IDLE men BLAME TARIFF
Davenport District, Normally Demo
cratic, Goes Republican.
LARGE FACTORIES ARE CLOSED
Unemployed Men Trace Suspension
20 Effect OF Underwood Tariff
Act-Free Employment
Agency Opened.
(From a staff Correspondent. }

DIES MONIES. Ia, Nov. l5.-(speoial)-
One Of the leading reasons why the re.
cent election in Iowa changed three dem
ocratic congressional districts into repub-
lican districts is appearing at Davenport
That Is in Scott county. which gave
Harry Hull. republican. over 1900 ma
iority. whereas it Is normally 1000 to .eoc
democratic. The change in the one
county alone was enough TO have changed
the district. But HUI made a remark
ably strong run all over the district.
This week there was opened up In
Davenport free employment agency.
The necessity for this agency is declared
to be the cause for the big change in the
district Labor conditions had become
intolerable aud the iaboring element
voted for the change. There are big fac
tories and plants in Davenport, and the
immense steel plant at Bettendorf, near
there. Then Rock Island and Moline,
across the river. are Industrial centers.
Thousands OF these workmen have been
thrown out Of work, and they have been
able to trace their misfortune directly 10
the tariff changes made by the present
congress. This was a great influence in
the election
Three or four hundred of the laboring
men out Of work registered at once at
the free employment agency. and places
are being found for as many as possible.
The mayor is at the head Of the bureau.
1t is expected that many Of the men will
be able to find work on farms In eastern
Iowa, but tho distress is sure to be more
that usual the coming winter.
Similar labor conditions are already
showing themselves here in Des Moines
and In other cities OF the state, though as
a rule the Iowa industries have been wen
maintained. The depression Is being felt
in all lines, and It is expected that unless
the foreign trade routes can be opened
there will be much idleness.
1t is expected that the report of the

muddle over a proposed street car fran
chise, The city council and the repre-
sentative here OF tho owners failed to
agree ON a franchise. Then tho oompa ny
had it's attorney frame up n franchise
and is preparing to submit It to the voters.
But again there is disagreement. because
the mayor and the legal department of
the city claim the right to submit at the
same time several other propositions to
bo voted on by the people. These PROPOSE
tions would, if adopted, materially modify
the franchise proposed. The controversy
arises over two sections in the commits
sion law for submitting matters to the
public. The chances are that the matter
will first go into court for n decision. II
the mayor has his way, the franchise
voted to the company may have attached
to It provisions that will make It not

Corn Gifts from Iowa People.
The committee in charge of securing

The committee was named by the gov
