CONGRESS TO ACT FURTHER
IN THE TELEPHONE STRIKE

Another special meeting of the Tri-
City Labor congress has been called
for Sunday to take further action in
regard to the strike of the telephone
operators. The matter is expected
to come up before the city council
Monday evening and a mass meeting
of citizens to take up the cause of
the girls and attempt to secure aFbi-
tration is called for next Thursday
evening.
While none of the strikers has re-
turned to work n number of new OPP
orators have been put on during the
week and Manager Richards says
they are being drawn from this city
and Moline. Once the Rock Island
council has acted those who are di-
recting the strike say that the fight
will be taken up iIr earnest, and it is
likely that pressure will be brought
to bear upon resident employees to re.
strain them from working for the
company.

THIRTY-EIGHTH TOO SOFT
FOR NEW ARMY WAGON

An incident, which, when related at
the meeting of the citizens of the
southeastern part of the city the
other evening. helped to crystalline
sentiment in favor of asking the city
council to do something for the
streets and sidewalks on the bluff,
took place the day of the meeting.
The shops at Rock Island arsenal
are turning out an army wagon with
very broad tires designed for use in
muddy roads and built on the theory
that a wagon with broad tires will
pull easier in soft ground than one
with narrow tires carrying the same
load. The broad tires had never, it
seems, been given a thorough test
and SO, having one of the vehicles set
up. the officers were casting about
for some place in which to put it to
a practical test.
Finally someone told of Thirty
eighth street and Fourteenth avenue
and the suggestion was eagerly
caught at. The wagon was loaded
heavily with lead, six horses were
hitched to it and the test was made
Before the wagon had been taken all
the way through the men in charge
of the expedition were ready to ad-
NIT that they had about all they had
bargained for, and it was conceded
that there is little likelihood of one
of the broad tired wagons ever be
ing. gotten into Il more trying piece
of road in actual use than the Thirty
eighth street hill.
1t is understood that the people of
hn Inf -fr-in
ter their efforts to secure the improv-
ing of Fourteenth avenue east from
Thirtieth street. People who live
along the street are for the most
part possessed of only moderate
means and they do not feel that they
can bear the burden of making a per
manent improvement unaided. There
fore people living in the streets lead
ing into Fourteenth avenue for some
distance on either side will be asked
to contribute to a fund for the pur
pose. With this assistance it is be-
lieved that the owners of property
on the avenue will be willing to sign
a petition for paving.
The bluff district east of Thirtieth
street is growing with great rapidity.
no less than thirty houses being now
i'm course of construction there. The
contractors who are doing the work
are finding difficulty in getting their
materials to the ground and in some
instances there are being delays eX
perienced on this account.
The permanent improving of Four
teenth avenue is a matter that con-
Germs the entire city, as well as the
residents of that particular locality,
for with an outlet to the east down
Forty-fourth street and none to the
west by which the business district
of the city can be conveniently
reached, it is natural that the people
should turn toward Moline To pur-
chase their supplies. Therefore the
committee that is appointed to con-
fer with the city council in regard
to the matter should be given every
encouragement.

Mind Unsettled.
The latest news from Dubuque is to
the effect that the girl seems to be
dazed, hardly understanding where
she is or her situation, and that she
is such a wreck of her former self
that her own relatives have hardly
been able to recognize her.
This accords with statements that
have been made here. Rock Island
people whom she saw just before she
left here for Dubuque, where she
committed the murder, did not sus-
pect that she meditated such thing,
did not know her, or know the facts
in her case. but were strongly i'm
pressed by her peculiar manner.
They guessed then that her mind
was unsettled. There seems little
doubt that this was the case, and
although the woman did poison her
little one, there is no great question
that she was SO unsettled by the
trouble in which she was plunged
that her head was thoroughly added.

track in shape for. The trees and
shrubbery are being cleared away
along the bank and sand is being
hauled in dump carts by teams. Men
are being hired at 50 per day as fast
as they apply and it will not be long
before a large crew are at work. An

has been opened in the room next to
the Globe office, while the old ware
