NO SIGNS OF SHORTAGE IN THE
IOWA PRODUCT SAYS PREsI-
DENT SMITH

Des Moines, Dec. 30.-Iowa miners
will probably demand no increase in
wages for the two-year period begin
ming on April 1, 1912, according to
President E. C. Smith of the Iowa
Coal Operators association. Wages
here will be determined by those
granted to the miners in Pennsylvania,
Mr. Smith says, and that on account OF
poor business the miners may not
even continue to get as high wages as
at present Therefore coal will prob
ably be as low as now or even lower
next year. Pc. ~
1T is a question Of how much the
consumer will stand" Mr.. Smith said.
IF the miners get another increase in
wages coal will be higher next year
and think that the consumer con-
siders coal high enough as it is
Iowa mines. in common with those
of other states, have Jared badly this
year because of the unusually mild
weather to date. The railroads have
not used their usual amount because
there have been no big storms to
struggle against. Then. too, the iron
and steel industries have demanded
less coal than in former years, Mr..
Smith says. ......
"The wage scale question will begin
to shape itself when the United Mine
Workers of America meet in annual
convention on January IA at Indian
apolis,'' Mr. Smith said, ut will then
be decided as to what the wage scale
demands of the union will be. Next
Pennsylvania will fix a scale and min
crs in the other states will make de-
mands for the same relative scale.
'The struggle in Iowa will begin
when the miners hold their state con-
yention here in March. immediately

Considerable discussion is being IN.
dLlged in by the politicians of the
Seventh district as to the effect the
passage of the Congressional re-
districting bill will have upon the pri-
mary election which was called for
March Is, and against which a re-
straining order was issued in the Fay-
cite County Court Saturday.
Under the bill. which has already
passed the Senate, and which, will no
doubt pass the House. the counties of
Lee. Estill. Powell and Clark are plac-
ed in this district. and as the bill has
an emergency clause these counties
will be part of the district when the
primary is held if the bill passes.
The question which is puzzing the
politicians of the district is that the
primary has been arranged only to be
held in the counties now composing the
Seventh district. and of course no pro-
vision has been made for the counties
that have been added. Yet if the re-
districting measure becomes a law be-
fore the primary is held the adde d
counties would naturally demand that
they have voice in selecting their
congressman. The matter has been
discussed in its various phases and the
conclusions widely differ.

passengers, and train crew were saved
from death. The train was running at
rate of about forty-five miles an

the engine jumped the track and ran
for distance of several hundred. yards
before it could be stopped. The Loco
motive was brought to stop at the
edge of a steep cliff. overlooking
