MAY MOVE TO CHICAGO.
Operative Headquarters of Rock
Island Likely to Be Changed.

New York, Jan. 13.-In connection
with rumors regarding the recent
change in the presidency of the Rock
Island company. the Herald says there
is a probability that the operative
headquarters of the system may be
moved to Chicago. The matter has not
yet been fully decided, but is in the
hands of President Loree.
Mr.. Loree's principal work for the
next few months will be the unification
of the various lines from the stand
point of the chief operative official. If
he decides this work can be carried on
with greater efficiency from Chicago
than from New York, the operative
headquarters will be moved.

WHAT is CATARRH?
The Opinion Of an Eminent Medical
Authority.

Catarrh is the cause of more diseases
than all other causes combined. There
are very few diseases to which human
flesh is subject that cannot be traced
directly to catarrh. Not only is ca
tarrh capable of producing a great va
riety of diseases, but it also attacks
any organ or part of the body.
1t causes in the ears deafness, in the
eyes, blindness; in the head and throat
discharges and offensive odors; in the
bronchial tubes and larynx, cough and
hoarseness; in the lungs. consumption;
in the stomach, dyspepsia; in the kid
neys Brights Disease, in the pelvic or
gans a host of arrangements too num-
erouS to mention.

HANDLERS ARE OUT.
Freight Men at Local Office of

Gut.
DEMAND II l-2 CENTS AN hour
Strife May Spread to Other Compa-
MES in the City and to
Davenport.

Fourteen freight handlers in the en-
ploy of the Rock Island road at this
place followed their demand for an
advance in wages made about ten
days ago with Il Wall-out this morn
ing. They had been put off with the
understanding that their case would
be taken up at headquarters and upon
reporting this morning they were told
that the company had declined to
yield. They did not go to work.
The contention of the men. as pre-
viously stated in The Argus, is that
they are not getting in this city the
wages that are paid in Davenport and
in other larger cities. They have been
working for II cents an hour with a
1O-hOur day and time and one-half for
overtime. In Davenport the freight
handlers receive Is cents and in Peo-
ria and Chicago 17% cents. The de-
mand was for the latter figure. the
hours and pay for overtime not fgur-
ing. The men claim that the platform

Exceptionally hard.
Two members of the force remained
at work and the local representatives
of the company made efforts to in
crease the number during the day.
Cars that were to have been worked
i'm this city were taken TO Davenport.
1t is understood that pressure is be-
ing brought to bear to induce the
handlers in Davenport to strike also
for 17% cents. There was some talk
also of carrying the strife to other
companies doing business in the city,
with a similar object in view.
Men Make Statement.
