THE STRIKES STATUS
No Change in the Situation As
Regards the Shoe
Workers.
MEN RECEIVE ENCOURAGEMENT

Other Labor Organizations Oner Financial
Help in the Event OF Its Being Needed
President Powers Corrects an Erroneous
Impression as to the Purport of Former
Remarks.
The status of the shoe workers
strike at the Rock Island Shoe COM
pany's factory remains unchanged.
The men are still all out and no new
operatives have arrived since Monday
to take their places. The men this
morning received assurances from all
other labor organizations that in the
event of financial aid being needed, it
would be forthcoming in all amounts
necessary to meet requirements.
NJ. f. Powers, president of the Rock
Island Shoe Workers union. said this
morning there was a story in circula-
ton to the effect that Supt. Peaslee.
before the present trouble, had made
a proposition to come before the
union and submit his case, and also
hear the side of the men, and
probably arrive at an amicable settle
ment and thereby avert a strike. Mr..
Powers says that the union re-
ceived no such proposition. but if Mr..
Peaslee desired to he heard. the union
would gladly consent to his going be-
fore it.
Mr.. Powers Makes a Correction.
In the course of his statement be-
fore the Tri-City Labor Congress Sun
cay reciting the circumstances of the
strike, President Powers spoke of the
manner in which the shoe company
had attempted to conceal the fact that
strike really existed, of its inter-
views with The ARGUS, for instance,
and it now seems that some papers
outside of Rock Island have seized the
opportunity to misconstrue Mr.. Pow
ers, remarks, and attribute to him the
assertion that the entire local press
had disregarded the workers. Learn
ing of this fact, Mr.. Powers this morn
ing authorized the publication of the
''In my remarks before the Tri-City
Labor Congress Sunday did not in
tend to convey the impression, as far
as The ARGUS was concerned, that it
had ignored the shoe workers or had
been unfair to them, but intended to
show that the shoe company had both
ignored and been unfair to us.
m. +. POWERS,
President Boot and Shoe Workers
Union
1t is a matter of small concern to
THE ARGUS what other papers in the
may say of it, but it is
but Just to Mr.. Powers, to the labor
interests and to all concerned that |
where an erroneous idea exists it be |
corrected.
