Samuel Gompers is too old bird in the political game
to be caught with chaff President Townley Of the Farm
ers League yesterday called organized
labor to join with the farmers to hep win the war" He
made strong appeal to have the farmers and labor join
hands to fight everybody else. Labor leaders fear be-
coming part of an organization which can and perhaps
may overshadow theirs The failure Of the party in North
Dakota is not encouraging and Gompers be depended
on not to get tied up with anyone who then tie up

is CONSIDERING EITHER RE.
BUILDING CITY PLANT OR
BUYING PLANT.
MUST REBUILD PLANT
OR GET LIGHT ELSEWHERE
Iowa Railway and Light Company Con.
siderins Making the City Proposal to
Take Over Municipal Plant and Sup
ply Street Lights From its Local
Power House.

The city either will rebuild and re-
habilitate its electric light plant or VIII
buy light for the streets from some
private company. The city's plant anc
equipment is in such state that it must
be mostly rebuilt and renewed to con-
tinue the service already supplied, and
it is said that it would require very eX-
tensive renewals to supply service IN
many parts of the city where street
lighting has been demanded for years
None, or very little of this additional
service, has been supplied because the
electric light plant is carrying all the
load il is capable Of.
The city council has opened negotia-
tons with the Iowa Railway and Light
Company, and with one or more other
companies, for proposals TO furnish
light for street lighting purposes.
Whether il will be necessary for the
city to make a general proposal for
on which TO receive bids, or
whether it will make private contract
the council has not determined. Some
members of the council think il might
be necessary, in order to make the pro-
ceedings legal, to ask for bids on the
lighting.
The council will probably spend a
day at Cedar Rapids TO investigate the
street lighting service being given that
city by the Iowa Railway and Light
Company. The company is preparing to
make a proposition 10 take over the
ciiy's lighting plant. and supply street
lights. ranging probably from so to $50
candle power. on a basis of a fixed rate
per lamp per year.
