CRITICISM OF TIE GUT
Workman Spssks ss to the Arsenal Wage
K dactior.

Workman Spssks ga to the Arsenal Wage
K dactior.
More or less comment has been
made of late concerning a cut of
wages among the arsenal employees,
and in view Of some of the criticisms
which have resulted from this "out, !"
statement from the other side Of
the case will be Of interest. An en-
p!oye on the island. and one Of the
skilled workmen over there, stated
to a Davenport Times reporter. when
questioned, that the cut did not
effect the skilled workmen who
passed the civil service examination
and came under the regular scale of
wages, which is the same as that
paid elsewhere TO skilled mechanics.
The complaint, this workman SAYS,
appears TO come from some OF the
unskilied workmen and helpers about
the shop, who average Sl.50 and
S1.15, and in the equipment can III
crease this figure by so or IS cents
on piece work. The cut applies to
these men and is understood to bring
about the decided difference in the
wages OF the skilled workmen and
the helpers. When these men pass
the civil service examination, rs
some are about TO do, they viii come
In under new wage scale.

CHRIS PETERSON BURIED.
No External Marks Of Violence Found on

The remains of Chris Peterson
were buried yesterday afternoon at
Riverside cemetery, Moline. Serv-
ices were held at Wheelan's under
taking rooms by Rev. Robinson, of
Moline. The funeral was in charge
OF the Bricklayers' union, of which
deceased was member.
The verdict of the coroner's lur '
was that: Chris Petersen came to
his death presumably by being
drowned in the Mississippi river, his
dead body having been found float
ing in the said river abou; fifty feet
from the foot o. East Seventeenth
stgeot, in the city OK Kock Island,
and we the jury DO find further, tina.
the said Chris Petersen was lass seen
alive Ia company with one Lee Smith,
TO the jury unknown, in said city OF
Rock Island, and whose evidence the
jury is unable 10 obtain at this time. "
Dr. j. +. Myers, who made an
examination Of the body, found 70
marks Of external violence. Notwith-
standing this fact there is strong
belief that Peterson met with foul
play. lie had money the night OF
his disappearance, but no; cent was
found on his body. Hc was hard
drinkor, and scEe think hs fell Into

more probable he was robbed ard
