MOYER MAKES REPORT
FAvoRs THE INAUGURATION OF
MINE UNIONS.
President of National Organization As
sails Butte Seceders and Calls !.
w. w. Action "Biot on Labor"

| Western Newspaper Union Nsws Service.
Denver.-An invitation from tho
United Mine Workers OF America Is
all that is needed to bring about an
amalgamation with the Western FEEDER
alton Of Miners.
That was the message which Chas.
H. Meyer. president of the federation
gave to the convention in his biennial
report. 1t is expected that within .
year the two unions will be Joined. IS
the United Mine Workers have already
manifested favorable attitude toward
q merger.
Meyers report, which contained g..
900 words, dealt chiefly with the Calu-
met strike, the Butte insurrection and
the work Of the International Mining
Congress.
For the loss of the Bingham Canon.
Utah, strike he blames the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers. He
charges they refused to leave their
engines.
That committee be appointed to
work in conjunction with the United
States bureau of mines, in order to
bring about a greater degree of safe
ty in mines, was another thing advo-
Gated by Meyer.
The report asked that states pass
legislation to prevent mortality from
consumption. due to dust-laden atmos-
phere in the mines that laws penal
izing corporations for compelling sur
render of membership cards in labor
unions. and laws giving labor the right
to organize be passed.
The Butte insurrection, he said, was
the greatest crime ever perpetrated
against labor and would leave blot
that could never be obliterated. He
suggested that Butte No. / union be
reorganized and that the l. w. W.'s
whom he charged with responsibility
for wrecking the union, be exposed.
He defied those who have been cry
ing graft" to prove their accusations.
The Butte trouble, he said, was start
ed by man who said that assessment
money was being used to buy farms,
automobiles and mansions" for Meyer.
1t is probable that his recommenda.
tions on reorganization will be In
dorsed by the convention.

Ottumwa merchants are giving en-
phasis, as Is usual at this time of the
year, to the necessity for donning
something new, and they take ingeni-
GUS ways of announcing their wares
to the public. In the fall of the year,
when the leaves have turned to vari-
ETY. of colors, they form very i'm
portant and beautiful mode of window
decoration, and several local stores
have made use of them. Show win
dows play big part in the advertis-
ing of merchant today and it takes
an expert in this line to render win
dow attractive to the passerby. AT
the more beautiful windows, every
night are seen groups of people, look
ing at the latest clothing and wearing
apparel, the stores making use of
countless lights to show off the goods
at night Many of the windows have
some special reference to the APP

windows improve the looks of the
streets in general, giving the city a

1oEMRARRAsS u s.

England and France have appea.ed
to the United States to exercise it's
good Offices to compel Colombia and
Ecuador to observe more strictly the
requirements of neutrality. In other
words England and France say to the
United States, "Your Monroe doctrine
interferes with our taking the kind of
action best calculated to get results
and therefore it is up to you to get
the results for u.s." That puts the
United States to the necessity of hav-
ing to butt into" the sQuabble to
some extent at least and may result
in embarrassment to the administra-
ton.
J The allies claim that Colombia is
permitting the maintenance of a
high power wireless plant on the
Pacific coast which is in communica-
ton with the German warships in the
Pacific ocean, and which keeps them
posted as to the whereabouts of the
enemy's cruisers and also the enemy's
merchantmen. Colombia has censor
at the plant, but it is charged that he
fails to do his duty and that the OPP
orators, who are Germans, are violat-
ing the rules of neutrality all the time.

REASON 70 BE THANKFUL.

Americans and especially Iowans,
have many reasons for returning
heartfelt thanks to the divine ruler
on this day which has been set apart
by custom as general day of thanks
giving. With over half of the world
engaged or interested in the great
European struggle, with thousands of
men being killed and thousands of
women and children in danger of
starvation as the result of the war,
there is peace everywhere under the
stars and stripes. The past year has
seen the production of enormous crops
in nearly all parts of the nation and
on the whole the country is very pros
porous Business is not all that it
might be and work is not easily Sc
cured. but the country is SO infinitely
better off than most others, that Amer
leans certainly have occasion to be
thankful 1t is fitting, then, that we
gather together and thank the Creator
for the blessings that are ours and it
would not be amiss to offer up a
prayer that the woes of the sufferers
in Europe may be lessened. Thanks
giving should be more than a mere
turkey feast this year.
