OLD PARTIES UNITE
TO BEAT SOCIALISTS
Echoes Of Button Workers Strike
Heard in Hot Election in
Muscatine.

Muscatine has for years been the
most conservative city in Iowa. Since
the strike of the Button workers
there injustices heaped upon the
struggling men, women and children
In the button factories have been ex-
posed and a complete revolution in
political thought has taken place.
AT city election held there re-
Gently the Socialists nominated a can
didate for mayor and he became so
strong during the campaign that it
was found necessary by the old
parties to withdraw their candidates
and nominate non-partisan candi-
date to prevent the Socialist from
being elected.
When the votes were counted the
non-partisan candidate received 2,339
votes while the Socialist candidate
received 1,615. This is the first
hard fight the Socialists have made
in Muscatine.

Roosevelt IL Emphatic.
But the real big noise of the week
was the visit Of Theodore Roosevelt
to the Twin Cities on Friday. A del

Quoted him to st. Paul where he
took dinner at the Merchants Hotel
and after that made a As minute
talk to a great and enthusiastic
audience at the Auditorium.
The colonel has not yet recovered
from the effects of the primaries in
New York and his temper was not Of
the best. He scored the Republican
administration and warned the coun-
try that President Taft's renomina-
ton and reelection would mean the
tyranny Of naked wealth" in this
republic. His admirers cheered him
| to the echo as he drove home point

one William Taft
To the philosopher. who sat in the

these people support or vote for the
president after he is renominated?

is too early to note the effects of Mr.
Roosevelt's visit in the northwest, but
it is only fair to presume that it will

years been supplying groups Of Two

Of coal at wholesale. Since the So
cialists came into power at Two Har-
bors it naturally occurred to them to
have the village supply all its citizens
with coal at cost. At first the whole
sale companies demurred because the
city had no facilities for handling a.
large consignment Of black nuggets

mayor. And the Carnegie Coal COM
pany Of Duluth answered that they
would be pleased to supply the viii
lage with it's precious product.
The village booked it's orders at
prices at little under the established
retail scale. Three cars were bought
and distributed. Three more were
ordered. Then ten more. It was
tedious waiting for delivery after the
customers had filed their orders and
sometimes shivery. The village,

replied that no harm would come be-
cause the village had not used any

Wisconsin Insurance Law Proves
Great Benefit to One Injured
Workman,

ASHLAND, Wis, April 4.-That
the new state workmen's compensa-
ton law can be stretched to provide
justice for injured workmen in g.
manner that has not been dreamed
Of by employers was made manifest
today by a decision which was rem
dered by Senator A. w. Sanborn of
this city who was ppointed as a
special examiner by the Industrial
commission of the state in the case
of William H. Winter against the
Mellen Lumber company.
Winter was employed as single
sawyer by the Mellen Lumber COM
pany and lost his index finger and
thumb of his left hand while at
work. The company paid his medi-
cal bills and gave him compensation
under the law for about four weeks
while his injuries were healing and
they claimed that that ended their
sponsibility under the law, that as
he was able to start at work the Of
ficials declared that they could not be
held responsible for any further
compensation
Attorney Smith Of this city how
ever, took up the case of Winter and
pointed out to the industrial commits
sion that the company was obligated
to pay to Winter the limit permitted
under the law Of $4,000. on the
grounds that this particular injury
prevented Winter from ever again
taking up the particular trade he
had learned.
Senator Sanborn, in his decision,
held the company responsible for the
sum of $3.50 a year in favor Of Win
ter for the next fifteen years. sena-
tor Sanborn declared in his decision
that as Winter had been receiving
$14.42 week as shingle sawyer and
by reason of his injury was prevented
from doing such work and could only
get common labor at an average OF
about 50 a week this left differ.
ence of $5.42 that he lost in wages
each week by reason of his injury.
He thereupon adjudged that the
company should pay him under the
workmen's compensation law the
sum Of SIS per cent of this difference
which would be $3.50 a year and he
included in his order that this pay.
ment should be made for the mex
fifteen years.

members of the legislature and it has
been found that they are nearly
equally divided for and against an
extra session.
Governor Is Passive.
The governor up to this time has
refused to sanction a special session.
He takes the ground that there is no
demand for such session and that
the calling Of the legislature together
would simply mean extra expense to
the people. He has not stated def
nitely, however. what ne would do in
the matter and Messrs Caswell and
Lotus are keeping busy putting the
matter up to him. It is safe guess
that the extra session will not be
called.
