Current scale of wages, rules and

Upon receipt of your letter we
took steps to give effect at our
mines of this suggestion.
If we agreed. as. is further pro-
posed. to re-employ all striking
miners who have not been found
guilty of violation of the law" we
should be subject to serious difficul-
ties. We have not now enough work
available to provide new places for
all the men who left our employ. We
are also a large iron and steel manu-
facturer, and many OF our employees
alternate between the steel works
and the mines. Owing to the de-
pressed state of the steel industry.
we feel that we should offer work
available at our mines to such OF our
iron and steel workers as might be
thrown out of employment irrespec-
two OF whether he was union or
non-union man. The very high wag-
es paid and these conditions OF free
dom are. we believe the reasons
which have attracted to our employ
n large percentage of our men. We
feel now, as we have always felt,
that we must stand by these men in
defense of the right we have prom
ised them to defend, of every work,
man to labor how, where and for
whom he 7leases.
The particular plan of a grievance
commission which Messrs. Davies and
Farley propose, while desirable In
purpose, is not, as we see It, apple
able in essential details to our condi-
tions.l For example, the proposal
that mines could not be closed down
more than six consecutive days ex-
cent by permission of the proposed
commission would make us depend
ent upon the views of the commission
rather than upon our knowledge OF
mercantile conditions.

ART TREASURES NOT ..
BADLY DAMAGED, REPORT

Berlin. via The Hague and Lon
don. Sept. 23.-The commission az
pointed by the German government
of Brussels to care for the art treas
ures of that city, has ust turned in
report OF an inspection Of Louvain.
From this inspection. the commits
sion says, it is apparent that the
damage done to the churches. Hotel
De We and the library of Louvain has
been exaggerated. All the works OF
art are now in the Hotel Deville,
which was not damaged at all. The
church of st. Peter lost part of its
roof. and there are small holes In the
vaulted ceilings of St Michael's
church and St. Jacobs. st. Hubert's
chapel and the Church of st. Ger
ltrude are intact. The facade of the
beautiful library was damaged but it
will be possible to repair it. i-Y..
About one sixth of the city was
destroyed All of Depot street near
the Place De Bue and the houses
about the town hall and st. Peters
were dynamited by order Of the COM
mission to prevent the flames reach
ing the town hall. German officers
saved the pictures from st. Peters
while the roof of this church was
burning. Among these paintings
was the famous Last Supper" THE
Martyrs, and "The Martyrdom Of
ST. Erasmus which are absolutely
Iundamased.
In Liege all the art treasures are
intact, according to the commission.

Mrs. Elmer Reed.

Mrs. Elmer Reed.
After lingering illness OF seven
weeks. Mrs. Laura e. Reed. wife Of
Enos Reed. died at her home near
Croton. July %. 1914.
Mrs. Reed was affected many years
ago with kidney trouble. and on ac-
count OF her advanced age, no cure
could be found, except the hand OF
her Saviour. which she held dear to
the end. Everything was done to re-
lieve her suffering that medical skill
could do, but she slipped quietly away.
She united with the Croton Baptist
church. November 8. 1902. and lived a
faithful MEMBER to the end. The
deceased, whose maiden name was
Laura Barrum. was born in Mischul-
ever, Miss. May IL. 1874, and was
reared to womanhood in Memphis,
Tenn. November 20, 1862. she was
united in marriage to Enos Reed, at
Union City, Tenn. March 8. 1863.
they came to Keokuk and resided
there for some time, and later moved
to the country. but have made Lee
county their permanent home ever
since.
The deceased is survived by an aged
husband. enc adopted daughter, Mrs.
Lula Perkins, and two grandsons,
Pearl and Orlando Perkins, Of Croton.
a niece by marriage. Mrs. Matte
Taper, OF Peoria, H., and host OF
friends.
Mrs. Reed was well known In Keo-
kuk and her death will be greatly felt
among her friends there as well as In
The community in which she lived.
Rev. Alexander conducted the funeral
1t the Crotch Baptist church, Satur-
lay at p. m. Interment was made
N the Croton cemetery. With the ex-
.eption of a few months Mr.. and Mrs.
Reed have taken the Keokuk Gate

that two piers had been constructed

"The information which the suocom-
