t)KS MOINES, Dec. 14. (Special.) It Is
denied In dispatches from Now York that
J. l'lerpont Morgan and his syndlcato arc
attempting to buy up tho soft coal mines of
Iowa or to got them Into a combine. At the
meeting of coal operators held hero two
weekn ago tho subject received some con
sideration and the operators Informally
went over the ground with regard to their
continued Independence, It was shown that
monopolizing tho coal business of Iowa
would bo a practical Impossibility. In this
county alono new coal fields arc being
opened up every year nnd tho area of land
now known to have coal beneath It Is ;i
great deal larger than nil that has been
worked out In the past. Thousands of acres
ot land north and cast of Dos Moines are.
underlaid with coal from three to six feet
thick. In the western part of Jasper county
a gloat coal field Is being developed and In.
Marlon county and Monroe county now
fields aro being opened. In fact, If all the
mines In the state were purchased outright
by a syndicate the operators could open as
many more Inside of sixty days, and Just as
roojI as thn mines sold. Tho only way to
control the Iowa coal Is to control tho
transportation, nnd In view of the largo
number of different railroad lines In the
tate tho Iowa coal operators feel reason
ibly eicuro from thin danger. It Is expected
that next year tho Iowa coal production
will bo much larger than ever before, as the
coal bualncsR has been In good condition
for somo tlmo In Iowa and Is growing
rapidly.
lotrn I'nlln nitcii.lini,
It has been announced here that the re
cent survey of a new railroad lino through
Warren, Madison and Adair counties, Is In
tho Interest of the Des Moines, Iowa Kails
ft. Northern railroad company. This com
pany has surveyed fron Iowa Kails to Des
Moines and has constructed about thirty
five miles of tho track which will bo put In
operation In a few weeks. It. Schrclner of
this city IfT tlo engineer, and It was Mr.
Schrclner who run the new line from Nor
walk westward through Wlnterset to Oreen
ficld, paralleling the survey of the Des
Moines & Southern. Mr. Schrelncr nays
that tho route Is tough and a difficult one
over which to build a road, No survey was
mada beyond Oreenfleld, but It Is tho Inten
tion to survey further In tho Bprlng. Two
routes aro contemplated, ono to Nebraska
City and the other to St. Joseph. It has
not been determined which ne will be
taken. The Iowa Kalis road Is being con
structed by i:. S, EllHworth, a wealthy
capitalist of Iowa Kails. It makes connec
tions at Iowa Kails with tho Illinois Cen
tral and tho Ilurllngton, Cedar Ilaplds &
Northern, neither of which roads can roach
Des Moines at present.
Htnle lu Troulilr Over Soungf.
While the members of tho State Hoard
of Control were In Davenport yesterday
making tho regular quarterly Inspection
of the Stato Soldiers' Orphans' Homo tno
superintendent was given ofllclal notice by
I ho city olnclals that tho city would hold
It llablo for damago done by further
emptying of sewage Into Duck creek, which
runs, near tho homo and which has received
i small part of tho dralnlngs from tho Insti
tution. Tho city will ulso try to prevent
the drainage from Mercy hospital going
Into tho samo creek. It Is claimed that a
number of milk dealers llvo near tho creek
before it empties into the Mississippi nnd
that tho Impurity In tho water Is dangerous
to tho milk served In Davenport. The state
board has tnken no action as yet, but to
build a tiuwer to tho Mississippi would ba
an cxponslvo undertaking.
Thoro nrc now a larger number than
usual of orphans In tho homo and Indica
tions aro that In a few weeks the attend
ance will como up to that of two years ago,
when It was largest.
Due to 'I'm Ferret.
The nudltor of stato today received n
check for $t,284.r,l' from Clinton county,
representing tho state's shnro- of tax collec
tions because of tho operations of tax fer
rots between Juno 1 last and December 1.
This represents only about one-ninth of
tho entire tax collections by reason of tho
tax ferret work, so that tho county re,
celves a much larger share. Theso collec
tlons, which have not boen Included In the
estimates of the year, aro regarded as Just
that much extra for tho state. Not until
tho January reports are mado will It bo
known how much tho stato has realized on
tax ferret work, but tho sum Is known to
bo large.

SCHANTON, Pa., Dec. 14. The American
Federation of Labor, In the last minutes
t this afternoon's session, put Itself on
record on two questions which havo been
gltntlng tho delegates since tho convention
began ten days ago, namely, trado au
tonomy and socialism. Tho greater of the
two, In tho minds of most of the delegates,
was. that of autonomy, In brief, tho spc-
lal committee on autonomy recommended
that whero there aro only a few craftsmen
In a largo Industrial concern, tho best In
terests of all would bo conserved by the
few joining tho paramount organization
and tho subdividing of crafts Into stato
nd natlonnl councils, whero all disputes
should bo settled.
The recommendations of the committee
wcro unanimously adopted. Tho amend
ments aro viewed differently by tho dele
gates. Tho miners, who havo favored In
dustrial autonomy and who havo put that
principle Into effect In the mines, looked
upon It ns a victory, while tho browery
workmen, pressmen nnd 'longshoremen saw
somo concessions In tho reports There aro
not a fow who aro displeased and declare
that the wholo report was n "straddle"
and that tho question will come up again.
Tho recommendations of tho committee's
report aro as follows:

Tho falluro of the socialist delegates to
attack tho substitute rcsolutlou was 'tho
surprise of the duy.
The socialists, In declining to tnko up
tho dlucusslon, explained that tho con
vention had so much business to dispone
of In the limited tlmo at Its disposal that
they would not selzo tho opportunity at this
tlmo to show that, socialism could cure the
Ills of immunity. The substitute was
adopted by a largo majority.
It is aa follows:

wo own to mankind to do other than

submit that It Is not within tho power of
this organization to dictate to members
of our unions to which political party they
shall belong or which party's ticket they
shall vote.
