AGAINST OPEN STORE
A Mass Meeting Held to Oppose
Sunday Trading at
Moline.
REV. VI. ". WILLARD SPEAKS
Resolution Adopted Terms Deal
ers Observation-Disclosures
ther Discussion.
REV. W. ". WILLARD SPEAKS

The mass meeting at h. p. hall,
Moline, last night to protest against
the reopening Sunday of the Moline
clothing stores was attended by a
number of retail clerks of the three
cities and by representatives. of vari-
GUS labor unions. The principal adj
dress was delivered by Rev. W. w.
Willard, pastor of the Second Congre-
gational church of Moline. He dis
cussed the question from an eco
nomic and moral standpoint and
declared himself as heartily in
sympathy with the Sunday clos
ing movement. There were Wig
orous talks by several others. A
Rock Islander pointed to the fact that
the Moline merchants would gain
nothing by their latest action; that it
would naturally follow the Rock
Island merchants would reopen their
stores Sunday, and the result
would be much of the Moline Sunday
trade would go to Rock Island. The
Moline merchants would better sub
serve their own interests by keeping
their stores closed on Sunday.
Meeting Resolves.
A resolution was adopted, which in
part is as follows: Resolved, That
any retail stores in the tri-cities seek
ing to thwart the honest efforts of the
retail clerks to make Sunday a day
for relaxation from business and labor
by opening their places of business
for trade purposes in defiance of union
rules are unworthy of, and shall not
receive, the patronage of those in az
tendance at this meeting or their
families, said dealers being obstruc-
tionists of the progress of civilization,
and undeserVing of consideration"
The meeting was adjourned to meet
Sunday evening, when Rev. Willard
will again talk on Sunday closing at
the Unitarian church, Moline.
1t is claimed that the obstinacy of
one Moline merchant is responsible
for the present situation there. The
labor unions and others interested
are to direct all their batteries on
him in the hope of eventually bring
ing him around to their way of
thinking.
An effort is being made to settle
the difficulty between the retail
clerks of the tri-cities and Silbersttin
Brothers, OF Davenport, in regard to
Sunday closing. On the part of the
former, the matter has been left with
f c. Berry, business agent Of the
Labor Congress. At the
firms request, he visited Davenport
yesterday to confer in regard to a
settlement, and is in that city this
afternoon on the same mission.

Sensation at Washington.

The brush yesterday between Lieut.
Gen. Miles and Gen. Darlington,
now chief of ordnance at Washing
ton, will be heard of with inter-
est here, the latter officer having form
erly been in command at Rock Island
arsenal, and the former having been
8 visitor at the arsenal a year or so
back. Says a Washington dispatch :
Lieut.. Gen. Miles strobe into the
private office of Gen. Burlington
shortly before noon, and looking
Burlington straight in the eye de-
mandCd that he present q written de-
NAL of or an apology for statements
which Burlington is alleged to have
made last Sunday.
81 will give you until Saturday
noon to comply with my request,
the lieutenant general is reported to
have said to the chief of ordnance,
and then after warning him that if he
failed to make ample apology charges
will be preferred against him and
submitted TO the secretary of war,
Gen. Miles left the room and went
back TO his own office. Gen. Miles,
while seemingly very stern and de-
termined, betrayed no anger. Gen.
Burlington, on the other hand, be-
came slightly nervous and excited,
but was careful to reply to Gen. Miles
in the same even tone that the latter
employed.
The news of the interview was
quickly disseminated through the
war department, and it caused q pro-
found sensation. What surprised the
officers and employees of the depart
ment most, however, in view OF the
strained relations that have existed
between the two generals for many
months, was that the meeting ended
as peacefully as it did. Gen. Miles be-
lieves that Gen Burlington made
statements which were intended to
reflect disadvantageously upon GER
tain army officers and bureaus. The
trouble between these soldiers began
several months ago over the adoption
of the disappearing carriage used on
seacoast Notifications. Gen. Miles
opposed the carriage on the ground
that it was useless, faulty and out of
date. Gen. Burlington stood sponsor
for 1T as modern appliance of war,
which could not be abandoned with
out loss to the country
