70 ASK AID OF ORGANIZED LABOR
Course of Action Adopted at
Yesterdays Joint Meeting
in This City.
TO ASK AID OF ORGANIZED LABOR

The Tri-City Labor congress and
the retail clerks of the tri-cities held
a largely attended special meeting
at the Industrial home yesterday
afternoon to decide upon the course
to be pursued in the Silberstein Sun
day-closing controversy. The i'm me-
date occasion for the meeting was
the notice that has recently b,en
served upon organized labor by the
clothing merchants of the tri-cities
that Sunday opening will be generally
revived unless the closing rule is
made effective in all cases
AS previously stated in the columns
of The ARGUS. the situation in DAv-
export was personally investigated
some weeks ago by President p. F.
Bear. of the National Retail Clerks
association, and the national execu-
tive board at Denver voted to take up
the fight in behalf of the local clerks.
President Bear Present.
Yesterdays meeting was presided
over by the officers of the labor con-
home is in Ottumwa, was present
and took an active part in the DELHI
erations, which concerned nothing
outside of the purpose for which the
meeting was called. The discussion
was quite generally participated in,
the main addresses being made by
President Bear and w Cavanaugh
Both reviewed the sitaation at some
length and both pointed out the dis
astrous effect upon organized labor in
this vicinity that would result from
| weakening at this time and allowing
the Sunday opening of stores to be
resumed. ALI the speakers we're prac-
tically unanimous in favor of invok-
ing the aid of the laws of Iowa. which
are more strict than those of Illinois,
to compel Sunday closing to be OBJ
served in Davenport.
The sIIbersteIu Bond.
1t was shown that Silberstein Bros.
were placed under 81 900 bonds when
they secured the federal injunction
against the Tri-City Labor congress,
and $500 bonds on the injunction
against the Davenport retail clerks.
AT their own request the former in
junction was withdrawn by Judge
Mcpherson at Des Moines, it being
recognized that the congress was out
side of IS Jurisdiction, but the Judge
refused to release the bond so that in
case the enjoined party proved dam
ages Silbersteins could be held for
them. As the other Injunction is
still in force the bond is still up. Thus
it was pointed out that all costs of
litigation are provided for in case the
clerks win.
To Push Case.
Upon motion a com mittee composed
of Presidents Ullemeyer, of tho Rock
Island retail clerks, Hoberg, of the
Moline retail clerks, and Bellone, of
the Labor congress, who lives
in Davenport, was appointed
to retain w. M. Chamberlin,
of Davenport, as attorney for the
clerks with instructions to push the
case before the courts as rapidly as
possible. 1t was also voted at once
to send out appeals for aid to every
union in the state of Iowa and in
Rock Island and Moline.
1t is understood that the clothing
merchants of the tri-cities will con-
tiuue to close Sundays as long as the
4 ght continues.

From T. J. Medill's inaugural of 1899
81 can scarce express the feeling
that affects me upon this occasion in
assuming the duties of the chief ex-
ecutive of this city. Little did L
think when boy, in walking into
Rock Island over the old Camden
road, that events would be so shaped
that should occupy such position
as this. 1t is an honor unexpected,
and l take this occasion to return to
the people who have so generously
assisted me my grateful acknowledge
ment of their kindness. trust they
will have no occasion to regret their
action, or to feel that have violated
the confidence they have reposed
in me.
ut is with some degree of hesi-
fancy that 1 assume these duties,
knowing full well the work to be
done will require that careful judg-
ment and consideration which is ex-
pected from more matured and ex-
perienced heads. believe 1 realize in
a measure the duties devolving upon
the mayor, and will assure you that
will try and perform them to the best
of my ability, ever bearing in mind
the best interests of the city, and in
the performance of which, gentlemen,
| ask your hearty cooperation and
support.
1T is hardly necessary for me to
state that my sympathies are in
favor of public improvements.
Those of you who are acquainted
with me are aware of this aud ex-
pect so long as / am resident of
Rock Island to labor for its advance
ment.
The sanitary condition of our
city will this year require our care
full attention. Owing to the fear and
possibility of an invasion of the
dreaded malady known as the Asiatic
cholera, which respects no one, but
leaves death aud desolation in its
wake, the city should be kept clean
and healthy, and the sewers in as
perfect condition as possible. To
this department we should give par
ticular attention.
The Inauguration of the paid fire
department has, L think, met with
the appreciation of majority of the
citizens. 1t is true, as some claim,
quite expensive, still it gives to prop
erty holders that security which is
desirable.
II desire to extend my thanks to
the retiring mayor and city clerk for
the MANY courtesies shown me, and L
trust that prosperity may attend
them in the future.
10 you, gentlemen of the coun-
Gil, permit me to say that | hope our
relations may be pleasant and agree
able. For the next two years our
work will be in common, and the
best results will be accomplished by
mutual good feeling"

to the mayoralty two years afterward,
it was not to be wondered at that the
detection of some of Mr.. Medilrs most
taking expressions of ideas and senti-
ments in the paper read by
the incoming mayor, should have
occasiened considerable degree of
establishment. Much had been ex-
pected of Mr.. Knox. He had been
elected by handsome majority over
Robert Kuschmann and was regarded
as a man of much originality, firm
ness and Judgment. 1t was of course
not a reflection upon the new may or
that he should have possessed the
identical view of things that did his
immediate predecessor, but the SINH
larity of language in conveying those
ideas was what excited comment.
The coincidence was indeed so re-
markable that the following excerpts
taken from the two addresses will be
read with peculiar interest in the
present campaign:

SOME STRIKING CONDOLENCES
In INAUGURAL ADDRESSES

When L. j. Medill entered upon
the duties of his first term as may or
in the spring of 1898, he delivered a n
inaugural address that evinced so
much heart interest in the work he
had undertaken, it being in its nature
something of a departure from the
matter-of-fact mayoral speeches, that
it was generally commented upon in a
manner most complimentary to Mr..
Medill. 1t not only evinced an in
telligent grasp of the situation
which the municipality then faced,
but was retrospective as well as
prospective in its general nature. In
word it was such an address as
might we'll befit one called upon to
fill intelligently the executive chair
of city the size and Importance of
Rock Island.
The address. so to speak, made
distinct impression, and with the re-
mbrance of it still fresh in the pub
lie mind when Mayor Knox succeeded
