STRIKE is NOT
NOW LOOKED FOR
Only one Point of Issue Between
Rock Island Road and
Trainmen.

\ report obtained circulation today
that strike of the trainmeu on the
Rock Island System was impending.
Investigation 10y The Argus, however,
developed the fact that the trainmen
do not contemplate amy such move
ment, at least for the present. An
other conference is to be held with
the officers of the company before
the question Of striking Will be con
sidereC.
The questions at issue are the ones
that have been matters of discussion
between the company ana the train
men for the past six months. Early
i'm January the conductors and brake
men made a demand for an advance
amounting to Is per cent for freight
men and - per cent for passenger
men, the same being similar to that
which was mace of all companies run
ming west out Of Chicago and which.
the employees of the Rock Island de
clare, has been uniformly granted by
other roads.
At recent conferences the officers
of the company have virtually prom
iscd to grant the advance provided
tit iiiVh VIII CIV w 'ii''' pay ~ ~
miual overtime or when they have Ia
wait mere than an hour for their
trains after being called to 90 out ON
their runs.
The men declined to give up this
provision, which they deem affords
them important protection. and that
is the only issue now remaining to bc
settled. The next conference be
tween the company and the commit
tee representing the conductors and
brakemen will be held at Chicago
Aug. and the prospects point to an
amicable adjustment at that time.

STRANGE TRAGEDY

Waterman, Loses Life at
Moline.
TOWER HIT BY DBRALED OAR
Victim of Friday Nights Accident
Was John Hansen Of Carbon
Cliff.

William IL. Hurley, the Waterman

avenue crossing in Moline, was killed
last night in one of the most peculiar
railroad accidents which has ever
happened in this vicinity.
y Rock Island freight, westbOund,
pulled out a coupling on the 14th car
just at the crossing. The breaking Of
connections set the air brake so sud
denly that the car at that point was
thrown off its trucks. 1t was loaded
with lumber, the heavy beams crash
ing into the crossing tower and
smashing it into ldndling wood. Hur-
ley was thrown from the tower and
fell in front of Il passing Burlington
train. He was not run over, but in
he fall a large quantity of lumber
and wreckage was piled on him. His
head was crushed, his nose torn off,
shoulder torn, both legs broken, in
fact, no portion of his body escaped
more or less vital injury. The injur-
les about the head were of such ma
ture that life must have departed in
simultaneously. Deceased lived at SAG
| Observation-Disclosures -fourths street, Mo-
! line, and was unmarried. Three cars
were deraiIed and traffic was delayed
| for IL short time.
