REDUCTION OF WAGES AT ROCK
ISLAND ARSENAL.
Ne Previous Notice Given Of the In
tended Reduction.
TIE woRKMEN CLAIM THAT THEY ARE
NOT FAIRLY TREATED.
Strong Petition o: the Masons.

This morning the Stone Cutters and the
Masons employed at Rock Island Arsenal
were notified that hereafter their wages
would be reduced. The notice as first
given was to take effect from yesterday
morning-but that was claimed to be an
error of the messenger and was corrected.
The rates heretofore paid were So, So so
and 81 per day, according to the amount
of work performed. The eight hour law,
as administered here, the workmen claim
is of no benefit whatever to them; while
the tasks set for them are like those sci
for the Egyptians, and quite as arbitrary
and oppressive. The new rates are to bt
$500, $3.50 and So, day. If man car
come up to the task given by the taskmas
ter he may get So The Stone Cutters
as we'll as the Masons are given the
hard alternative of going to work tO-mor.
row morning at the new rates or to consid-
er themselves discharged. And we are
told that few if any of them will 60 tc
work They consider it unfair and oppres-
sive to give them this notice to take eft.
feet from date. They claim that, under
the taskmaster system, they perform
about twice the work for the
same money that is performed
at any other government station, or in any
private job. And now to give them this
notice, leaving them no opportunity to Sc
cure work elsewhere, or to consider what
is best for their interests, is oppressive and
unjust
The Masons presented the following pc.
ton to Col Flagler, at noon to-day. What
action he will take in regard to it is moi
now known:

On Sunday afternoon some members
OF the \ ouug Mems Christian Association
opened religious meeting on iound
street, near the st. Paul House, in East
Davenport, and no sooner had they done
so than parties came out of the St. Paul
House and commenced singing songs, and
otherwise interrupting the services. One
party ran to the worshippers with beer,
and offered it to them. In few minutes
several hundred people gathered, most of
whom were attracted by the disturbance
Several acquaintance Of the disturbers ap-
peared, and used their influence to such
good effect that those who interrupted the
proceedings withdrew. and there was no
more interruption. An attempt was also
made to hold a similar meeting in I.afa-
yette square, the same afternoon, but it
was so much interrupted, by persons who
were in the park, that worship and preach
ing were abandoned. Such proceedings
are an outrageous violation of the liberty
Of citizens and will greatly injure the cause
of those who indulge in them. The iber-
ty we claim for ourselves we should always
freely grant to others.

endorsed its platform. The delegate adj

platform, adding that I'VE must not to-day

humbug the people again. We cant at
