TOOL PLANT TO SYNDICATE:
CAPACITY TO Be INCREASED

IN the time that was connected with
the company it never was able to sup
ply the calls made upon it. We adver-
tised our lines extensively, and the
food of orders proved not alone the
efficacy Of publicity but likewise the
superior qualities of our patterns"
New Building Erected.
Something over a pear ago the Rock
Island Industrial commission afforded
temporary aid to the Tool company N
erecting it a building to accommodate
its growing needs for room. This rep
resented an investment of $4,000. This
money is in the nature Of a loan and
thereby gives the commission an
equity in the plant in that amount.
The building Is well appointed to the
needs of the factory and it Is doubt
less the intention of the new owners
to continue the use Of the building if
the plant is to remain in Rock Island.
1t seems therefore up TO the indus
trial commission to see to 1t that the
new owners are made 10 feel that the
permanent location OF the plant here
Is desired by the city Of Rock Island
and that all possible courtesy and as
s1stance is shown them

makes his home, was rather painfully
injured in a peculiar accident Tuesday
evening while he was on his way to
this city. The train had reached

the entire length of the train were in

sudden stop. Mr.. Nichols was seated
in the caboose at the time making out
a report and the sudden stopping Of
the train threw him against a table
so violently that he was severely in.

found by his train crew and he re-
manned in this condition until brought
here.
He was taken to st. Anthony's hos

SANTA FE WILL
BUILD TO CITY
Announced That Road Will
Have Extension North from
Galesburg.
BELT TO AFFORD ENTRANCE
Big System Has Long Sought to Get
: FoothoId in This Locality
Others Coming.

One of the most promising prospects
that has arisen incident to the build.
ing of the projected belt line is the
probable extension of the main line of
the Santa Fe railroad from Galesburg
north to this city.
It is known that for years the Santa
Fe has desired a connection with this
important manufacturing center, but
has met with the same experience that
other railroads have encountered. The
Santa Fe is the only road In the coun-
try that owns its own line from Chi
scago through to the Pacific coast.
Keep in CIose Touch.
Representatives Of the Santa Fe are
In close touch with the local situation,
and have made the announcement that
there is every likelihood of the extern
sion mentioned In the event the belt
line is competed under the conditions
stated, viz: that 1t is to be open to all
railroads that will agree to pay a rem
tai for the use Of the tracks.
Others tn Line.
The Santa Fe, it might be stated, is
only one of a number Of lines that ere
already looking in this direction as
result Of the belt line activity. The Sc
curing Of right of way is moving along
nicely, $50 feet of the frontage having
been added to the list yesterday. Ev-
erything points to the closing of all the
during the winter in or
der to permit the beginning of build
ing operations in the spring.

THIEVES PICK LOCK
AT NV. ARCHER HON E
Members Of the Family Find Visitors
on Returning to House at
II O'Clock.

Here is another burglary, the de-
tails of which have been suppressed
by the police department. 1t oc-
CURED on the same night as the rob-
berry of the Dickman and White res
licences, but no information in re-
gard to it was given out by the po-
lice. The Argus made reference to
1t last evening. Monday evening the
home of NJ. Y. Archer, S07 Twenty
fourth street, was entered while the
folks were away and the place was
ransacked from top to bottom, al
though the burglars got away with
very few things of value. The thieves
gained entrance to the house by pick
ing the lock on the back door. There
were two of them and they divided
after getting in, one going to the sec
ond floor and the other remaining on
the first floor. When Mrs. Archer
and her daughter. Mrs. Ida Smith,
who, resides next door, returned home
about II o'clock, the burglars were
still at work, but they made an i'm
mediate getaway by rushing to the
front room, breaking out a window
and running down the street.
Mrs. Smiths daughter Mary, whose
room is on the side of the house
next to the Archer home, heard two
persons walk towards the rear of the
houses during the evening. but sup
posed it was her mother and Mrs.
Archer.
The thieves made a very poor haul,
as Mrs. Archer had just completed
the task of packing away her vaIu-
ables preparatory to moving away
from here.

GROUNDS UPON WHICH THE 1O-HOUR
LAW FOR WOMEN WILL BE DEFENDED

States Attorney Wayman Of
Cook, county has invited Louis
Brandeis of Massachusetts to
act as assistant counsel in the hear.
ing Of the Illinois 1O-hour-law fol
working women, now pending before
the Illinois state supreme court.
In 1907 Mr.. Brandeis, with the as.
sistance of Miss Josephine Goldmark
Of the New York Consumers league,
succeeded in establishing before the
United States supreme court the con-
stitutionality of the Oregon 1O-hour
law for working women. Our Illinois
law at present before the public and
the courts is an exact parallel Of the
Oregon 10-hour law.
On account Of this exact parallel. t
is significant for Illinois to note, in
Mr.. Brandeis' brief and Justice Brew
er's decision in the Oregon case, their
statement of the reason why the legis-
lature of Oregon had no reasonable
ground for believing that public health
did not require a legal limitation of
the working hours Of it's women labor
ers In manufacturing and mechanical
establishments.
Previous legislation restricting the
hours OF labor for women covers a
period Of over GO years, and is now
established in the leading countris IS
of Europe, including Great Britain,
Germany, France, Italy, Austria and
Switzerland, and in 81 of the United
States of America, including New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mas
sachusetts, Wisconsin, Colorado and
Louisiana.
This legislation is founded upon the
worlds experience of the menace to
public health involved in unlimited
hours OF labor for working women.
The reality Of this menace is ex-
pressed in the statements Of expert
testimony, commissions OF hygiene, in
spectors of factories, bureaus of sta
tistics, the reports of over 80 commit
tees, both in this country and n
Europe.

Concern Is Added to String of
Fifteen Owned in the

If there is no hitch in the tentative
plans for the future operation OF the

been in the hands Of a receiver, that
establishment will be Teopened within
a week with a force of upwards Of 100
mechanics, and eventually will be
made one of the largest institutions
OF it's kind in the west
The Argus announced yesterday that
a reorganization of the company was
in progress. It has since developed
that the entire assets have boon taken
over by an eastern syndicate that
operates IS factories Of similar char
acter in the United States. All Of the
local stockholders have sold their in
terests TO the syndicate, ana the latter
has placed c. E Shields in charge of
the plant. Mr. Shields was the first
manager of the Tool company when
it was launched here few years ago.
For the past several months he has
been connected with the sales depart
ment of a Chicago factory.

of the local industry, who interested
