10 THE OMATTA DAILY J3EE: Sl'IfMY, DECEMBEK 15, 1001. IOWA COAL STANDS ALONE Fropiiition to Ctrier It ImpsiibiHtjr. Sum an NEW FIELDS DISCOVERED CONSTANTLY Itnllroml Kxlrntiin In Inlrrrti nf inn A I'll I Ih 1,1 lie Mute Una Troll lile Ihrr JrM iik Tii IVr rct'n ftrsultx, (From a Staff Correspondent.') 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. Chilli Victims. Tho 3-month-nld son of Mr. nnd Mrs, K. F.

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: Itecoiiiiiiend llie Iteport. 1. As the magnificent growth of tho American Federation of Lnbor Is conceded hy all students of economic thought to bo the result of organization In trado lines. nnd believing It neither neessnry or ex pedient tc make any radical departure from tins principle, wo ileclure that ns n propo sition tho Interests of tho workers will bo coiiccrvcd bv nilbcrlnz iih cloaelv to that doctrine as the recent great chnnges In memoiis or production nnd employment make practicable.

Nothing contained In this declaration Is Intended or shall be construed to mean a reversal of any decision rendered by for mer, executive councils or previous con ditions on questions or jurisdiction.

Wo hold thnt the Interests of tho trade union mnwtiient vill bo promoted by closely allying tho .subdivided craft, giving con sideration to amalgamation and to tho or ganization of district mid national trado councils, to which should bo referred ques tions lu dispute, nnd which should be nil Justed within allied craft lines. if. ine American ! edcriitlon of Lnbor. being a Voluntary nssoclutlon, cannot di rect and should not direct methods antago nistic to established trade union laws, nnd In order to carry the above recommenda tions into effect und In full recognition of Its logical position, the American Federa tion of Labor tiled tres Its olllccrn to old nnd assist In the adjustment of such craft iicronchmenls as dlsmitants mav tiu will ing to submit to Its arbitrament. NoelnlNt.t Are I'eneenltle. 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: Iteiioi'l of llcNiilullniiH Committee.

We declaro that slnco the inception of our movement inquiry Into tho best form of government has been Its guiding star, and will so continue whllo thero Is a high moral desire to gratify or an lnjustlco to correct. Our meetings, local und na tional, aro now and always have been frco to tho discussion of any legitimate eco nomic or political question. On tho other hand thoy aro us equally pronounced against parties and politics, religious de cisions or raco prejudices and ns success has followed these meritorious conclu sions, wo would be unfaithful to tho duty wo own to mankind to do other than strongly recommend a continuance of tho methods tho Inculcntlon of which means tho grentest amount of safety to our 'move ment with tho least degreu of danger. In conclusion wo assert- Is tho duty of all trado unions to publish In their otllclal journals, to discuss In their meetlngii anil the members to study In their homes all questions ot public nature having refer ence to Industrial or political liberty, nnd to clvo such consideration to subjects di rectly affecting them as a class; but we 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.
