Good for Rock Island Arsenal.


The Chicago Tribune and Inter Ocean
as indicated by the ARGUS a few days
ago. have been doing splendid work for
Rock Island arsenal, and the Nedcs has
come TO the front in the same great
cause. Mr.. c. II. Deere, of Moline, is
putting IN good hcks- at the capital and
the Meas says in its Washington dis
patches:
Mr.. Charles III. Deere, of Moline, is
here trying to stir up the members of
congress from Illinois to secure increased
appropriations for the arsenal at Rock
Island. When that arsenal was laid out
some years ago, it was intended TO be the
largest and finest in the world. but of
late years only small amount of money
has annually been appropriated, and the
attention of congress has been directed to
the other arsenals at Springfield and
Wstervliet. During the present congress
81 ,O0O, 900 has been appropriated for the
Watervliet arsenal and $3.50, 600 for q
new building at Springfield, although a
large and fine building for the same pur>
poses at Rock Island is now standing
empty and idle. The ordnance bureau of
the war department has called for only
$500 600 for Rock Island for the coming
year, and that is just enough to keep
things going. The Illinois delegation
have not shown much interest in this in
stitution compared with that shown by
the Massachusetts delegation in Springs
field. and the New York delegation in the
arsenal at Watervliet Mr.. Deere has
also seen the Iowa delegation, who are
equally interested in the Rock Island
works. and the members of the appropri-
alton committee. and thinks that he will

Rock Island Carpenters to Omit
Work.
Rejected Demands for a Nine Hour
Day the Cause.-The Contractors
Most Afrectcd--A Card in Explana-
ton.

One hundred carpenters employed on
various buildings in Rock Island will go
on strike Monday. the Carpenters
Union having inaugurated strike for
the nine hour day. Contractors Guthrie
and Schreiner will lose all their men,
while the others are scattered among the
various contractors and builders. There
are about twenty-five non,union men 10
Rock Island.
The Carpenters Union of Rock Island
has submitted the following as sustaining
the stand taken by the men:
Editor of tho ARGUS:
Rock ISLAND, May 30.-We would like
| the following published for the benefit of
| the carpenters of Rock Island as we are
| forced to strike for what we believe to
| be just demand. AS rule the people
| are inclined to condemn strikers and ac-
cuse them Of being unjust, and demand.
| ing something unreasonable; so we think
it best for the people of Rock Island to
know what the carpenters are striking
for, that we may not be unJustly ac-
cused by citizens. In all the cities where
the carpenters have been or are now on
the strike are demanding eight hours for
a days work and an increase of pay, but
the carpenters of Rock Island think this
is asking too much at this time, and con-
cluded to go half way. and demand of
the contractor nine hours for days
work, the pay to be the same as received
for ten, as the pay of carpenters in this
vicinity is low-enough-20 to 229 cents
| per hour This is from 10 TO Is
per cent less than carpenters are getting
10 Chicago and other cities, the pay be-
ing 35 cents per hour. and eight hours for
a days work. being 50 80 day, 50 cents
more day than we receive and working
| two hours more. If eur demands are
conceded to, it will bring US below the
carpenters of Chicago SO cents and one
hour day more. A majority of the con.
tractors are willing to concede, few are
not, claiming to have taken contracts on
the basis of ten hours for a days work
| This is their own fault as the carpenters
of this city gave them notice on the first
of April that on the first of June, 1890.
we would demand nine hours for day :
work and the same pay received for ten
hours. The most of these contracts have
been taken since that time.
