INCREASE IN THE FORCE.
Eight Hundred Employees at Rock Island
Arsenal Now.

Eight Hundred Employees at Rock Island
Arsenal Now.
There are now 500 employees at the
Rock Island arsenal shops This is an
increase of considerable proportion
over the number employed. Fifty or
sixty men have been added to the force
on equipments, and others in other
places.
This increase of force does not pro-
coed from any new appropriations, or
new work orders, but from the fact
that the equipment of ten or twelve
additional regiments for the Philip
pine service has been ordered, aud in
the judgment of the commapdaut. it
is best to be ready as soon as posi- BILE
to meet the call for equipments that
will certainly come from these regi-
ments.
The facts anent the reported wage
raise among the machinists, as stated
officially, do not agree with the re-
ports. Among the force of machiu-
lists there are six or eight who are
rejoicing in raise OF pay, amounting
to % cents a day. On the other hand
there are few piecework operators in
the equipment department who have
been reduced in their earning capa-
city. There are, in all, not more than
twelve or fifteen men in the whole
force employed at the arsenal who are
affected by these changes, ard of this
number one-half had their pay in

The recent destructive fire in Jerome, the third like disaster in eighteen mouths, suggests the thought that the citizrns of that town are l-ss unfortunate than unaise. Certainly after their former costly experiences with fire every possible measure against its recurrence sborild have been adopted, hut it appears that no steps were taken to increase the water sup. ply, and houses of the himsiest con- struction and huilt of the most inham- maDle materials were permitted to be erected, crowded togetlier within the narrow limits of the town, menscing the more substantial usiness etiuct- nres and dIscuuraging the improve. ment of n town where 10 protection was afforded to property, aud the con. ditions existing were so hazardons that lnsurnncs companies refused to write polcies, eveu at txorbitant rates.
