actual construction of the Muscatine
and Iowa City Interurban railway ar
ticles OF incorporation OF the company
are now being prepared and will be
finally passed upon by the parties in
rerested in the construction of the line
at a meeting to be held early next
week That the articles will be filed
within ten days is viewed as likely
At the meeting held at the Hotel
Auscatine yesterday which was at
tended by prominent Muscatine and
Iowa City capitalists details OF con-
struction and the plan OF organization
of the company were considered at
length. At the conclusion Of the ses-
sion committee com posed OF George
s. Carson, S. NJ. Mercer and Fred
Menmerle OF Iowa City, and c. r.
Musser, w. r. Jayne, George NJ. Titus
and A D. Bowen Of this city, was
named to perfect the details Of organ
ization which will likely be perfected
at the next meeting OF the interested
parties
While those who are interested in
the development Of the rail project
are reluctant to give out definite data
as yet relative to the proposition until
the actual construction of the line Is
assured. 1t is understood that the pros
pectus which was submitted for the
approval Of the investors yesterday
was one which well recommended the
enterprise and that the line will be in
course OF construction before the sum
mer is brought to a close Is a belief
which is held by many.
The feasibility of the project has
been established beyond question and
the low cost Of construction together
with the large acreage which will be
tapped by the line is such as to en-
courage investment, it is said.
The route as proposed is one which
will permit of low cost Of construc-
ton in that the tracks OF the Musca-
tine Western is to be used to point
beyond Adams station from which the
line will run directly north to West
Liberty and thence in a northwester-
ly direction to Iowa City. The cost Of
construction Of the line 1t Is understood
is not expected to be in excess OF a
half million dollars. The surveyed
route will take a territory comprising
A, 500 acres tributary to the interurban
of which 25,5as acres are under cult
walton. The estimated yield per acre
in revenue to the road is estimated at

Des Moines June 2.-Three impor-
tant cases are pending in court relat-
ing to the workmen's compensation
Jaw of Iowa and decisions may be ex-
pected before the spring days have
turned to summer. The supreme court
meets June 81 and a decision is ex-
pected that week in the case from
Jasper county involving the validity OF
the entire law as to workmen's COM
pensation. This is the case that was
argued TO the court by Senator Clark
son. In the Polk county court IS an
other case involving the position Of
the railroads as to whether or not
they may evade the law by accepting
its provisions and failing to provide
the insurance or compensation fund.
The other is a case before the indus
trial commissioner involving the inter-
state claims of the railroads by which
they keep from under the law.
II the supreme court decides the
main issue favorable TO the law and
.uphoids in full the contention OF the
author of the law, the other two cases
will be practically settled, for there
will then be nothing FOR anyone TO do
but get in under the law and take on.
COMPENSATION insurance. This would
apply to railroads as we'll as other
employees.
II is supposed the Polk county court
is waiting to have the supreme court
announce its decision before reaching
a conclusion on the question Of the
status of industries or employees not
accepting the law and not providing
for compensation, and as to whether
or not negligence must be proved IN
case Of accidents under such circum-
stances. The supreme court may
settle the whole matter.
Senator Clarkson last winter, dur
ing the session of the legislature, was
very confident he would be upheld
and the law be sustained. II the su-
preme court had planned to declare the
law invalid in whole or IN part It would
have been good policy to have done
go before the legislative session had
proceeded far in order that there
might have been some new legisla-
ton.

sioners OF King county have decided
that minimum wage will be includ-

comprised almost every European ma
tionality. They were unorganized and
asked for $3.50 day, an eight-hour
day and the right to spend their
money where they please without pat
ronizing contractors boarding houses.
Few of these workers understand the
English language. They were sup
ported by the trade union movement.
After Investigating the case, State La
