AGREEMENT ENDS MAY |
Bosses Say Compromise of 1915 Was
Offered-NO Important Work
Tied Up.

A score of journeymen plumbers
went on strike in Rock Island today
for an increase i'll wages. All six shops
whose owners are members of the Mas
ter Plumbers association are affected.
AS it happens there is very little work
under way in the city now and SO no
important construction is halted.
The annual agreement of the plumb
ers expires May !. Some time ago the
men, who have been getting $3.50 for
hours work, presented a demand for

ter Plumbers association today stated
that the bosses refused to give the
sum asked, but offered to compromise
at 1915. The men declined to take
less than 81, and the strike followed.
The shops affected are Allen, Myers

Mahon, E. E. Lamp, George W. Red

say Tests Are severe.
The men maintain that they are re.
quired to pass more severe eXamina-
ton in Rock Island to secure a license
than in any other city in this part of
the country, and they say that their
pay. $3.50 a day, is not as large as is
paid in other cities where the tests are
less severe. One of the men this
morning, speaking of the strike. said
I'VE believe we are fully entitled to
the increase asked. and while we do
not expect to secure our point at once.
we think we will be successful. We

man to give the finishing touches

who ever steered a high-pOwer au-

They were seized, strong arms piniOned
them, knives We're at their threats. In
q twinkling, and while they still expect
ed death, sacks were dragged over thei,
heads and down to their waists, and
they were helpless.
1t was well. it was neatly done: and
completely done. with a single draw
back. The men had not seized F!avia,
and, white as paper, but with rage, not
fear, she screamed shrilly for help
screamed twice.
She would have screamed a third
time, but Colonel Sullivan. who knew
that they were scarcely two furlongs
from the meeting place, and from some
thing possible. He flung his arms
round her, pressed her face roughly
against his shoulder, smothered her
cries remorselessly. Then raising her,
aided by the man with the musket, he
bore her, vainly struggling-and. it
must be owned, scratching-after the
others out OF the driftway.
The thing done, the c%olonel's little
band of Frenchmen knew hat they had
cast the die and must now succeed or
perish. The girls screams, quickly
suppressed, might not have given the
alarm: but they had set nerves on edge.
The prick of a knife was used-and
often-tO apprize the blinded prisoners
that II they did not move they would
be piked. They were dragged. a sea-
mar on either side of each captive, over
some hundred PAGES Of rough ground
through the stream, and SO into a path
litter better than a sheep track which
ran round the FARTHER side of the hill
of the tower, and descended that way
to the more remote bank of the lake.
It was q rugged path, steep and Slip

feet in places and more than once fol-

II no late m to the meeting en-
them, Colonel John, to whom
every foot Of the ground was familiar,
saw nc reason, apart from the chances
of pursuit, why they should not convey
their prisoners to the sloop. All. how
ever, depended on time. II Flavia's
screams had not given the alarm, it
would soon be given by the absence of

The missing leaders would be

the man who fettered her feet, and bore
part Of her weight. Twice she freed her
mouth and uttered a stifled cry. The
colonel only pressed her face more ruth

on her silence. But the sweat stood on
his brow: and, after carrying her no
more h 300 yards. he staggered I'M
der the unwilling burden. He was on
the path now and descending, and he
held out a little farther.
But presently, when he hoped that
she had swooned, she fell to struggling
more desperately. He thought, on this,
he relaxed his hold to allow her to
breathe. For reward she struck him
madly. furiously in the face, and he had
to stiflc her again.
But his heart was sick. It was a
horrible. o brutal business, a thing he
had not foreseen on board the Cor

would faint at the first alarm; and his
courage. which would have faced al

He could not murder the girl, and she
would not be silent. No she would
