A noticeable feature of the Labor day
parado In Council Dluffs yetttcrday was the
lareo number of men belonging to the Fed-
oral Labor union, who carried big lunch tins,
which, aa they marched through tho streets,
they held aloft to tho crowds on the side
walk with tho remark, "They are tun now.
Tho men looked prosperous and they were
anxious to bear testimony to the fact that
tho laboring man no longer has to go with
an empty dinner bucket, as he did four yearB
ago,
Hvervthlnc was favorable for a general
observance, of tho holiday and tho people
of Council Htuffs turned out en masso to
celebrate. Tho DrlvlDK nark, whero the
labor unions held forth, resembled an old
fashioned country fair. Tho crowd here was
estimated at nearly 10,000 men, women and
children, not to mention hundreds of ve
hlclcs of all kinds and countless baby cabs.
Doth grandstands, which aro capable of ac
commodatlng 4,000 people, were crowded to
their capacity, whllo thousands wcro scat
tered all over the park. Thero were, family
picnic parties by tho hundreds, while all tho
old-tlmo amusements such ns aro seen at
any country fair wero In evidence every
where. The day was an Ideal ono for such
a gathering and a cool breeze tempered tho
rays of the sun.

Address nt the I'nrk.
The exorcises at Driving park com
menced at 1 o'clock. Mayor Jennings, on
bchnlf of tho city, extended a cordial wol-
como to tho visiting unions from Omaha
and a general Invitation to all to fittingly
onjoy tho holiday
Following Mayor Jennings, Hon. Walter
I. smith of this city mado a short address,
in which ho congratulated the laboring
men nn tho position they have attained In
society. Ho referred to tho difference be
tween the standing of labor foday and for
merly and gavo u short historical sketch
showing that It wns not until "roccnt years
that labor had attained tho position It now
holds throughout tho world. Ho safd
laws had been enacted against trusts nnd
combinations, but no ono had over dared
to suggest muxing a law against tho com
blnatlon of labor for Its own Interest. Tho
diffusion of Intclligenco had brought about
this uplifting of labor. Tho laboring man
of today ho said was of a far higher In
teiugenco than formerly. Ho was better
Informed, hotter educated and far bettor
equipped In every respect nnd this to n
great extent had been brought about by
tho unions. Ho touched briefly on the

innorlnc man's children nnd said the hlnh
BChoo of today wns tho poor man s col
iege.
jujko KdKar Howard of Panllllon. Nob.
followed Judgo Smith, his address being
imrtlculnrly to tho occasion. Ho told o
his first visit to Council Bluffs as
"tramp" printer, but said ho wanted
understood that when ho usod tho word
"tramp" ho did not mean tho professloua
tramp, an Individual whom ho thoroughly
despised. Ho paid a high compliment to
the labor unions and tho work they havo
ncompllshcd for tholr members. Organize
i labor, ho said, was becomlug hotter under
stood by tho outsldo world. Until n few
years ago organized labor was regnrded
by the outsldo world chiefly ns a comblna
tlon of worklngmeu to force tholr cm
players to give them higher wages or I
concedo other of tholr demands. Tlmo
has changed this nnd tho public generally
is becoming to realize that there Is some
thing more than this In tho formation of
labor unions.

JEFFBIISON, la., Sopt. 3. (Special.)
A largo number of farmers residing In tho
northeastern portion of Guthrie- county
have organized a new Independent tele
phono company to be known ns tho Farm
ors' Mutual Tclcpbono company nnd will
at onco commence tho .erection of a line,
At tho outset It Is tho purpose of the com
pany to connect the towns of Panora and
ale, taking In all the farmers along tho
line and ns far on either side as possible
Later the system will, it Is expected, bo
oxtended to take in other towns, ulti
mately placing in direct communication'
tho leading farmers throughout the coun
try. Two meetings of prominent and
well-to-do farmers have been held, of
ficers elected and a constitution and by
laws adopted. An asscsment has also
been levied for the purposo of prosecuting
tho work and it is proposed' to luivo tho
lino In oporatlon within a few weeks,
Tho plan adopted Is for each farmer to
furnish poles and wire for a certain dis
tance, according to the size of his farm
nd erect nnd equip the linn for that dis
tancc, furnishing his own instrument,
Tho understanding is that tho Instru
racnt8 shall bo of high grado so that If
deslrablo they may bo used in conncc
tlon with other long dlstanco lines. The
ofllccrs chosen arc: Curt Ferrce, presl-
cnt; J. It. Mount, secretary; J. M.
Batchclet, treasurer. It la thought that
ftcr tho lino Is in good working condl-
lon that tho receipts from outsldo tolls
111 bo sufficient to practically pay tho
running expenBes, so that tho farmers
111 havo the uso of tho system without
xpenBe.

All kinds of laboring peoplo wcro out In

at tho park. Tho big parade was of course the
most conspicuous evidence of holiday. It was

not affiliated with tho unions.
From n
small band of ten or a dozen In some unions
to hundiedB In another tho men seemed all
extremely glad to show their colors and
marched with military tread behind bands,
This afternoon 15,000 pcoplb attended tho
exercises nt Greenwood park.
A big deal In telephone circles Is reported
from Davenport today. It is stated that
tho Central Union Telephone company has
absorbed tho stock of tho Iowa Telephone
company nnd that headquarters for the state
of Iowa will bo removed from tho river city.
Tho report could not bo confirmed nt tho
offices of tho Iowa Telephono company In
this city. Tho Central Union is ono of tho
biggest of the Bell companies, It owns nnd
controls nil of tho lines out of Chicago In
Illinois nnd has comnlcto control of tho telo-
phono business In Indlnnn. Forty-two per
cent of tho stock of the Iowa company has
