Firemen of 176 cities of the United States obtained better working conditions and pay scales, during the past year according to Fred W. Baer, President, International Association of Fire Fighters, who spoke at the thirteenth annual convention of the Iowa Association of Fire Fighters, held at Davenport June 5-6.

He explained the difficulty the association had in obtaining affiliation with the American Federation of Labor, because firemen were in the uniformed class.
