San Francisco conventions with demands
that they be recognized in the forma
ton of party platforms. and to throw
the weight of their support at the Nov

ROADS STILL
DIVERT COAL
Iowa Farmers Complain That They
Have Trouble Getting Coal for
Threshing on Account Of
This Action

Railroads in Iowa are still divert
ing coal consigned to threshers, and
using the coal SO directed for their
own purposes. Charles Webster,
state railroad commissioner, says
that at Osceola, on the c., B. & O.,
It Is reported that seventy-eight cars
being held UP by the railroads. He
is also investigating a report that
100 cars of coal are being held by
various railroads at Mason City in a
section where threshers are in need
of fuel.
Some days ago, while Iowa coal
miners from various sections were
out on unauthorized strike, the rail-
roads held up coal consigned 10
farmers and used it for fuel. The
governor and the state railroad com
upon complaint of the fed
eral farm bureau federation, investi-
gated several complaints, and the
railroads were ordered to cease this
practice.
I'VE are taking this matter up with
the railroad authorities in Chicago.
and have demanded that the coal be
forwarded on to the consignees, most
Of whom are farmers engaged in
said Webster. The
farmers need this fuel and the rail-
roads should not delay forwarding
such consignments, neither should
hey practically confiscate these ship
nents. The coal miners are back to
work, and there is no reason for a
lelay in getting coal to the
hreshers'
