Des Moines, July e1.-Labor unrest
has spread TO Iowa. Employees of the
Standard Four Tire Company of Keo-
kuS are out and Des Moines street car
men, demanding increase in pay,
threaten to walk out.
Increases in pay from az, 45 and II
cents an hour to So, 60 and IS cents an
hour, with no reduction in service is
asked by the street car employees. The
men have demanded an immediate an
swer to their demands or will quit the
cars.
The men have delivered their ulti-
matum and refuse to await the result
OF further Investigations, their spokes-
men declare.
Only one Of the two alternatives for
the company suits the men. The two
courses are:
1. To increase the mems pay and
make up the difference il the COM
panys receipts are insufficient, as
shown in the Bemis report, by increas-
ed revenue.
?. Increase the pay. but meet the in
crease by reduction in service.
The first is the only one which will
meet the mems demands. This is i'm
possible, however, according to city at
torneys, because none, they declare,
has the power to increase the fares as
allowed in the franchise.
The only other course which the
company finds open, according to its
attorneys, is to meet the mems de-
mands and then. under Federal Judge
Wade's ruling. ask permission to re-
duce the service sufficient to make up
the difference.
Such q reduction would mean cut
ting off one-third of the service. This
would throw about 100 men out OF en-
ployment. This the men refuse to al
low. The loss Of employment for one
third their number will be an equally
good cause for strike, they declare as
the refusal to raise the money.
Inclined To Blame Byers.
There appeared an inclination on the
part OF the men to blame the corpora
ton counsel Of Des Noines for the de-
lay in the increase, due to his declara-
ton that a raise in fares Is impossible.
The men point out that the present
scale is far below the average. even
for unskined labor. Carpenters help
ers, they show, are paid 50 cents an
hour. while masons' helpers get 81
cents. Other crafts are drawing from
SO cents to more than a dollar an hour.
Two years ago it was possible to
buy a uniform tor a half a week s
wages" Mr., Wiley showed today.
Today the cheapest uniform takes
virtually an entire weeks pay and the
quality Is far inferior.
In every other necessity the same
raise Is met, until it is impossible for
the men to live on the present scale"

SUPPORT MAYOR KEHoE.
Cascade Citizens Back of Official
Ousted BY Court.


Cascade, July 2l.-Altho Judge KNIT
Finger has ousted Mayor kehoe from
office, the mayor has the majority OF
the people OF Cascade back of him.
The custer proceedings grew out OK
personal spite on part OF a few indi-
viduaIs who used the Stacker parade
evidence In order to get" the mayor.
The war feeling was SO intense at
the time that no true blue American
would have done otherwise than was
done.
A point Of inquiry is raised as to
why the mayor is subjected TO this hu-
initiation at this particular time, when
the matter could have been investigat-
ed shortly after it happened in May
1918. There also might be a question
as to the loyalty Of those who inves-
tigated the charges.
Mayor Kehoe controls two-thirds OF
the local vote and could easily be re-
elected should he desire the office
again,
The case will no doubt be appealed
to the supreme court.

Fatal Love Tragedies
