Wine Room.


Davenport. Dec. 9.-The crusade
against wine rooms in Davenport is on
in earnest. Mayor Waldo Becker has
notified Chief Martens to announce to
the saloonkeepers of the city that All
wine rooms must after today become
thing of the past. All partitions
must be torn out and those who wan:
to drink must do SO In the broad light
of publicity. The police nave served
notice on the saloonkeepers, and today
there is said to be an abnormal demand
for the services of carpenters and the
clang of hammers and hatchets is to
be heard Issuing from many dspensar-
les.
The order contemplates not only the
removing of doors and curtains but the
entire extinction of the wine ROOM
According TO the mayors order the
walls and partitions, and other obstruc-
lions by which a view of men and
women in saloons from the open ba,
has been interrupted, must be removed
entirely. 1t is said that the order will
be followed up with strict enforcement
of its requirements.
In some OF the saloons, against which
injunctions We're asked by Father Gig
linger last Saturday, the work of re-
moving the wine rooms was said to
have started Immediately after the
suits in the district court. At Bru-
bakers ON Fifth and Brady streets.
where the wine rooms have existed
from. time immemorial and under var
ious administrations. 1t is said that the
work of demolishing the partitions
started as soon as the district cour,
notices were served. The management
is said to have evinced an intention of
complying with the regulations at
once.
Several OF the seven against whom
action was brought are reported to
have applied to Father Giglinger for
leniency. promising to meet all re-
quirenents and run respectable places
hereafter. No action on their promises
has yet been announced.

Davenport Dec. Cuisines men
are not the only ones in Davenport te
feel the effects of the organization OF
labor and other unions. Society is he
ginning to ehafe under its demands. a
meeting of the Scott County Fraternal
Federation was held last night 10 con-
slider the attitude of the union mus
clans In relation to the individual
lodges. The question was pronounced a
delicate one, and the federation came
to no decision with regard to any def
" to the unions and union labor. 1t
was resolved, should be given the pref
erence in all work indecent to the lodge
functions. While the demands of the
musicians was considered rather
tyrannicai, the attitude taken by the
federation was that 1t had no desire to
stir up trouble and would take no
united action at the present time.
Demands Of Unions.
The demands Of the union, which
have been made upon the individual
lodges from time to time, in substance
are as follows:
First. that musicians employed from
the membership OF the lodge 10 assist
at the secret work of the order shall
be paid the union scale.
Second. that in case music Is de-
sired for a quadrille or other dance re-
quiring the services of prompter that
the orchestra be paid a dollar extra for
such music. a'tho the prompter be
chosen from among the members OF the
lodge.
Third, supper shall be served to tho
musicians free OF charge, If the func-
ton at which the orchestra is EN-
ployed, Is prolonged after midnight"
The musicians are also discussing Il
further demand that the lodges must
employ a rn,rSne,.n number of musi-
clans at these functions at u nich music
is feature.
Among many OF the lodge men these
demands are considered exorbitant, al
tho the atutuoe OF the lougeS as
whole is indulgent to the unions. The
demand concerning supper has pro-
voked much opposition in cases where
no refreshments are served generally
at the functions. In such circum-
stances it has been necessary to pro-
vide supper for the orchestra out Of
the lodge funds. With regard to pay
Ing musicians the union scale at Sc
cret meetings Of the lodges many
take the stand that the orchestra Is
often willing ard should be permitted
10 offer its services on the same basis
as the, presiding officer or other fun
tionaries of the order. The lodges meet
The demand of the musicians as TO
number that shall be employed with the
statement that the Importance and at
tendance of the affair should determine
The size of the orchestra and not the
arbitrary demands of the union.
Nj. ii. Calderwood was chosen as the
delegate of the federation to the con-
fention of the state organization which
will be held in the near future In Des
Moines.
