ed general labor strike in sympathy

Grated union, announced late today,

leaders and a citizens committee,
which both he and Mayor Mitchell
declared had failed in it's effort to
avert the strike. s#
A communication from Mayor Nit
chell, addressed to Hugh Frayne,
chairman of the conference commit
tees OF labor leaders, after final ef-
fort to arrange peaceful settle
ment had failed and following the
declaration that strike was inevi-
table. The mayor made it plain that
for the union officials "to call the
strike will be to assume full respon.
sibility for all that may follow.
The Communication.
''The mayor, representing the civil
forces of the government in this
city," the letter declared, feels it de-
pendent upon him to say to you now
before any further rash steps are TAX
en-, that these duties Ito enforce law
and maintain order) the city govern
ment will discharge to the full, en-
ploying it's resources to that end.
"Such assaults and crimes Of vio'
lence, including injury to innocent
citizens, as those of Tuesday and
Wednesday will be suppressed with a
strong hand and punished within all
the vigor at the command Of the gov
ernment."
" Alleges Breach Of Contract
The communication, which was con.
Cured in by Oscar Strauss, chairman
of the public service commission, re-
viewed at length the causes which led
to the present crisis 1t stated that
the Interborough Rapid Transit COM
pany, which operates the subway and
elevated lines, violated verbal agree
ment with the labor leaders by refus-
ing to arbitrate issues arising conse.
quent to the agreement. 1t stated,
on the other hand, that the employees
Of the New York Railway company
and the other surface lines affected
by the strike were guilty of breach
Of contract they had made with their
employers, which ended a tie-up on
the surface roads in july"
The so.-called final conference was
attended by Mayor Mitchell, citi-
zens' committee and the labor lead
ers. 1t ended in a deadlock The
mayor later declared there was mo
solution in sight," while members of
the citizens committee described the
situation @as hopeless adding that
1T would appear that q both sides
would have to fight it out"

RECEIVE DETAILS
Of VILLA ATTACK
ON MEXICAN CITY
Account of Bandit Raid Against
Chihuahua City Reaches
War Dept.
REPORTS BEING SENT
TO JOINT COMMISSION

Washington, Sept. 21.-The most
detailed account yet received Of the
fighting at Chihuahua City last Sat.
urday when Villa celebrated the "Mex.
lean Independence Day" by success.
full assault on the Carranza garrison
reached the war department today
from Brig. Gen. Bell, commanding
the Ell Paso military district. 1t
stated that Villa personally led the
attacking forces; that he was Joined
by a thousand or more men of the
Carranza garrison, and retired, prom.
ising to return soon, and taking with
him large quantity of captured arms,
ammunition and artillery.
General Bells dispatch does not
show the source of his information
and many officials believe his account
was founded on rumors reaching the
border, as were various stories which
have been transmitted by state de.
partment agents. They were inclined
to believe for that reason that the
full truth Of what transpired is not
yet known. ~, '',, .,@.
All reports received are being for.
warded to New London for the in.
formation of the Mexican-American
commission. 1t is regarded as prob.
able that an official version will be
forwarded there soon by General Car.
rama.
Many army officers still believe Vii.
la is either dead or his power so
thoroughly broken that he could not
hope to re-establish himself. Gen.
eral Pershing expressed the latter
opinion in letter to the war depart
ment some weeks ago and General
Funston's recommendation that the
American troops be withdrawn is be.
lieved to be founded on that.

IMAGINATION RUNS RIOT.

The Canadian press, reflecting the spirit OF
the people of the Dominion, accepts the exploit
of the Deutschland in sportsmanlike fashion
and gives full credit to the Germans for the
achievement. nconspicuously, however, the
suspicion was raised that the submarine might
have been built in sections in different parts OF
this country, theparts assembled in secluded
inlet of Chesapeake bay, the cargo" acquired
here with great difficulty and at enormous ex-
pense, and the ship navigated into Baltimore
harbor And now comes out Of the north a
sequential thought, phrased as question:
''Would it not be quite in accordance with the
German bluff to have the Deutschland change
crews and cargo within the three-mile limit,
paint out her name, put Bremen in its place,
and sail into Newport News as another super
submarine from overseas?" Such things show
the Canadians to be as rich in imagination as
the Germans are adept in practical affairs.

KEoKUK,s TAX PROBLEM.

An institution such as the Keokuk power
plant ought to contribute something to the gov
eminent of Iowa, and something to the expenses
of the city of Keokuk. It is possible, however,
that license fee equitably divided between the
state and city would be preferable to the assess
ment of the company under the general proper
ty tax, says the Des Moines Tribune.
There is temptation on the part of city to
make one big institution pay an undue proper
ton Of municipal taxes, and even to increase
levies because they fall heavily in one spot.
This is unjust to the patrons of power com
pany having long transmission lines, as it taxes
great area for the benefit Of one small 10
cality.
In some states, and if recollection serves cor
rectly, Wisconsin is one Of these, power COM
panies are made liable for only limited per-
centage of the taxes of the city in which they
are located. This is done so that the huge wa
ter power projects of northern Wisconsin can
not be held up, and forced to add the amount
of the taxes to current sold in wholesale
amounts.

MAKING SEASONED SOLDIERS.
General Frederick Funston is caustic i

General Frederick Funston is caustic in his
comments on the complaints made by national
guardsmen. It is easy to understand the eff
feet produced on professional soldier by the
fussing over inconveniences and the minor ills
which has been INDUCED in by militiamen, and
which has been exploited too widely by~their
friends. But General Funston and all general
officers will need patience if success is to be
achieved in making real army out of amateur
material. Then it is to be remembered that
these young business and professional men
might well be expected to bear themselves more
CALAMITY if they were called upon to face real
danger in the field than they do in the routine of
the training camp, in the heat and dust of the
borderland. There is no question of the neces
sity and value of the training they are getting,
but digging trenches and doing camp house
work in Texas is undoubtedly trial; the ennui
of drudgery and inconsistencies makes a more
wearing foe than bona fide enemy.

War Cost Of Newspaperlna.

Marshalltown Tim s-RepubIican:
The enormous increase in the cost
of producing printed matter incident
to the war and shortage of wood pulp
for manufacturing print paper has
brought crisis into the affairs of
many a publisher. Two daily news
papers in Iowa have suspended and
one been compelled OF drop back to
weekly publication.
One publisher writes to the Times
Republican this week for aid in secur-
ing print paper direct from mill
because his consumption Is too small
to permit him to buy direct from the
producer and he explains that the in
cost him $4,000 in year and that is
probably more than his profits from
purely local newspaper.
The Winona, Minnesota, Indepen-
dent mailed to publishers generally
this week a circular stating that
print paper had more than doubled in
cost for them and that they- were going
to charge Is cents per week for their
daily delivered by carrier instead Of
10 cents and would have to increase
the subscription price by mail.
Increased advertising rates were an
nounced for a daily with 400 circu-
lation of 20 cents per inch on con-
tract, 80 cents for open space and
so cents per inch for one time
transient advertisers. These rates
are equal to rates which have for
merly been charged by papers of
twice and three times the circulation
of the Winona paper.
The Keokuk Gate City announces
this week that it can no longer afford
to exchange it's paper with others, but
must charge full price from every
body.
There will be no more bargain

and SO papers will have up to move
up to "a. Even then the increase
will be much less than the rise in
the cost of the print paper used
There is a famine on III all kinds
of print paper due to a shortage in
wood pulp and due to the fact that
foreign users are compelled by the
war to draw on supplies which should
come to the United States and the
sulphur used in paper manufacture
has been absorbed in tn, making of
munitions OF war. Everyt thing that
is printed on paper is being SO great
ly increased in cost that in many in
stances the cost has been doubled

PREPARE BUDGET
FOR FIRST time
State Officers Of iowa Are Asked by
the Governor to Give Data Of Elk
penditures and Future
Needs.
TO HELP LEGISIATU-
Governor Thinks Such an Outline
Would be Of Real Use to
Members In Their
Work.

Governor Clarke. yesterday began
preparing budget for the state de-
partments, to be presented to the
thirty-seyenth general assembly.
This is the first budget to be pre-
pared for the state government. 1t
is authorized by the last general as
sembly and calls for statement by
each department giving the appro-
priation for the biennial period and
estimates of amounts required. for the
ensuing biennial period, with an ex-
PLANTATION OF the reason for any in
creased appropriation. All receipts
and expenditures for the current BIZ
ennial period are to be tabulated.
Advantage to Legislators.
The presentation of the financial
statement to the general assembly
at the beginning instead of on the
last day Of the session, will be
great advantage in arranging the
appropriations, according to the mem
bers of the legislative committee on
retrenchment and reform. 1t is a
move to put the state government on
better business basis, they declare.
The governor, as the first step to-
ward the preparation of the budget,
sent requests to all state departments
AOA SAAO 0otd Will AC6dA " past CA
penditures and needs for the next
biennial period. From this informa-
ton he will prepare a statement for
the legislature. The budget is to be
complete by November Is.
Letter to Departments.
In the letter which. went to all
state departments, the governor said:
In submitting your statement it is
very desirable that you itemize every
need. however small, and the amount
estimated for it, placing everything
upon an absolute business basis, ex-
actly as il you were organizing
business Of POUR own to be paid for
out Of your own money. II the ex-
penditures Of your department can be
reduced without impairing its Ell
ficiency of course you will be glad to
bring about such a result.
1T is my purpose to exhibit In the
budget each department separately
with all the items OF its needs and
the cost so that the legislator may
see at a glance where the expendi-
lures are, what they are for, what
they cost or are estimated to cost.
1.-THE statute fixed the time for your
statement to be filed on or before
the 18th day of November This
time is altogether too short for the
working out and tabulation OF
budget. 1t is hoped, therefore, that
you will be kind enough to comply
with the law as soon as you can"

TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE
the cIouns BLOW an.

They'll all blow by, those clouds that seem
To hide the splendor Of your dream.
They'll fade and fly before the light
That follows as the day the night.
Twill not be dark for long, for long,
While love decks Tilt with light and song.
They'll soon blow by, they'll disappear.
AMI WHARF they float the skies will clear.
The sun shine out, the day be sweet.
And forth we'll go with dancing feet,
To find life's yoke of good and i'll
Is measured fair to all men still.
The gloom will lift that haunts your heart.
We have our dreams; the dreams depart.
Our ups and downs, our griefs and cares,
But he lives best who plucks and shares
From life's blest service hope to make
The worst seem best for dear loves sake.
