The. session, as usual, was held behind closed doors in the league room and the only information given out was thet the meeting had been called to discuss cer- tain matters that demanded the attention of the members. From the number attend- ing the meeting was deemed to be an es- pecially Important one and it was stated that freight rates were responsible to a great extent for the gathering. The con- ditlon of the sugar o 1s belleved to have been one of the important subjects discussed, as was the question of minu- facturers selling direct to the retall trade. This is one of the troubles which the job- bers d wholesalers say they have to contend with, and It is stated that at the meeting the association decided to refuse to buy from manufacturers who sell direct to the retaller. The jjobbers and whole- salers contend that all the selling of the manufacturer should be through them. During the afterncon session seven mem- bers of the Western Soap Manufacturers’ assoclation, who were returning from Den- ver on a business trip, made a soclal call. St. Joe Meth: Rouse Wrath. One of the matters before the meeting was the complaint that three firms in St. Joseph were not only encroaching on terri- tory in southwestern Jowa and Nebraska, but were also cutting prices. A special committee was appointed to investigate the complaints, and it is sald an ultimatum ‘was sent to the St. Joseph firmas to the effect that If they did not keep to thelr own terri- tory the jobbers on whose toes they were 8aid to be treading would retallate by carry- ing the war into their territory.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE BILL DIES IN HOUSE Democrats Protest Against the Seat- ing of Bruce Over Dr. Emmert— Miners Can Reach No Agreement. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 27.—(Special.)—The house of representatives this morning de- cided that the district judges of Iowa are ificiently well pald and ordered an in salaries of $1,000 a year for each one. The salary at present is $2,5600 a year. The bar association recommended increase to $4,000 a year, and Mr. Cum- mings of Marshall introduced & bill to that effect. After the house refused to Increase the salaries of the supreme judges more than $1,000 a year the bill was changed in committee to give the dlstrict judges $3300 a year each. In the house today this was changed to 32,600 a year by a vote of 37 to 33, and in this form the bill was passed—56 to 28. A bill to provide for expenses of quar- antine was passed, placing the burden on the county. The Hogue bill to require that railroad compani: ball furnish cars to shippers on notice was called up and an effort made to change the committee report so that it would come up for passage. This wi ported by Messrs. Whiting, Cowles and opposed by Wise, chairman of the raliroad committee. On motion of Biker the bill was recommitted to the committee, but to retain its place on the calenda: It conceded that the bill will come before the house In an | amended form for action. The railroad men | appeared before the railroad committee and got that committee to report the bill for indefinite postponement after it had been passed unanimously by the senal Report on Contest Cane. ‘The report on the contest from the C: Shelby district came up in the senate. The committee reported that a recount of the votes showed that James E. Bruce, re- publican, had received 4,031 votes, and Dr. J. M. Emmert, democrat, had received 4,016. The committee, therefore, recom- mended the seating of Bruce. The ex- penses of the contest were reported at $533.45. The report was signed by Crossley, Smith and Molsberry, all republicans. With the report was filed a dissenting opinion or report signed by Ball\and Lyons, democrats, in which a contrary opinion was expressed, and the declaration made that the vote of Pleasant township, county, should not have been counted, be- cause of Irregularities by the judges at the time of counting the vote. The demo- crats stated that tho judges in that town. ship permitted unauthorized persons to be in the room and handle the ballots, and even carry some of them away, and that several, persons had access to all of the ballots before they were counted by the Jjudges® A controversy arose as to whether or not it was proper to have the minority report printed in the journal of the hou and In order that the committee might pre- pare a majority report covering the evi- dence in regard to that particular town- ship the whole matter was finally recom- mitted. Blennial Elections Approved. Harper called up the resolution provid- ing for a vote iIn favor of biennial elec- tions. The resplution had been twice in the hands of committees and no fault had been found with it and he asked that it be taken from the committee and passed, which fs what was done, the vote on the resolu- tion belng 40 to b. A bill was passed to appropriate $7,000 for use in paying for clothing and .tents de- stroyed at the Tama Indian reservation in the cleaning up process after the smallpox epidemic. A report from the governor on thie matter was received. In the house a bill was introduced to make an annual ap- propriation of §15,000 for such work. The reformatory measure was taken up and discussed until the hour of adjourn- ment at noon, Trewin and Courtright mak- ing argunents against the measure on the ground that It is unconstitutional in its present form. Both are for the measure when it Is made right. House Kills Woman Suffrage Bill. The house committee on constitutional amendments this afternoon heard the repre- from the constitution, after which the com- mittee voted, 8 to 3, to report the resolu- tion for indefinite postponement.

The following bills were introduced: By Cralg, providing for three sesistant ‘dairy commissioners at $1,200 a year each; by Blanchard, appropriating $§250,000 for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition commission; by Brooks, to permit fidelity insurance com- panies to do a casualty business; by Craw- ford, providing for appoiutment by the mayors of first-class cities of boards of water works trustees. No Miners’ Agreement. The joint s committee of the lowa miners and operators has been in confer- ence here three days, with no agreement, and a prospect that there will be no agree- ment at this meeting. The committee today spent three hot scuesing the proposi- tion made by the operators regarding re- imbursement of the operators where miners lay off for individual reasons. The operators held that the United Mine Workers of America, as & body, would be responsible for the loss sustained, and the miners’ com- mittee pointedly refused to stand for it. The point is, that in case a miner stops work to attend a funeral, celebration or other event that is mot of a union nature, the operator should be pald by the local union an’ approximate sum that would be the operator's profit in case the miner worked the time specified. The United Mine Workers of America members of the joint committee refused to agree to this, but did concede that the union would use its influence to remedy this matter in some way, also to hold the local unions responsi- ble for walkouts and strikes that were in direct violation of the gemeral agreement. Considerable oratory on both sides was fol- lowed by a motion to adjourn at 8 p. m. | The miners’ committee met at the Morgan | house, their headquarters, at 1 p. m. and re- solved to stand by their decision of the forencon, and from inquiry with both sides it 18 belleved no settlement of the scale question is possible at this meeting. The scale must be reported on by this joint | committes on March 11, when the general scale committee is to meet in this city. It was hoped that the present meetings would result in framing a scale for consideration by the state convention of the United Mine Workers of America on March 4, but, pre- vided it is ready, that convention will simply discuss it, and possibly make some recommendations to thelr commitee, to be acted upon March 11 The follo: apers In incorporation proceedings were filed with the secretary today d Investment com- capital, $3,200; C.
