the construction of the new foundry
building this morning. 1t will have
floor space SOx92 feet, and In the from
part of the foundry will be located
the offices and on the second floor
over the office will be the pattern
storage room.
The Pechstein Iron works now EN-
ploys thirty-seven people and has a
payroll of approximately $4,000 per
year. 1t spends locally in addition to
/ this, among the various business
! houses of Keokuk approXimately S10,-
| 900 a year.
/ The new plant will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and new
equipment will cost from $1,000 to
$4,000 additional. 1t iii provide en-
ployment for seventy-t1ve to one hun
dred additional men, and will have
more than double the capacity Of the
present plant. For some time the
! rechs tein Iron works have been
crowded with work and are unable to
get their product out as rapidly as
desired by their customers. Quite a
namber of the business houses of
keokuk are patrons of this foundry
and desire their work handled prompt
ly and this is the occasion Of a neces-
sity for larger and more adequate
buildings.
Contracts For Months.
The plant now has contracts on
hand sufficient to keep it operating
continuously for several months and
it has had offered to it a great deal
of work from nearby cities, but owing
to the lack Of plant facilities, is I'M
able to take up this outside work.
Only recently large manufacturing
plant in a nearby city wrote, asking
that certain work be done for it.
Price was no consideration The
sole object was to get the work out
as expeditiously as possible. The
managers, however, felt that the
plant owed it's first duty to its pa
irons and customers in Keokuk and
it should not take on additional work
until the new equipment is secured.
Paul T. Pechstein is president and
general manager of the company,
and he is ably assisted by T. T. Mey-
ling, the secretary and treasurer, who
is also the plant superintendent. A
good foundry and machine shop is
basic industry for every community
because each factory in the commun-
ity must depend upon it to replace
broken machine parts and the plant
also manufactures quite a number OF
parts for machines for use by local in
dustries. The work on the new build
ing will be rushed and it is hoped
that the foundry part will be COM
pleted within sixty days. Following
this, new machine shop and boiler
shop will be erected later in the sum
mer.

SHlPbUILDERS AT FRISCO VOTE 10
 RESUME WORK
Wage Increase Agreement Due to Patriotism of
 Both Sides.

San Francisco, Sept. 26.-The strike of 25,O00 iron workers and other me- chanics in the San Francisco bay re- zion was settled at a meeting of the Iron Trades council here today ac- cOrding to an official statement is sued by the council. The strike had tied up the work for ten days on one eighth of the governments shipbuild- ing contracts.
 Seventeen trades were represented at the meeting. Thirteen of these voted to return to work and four op- posed such move. Later it was said the vote to resume work was made unanimous The council is made up of 9 unions.
 The text of the agreement entered into by representatives of the unions and the employers provide that wages up to and including $4.25 a day shall be increased 20 per cent, wages from $425 up to and including $5 shall in- crease 121a per cent, and wages from $5.01 and up shall not be increased in excess of $6. The agreement says that "the object in agreeing to this advance in wages is purely patriotic on both sides"

MINE OPERATORS SEEK
 INCREASE IN PRICES
Meet Miners Demands for Higher Wages That Government Fixed
 Price Too Low.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Demands of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania coal miners for wage in creases of about 9 per cent were tn the hands of the joint scale sub-coln- mittee of miners and operators tO- night, with the indication that as re- suit of the operators flat refusal to grant more pay Dr. H. A. Garfield, the fuel administrator, would be call ed into the negotiations.
 The operators contended that the wage demands presented at the joint conference today were exorbitant in view of the government fixed prices for bituminous coal, and that evec without giving the miners more pay many mines would be forced to sus- pend. They agreed, however, to dis cussion of the demands by sub-com- mittee tomorrow.
 Results of the deliberations will be communicated to Dr. Garfield by John .T. White, president of the United Mine Workers and chairman of the commit tee, who is also an adviser of the fuel administrator.
 Most of the miners agreed with the operators that wage increase is impossible at the prices fixed by the government,

KAISER BOASTS
 ROUMANIAN KING

Amsterdam, Sept. 26.-The German emperor in addressing the veterans of the 1916 campaign in Rumania on Saturday, according to report re- ceived here from Berlin, spoke of the Hohenzollern who had succeeded a great and noble prince and notwith- standing all traditions did not know how to keep the faith. Emperor Will Han also described King Ferdinand of Rumania, Ga member of the house of Hohenzollern) as "the regenade who at the time when Germany was engag- ed in a terrible war joined the enemies of the empire"
 The emperor spoke of the eternal miracle of German strength" which had been brilliantly proved in fact. adding:
 "Indeed the averaging hand of the judge above us has sealed the fate of this ruthless former friend. What the Lord of Hosts may still have in store we do not know but come what may we are able confidently to look the world in the face. We did not will this war and if it is prolonged it is not our fault"

agitation of labor difficulties. They had attempted to keep negroes from working, urging them to demand $5- a-day minimum wage. They had even gone, so far as to take negroes from wagons which were enroute from Stuttgart to nearby rice farms.
 Authorities Had Tip.
 The authorities Tuesday, apparently learning that the farmers were plan ming reprisals, arrested the four lead CTS and put them in jail. The plan was not successful, however, as the taller was forced to deliver the pris- oners when the mob appeared.
 Efforts were made to learn the Men- tity of the three men with Laur, but they were strangers. Residents of Stuttgart and vicinity believe, how ever, the four men were members and agents of the Industrial Workers of tthe World. Laur has a wife here, and formerly operated a small restaurant. Residents of the city say it will not be healthy for him to return here to live. Leaders of Tuesday nights mob made it plain that the tar and feather party was not demonstration against labor, but that it meant that labor agitators would not be tolerated. Rice farmers say they are paying and will continue to pay good wages to men who desire to work and who do not desire to cause trouble among the rice harvesters.

 It is estimated that S1 100000 will do the work of erecting the build ings, equipping the libraries and keeping them in shape for at least three years. The expense of the campaign has been met privately and every cent of the $1, ,6o0, ,OOO will be used for the actual establishment of the libraries.
 The response to the Library War Council appeal shows that those who are staying at home are not only re- spending but insisting on helping the Library War fund. Contribu- tions are being received by the Library War Council in, amounts from $1 up into the thousards,

The need for something to fill the soldiers time after their days rou- tine has been met by national move ment and soldiers camp in the United States and perhaps even for the American troops in France.
 The idea originated with the Com mission on Training Camp Activi- ties, appointed by President Wilson. His Commission has found that even with the rigorous pace which the men in training are put through, they have some time which hangs heavily on their hands. To meet this condition, Raymond E. Fosdick, chairman of the commission on train ing camp activities, suggested that central libraries be established for the soldiers camps and cantonments.
 The Secretary of War, whose ad- vice was asked, responded by ap- pointing ten nationally known men and women to constitute Library War Council to assist in providing

Evident That Large Defi- ciency Will be Shown
 when All Mobilized.
SECOND CALL MAY
 BECOME NECESSARY
Transfer of Thousands of iMen to National Guard and Other Forces Will Leave Only 25O.OOO for 16
 National Army Divisions.

Washington, Sept. 26.-There is lit tie doubt now that a large deficiency of men will be shown when the first increment of the National army-6S7,- 900 men-has been mobiliZed. Seven teen National guard divisions must be brought up to war strength, and several special service forces or ganized out of this reservoir, so the number of drafted men remaining at the cantonments hardly will be suf- ficient to organize the 16 National army divisions at full war strength basis Whether incomplete divisions will be formed or call for more men issued has not been indicated.
 Secretary Baker said today that definite figures as to the number of National army men it will be neces- sary to transfer to the National guard were not available.
 The guard probably brought into the federal service total of not more than 100000 men, possibly less. It will take therefore at least 137, ,000 National army men to fill up the guard division. Another 100000 of the National army will go to the air service and certainly as many to other special services. That would leave not more than 25O,000 to form 16 National army divisions which should have an aggregate of 433,0O0 men.
