The arrangement committee for
the Woodmen picnic to be held here
next month desires to call the atten-
ton of the public and of the Wood

be desirable. c. G. Pinkerton,

directory in which those who are
willing to entertain visitors at q nor
NAL figure are invited to register their

DECLARE STRIKE OFF
Union Machinists Vote to Return
to Work at Three
Factories.
MEN, WILL NOT SIGN CONTRACT
Have Stood Out for Nine Weeks.
Funds Running
Low.

The machinists' strike, so far as it
affects the three cities, is practically
at an end, 100 men returning 10 work
this morning at the establishments of
Williams, White & Co., the Moline
Elevator company and the Barnard &
Leas Manufacturing company, all of
Moline, in acco rdance with the action
of Tri-City lodge 3sS. 1. of A. M, at
a special meeting last night at the
Industrial home in this city. The
meeting was attended by nearly every
union member of the craft in the
vicinity.
The situation was talked over from
the beginning of the controversy I'M
til the present, it was shown that the
men had stood out as long as it was
possible for them to do so, and a vote
showed that the feeling in favor of
abandoning the strike was almost
unanimous.
The decision of the union was that
the men employed in the three shops
above mentioned be permitted to re-
turn to their places under the old con-
ditions, with the exception that the
Barnard &c Leas company is to pay
time and a quarter for all time in ex-
cess of 10 hours.
VIII Not Sign Contracts.
There are 80 machinists formerly
employed in Moline still on a strike.
These are from the shops of Deere &
Co., the Moline Plow company and
the Deere q Mansur company. At
these places all employed are obliged.
before returning to work, to sign an
individual contract agreeing not to
strike or ask for an increase in wages
for year. The union voted that its
members not sign these contracts.
Hence the 80 men will not go back
until the companies waive the con-
tract requirement.
The machinists' strike has been on
since May l last. The demands, as
is known, were for 9-hour day at
10-hour pay. With very few excep
tons the demands were refused by
all employers in the three cities. No
shop in Rock Island was affected by
the strike.

Agent Berry Talks.

''No body of men ever made no
bier or more honorable fight. >" said
E. C. Berry, business agent of the Tri-
City Labor congress, today. They
stuck by their demands until they
were without funds to continue it
longer. so l advised that they go back
to work. The men asked only for
what they considered their rights.
They have lost, temporarily, at least. "
The machinists sat their meeting
in Moline yesterday decided that they
would not longer demand 9-hour
day. and that they would return to
work in the shops where there was
no demand for a contract. This
would appear to close the strike ex-
cept in the three shops where the
contract is demanded. A committee
waited on C. A. Barnard after the
meeting, and asked if the men would
be taken back. Mr.. Barnard assured
them that all the men would be taken
back, and that without prejudice.
There was work for all of them, and
there would be no distinction made
because of the strike. The men in
quired about the contracts and Mr..
Barnard said that he would not in
sist on the contracts being signed,
but he would expect the men to give
him their word to the same things
the contract calls for.

ALARM NEEDED FOR
PROTECTION OF PROPERTY

THE ARGUS has no ISSUE with the
Union from business standpoint on
the fire alarm propositisn. 1t has
taken exception, howevtr, to the
Unions phrase that the aarm is use
less, and The ARGUS believes that,
despite the condition of the municipal
finances, the Inauguration Of first
class system such as viii afford i'm
mediate protection to the business
por ton OF the town, at least. will be
a saving to the city in the long run.
Any moment enough property
might be wiped out through delay in
getting an alarm to pay for several
systems. Rock leland has one of the
best fire departments of any city of
its size in the United States. This
department was provided in the face
of the same kind of twaddle that the
Union INDUCED in yesterday in oppo-
sition to the alarm, and to promot g
the full efficiency of such depart
ment an adequate, reliable alarm sys-
tenn is essential.
70 is well to be economical, espec-
tally when the city's finances are in
the condition they are now in Rock
Island, but it is not wise to be penny
wise or short sighted.

The youngest child. it will be re-
