approved
oy the convention and will be intro
duced In every State legislature.
Because the committees are far be-
hind In their work the convention was
forced to mark time" TODAY and no
business was transacted. Most OF tho
leading delegates were in attendance on
the committee sessions and the ma jor-
ity OF the delegates not so employed
were taken on n sightseeing trip.
Schedule Abandoned.
The session scheduled for tomorrow
has been abandoned and President Com
pers said nothing but committee work
would be transacted until Monday.
At that time the complete program
will be ready and everything will be
rushed through. Gompers was given
assurances today that there would be
no renewal of the bitterness OF the
past conventions. While the anti-ad-
mfnistration forces will voice their pro-
tests on the floor they will content
themselves with entering formal dis
sent and let It go at that. This action
followed a series Of conferences among
the leaders Of the antis. which insures
a decidlS harmonious ending of the
conyenth,
