AIMEE President Announces Training
Corps on Equal Footing With Army.
'Ames, May 1s.-Studcnt army train
ing corps men will receive victory
medals and all other awards which
were given for other branches Of serv-
ice, according to advices from the war
depa rtment coming to r. A. Pearson OF
Iowa State College. This notice is a
result Of inquiry recently sent in by
President Pearson regarding awards
to s. A. T. c. men.
In the first draft Of the war depart
ment order. there was a statement to
the effect that 8. A. T. Z. students did
not come into the rulings, but before
the orders were issued, the change was
made putting these men in the same
rank with other soldiers.
Many complaints led President
Pearson. in charge Of S. A. T. c. work
to communicate directly with the COM
mittee on education and special train
ing. The reply stated that thru an
error the original draft of the war de-
partment order concerning victory
medals excluded the s. A. T. c. men
but that the oder was changed before
issued. so that S A. T. c. men are re-
ceiving the same recognition as all
other enlisted men.

Sioux City, May 1s.-Construction
work in Sioux City 10 In the worst tie
up in its history and the end is not
yet in sight, though building contrac-
tors assert It must come soon. 1t is
estimated that $500 men are out OF
work today and that half that many
more will be idle tomorrow. As re-
suit there IL little or nothing in the
buladIng line being done. though there
are numerous large contracts under
way and scores Of small jobs that have
only fairly started.
On May 1 building laborers. nod car
riers and cement workers struck. Some
Of the smaller contractors granted the
demands OF the union men and one or
two Of the larger ones did temporarily.
However, as the main demands OF the
men were not met, work on the larger
jobs under way was halted. But the
men have not been IDLE. They took
work independently or with the small
er contractors who had met the de-
mands.
The larger contractors, known as the
Master Builders Association. realised
the strike under these conditions could
continue indefinitely and their work
be tied up for all time. They finally
brought pressure to bear on the deal
ers in builders supplies, 1t is said
the dealers in lumber. cement, iron,
etc. Whether they brought pressure
or not or whether there was an agree
ment or not. Friday morning dealers
refused to sell building materials Of
any kind for use in Sioux City. They
have continued to refuse to sell since.
The large contractors were not affect
ed because they were not busy any
way. The small ones were caught with
short supplies and many were forced
to suspend operations at once. Others
have suspended since and still others
are expected to lay down their tools in
8 day or two.

claim there has been an illegal agree
ment or conspiracy in restraint Of
trade and that they have taken tina

MUCH LABOR UNREST.
s-vseal Strikes In Progress. In Iowa az
Federation Convenes.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. May 1s-The state fed
Grafton OF labor will hold its annual
convention at Sioux City starting Tues
day of this week with labor cendi-
tons more or less upset in various
parts Of the state.
Serious strikes have been on in Des
Moines and Sioux City for weeks. At
Cedar Rapids the moulders are cut
out and at Burlington the recruiting Of
new members on the part Of the unions
is reported to be the cause of some
agitation. altho there have been no
strikes.
In Des Moines more than 5000 mem
bers Of the building trades have been
out since early In April and all i'm
portant building is tied up. 1t is
run1ored daily, however, that an agree
ment is about to be reached thru
which the men will return to work.
Fred Garfield, of Cedar Rapids,
president. Of the state federation lis a
candidate for reelection and is thought
will be elected. l. B. Mention, of
Boone. and j. w. Scott, of Des Moines,
The matter of starting labor paper,
possibly daily, possibly weekly, will be
discussed at the meeting this week.
This question has been in the minds
of a number OF the leaders for some
time.
Labor leaders declare that except
for the enactment of the workmen's
compensation, act, which was really
passed because its friends oHt1naneu-
vered it's opponents, there was little
encouragement given to labor by the
last general assembly. The bankers
and the insurance companies got
everything they wanted apparently
but not SO with laws touching on the
interests of the people in gen.
eral. The nine hour law for
women. which prevails in many states,
failed of passage.
Legislation to be proposed to- the
coming general assembly will be con-
sidered at the Sioux City meeting this
week.

CITY NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGES.

ant Building inspector.

Special to Times-Republican.
Sioux City. May 19.-The district
court OF Woodbury. county has ruled
that the city Of Sioux City is in no
way liable for damages as result Of
the collapse of the Ruff drug store
building on June 20, 1918. This rul-
ing was made in the case Of Mrs. Cora
NJ Wood, wife OF B. j. Wood. who
with thirty-eight other persons, was
killed in the wreck Mrs. Woods
contention was that the city was liable
because it permitted tine renoieiins
OF the building when it was known to
be in dangerous condition, because
the permit had been issued by an as
sistant building inspector, who since
has been shown not to be a competent
engineer: The holding Of the court Is
that. the city is not liable for the act Of
the assistant inspector.
