LABOR FOR CLARKE.

In the present campaign which is
now closing, the Iowa Labor move
ment finds itself confronted with a
duty which it should make every hon
est effort to perform. We find in the
candidacy of George w. Clarke for
governor, man who has proven him-
self true to our movement, and who,
because of his position Of absolute
fairness to all interests, has earned
the utmost confidence Of every ele-
ment of our citizenship to whom good
government means more than mere
platform platitudes and campaign ora
tory.
1t is urged by the executive board
OF the Iowa State Federation OF
Labor that the individual members or
Iowa trade unions, who through their
various organizations, are insistently
urging such reforms as will give to
the wage earners their just rights in
the way OF legislative enactments
still necessarily these members be
at all consistent or practical in their
demands-raI1y as unit to the sup
port of George w. Clarke, because of
his record in the past.
While organized labor Is expecting
Justice in these matters OF public vel
fare, we should not and cannot forget
men of the type and character OF
George w. Clarke, who has given the
best services possible in the earlier
stages of the labor movement and
time Of bitter opposition on the part
of those most antagonistic to the
common people.

such an advantage is in fact reduc-
ton from the established lawful rate
and becomes a violation of the law.
1t is only fair to state that the lar
ger shippers. the big reputable firms
all over the country, are fully alive
to their responsibility under the Law
and do not and will not allow the least
misdescription or false weight to 20
out OF their houses, and there are
some of them that even report to the
railroads when they discover they
have been undercharged and insist
that corrections to the higher rate on
higher weight be made at once. These
are the shippers whom the railroads
and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission are in duty bound to protect
by prosecuting their competitors in
business who try to obtain an unfair
advantage by misdescribing their
goods or by giving false weights. It's
the smaller merchant that still thinks
he is smart if he can ship edged tools
or coffin trimmings as Hardware" or
smuggle pianos into car OF furni-
ture or bill case goods at net weights
instead OF gross.
The various weighing and inspec.
tion bureaus are conducting a cam

NEIGHBORS SAY PUGILISTIC
WOMEN ANNOY THEM
Noisy Punching Bag Leads to
Court Squabble.

The trials and fluctuations of a
landlady, who has to deal with the
pugilistic tendencies of a tenant,
were aired before Judge Herr in the
Fourth Precinct Court today, when
Mrs. Anna Obernauer. of 673 South
Eleventh street, had two of her for
err tenants, both women, arraigned on
a charge of malicious mischief.
They were Mrs. Mary Weber, of 6S2
South Eleventh street, who it a
alleged kept the neighbors awake
far into the night with the aid of a
particularly noisy punching bag, and
Mrs. Bertha Widoff, of 119 Lincoln
street, Jersey City. Both were paroled
on their own recognizance for the
grand jury.
When Mrs. Obernauer purchased
the property at 675 South Eleventh
street on July l, both women lived in
the house. On the information from
neighbors of the pugilistic tendencies
of Mrs. Weber and Mrs. Widoff she
stated that she gave both notice to
move. Then the alleged retaliatory
acts took place. In the complaint
they were charged with having de-
stroyed all of the wallpaper and paint
throughout their rooms. The damage
was placed at $50.
