Iowa Regiments Anxious to Move.

DES MONIES, July 11-When Col
George Morgan, u: S. A., reported tC
the central division that the Iowa
troops are ready for field duty he
was informed by General Barry that
the Chicago Office expects to receive
orders regarding moving the Iowa reg.
iments to the Mexican border from the
war department in day or two. Def.
mite instructions regarding the date
of departure then will be sent to Des
Moines. H.s
A terrific howl went up from the
Second infantry regiment when red
tan, white, blue and black plow shoes
we're issued to the men for Mexican
campaign work instead of the regula-
ton army shoe. The regulation army
shoe is tan in color. When the Sec.
ond regiment opened the boxes OF
shoes supplied by the war department
they found the shoes in all colors. The
shoes were all double EE, weighing
twenty-four ounces. The soldiers pro-
tested against being compelled to take
the footwear, but the quartermaster's
department overuled them.

Another rousing meeting was helt
by the Commercial club on Friday eve
ming of last week, which was we'll at
tended, although it was one of the hot
test evenings experienced thus far this
season. Several electric fans were
providing for the members of the club
One of the features of the meeting
was several selections given by the
Imperial male quartet, of which Chas
Helsley, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Helsley, of this city. is member. The
quartet was one of the best ever heard
in Denison and each number was
greatly appreciated. The young men
are filling engagements in this locality
this month and in August they will
join the Midland Chautauqua system
which will keep them busy until school
begins in the fall.
The meeting was called to order by
J. B. Lyon, president of the club, who

resentatfves of the G. A. R., S. of w.,
and w. r. c., had conferred with the
board of supervisors in regard to erect.

grounds to commemorate the soldiers
who fought during the civil war. Mr..
Welch stated that the board looked up
onfthe proposition very favorably and
that they had decided to levy mill
as they are permitted to do by re-
cent laAW passed by the state legisla:
ture. After deducting the amount nee
essary to carry on relief work in the
county. there would be left in the
neighborhood of $4,000 with which tc
erect such monument. They advised
the committee that they would make
the levy and requested that plans and
specifications be prepared and be sub,

the near future, Z

Eleven Teamsters Hauling Sand ant
Gravel for Paving Company, Strike
for a $100 Raise.
sHovELERs QUIT IN SYMPATHY
Company Refuses Demands and EN-.
pIoys New HeIp-WiII Work
Full Force by Friday. .,

The first labor trouble in Denisor
since the walkout of the Telephone op
orators several years ago occurred
Monday forenoon when the teamsters
in the employ of the Finn Construc
tion company struck for higher wages
In addition to the teamsters four shHV.
elers quit work in sympathy with the
teamsters and for time it was feared
that the whole paving gang would walk
out. -. ..-. .
Eleven teamsters, many OF them 10.
cal men, refusedito continue to do the
hauling of the sand and gravel from
the Northwestern tracks to tho busi.
ness section of the city for $5.0O,a day.
They organized themselves and made
it known to the foreman in charge
that If their services were wanted they
would have to be paid $500 per day.
Mr. Films foreman refused to con.
cede the demands made and in an in,
terview with Review reporter stated
that there was no reason why the com.
pany should pay SO cents more in Den
ison for man and team than the com
pany paid in Sioux City
There was considerable excitement
on the streets during the forenoon ami
many meetings were held by the strik
ers on the street corners. The team
sters conferred with an attorney to
see If it was possible for them to get
paid for the work they had done on
Saturday, but they were advised tC
wait until the next regular pay day
which will be on Saturday of this
week. Even Mayor Laub was appealed
to by the strikers to use his influence
to secure the payment of the wages
due them from the Finn Construction
company, but Mayor Laub had no jur-
isdictiOn over the matter.
The strike will in no way affect the
completion of the paving in Denison. as
the foreman has already secured the
services of five teams and teamsters
who are. today hauling sand and gravel
and by Friday at the latest expects
to have as many teams as needed on
the job. The strike came at an op-
perfume time for the construction com
pany as they had already paved as
much of Main street as has been grad.
ed and there were but few cars Of
sand and gravel on the track. 1t is
said that the company will not engage

hoped some arrangement be made sc
1.-THE whole of the ground floor may be
utilized for a rest room. Denison has
long been in need of rest room fol
the benefit of out of town visitors
Other towns much smaller than Deni
son have accommodations such as this
which prove to be very popular with
country people and those from out OF
town.
Mr.. Naeve, of the Membership com
mittee, caused another sensation when
he reported the names Of twenty-five
additional members. At the previous
meeting Mr.. Naeve reported the names
of fifty new members and with those
reported Friday evening the club now
has total membership of one hundred
and seventy-five. The rules were sus.
pended and the secretary empowered

Will Cramer, chairman of the House
committee that had been instructed
by the club at the last meeting to look
up new location for the club. report
ed that the committee was not able to
find quarters at this time which would
meet requirements. He did report
however, that the Romans Implement
company were planning to erect a new
two story brick block on the ground
occupied by their implement house
next spring and that arrangements
could be made for quarters In this
building. No action was taken by the
club, however, in regard to this mat
ter.
Mr.. B. Brodersen reported on the
matter of sale pavilion and stated
that he had Investigated sale pavilions
in nearby towns and found that in
nearly every instance they were not a
paying proposition.
One of the most important matters
brought up at the meeting was that OF
a band. Mr.. Barborka reported that
he had been in communication with
several band directors and that it /
would be possible for Denison to Sc.
cure an excellent leader if they would
be willing to guarantee the man al
small salary. He stated that Mr. Rob,
