STATE OFFICER
VISITS OTTUMWA
SECRETARY OF FEDERATION OF
LABOR LOOKING AFTER BUS
INESS HERE.
ON ANNUAL TOUR
Working on the Director/ of Labor
Organizations of the State—Con
vention to be at Clin
ton June 9.
J. H. Strief of Sioux City, the sec
retary of the State Federation of La
bor, was a visitor in the city yester
day, leaving here this morning. While
here he was interviewed relative to
the condition of labor matters in the
state, and gives his impression of the
situation in an optimistic vein, saying
that the outlook Is becomihg more
promising.
The Iowa State Federation of Labor,
which is a state branch of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, now has a
membership of about 20,000. It is lo
cally represented by trades and labor
assemblies or central labor unions In
eluding all the different branches of
organized labor, with the exception of
some of the organizations of railroad
men.
Mr. Strief's annual tour of the state
is for the purpose of compiling the
federations' directory of labor organ
izations and thei rsecretaries. He will
also make personal inquiry and Obser
vation into the conditions of organiz
ed labor in the different parts of the
state which he visits, the number of
employed and unemployed men and
the future outlook for labor.
As secretary of the federation, Mr.
Strief, in fact, constantly keeps in
touch with these conditions, so far as
possible, through reports from secre
taries of labor organizations in various
parts of the state. "The building and
iron trades were most severely affect
ed by the financial disturbances of
the past year," he said yesterday.
"These trades are picking up, but
they have not yet reached normal con
ditions. The outlook, however, is for
steady improvement. Winter is al
ways, of course, a slack time for
builders, and there is the ordinary
improvement which always comes
with spring but, in addition to that,
the situation is improving, and by an
other month I expect it to be a great
deal better than it is now."
The federation holds its sixteenth
annual convention this year at Clin
ton on June 9, at which time the many
matters to come lip for discussion,"
says Mr. Strief, "will be the questions
of child labor and convict contract
system. Both of these questions are
known to the labor organizations as
matters for adjustment and will prob
ably be taken up and discussed at the
state meeting."
The local labor organizations will
be represented in large numbers at
the coming state meeting. With a
great number of trades and labor so
cieties in this city, a representation
of about thirty-five are entitled to be
present as delegates to the conven
tion. The exact number ow those to at
tend has not been definitely settled
upon yet, as some of the organizations
have not made their selection.
