Percent OF Votes Cast as

De Mones. June .. A heavy early
vote was reported throughout Iowa
today in the primary election TO
choose full states of state and con
grossional candidates.
The warm contest for republican
nomination for the United Slater
senate resulted in an unusually larg
number going to the polls. A vote
Of $50, 900 was forecastcd.
Chief interest was IN the contest
for the republican senatorial nomin-
alton for the scat vacated by w. s.

Thorough Canvass Made.
The six republican senatorial can
didatos made thorough political
canvass of the state In an effort to
secure. if possible, 30 per cent of
the vote-requisito for nomination.
Colonel Smith Brookhart of Wash
ngton. Iowa, and Charles Pickett,
of Waterloo, former congressman
are the only two candidates rated
sufficiently strong in polling strength
to hope for enough votes TO keep
the nomination out of convention,
where il will go on failure of any
any one candidate to secure 30 per
cent of the total vote.
Weather Favors Brookhart.
The ideal voting weather favored
Brookhart, his hackers claim. Brook
heart is bitterly opposed by the or
ganization candidates entered and
backed the old guard leaders. He
is relying chiefly on the farmer vote.
Next to the farmers, the women
we're expected to be a big factor in
the voting.
l.. e. Francis, with a platform call
ing for a woman on the presidents
cabinet is counting strongly upon
tho support Of the feminine voters.
Congressman Burton e. Sweet,
recognized as middle of the road
candidate between Pickett, favorite
of conservatives, and Brookhart, is
pulling support away from both the
latter candidates, more especially
from Pickett.
Clifford Thorne was expected to
lip into Brookhart's farmer support.
Claude Stanley, world war veteran,
was reported piling up heavy vote
of former service men.

REVERSE DECISION OF

Washington. June g. Striking coal
miners won tremendous victory TO.
day when the supreme court held
that the United Mine Workers need
not pay damages amounting to moro
than 100000 TO Arkansas coal mine
owners as the result OF strike riots
In Arkansas fields In 1914.
The court reversed decisions OF
Arkansas courts holding that the OF.
ficcrs OF the mine workers by in
citing violence during the strike had
caused destruction OF property and
thus were guilty OF restraining in
torstate commerce. In violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law. Sew
eral mines were burned during the
riots. which threw that section OF
the state into yeritable war zone.
Lower courts assessed damages Of
approximately 100000 against the
United Mine Workers. Because the
strike aud the consequent riots were
held to be a conspiracy In restraint
Of Interstate commerce in violation
of antitrust laws, the damages were
trebled.
Had the miners lost and been
forced to pay court costs, the de-
cison would have caused a drain
of more than 100000 from the min
ers' treasury. now carrying the bur
den of nationwide strike. The
court costs which probably now
must be paid by the operators.
amounted to more than 100000
The suits were brought by the
Coronado Coal company and other
coal concerns.
Chief Justice Taft read the opinion
of the court which was one OF the
most lengthy DEGREES ever presented.
As the result of the favorable de-
cree more than 100000 which has
been tied up in bond will now be re-
leased for whatever purposes the
United Mine Workers see fit.
The courts decision was unanl-
nous.
Chief Justice Taft said that 1t was
with great regret that the court
finds itself unable to affirm the de-
cision of lower courts holding the
United Mine Workers liable.
However, Taft said, there was no
evidence to show that the union
outrages" were a part Of conspiracy
against interstate commerce.
The strike trouble, Taft declared,
was plainly local.
The case hinged on four points.
Taft said.
These were
1.-Whether the issues were prop
erly joined. The court said they
were.
Can an unincorporated labor
union, such as the United Mine
Workers, be sued in its own name?
The court held that 1t could. The
decision in this case, however, was
clear cut victory for the miners
and the United Mine Workers can
not be made subject to this suit
again in federal courts.
3-Were the international officers
of the United Mine Workers parties
to the alleged criminal acts of the
miners in destroying property in Ar
kansas? The court held they were
not
4-Whether the riots and other
troubles were in pursuance of a con-
spiracy to restrain interstate COM
merce?
1t was on this fourth question that
the case turned and the miners won

ference Of sixteen railroad brother
hoods. Samuel Gompers. big chief.

Preparations are being made to

cinnati week from today. There
the matter will be threghed cut and
the decision to strike or not TO strike
will be made, it Is said.
Extend Conference.
The brotherhoods' conference prob
ably will extend over into the con-
vention, and the tentative decisions
of the former will be sanctioned as
the combined principles of all labor
in America, ii is believed.
At the meeting of the 1G brother
hoods will be represented all classes
of workers except those actually om-
pldyod on trains, the big four groups.
Railway clerks, shopmen, station
agents, telegraphers, freight hand
lers, switchmen. all maintenance
men-some 5,OOO,OO0-will be repre-
sented.
Practically every industry in
America would be tied up if these
men decide to walk out in protest
against the cut decision of the rail
road labor board and further con
templated reductions.
Say It's Timed Wrong.
Some of the group leaders before
leaving here expressed fear over the
situation With the coal strike now
nearing its crisis, some hold the
opinion that this is not the proper
time for a show down on the rail
question.
A few others are certain that
strike cannot be avoided. The time
has come for labor's big demonstra-
tion of protest against wage slashes,
they said. The position Of tn -
ing coal miners-who walkt / JuL
April 1 rather than take a redpc-
tion in pay from the operators
would be strengthened by concerted
action of railway workers, they point
out.
If the coal strike should be broken
and the miners forced to accept the
reductions, the way would be inn
mediately opened for cuts in all in
dustries, these men maintain. They
believe the strength of both parties
lay in closer union and railway
workers and in unity of action.
