C. B. 80. CANCELS
EMBARGO ORDER.
Burlington office Here Receives New
order Taking Restrictions
From Freight
Shipments.
SITUATION CLEARING UP
No Orders Received by the keokuk
& Des Moines by This Morning
Wabash Freight Shipment
Stopped.
SITUATION CLEARING UP

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad office here has received an
order cancelling the embargo on
freight shipments recently imposed
when the strike was eminent This
seems to be evidence that the strike
situation has cleared up enough fer
the Burlington road to feel confident
of the final outcome.
The embargo order was received
here last Wednesday. It's chief points
were that all shipments except live
stock and perishable freight were to
be accepted without liability for dam
age or delay on account Of the strike.
Live stock and perishable freight
were not accepted for transportation
II same did not arrive at destination
on the Q. line or connecting line on
regular schedule on or before Satur-
day, September 2. No live stock or
per1shable freight was accepted from
connecting lines unless same would
arrive at destination on the @. line
or connecting line on or before Sep
TENDER 2. Explosives were pot &C
copied for movement from local sta
tons or connecting lines.
Freight will now be accepted again
without restrictions and there will be
no Cnange IN the passenger service.
The Wabash officials here today re-
ceived notice that the embargo placed
Thursday had been lifted on local
lines and on connecting lines on
which the embargo did mot hold. It
was stated that the embargo is lifted
on practically everything except per-
ishables and by Monday it is expected
that this will be lifted. The Wabash
officials here are accepting freight as
usual, since receiving orders to cancel
the first embargo order. and will re-
ceive shipments in carload lots and
in less than carload lots. as usual.
No order of any kind had been re-
ceived here by this morning by the
Keokuk & Des Moines railroad, and
passengers and freight were accepted
without limitation.
Due to the nearness of the strike
both incoming and outgoing freight
shipments have been heavy. Double
orders have taken the place of single
orders and the local freight houses
have been kept busy the last few days
Yesterday the Keokuk & Des Moines
shipped out $4,000 pounds Of freight.

FREE CONCERT IS
Being PLANNED
New keokuk Band, Under Direction
Of Professor John q. ,kindis,
Will Give Program
This Month.
SECURE USE OF STREET =
City Gives Permission for Erection
Of Stand and Ropins Off Of
slondeau Strict That
Night.
SECURE USE OF STREET

Plans are being made for a. free
band concert by the new Keokuk Or
ganization under the. leadership of
John B. Kindig, about the middle OF
September. The concert will be CIV
en- on Blondeau street between Sixth
and Seventh. A platform will be
erected here and the street will be
roped off on the. evening of the con-
cert. Permission was given by the
city authorities today.
While the exact date of the con-
cert is to be announced later, the
plan now is to have the program
along the middle of this month. The
event will be free to the public in or
der that the people of Keokuk may
hear what splendid organization
Professor Kindig has gotten together
It is probable that chairs will be
placed near the stand, for which q
small fee may be charged. This fee
will 90 to defray the expenses of the
concert. Those who want to, how
ever, can hear the concert without it
costing them anything, as the side
walks and the street where no chairs
are placed will be open to all.
There are at present thirty-three
members of the organization under
the direction OF Professor Kindig. He
expects to have thirty-five or more in
the band for the first concert. Profess
sor Kindig is building up high class
organization, not a parade band, and
Keokuk will have the opportunity
once more Of supporting high class
musical organization.
Director 10 Enthusiastic.
Professor Kindig is enthusiastic.
He has lots of young blood in the
band and he is SO optimistic over
the prospects that he told one Of the
men who is helping to arrange for
the concert that he was going to have
"the finest band in the United
States"
Those people who remember the
excellence of the old Fiftieth Iowa
Organization under Professor Kin
digs leadership can easily imagine
that he will carry out this forecast.
Professor Kindig has the faculty Of
getting every bit Of music out Of his
musicians. and as q director, he is
without peer. Keokuk is going to
have an excellent organization and If
the proper support is given the band.
it will be a success and splendid ad-
yertisement for the city.

assume, which ! do, that General Frisr-
son, in passing upon this question,
gave it an impartial and unbiased mind
and acted alone from official response

reached the conclusion that this man.
Mr.. James A, Grove, in accepting this

misconduct himself in office, and that
while the transaction may have been
in a sense illegal, yet it would be .
hardship and harsh injustice to apply
the drastic terms OF these statutes To
him and to cause him thereby the ex-
pense of defending himself in a litiga-
ton against the state for an act which
he was induced to commit and which
evidently, from the facts before me,
was innocently committed. That is
from the information l got, Grove was
innocent OF any intention to violate
the law in taking this place. There Is
no intimation anywhere to me of in
competency or dereliction of duty by
him
under the foregoing facts, and

drastic in its nature and should be
used only when absolutely necessary.

me to override the acts of General
Frierson and institute this suit.

The bill alleges that Platkin en-
ployed Ramsey to take charge Of and
conduct the business in the absence OF
complainant. The defendant was to
be paid the sum Of $3.50 a week and
all that he could make in the sale OF
the goods above their marked prices.
The defendant, according to the bill.
was to engage in no other business
and was to deposit all money in the
Farmers and Merchants Bank to the
credit of Platkin. The bill alleges
that the defendant did not conduct
the business properly; that he handled
the stock of goods Of his own; and
that he installed pawn brokers' bust

The bill further states that the de-
PENDANT failed to make the deposits In

Strike Rights Extended.

Washington, Jan In a letter
to secretary Morrison ot the A. +
of L +, Frederick w. Mansfield at
torney, Boston. calls attention TO
one portion of the recent de cision
of the supreme judicial court in the
case of John Cornellier against the
Havcrhill She Manufacturers as
sociation, which was charged with
main aiming blacklist against Cor
nellier, The court said:
Plainly it would not be unlaw
full f0r the men to combine 10 Sc
cure an experience spokesman for
their collective bargaining, and 10
select an outsider in order to avoid
future criticism from the emylcyes.
Further, the fact the person they
select TO speak for them and to
act personally as their agent in pre-.
senting the proposed price list to
their employer, happens to be an
official Of the union would not rem
der unlawful strike called to en-
force their demand "
In commenting on this portion
Of the decision, Attorney Mansfield
says:
so far as l know it the first
case in America, or anywhere in
the world, where a court of com
petent jurisdiction has said that
strike to compel an employer to
deal with union through its busi-
ness agent, or other duly accredited
representatives, is lawful strike.
