HELP FOR OPERATORS
Tri-City LABOR Congress Takes
Up Cause of Striking Tel
ephone Girls
WILL ASK COMPANY TO ARBITRATE
Refusal Will Mean a Fight for
Which Plans Have Been
Formulated.

The case of the striking Central
Union telephone operators of this
city and Moline was warmly espoused
by the Tr-City Labor congress at
the regular meeting of that body yes
terday. Fhe members of the operators
association to the number of 40 were
present during the entire session of
the congress, and five delegates were
seated as regular members.
AS the young ladies entered the
room they were roundly applauded
and the strike they have inaugurated
was the subject of the major part of
the deliberations. Resolutions were
adopted indorsing their action and
each delegate pledged the moral and
financial support of the union he rep
resented to the end that the girls Sc
cure that which they demand.
Seek AmIcabIe Adjustment.
1t was decided to endeavor to secure
an amicable adjustment of the diff
ferences between the operators AMI
the company. and a committee COM
posed of L. c. Berry and George W.
Hill. Rock Island; George Norris. Mo-
line; and NJ. T. Kennedy and A. c.
Reed, Davenport, was elected to Ia
Dor with this end in view. The com
pany will be asked to submit the mat
ter to arbitration, the board for that
purpose to consist of one member
chosen by the company, one by the
strikers and one by the two thus chO-
sen. The operators are willing to
place their case i'm the hands of such
a board.
In the event that the company re-
fuses to arbitrate. other methods will
be tried, the outline of which was
formulated yesterday, but which, of
course, is not made public. The coin
mittec will have the use of such funds
as are in the congress treasury, If
money is needed.

tention of the composer is to depict a
little fairy who has become interested
in the birds and calls them to hear
her for the purpose of teaching them
how to sing. She trills and they strive
to initiate her. Their mistakes are
many and the song fairly scolds them
and again gives them an example.
At last, to her great delight they get
their lesson right. When they do so,
alas! it is too late. The summer has
passed and the frosts of autumn send
the feathered songsters off to seek
warmer homes and the fairy is left
all alone. She is heart-broken over the
desertiOn by her pupils and means for
time, but then to console herself,
begins to sing the lessons she taught
them, thus forgetting all in the glor-
ious outpouring Of her song.
The brilliancy of Madame Nevada's
execution in this song is said to be
unsurpassed by anything else she
sings. 1t is hard to conceive of any
other singer attempting it, for the
peculiar, delicate, bird-like quality of
her voice is eminently fitted to the
song.

most noted colOred men of the entire
South, passed away. Perhaps no col

undertaken and succeeded in more gil

during his life. At one time he was
the sole proprietor of every foot of
street car line in Pine Bluff and heav-
lily interested in two or three other
railroad enterprises, which covered
quite an amount of territory. 1t is
reported that he has left a valuable
estate, over which distant relatives
and female associates can squabble in
the courts of that state for it's posses
