APPEAL TO COAL MINERS.
Union Men Urged to Work Mines Day
After Christmas.

Dies Moines, Dec. 22.-In an effort to
relieve the coal shortage situation in
Des Moines, Ralph P. Bolton, secretary
Of the Great Des Moines committee,
yesterday afternoon got into communi-
cation with the president of the miners
union, the federation OF labor. and
State Labor Commissioner A. l.. Urick
and asked them to use their influence
to get all miners 70 work on the day
following Christmas. Usually few, IL
any, miners work on the day following
a holiday.
Mr.. Bolton also called upon the pur-
chasing agents of every railroad in
Iowa and urgently appealed to them
not 10 take any coal that may be
mined on that day.
Owing to the fact hat in ordinary
circumstances no coal would be pro-
duced during the period in question,
Mr.. Bolton figures that the railroads
would be ios.ng nothing II they would
agree to let the city have all the coal
produced on that n day. He esti-
mates that the mines surrounding Des
Moines would produce about 100000
tons. which would go far toward re-
lieving the situation.
Many other methods OF relieving the
shortage are being advocated by coal
dealers and other people interested

RIGHT 70 JUNK PROPERTY FOR

Shipping to Foreign Field-sonker
Also Plans to Junk Short Line.

Cedar Rapids, Dec. Whether the
Chicago, Anamosa & Northern raiiroau
is to be junked and the rails shipped 10
Europe and relaid is a disputed ques-
ton in this city today. The Associat-
ed Press sem out a dispatch from Ne"
York TO the effect that Herman Sonkes
Kansas City junk dealer who recently
acquired the road at forced sale, a
said the price of old materials haa
cached such a figure in Europe ina
he would be able to dispose OF the )uHh
OF the =. 4. & y. AT a handsome pront
and that it was his intention to snip
the rails and rolling stock az soon as
the rails could be taken up.
There May Be Hitch.
Attorneys in this city do not asfee
on the right OF Sonker TO junk the ROAD
at present. Under the Iowa laws d
railroad is real estate provided the
company owning it owns in zee Simple
the real estate on the right-oi-" way
and IL this Is the case the owners
would have a year in which to redeem
the property. On the other hand, IL
the real estate is held under a grant to
belong to the company as long as Inc
road is operated and to revert 10 the
original owners when the road IL apah-
doned, then the railroad becomes per-
sona! property and the federal court
has the right TO permit its ale n re-
moyal. Those who nave read the no.
tees OF sale prepared by the federal
court are not quite clear as to their
meaning, also they are not certain
whether the road is realty or personal
.nroperty and a court ruling may be
necessary to settle the disputed point
There also was some talk about 9TH
or railroads which own cars set out on
the c. A. & y. road. bringing suit 10
,acoyer them. This action. however,
said by a railroad attorney to be
unnecessary as The roads owning the
cars could send a locomotive onto the
Dad and haul the cars to another line,
or even use a team of horses TO move
them.
Redemption Not Unlikely.
1T was said hat the Cass interests
has not entirely abandoned its efforts
to obtain the property. It is known
that conferences have been held with
some of the bond holders at Chicago
this week. the object OF which was to
devke some a Of redeeminG' the
property. Just what plans. IL any. were
agreed on could not be ascertained IN
this city today. s
The C.. A. & n. road is thirty six
miles in length and its rolling stock
consists OF six freight cars. two COM

motives and six steel bridges MI.

Mexican border and they have been
there ever since, REINFORCED from time
to time, and now to be supported by
the entire National Guard. II a mill

They were buying most literally and
were extremely well-dressed and we'll.

pearance and prosperity and happi-
ness, and l was curious to know why
1t was that these people seemed so
much better of than those l had seen
In other localities. / asked the pro-
prietor, who was freely giving credit
to his customers, If he did not lose on
many accounts. He replied: Never
one How do you account for their
prosperity? I asked. Strictly en-
forced prohibition was his answer.
If We were to permit the saloon to

Republican lnefficiency.

The reason of Republican i~nef1cien-
cy is clear. Republican government
was not truly representative. The
congress elected in 1908 did not try to
serve the popular interest; 1t served
special interests. 1t took orders from
Wall street, from the wool growers,
the wool manufacturers, the steel
b%arons, the coal-land sharks-always
from the few and in the interest Of
the few. In legislating for its real
masters, the special interests, 1t was
always held back by fear of the popu-
lar wrath which finally overwhelmed
the Taft administration In 1912. As
q result. it was satisfactory neither to
it's friends mol to its enemies.
