according to detailed report re-
ceived by the local police from N. A.

The trick on the face was an easy
one, being based on the purchase Of
second hand automobiles, by man
purporting to bet a representative
from an auto exchange company in

rnent had been reached between the
a,gent and the man who was glad to
meet someone who would take the old
flivyer off his hands without ques-
lions as to it's age and present con-
tlition of servitude, the smooth buyer
asked as a mere matter OF form that
the owner OF the car sign a document
which he represented as a contract
Of sale. This was done with out pro-
test.
But silence reigned only a. short
ZINE. 4 few hours or days after each
transaction the man learned that the
nip of paper he had signed so quick
" was an order to pay to the bearer
IL certain sum OF money, In most
eases $50, These, the man from Des

CONTINUE WORK.
THESE STRIKES NOT
SANCTIONED BY UNION
Dissatisfaction Because Of Adjust
ments Made by Federal Coal Com
mission Situation, in Adjacent
States More Serious - Chicago
Railroads Short of Fuel.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 31.-The mining
situation in Iowa is causing consid-
cradle concern among operators,
officials Of the miners union and the
business interests as reports con.
tinue to come in of move or less dis
satisfaction among the miners Of the
state.
Two of the large mines at Buxton
We're idle Friday, and one at Loyilla
because the men quit work. The
dissatisfaction is more particularly
among the day men. 1t was reporte d
from Abba that walkouts were
threatened in other mines.
President ]. c. Lewis, of the
thirteenth district, United Mire
Workers of America, which is the
district including Iowa and Mis-
souri,. addressed letter to the
operators few days ago In which he
pointed out that Iowa miners were
leaving the mines because Of dis
satisfaction with working conditions
These miners feel that the adjust
ments made by the United States
coal commission are unjust. He
states that the number Of miners in
the state had fallen from 1900 to
about $4,000. The disparity between
the increase given day labor and
monthly men and the increase to
contract men is said by Mr.. Lewis
to be one OF the chief causes OF dis-
satisfaction.
Strikes Not Sanctioned.
The mine operators have named q
committee Of thirteen to consider the
matters set forth by Mr.. Lewis IN
his letter. The members Of the
committee are ID. #. Cushing, presl-
dent of the Iowa Coal Operators
Association. Robert Hunting and
David Dining, OF the first district;
c.. A. Williams. F. s. Pfahler, e. W.
Gray, and J. a. Ramsey. Of the
second and third districts; c. T.
Carney and George Heaps. ST.. OF
the fourth district. and J. b. Ryan,
Z. P. Love. George Heaps. Jr.. and
Josh Norwood, of the fifth district.
: ~ Il . =.
The miners union officials are not
sanctioning the action OF the miners
who have quit work, but ION the
other hand are making an effort to
bring about conditions which will
be satisfactory TO those who are dis
satisfied,
Charles Webster. state railroad
commissioners and on two different
occasions state fuel commissioner,
who has been in Chicago the past
few days looking into the coal ship
ping conditions, reports that the
situation is bad there, that the rail-
reads entering the city have only
three days supply Of coal and may
confiscate coal II they can not SEA
cure It otherwise. Reports here yes
terday were that the railroads were
threatening to confiscate coal In
case their supply ran, out.
