WOMEN PHYSICIANS OF IOWA
DECLARE BARN PEST is
GREAT MENACE.
BITE is CAUSE OF
fNFANTlLE PARALYSIS
Convention at Davenport DEGREES That
Barn Fly Must Die-Frequentiy In
vades Homes and Attacks Babes
Society to Make Greater Effort to
Enlarge Membership.

Davenport, May 1.-THE Iowa barn
fly has not been combining his bites to
the inmates Of the barn and the State
Society Of Iowa Medical Women in
their convention at the Blackhawk
Hotel here declared war on the insect.
Instead Of biting horses the barn fly
has been caught invading homes and
biting babies. Many have died from
infantile paralysis as the result. Hence
the war on the barn fly, which the
women of the society hope to success
fully wage in Iowa. -, 20, 49,,
A large percentage of deaths by in
fantile paralysis has been traced di-
rectly to the barn fly and thru recent
experiments this has been proved. The
barn fly has been permitted to bite
monkeys in experiments and the mon
keys have died of the disease.
This being the fly swatting season
of the year we are going to urge every
one to swat the fly and especially the
barn fly" said an officer of the socie-
ty. The discussion on the subject of
infantile paralysis or poliomyelitis was
led by DR.. NJ. A. Coveny, Of Clinton.
~ The paper, on "Autogenous Vac
cines'' by DR.. Jessie B. Hudson. Of
Clinton, opened an interesting discus
sion at the morning meeting Tuesday.
Experiments have been recently com
pleted thru which it has been proved
that infections may be cured by vac
cination with the various types OF
germs that will fight those in the at
fected portion of the anatomy.
In the business session the women
decided to make a greater effort to Sc
cure more members. The women are
not competing with the men, it was
pointed out, but instead are cooper
ating, many Of them having Joined the
Iowa State Medical Society.
The convention closed with election
of officers. DR.. Lilly Kinnier, Of Du-
buque, presided at the sessions. She
has been made president during the
past year, thru the. resignation of DR..

attended by both the board of control
and the members of the Iowa Broom
Makers Association. The latter or
ganization has a membership OF lb3.
The broom makers association is
charging that the competition OF
prison made brooms Is unfair
competition inasdnuch as the state
board can use prison labor In the MAX
ing of the brooms and thus produce
them cheaper than anyone else. The
state board however states that while
1t is offering brooms for sale to the
retail trade it is not cutting the price
below what regular well made brooms
sell for. In fact the board says it asks
a higher price than do many Of the
broom makers of the state.
The labor unions have taken the
matter up and are urging that 1t Is
unfair to- laborers engaged in making
brooms to have to compete with prison
labor.
State Making Auto Trucks.
Auto delivery trucks are now being
made in the penitentiary at Fort Madl-
son. One Of the trucks was driven up
to Des Moines this week from Fort
Madison and installed at the Flynn
farm just west Of town where it Is
being used principally in hauling milk
back and forth to the city.
The big truck, is called the Iowa and
sells for $500. The engine is not
made at the prison but most of the
rest of the truck is made there. War
den Sanders is quite proud of his ma

of the presidents feel it would be a question of only a short time until laboring men in some of the great in- dustrial concerns of the country would be making demands for an eight-hour day also. Echoes of this feeling are expected to reach the White House as this view is spread throughout the country.
 SEPARATE VOTES
 The presidents realize that if it comes to matter of a break with the White House some of the executives may be inclined to subordinate their convictions to President Wilson's wishes and it has been planned to have votes taken on each proposal made by him with the understanding that a ma jority vote shall bind all.
 Railroad men present at today's con ference and White House officials de- clared tonight that the President had not talked of government ownership of railroads as possibility in. the fu- ture in case there is a strike. '
 A person in position to be familiar with the attitude of the executives outlined the position of the railroads tonight as follows:
 "The position of the railroads at this time is that they are standing out for the great principle of arbitration and that they cannot surrender this principle under the threat of strike or under pressure from any other quarter"

assist him in settling the controversy. Tonight the railroad officials held an other long conference at their hotel.
 Employees representatives held two meetings during the day, one of several hours for speechmaking and balloting on the Presidents plan, and the other a short enc for announcement of the result of the vote.
 There never was time during the day that the Presidents proposal could not have been rushed through the employees meeting by big ma- jority.
 Opposition to the plan, which was scattered, always was good natured, and most of those who objected dis cussed effects on their immediate localities rather than probably general results.
 MAY BE DELAY
 Some of the presidents expressed the conviction tonight that the negotia- ticns with the White House would not be concluded for several days and that each point involved would be thor oughly considered by the executive heads of the roads before any definite position is taken.
 As one railroad head pointed out to- night. the questions in issue involve the operation of 1000 miles of rail- road, one-fourth that of the entire world, and their solution may have a far-reaching effect on laboring condi- tions throughout the United States. With 400,00 railroad men assured of an eight-hour basic working day, some
