Indicted in Rock Island county for al

LOCK Island Brewing company, at the
time the lid was on here, an informal

as has been told, have been held at the
Davenport Commercial club and d
mass meeting is to he held in that City
tomorrow. The Rock Island meeting
was prompted by the rumOr that a
compromise of the situation had been
proposed in Davenport, which Neal
would accept, conditional upon discrim-
nation being made against Rock Is

a development, if it should occur,
would be manifestly an evidence Of
personal spite i'll view of the prosecI-

after due discussion at this morning :

or SChaffer and composed of business
men and press representatives was
designated 20 meet a similar commit

PRESIDENT GoMPERs AND SEC.
RETARY MORRISON RECEIVE
RECOGNITION FOR VALl-
ENT SERVICES.

It should be g. matter of great satis-
faction to the rank and file of the
union men of this country that organ
lied labor has at last shown itself
to be possessed at that greatest Of all
traits-appreciations of the services of
it's servants. This was shown by the
actions of the American Federation Of
Labor to raising the salaries of Presi-
dent Gompers and Secretary Morrison
last week. A motion was made to
make the salary $500, but before the
date had ceased the figure was placed
at $4,000 for the executive and $4,000
for the able secretary. These are fig
ures commensurate with the dignity
and responsibilities Of the offices in
question. There are two officials in
similar capacities with any of the large
corporations Of this country who have
more depending upon their faithful ac-
tivities than those two officials. They
have enough power to materially affect
the bearing Of the entire movement,
and their emolument should be COM
mensurate with the duties performed.
This action Of the convention is the
final demonstration that the labor
movement appreciates the work being
done by it's faithful leaders and SER
wants at the same time-and will re-
ward them accordingly. s=.
