ters here. More than a dozen largo
houses have signed the new agree-
ment and others are planning to do
so. Scarcity of non-union workeis
and a good demand for products are

crease in pay for piece work. About
6,000 men are said to be affected.

ROCK ISLAND PASSENGER TRAIN
JUMPS FROM TRACK
ABE INJUREO—MANY FATALLY
The Dead Were Crushed and Mangled
In Many Cases Beyond Rec-
ognition—Train a Mass
of Twisted Steel
Marshalltown, la.—Forty-five per-
sons were killed and forty were In-
jured, many of them fatally, in a
wr ck four and one-hair miles north
of Green Mountain, Iowa, Monday
morning on a Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific train.
The train, which was a conso<.na-
tion of No. 19 from Lnicago and No.
21 from St. Louis, bound for Minnea-
polis, Minnesota, was being detour-
, cd old- the tracks of the Chicago,
Great Western railroad. Running
j through a cut north of Green Moun-
tain, the leading engine struck a
' spread rail. It Is believed. The polit
1 locomotive furiiped the track and with
terrific force was buried in an em-
bankment of soft clay. A second lo-
comotive, coupled behind the first,
rolled over and the impact of the
sudden stoppage burled all tile rear
! cars forward.
A coach, a smoker and a Pullman
car were smashed to splinters, almost
all the occupants being killed or In-
jured. The superstructure of the
Pullman was literally shaved off and
was jammed like a ramrod through
the smoker and day coach.
Trains 19 and 21 were sent from
Cedar Rapids to Marshal'town. At
Marshalltown they were coupled to-
gether with both engines on in front
running backwards.
Five miles beyond Green Mountain,
at the top of a hill, is a cut about
twelvo feet deep. In this cut the ten-
der on the leading engine suddenly
jumped the track, throwing the head
locomotive into the sido of the bank.
The clay of the s*:des was soft and
the engine went into it and stopped
instantly. The sudden stoppage
ditched the second locomotive and
the heavy train and crushed the day
! coach and smoked upon the Pullman.
The siuc^-ei- and day coach were In-
stantly telescoped and hardly an oc-
cupant of either car escaped death
or injury.
The uninjured passengers soon be-
gan the work of removing the dead
and injured. The dead were taken
to an adjoining pasture and laid out
j upon the grass.
It was two hours before the relief
train from Marshalltown, carrying
surgeons and Coroner E. W. Jay, ar-
rived. Tho sight that met the eyes
of the surgeons was beyond descrip-
tion. The de!id were crushed and
mangled ui many cases beyond recog-
nition. Heads were severed from
bodies, arms and legs were cut off.
Here lay a bleedng trunk. There a
head wtli a ghastly agony of death
stll upon the courtenance of the un-
fortunate victim.

senting a daily output of 10,000 dozen

Renew Conference
Cincinnati, Ohio With a new prop-
osition before It the Joint scale com-
mittee of miners and>operators of the

tion of the miners will result. It is
believed, in a compromise.
TARIFF WAR MAY COME
j President In Conference With Cana-
dian Minister of Finance
Albany, N. Y.—At the conclusion
of a conference which, with two or
three interims, coverfed practically
| the entire day, President Taft Sun-
day night seemed hopeful that a tar-
iff war with Canada may yet be a vert-
led.
j The negotiations between the pres-
| ident and W. S. Fielding, the Cana-
dian minister of finance, did not re-
j suit either in agreement or disagree-
| inent. Many details remain to be
j worked out and at this time it was
i declared that the following official
|statement sums up the situation:
1 The president and Mr. Fielding
i were in conference in respect to the
!tariff for several hours. No conclu-
sion was reached, but the situation
'remains one of "friendly negotia-
[ tion."
1 Eleven days remain for "friendly
negotiations" before the maximum
;rates of the Payne-Aldrich law auto-
matically go Into effect against those
|countries that are regarded by the
president as "unduly discriminatory,"
against the I'nited States. The law
is arbitrary as to its application, but
the president is given judicial powers
in reaching a conclusion as to what
constitutes "undue" discrimination.
Up to this time Canada has been
regarded by the president's tariff au-
visers as "unduly" discriminatory and
unless concessions are granted by the
Dominion government fo place the
United States on an equal footing
with France and thirteen other coun-
tries that have been given preferen-
tial rates under the Canadian tariff
it seems inevitable that Canada will
be the one important country in the
world which the 25 per cent increase
In the maximum American rates will
be applied.
The president lias been keenly
alive to the situation, however. In
his speech at the University club ban-
quet here Saturday night Mr. Taft
referred to the fact that he had in-
vited Mr. Fielding to meet hiin here
to see if some means might not be
devised to avert a tariff war between
Canada and the United States.
"With 3,000 miles of border be-
tween us, he said, "we must study
to prevent conflict, trade or other-
| wise, and we must be as close friends
j as possible for the mutual benefit of
.both. *
j In view of the fact that so short
a tima remains for the adjustment
of the tariff differences with Canada,
President Taft, before leaving Wash-
ington, consulted his advisers as to
I whether, after the maximum rates
had automatically been applied, it
would be within the power of tne
executive by proclamation, subse-
quently to grant a reduction. Secre-
tary Knox, without definitely commit-
ting himself, held tho opinion that a
change in circumstances favorable to
the United States might warrant the
president in rescinding the maximum
tariff.

Morton Gets Appointment
Mexico City.—Announcement lias
been made here of the appointment
of Paul Morton of New York, pres-
ident of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance company and former secetary
of the navy, as vice president of the
Pan-American railroad. His- head-
uarters will be in New York.
New Government Station
Newport, R. I.—Work upon the pro-
posed large fuel oil station for the
navy at Bradford, near the naval coal-
ing station, will begin soon. The
navy department advanced the time
for opening the bids and has other-
wise given evidence of a desire to
push the work through. The station at
Bradford, one of the chain on both
sides of the continent, will have a stor-
aiv capacity of O-jO.OOO gallons of fuel
oil and 100,000 gallons of gasoline ami
will be the largest on the Atlantic
coast.
Gold Discoveries Cause Excitement
Spokane, Wash.- Prospectors and
miners from nearly every camp in
the Northwest are rushing to ' the
Elk City district in northern Idaho, |
and to Jarbridge, just south of the
Idaho-Nevada state line, where there I
is great excitement over recent gold f
discoveries. The first named district I
was the Mecca of placer miners about
45 years ago, the Wells-Fargo Co. j
handling more than $30,000,000 in |
gold, the total output from 1864 to
IS" 1.
Home Invaded; He Kills
Kansas City.—Nathan A. Gill, a
brakeman, was shot and killed here
by Jesse Brody, a carpenter, in a
quarrel that took place when Gill
found Brody in his home. Brody es-
aped.
Rochester, N. Y.—In his address b
fore the Chamber of Commerce here
President Taft made an earnest ap-
peal to congress to subordinate and
sacrifice individual opinions In order
that the measures he had recommend-
ed In fulfillment of party pledge*
shall be enacted 'Into law. He ex-
pressed the hope that the party
would show that It has the sense
and discipline to meet its responsibil-
ities."
The impression had got abroad that
the president might have something
to say with regard to the acute situa-
tion in the house at Washington, but
this was his nearest reference to the
subject. At one point of his speech,
which was devoted entirely to the leg-
islation he had recommended lu tbe
past few months, the president fur-
ther declared:
"If, this congress- i< to be treated as
a republican congress, these things
ought to pass in fulfillment of party
pledges. After this is done It does
not matter what happens at the next
election. We will have done some-
thing the country will be grateful for
whether it thinks it ought to express
this gratitude in the immediate fu-
ture or not."
Mr. Taft constantly was interrupted
by applause and when toward the
end of his remarks he declared with
great emphasis that he had tried as
president to do what he believed was
right rather than do things that
would bring political strength, the
audience of nearly a thousand busi-
ness men of Rochester, stood up and
cheered for several minutes.
The president spoke extemporan-
eously but with great earnestness
throughout. He declared he had been
told he was no politican and dire
things had been predicted. He be-
lieved, however, in the end the peo-
ple would find the measures recom-
mended to congress were right, and
that right, after all, was the very
best politics.
The president summed up the
things which he declared had caused
some of his advisors to characterize
him as a bad politician.
In the first place, he said, there
was the tariff law and a new tariff
bill always defeats a party.
In the second place, the corpora-
tion tax, bringing with it the enmity
of everybody directly or indirectly in-
terested in the more than 400,000 cor-
porations by it affected.
In the third place, th"re was the
"alleged" postal deficit which has
been charged to the carrying of mag-
azines and periodicals at one cent a
pound.
In the fouith place, congress only
reduced the duty on print paper 30
per cent, instead- of putting it on the
free list. This offended the newspapers
And last of ail, the postal Savings
bank bill had turned all the bankers
against the administration.
The president referred to the meas-
ures he hoped congress would adopt
at tills session in the following order:
The bill amending tbe interstate
commerce law.
The bill for postal savings banks.
The anti-injunction bill.
The statehood bill.
The conservation bills.
Ruskin's Protest
Utopianism: that is another of th
devil's pet words. I believe the quiet
admission, which we are all of us so
ready to make that because things
have long been wrong it is impossible
that they should ever be right, is one
of the most fatal sources of misery
and crime.—Ruskin, Architecture and
Painting."
As It Looked to Her
To my little -daughter of three the
dawning of each new day was a con-
stant marvel and surprisb. Going to
an east window, she would look out
quickly and exclaim: "Mamma, the
sky's open again!" One morning
there was a heavy fog, and when Be-
atrice went to the window she cried
in great alarm: "Come, quick! Come,
quick! The sky's coming down the
road." —Woman's Home Companion.
Mill is Destroyed
New Elm, Minn.—Firo destroyed
the mill, two elevators and the office
| building of the New Elm Roller Mills
I company. The loss is estimated at
I $100,000.
Katy Prepares for Strike
Denison, Tex.—That the railroads
of the southwest are expecting se-
rious labor troub'e among their em-
ployes and the miners of this region
is becoming more apparent here ev-
ery day.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railroad company is storing large
amounts of coal for company use here
and at many other points on Its lines.
Over fifty cars a day are being un-
loaded at this point and already
rjore than one thousand cars nave
bt-en unloaded. This same company
lias nearly as much on hand at Mus-
kogee, Okla., and at Hillsboro, Tex.
That the Katy is making every effort
possible to have plenty of coal on
hand when the miners' strike begins
in April is shown in the preference
that company gives coal trains over
other freight trains. Coal trains op-
erating from Oklahoma south Into
Denison are given schedules almost
equal to-passenger time.
Most of the coal used by the Katy,
K. & T. C,, Cotton Bol. and Texas &
Pacific is mined in Oklahoma.
El Reno Gets Second Plant
EI Reno, Okla.~ A deal has been
closed whereby a second packing
plant has been secured for El Reno
and tbe actual work of construction
will be begun within the next sixty
days. The industrial company enter-
ed into a contract with the Agar
Packing company of Indianapolis,
whereby the packing company will
build a million-dollar plant here. The
present plant, which is rapidly near-
ing completion, will begin killing at
a date not later than May I.
Loaf Bread
Tt is ■perhaps worth recalling that
the art of baking loaves came to
Europe quite late in history. Flat
cakes were baked even in the earliesf
times, but as late as the beginning of
the nineteenth century, loaf bread
was comparatively unknown in many
parts of the continent. In 1812, for
instance, when an English captain or-
dered loaves to the value of L1 in
Gothenburg, the baker stipulated for
payment in advance, on the ground
that he would never be able to sell
them in the city if tliev were left on
his hands.—London Chronicle. ,
