Des Moines letter forecasts Iowa coal mine shutdowns
A looming April shutdown threatens all Iowa coal mines as current wage talks fail to bridge gaps between miners and operators. With eastern states missing agreements, Iowa may suspend operations affecting about 13,000 workers and prompting a national convention focus to avert famine for consumers.

Passes Still Issued Under Antipass Law Despite Loopholes
Railroads report lists of pass holders since July 4 1907, when the antipass law took effect. Most lines filed full employee lists or officers, while the Burlington withholds under ambiguous blanks. Law requires names of all persons in Iowa who received free tickets or passes since July 4 1907, excluding wage earners and their families. Some lines continue issuing passes to lawyers and doctors pending Schultz case ruling.
