Wester Union Must Pay
Secretary of Bute W. C. Hayward has
caught the Western Union Telegraph com
pany napping. When H. W. Byers became
attorney general' of Iowa he announced
that there were many corporation laws on
the statute books that were not enforced
and he orouoscd to enforce them or find
out If they were incapable of enforcement,
One of these suits was started against the
Western Union Telegraph oompany to
fmca it to file a certified copy of Its
articles of incorporation.
The last legislature passed s law requir
ing all corporations to maks annual re'
ports. Secretary Hayward did
any to the Western Union on the ground
that a suit was peudlng and that It bad
no right to do busineee In .the state, but
the Qompany sent In a blank properly filled
out with the fee accompanying. Secretary
Hayward wrote back to the New Tork
office informing the company their report
could not be (lied because they bad failed
to oomply with the other law requiring
them to file a certified copy of their
articles of incorporation.
This morning he reoeived from the com
pany e attorney a letter saying tney were
willing to oomply with all features of the
law except a requirement which provides
that ths directors of the company must

to bs one of the most Important witnesses
of the coming week.

ments In Washington had been entered

pany has been Increased by a number of
new people, Including Charles Moran, Ber
tram Millar, Charles Mortimer and Edwr.rd
Furgerson, who will make their first ap
pearance tonight In the rive-aot political
drama entitled "In the Power of the State."
This play tells a thrilling story of political
trickery and an unwarranted strike. Phil
lip Carrlngford had been elected governor
of the state by machine politicians who
secured the support of the various labor
unions. Joe Pagley, president of the losal
union, with others, have been discharged
from the Lsndon mills on grounds of In
competency, and who succeeds In rorclng
a strike with the hope that they might be
reinstated. Landon, the mill owner, ic
tuses to deal with the union or reconsider
his action tn the case of the discharged
men. As time goes on the union funds run
low, other federations of labor refuse to as
sist, the strikers become desperate and re
sort to the destruction of Landon's prop
erty to force him to come to terms; the
local police refuse to Interfere and Land in
appeals to the governor to call out ihe
state troops to protect his property, but
the governor's reply is that, brtng In the
wrong, he has only himself to blame If his
mills and factories are burned by the strik
ers. The deplorable state of affairs Is
brought to a climax at the end of the fourth
act when the governor Is killed by Tom
Gardner and the power of the executive
passes to John Mitchell, the lieutenant gov
ernor. Of course, there is a vein of com
edy and a beautiful heart story' running
through the play, but ths political ques
tions snd the complications arising from
the strike makes it food for serious thought.
