DEVOTE EVENING TO WATER City Council Struggles with Various Flans to Keller too Situation. Despite the attractions of the opening day Of the street fair and carnival and the fact that It was Labor day tho city council at Ita regular monthly meeting last 'night did not adjourn after allowing the bills as had been anticipated. Flood conditions de manded some action and the aldermen de cided that it was a case of business before pleasure this time. Alderman Lovett, as tha representative of the residents of the Sixth ward, had the floor a great part of tha meeting. At his uggeatton It was decided to construct a culvert three feet wide and three deep un der tha tracks of the Illinois Central rail road on Eighteenth street directly south of Avenue A. This, It Is thought, will assist materially In draining tha large submerged are north of Broadway, . Mr. Lovett re ported that he had succeeded. In getting the motor company to make a; number of ditches under Its tracks on Avenue A be tween Sixteenth and Eighteenth streets and this had assisted greatly in Improving con ditions In that district Alderman Lovett also succeeded In se curing tha consent of the council to tha placing of a five-foot brick culvert under Broadway at Seventeenth street, as a perm anent outlet for the water north of there. This culvert will be constructed aa soon as the flood subsides sufficiently to permit It. Alderman Casper opposed the five-foot cul vet and urged that a twenty-four-inch tile ewer would be sufficient, with the present aewer. Alderman Casper suggested It plan for re lieving the flood conditions. It was that tha city secure tha use of tha dredge now at Lake Manawa and use' It an Indian Creek, and that the Northwestern railroad be required to raise Its bridges at Eleventh treet at least two feet. This, ha thought, could ba accomplished at an expense not to exceed 16,000. This, with the raising of cer tain of the city bridges, would. In his opin ion, solve the flood problem. Kls sugges tion went a glimmering, as tha other alder men did not believe it feasible. W. H. Kimball of th Kimball Elevator Company, and William Walker of tha Nov elty Manufacturing company, appeared be fore tha council and asked that some steps ba taken to drain off the water In tha vi cinity of their plants. Mr. Kimball stated that his foundry had been shut down since th flood on account of the water, and Mr. Walker said that several of his workmen vera sick at horn on account of Inhaling th fetid odor from the stagnant waters. They suggested that th water could be drained If the Rock Island and Burlington roads would construct culverts under their mbankments. Th council decided that In order to get quick action on the railroads tn th matter of constructing these pro posed culverts was but to rsfer ths matter to th Board of Health, which has the power to make any orders It may deem necessary for th public health. At the request of Alderman Fleming the city engineer was Instructed to at one glv his personal attention to th condi tions prevailing In the district bounded by Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets and Second and Eighth avenues, and devise some plan whereby th water can be drained off. In answer to an Inquiry from the council City Physician Houghton said that the use of Urn would be but a temporary ex pedlent to purify condition now prevailing In th submerged districts. Th area un der water Is so great that Dr. Houghton aid he failed to ae what could be don xoept to drain th water off as speedily as possible and then fill the low-lying lots. City Clerk Phillips reported th city en gineer hsd mad a tabulation of th paving bids and that E. A, WlckhanVs was the lowest. On motion of Alderman Huber the matter of awarding th contract was de ferred for on week. He stated he had been asked to secure this postponement by a number of Interested property owners. Th council adjourned to next Monday and will meet as commute of the whole Wednesday luurning. Plumbing and nesting, rnxby ft Boa. Kip Them In the Bad.

DAVIS ON CAPITAL AND LABOR Congressman Smith Makes a Short Talk In Which H Gives th Labor I'nlons lorn Advice. Th labor unions of Council Bluffs held their Labor day exercises yesterday after noon at Lak Manawa, where a crowd of nearly 2,000 people assembled to listen to the addresses and enjoy th program of sports. Prof. Claud Davis of Drake university, the principal speaker of th afternoon, de livered an eloquent and Interesting address. He received quite an ovation on being In troduced by Mayor Dell Q. Morgan, who acted as master of ceremonies. Prof. Davis took the stand that there was no conflict between capital and labor and that there never has been. The man who talks about antagonism between labor and capital, that Is, labor and capital In them selves, he said, slther talks out of Ignor ance or Is a demagogue, who talks for th advancement of his own selfish Interests. Capital cannot get along without labor and labor cannot get along without capital any more than life can continue without the light of the sun. Capital Is as abso lutely necessary for the progress of the laborer as It Is utterly Impossible for cap ital to b efficient without tha worklngman. The hackneyed expression, "capital and labor," Prof. Davis asserted, was mean ingless. To make It understood a third term had to ba supplied, and that was "management," which Introduces the hu man element Th first two factions, he declared, were friends In their natural re lationship, but man in his exercise of bad management is the relentless foe of both. Oood management of corporations and unions he held to be the solution of present difficulties, and, while advocating arbitra tion as the foundation of good manage ment, Prof. Davis asserted that,' In his opinion, arbitration was but a temporary resort for th settlement of labor troubles and that the permanent basis of adjust ment would have' to be found In the re ligious principle of the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would that others do unto you." Congressman Walter I. Smith, who re ceived a most flattering reception, made a short address, In which he took the stand that the American laborer, while receiving higher, wages and working shorter hours than those of Eifropean countries, should avoid seeking to reduce production by adopting the European scale of a day's work. In support of this he referred to the report of a German expert In the shoe business, which was to the effect that while American workmen labored shorter hours and received higher pay than those of German, their labor was so much more productive that th actual cost of produc tion In America was far less than In .Ger many. The same rule, he said, applied to other lines of manufacture, and in this, he declared, lies th superiority of the Amer ican workman. Program of Sports. At th close of th exercises th crowd njoyed th program of sports and watched the ball game between th Eagles and th Smiths, which waa won by th Eagles by a soor of I to 0.

The parade was a popular attraction and was witnessed by thousands of people, who lined the streets along the line of march.

Council Bluffs' second annual street fair and carnival opened yesterday afternoon under conditions that promise to make It as great If not a greater success than last year. Over 0 people were on ths grounds yesterday afternoon and this num ber was doubled during the evening. All that la needed, th committee declared Ut evening, to beat last year's record Is good weather and Indications are that the of ficials who preside over the weather bureau will keep the rain off until after Saturday night. The commercial exhibit this year exceed those of last in every respect end the booths are much more elaborately dec orated. Not only are the decorations of the booths more elaborate, but no two are alike, and this diversity, whloh was lacking last year, makes this feature of th street fair so much more attractive. Starting from the Elks' club house the booths on what Is termed Industrial street are occupied as follows: Administration booth, the Dally Nonpareil, the Peregoy ft Moore company, Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution, Keller-Farnsworth Furni ture company, B.

The street fair was the scene of consid erable roughness last night, owing to the unrestricted use of confetti. Many pcoVle, rather than be subjected to the roughness of the rowdy element, left the grounds. Toung rowdies, armed with brooms and feather dusters, paraded the grounds at will, unmolested by the officers, and young women were forced to submit to having confetti, much of It picked up off the street and mixed with dust and gravel, rubbed Into their faces. Several young rowdies, not content with being permitted to use confetti, supplied themselves with axle grease and rubbed this Into the faces of young girls who were without escorts and could not resent the Insult. Owing to the many complaints made last night, the carnival management decided that no brooms or feather dusters would be permitted during the remainder of the week and rowdyism will not be tolerated. Tha sale of Individual tickets for yester day reached 6,600, and this, with the season tickets disposed of, shows that the 'at tendance reached the 8,000 mark.
