five hundred and ninety dollars upon contract the face of which calls for but four hundred and ninety.
 Moreove- the contract price is al- legged to be excessive. Three well known building contractors of ex- perience have declared that they would have willingly done the work for less than four hundred dollars. MT. II. E. Butterfeld has offered in writing to take contract similar to the one under which MT. Flewelling worked, and complete the building in all respects as specified in Flewelling's contract for the sum of three hun dred and seventy-eight dollars. MT. Joseph Thompson has submitted written offer to construct a building complete in every detail in accordance with the specifications of MT. Flew elling's contract for three hundred and sixty dollars. And MT. Joe Tritch has likewise submitted in writing an offer to build in accordance with the specifications of Flewelling's contract for the sum of three hun dred and fifty-five dollars.
 The taxpayers will naturally inquire why the board of supervisors, before letting this contract to MT. Flewell ing, did not look around and find what Butterheld, Thompson and Tritch would charge for the building.
 Why did they let an illegal contract anyway, and why did they pay so much more than reputable contractors were willing to take the work for?

come a party to, the sending out of
this resolution, calling upon the

influence and efforts in behalf of the
union machinists of Rock Island arse
nal, who are now locked out By rea-
son of the open and undisguised dis
elimination against them and their
association.
President Appealed To.
That in this extremity we call upon
you, the head of the war department.
and of all other departments of state
of this nation. to look into this mat
ter at the earliest possible moment.
We call upon you because you
represent the people. We call
upon you because we have eX-
hausted every other recourse at our
command in our efforts to bring about
an amicable adjustment of the arse
nal controversy; we cali upon you be-
cause You are the supreme Judge in
matters of this character; we call
upon you because we believe you do
not hold disloyalty and treachery in
the esteem that you do honesty of
purpose and trustworthiness and be-
lieve that you will heed the cry of
humanity and righteousness, which
have been so unwarrantedly and so
unprecipitatedly stifed, temporarily,
by the officials of the war depart
ment.
We believe that you do now and al
ways did advocate the theory that the
laborer is worthy of his hire and is
entitled to fair days pay for a fair
days work, and that he should labor
under fair conditions. We believe
also that you are opposed to the prin-
ciples and evil practices attendant
upon incompetent labor and the
task system such as is now in
vogue at the machine shops at Rock
Island arsenal, and we believe that
you have not been thoroughly in
formed as to the true status of mat
tiers as they now exist as between the
officials of the war department and
which is part and parcel of the Fri
City Labor congress.
Hence this prayer is respectfully
admitted.
Awaiting an early decision in this
matter, we remain, as ever, your
obedient servants, Tri-City Labor Con-
gress, per l.. o. JAHNS.

cused herself for a moment from
Kinsley's company, the latter was at
