Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-12-31

The younger girl was very different.
She was fair She wore a blue dress of
| the pale shade of the heavens on a
serene day. Her hat was of so light n
texture that it seemed rather like a
faint luminous circlet. The children
were looking at skiff tied to a stake
on the shore. In 1t were pair of oars
and a basket containing fishing tackle.
The boat rocked lightly as wavelets
rolled under it.
Come" said Della, ''let us have a
row on the river"
mo, no." said the boy, 1--WE mustn't
| take the boat. What would the owner
do If he were to come for it and find it
gone :s'
"Weli, let us get in anyway" cried
the older girl.
She sprang into the boat like a cat.
Homer could scarcely hear her feet
touch the seat. Then she stepped light
" from one seat to another to the
stern.
"Come Homer" she said, smiling at
him.
Don't go Homer" said Celia. '"The
boat doesn't belong to u.s."
"There can be no harm in getting
into it," he replied, wavering between
the two.
Come" interpOsed Della, before the
other could speak again. And she held
out her hand to him. He grasped 1T
and was drawn into the boat. When
his fingers touched hers he did not need
to step, he seemed to float to a seat in
the center of the boat where he sat
down. As soon as he was seated Della
pushed Off. He wondered what he
should do. Seeing an oar beside him
he cast about for it's mate. When he
looked up there in the stern sat Celia.
He could not understand how she came
to be on board.
well have a ride" said Della. The
day is lovely; the water Is quiet. We
can enjoy ourselves for awhile and
then go back and leave the boat where
we found it."
Eve shall never leave it there" said
little Celia sadly. Homer looked at her
and saw tears in her eyes.
Della laughed. 1t was a musical
laugh, but there was something mock
ing in it.
"Row, stupidr' she said to Homer.
"Don't you see we're drifting among
the rushes"
Homer, who now had both oars in
the rowlocks, pulled, though with no
great force but with just enough to
carry the boat free from the rushes
and out where it was caught by the
current
The image of the hills trembled in
the water Homer bent over the side
Of the boat, looking down into an in
verified dome. How strange it was
sky below and sky above. Della. who
was bending over the bow. cried out:
Homer, see how ugly / amr'
He looked, and there was the refiec-
ton of her face in the water. distorted
by the ripples.
Cecilia, you look over" he said, land
let Us see il YOU are ugly
Celia leaned override SHE of the boat.
The reflection of her face was unduiat--
ing. but not distorted. Her light hair,
wriggling like serpents, fell over her
shoulders. and its rippIes mingled with
those of the water. Her eyes were the
exact shade of the reflected heavens,
which formed background for her
face. Homer rested his arm on her
waist He was very happy CHANGING
at Della, he saw that she WAS looking
at them with a maleyolent stare. She
put her fingers in the water and began
to move them to and fro, making rip
pies
Suddenly quick peaIs Of laughter
rang out at the bow like multiplied

THE SITUATION
HERE UNCHANGED
No Sympathetic Strikes are An
ticipated.
Say They Will Return
to Work When Strike Order
Is Recalled.
TROUBLE Is FEARED

The local situation in the boiler.
makers strike 10 unchanged. the men
here remaining out and refusing to
return to work until the executive
committee recalls the order inaugu-
rating the strike.
There have been many confusing
reports relative to the situation, some
saying that the man had melted the
machinists and carmen to go out in .
sympathetic strike, but this is denied
by both the maohinists and the car
men. Such rumors always circulated
under such conditions, but ere abso-
lutely denied by officers Of both
brotherhoods.
A oarman stated this morning: I'VE
will not 60 out on strike because we
have made settlement with the CON-
pany for the next twelve months. We
did not get raise, ss we desired, but
got several changes in our contract
which were favorable to us. The re-
port that we will 60 out on . sympa-
thetic strike is erroneous.
A machinist, who il an officer in
the brotherhood, stated practically
the same as the carman. The ma
chinists and carmen, while they hope
the boilermakers will succeed in get
tingtheir demands will not 60 ont with
them in order to aid them in winning
out.
Mr.. H..C. McOourt, assistant gen.
eral superintendent Of southern lines
of the Illinois Central. is making Pa
ducah his temporary headquarters and
has his car side tracked in the rear of
the car shops. The situation calls for
the presence Of some high officials and
this is the reason Mr.. McCourt is
here.
Relative to a report that carmen
are acting Is special agents at night
for the company, the carmen declare
that this is untrue. The company
has several extra police on hand at
night for the protection Of property,
but merely as q preoaution. the com.
pany not in any way fearing any
trouble. The special forces are in
charge of Assistant Chief Detective
Murray, of Chicago.
Last night some excitement was
caused by several dozen shots, either
from . pistol or railroad torpedo,
being fred in the vicinity of the
shops. II 10 not known who fred
them or with what intention they
were fred, but 1t is supposed to have
been the work Of some person desir-
ing to create excitement.

BUSINESS MEN AND
BOILER MAKERS
Held a Conference at the City
Han.
Good Offices to Settle the Strike
rendered But Nothing Definite
Was Accomplished.
GOOD FEELING PREVAILED


ducah was held ct the city hall this
morning for the purpose of meeting
the striking boilermakers In Paducah,
and tender the good Offices of the local
business interests In adjusting the
differences which exist between the
Illinois Central and the boilermakers.
Owing to the fact that there did not
seem to be any real desire on part of
the local boilermakers to strike other
than to fulfill their obligations to the
higher authorities In their brother
hood, and to the fact that 1t was
feared q strike might spread, or might
by impeding traffic or causing work
now done here to be taken away, a
number of prominent business men of
Paducah invited the boilermakers to
meet them az the city hall today, to
discuss the situation and the meeting
took place at 10 O'Clock.
About dozen business men and
seven boilermakers were present, tbs
latter being principally officers in the
local union.
Mr.. + l.. Scott was chosen to pre-
side, and it was briefly outlined to
the boilermakers that the object was
not to interfere with their affairs, or
TO make suggestions. nor were the
business men there in the interest of
the railroad, but simply to offer their
good Offices, and to ascertain il there
was anything that could be done to
bring about a peaceable settlement.
II was made plain to them that this
has been bad year in business circles
owing to the reactionafr from the unpre-
cedented business of the past few
years and the fact that it is presiden-
tial year, and that this, rather than
any desire to refuse the demands Of
the union probably necessitated the
action Of the railroad company.
All the business men agreed that
now, of all times. is unpropitious for
demanding more wages.
The business men present after thus
delivering their object. asked IL there
was anything they could do to settle
or assist in settling the trouble, and
the boilermakers responded that there
was not. They said that the strike
had been authorized by vote, and had
been called by higher authorities. If
there are any negotiations looking to
. settlement. they must be made with
these higher authorities. The matter
is now out of the hands of the local
union. and therefore nothing could
be done.
They suggested thAa IL the business
men desired to do anything further,
they take 1t mp with the railroad
company. The best OF feeling pre-
vniled throughout the conference, and
each side seemed to appreciate the
good intentions Of the other.
One reason that the conference was
held is that the Illinois Central is now
considering a proposition from .
Louisville foundry to do all the boiler
work for the Louisville division at 81
cents q hour. While this would in
convenience the road, and there is no
desire on part Of the road to adopt
the plan, 1t would be preferable to
having the work not done at all, and
would be q great deal cheaper, as the
demand Of the boilermakers union 10
for minimum scale Of AZ cents an
hour. -.
