(Spoclal.) in formation was received hero today to the effect that tho Sunday closing caso at Dav enport, which was taken Into tho fcdcrnl court by tho Trl-Clty Labor confircss lnst year on behalf ot tho Clerk's unloa nnd which, It was supposed, had been nmlcably settled, la to bo reopened nnd mado a causo for a national fight In favor ot Sunday closing of such stores ns do not need to bo onon sovon days In tho week. Trouble nroso between tho firm of Sllverstcln Uros. on account of keeping clerks employed on Sunday. A closing agreement wns signed, but it was violated by tho firm on tho pre text that others wero doing tho samo. a personal encounter occurred between a representative of the firm and ono of the clerks when a boycott bad been Instituted by the union. This arotiBed the Interest of tho labor congress and they went Into court to secure an Injunction. Judgo McPhcrson of the United States court, sitting In I)es Moines, granted n temporary Injunction. Then there was nn effort made at compromise. Tho matter was much discussed and n good deal said In the papers nbout government by In junction, etc. finally It got Into polltlci to somo extent. Then nn agreement wns entered Into nnd tho caso dropped In court. Now comes word that tho American Feder ation of Labor has Investigated tho case anil has sent word to James I. Hyrne, state or ganizer for tho federation, that It will take up tho cause of tho clerks and that the 4,000,000 members of the order will stand back of them In making a light for the Sunday closing of stores In Davenport. Or ganizer Ilyrno will soon go to Davenport to lay plans for carrying on tho wnrfarc. The firm has been boycotted by tho labor unions and It 1b probablo that ns soon as It Is con venient somo kind of suit will bo brought to test the matter In tho courts. F. P. Daer, state president of the Clerk's union, will alto take a hand In the matter, ns he has already spent murb time nn tho case. Ilrnrliiu (he Itnllroail .Men. Tho hearing before the stato executive council today wns comparatively uninter esting. Representatives of the Minneapolis & St. Louis, Iown Central, Great Western, Hock Island and Northwestern rnllroads ap peared. A. K. Clarke, for the Minneapolis road, contended that assessment of railroad property should bo on tho basis of gross earnings. His company had built a new lino Into Iowa last year and as yet it was not earning anything. It had cost about J 18,000 n mllo and the lino should bo con sidered in figuring tho gross earnings nf the entlro road In Iown. He declared that the company paid out last year on tho main lino for operating expenses $110,000 moro that It realized and on the new line tho loss wns $50,000. Oeorge W. Seovers, for the Iown Central, contended for a reduction on a part of tho system. Carroll Wright, attorney for tho nock Island, exposed tho Inequalities of the pres ent assessment In Iowa, which Inequalities, ho said, had existed the last fifteen years. Ho declared that tho Ilock Island company pays $210 a mllo taxes In Iowa, while tho Burlington, Cedar Rapids &. Northern pays only $140 a mile, tho Northwestern $100 n mile, tho Great Western and tho Milwau kee $150 n mile. Vet tho earnings of the Northwcsternvaro greater than thoso of th Ilock Island. Ho said nobody could give any reason why the Hock Island should be nsscsscd $1,000 a mllo more than tho North western, when tho Intter Is the moro profit able. Tho Hock Island docs business about tho samo ns tho Mllwaukco and Oreat Western In Iowa, but the assessment per mllo on tho Rock Island Is $6,700 n mile, on the Milwaukee $4,600 a mllo nnd on the Great Western $4,700. It Is assessed about tho same per mllo as the Tlurllngton sys tem In Iowa, but the Intter has gross earn ings nearly $1,000 a mllo greater. Mr. Cranford, for the Northwestern, nlso discussed this matter beforo the council nnd declared thnt assessment by gross earnings, or by nny enrnlngs, was unjust and ought not to be resorted to, Ho nlso opposed consideration of the value of tho property as shown by tho stocks nnd bonds. Rep resentatives of tho other roads presented vnrlous vlows and tho hearing wbb con tinued to next Monday. town CnilerlaUern.
