Mother Jones to conference Mt the

had previously had a heart-to-heart talk
with Mother Jones in which his eyes
were opened to the jnhuman methods
pursued by the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company in dealing with its thousands
OF employees in which facts were relat-

After his conference with the Ss-year-
old strike leader and agitator for human

FIRST WHITE SETTLER IN IOWA
Great Influence Of Julien Dubuque
Over Indians


The following Interesting incident
concerning Julien Dubuque, the first
white settled in Iowa is related by Mr..
Jacob Van der Zee in the January
number of "The Iowa Journal Of His
tory and Politics. published by the
State Historical Society of Iowa:
Dubuque was not more than 90
years of age at that .imc. having come
to the west from Canada about five
years before. Like most French from
tiersmen of his day he Travelled and
traded among the wild inhabitants Of
forest and prairie. How well he sue
tainty, but be that as it may. he so
won his way into the hearts Of the
simple natives as to obtain their ad-
miration and good will He made him
self familiar with all their supersti-
tlons and by means of ingenious arti-
fees and magic COMPUTATIONS he became
to them veritable IDOL.
"Onces tradition tells US, when the
Foxes were unwilling to accede to his
! demands, Dubuque threatened to Sc,
fire to the creek which flowed by their
wigwams. Shortly after the depart
ure of some of his companions up the
| stream, he carried out his threat, and
the Indians, struck dumb with amaze
ment saw the water in a mass of
flames. To be sure, 1t was only the
burning Of some oil which had been
poured upon the current Of the stream
above the village, but the wishes of
Dubuque were soon satisfied"
