INI0N EFFORTS EFFECTIVE

Galesburg, H., May 3.-(Special.)-
Strike breakers sent here yesterday
morning for relief in the burlington
brick strike were intercepted at the
corner of Main and Seminary streets
and induced to return to Rock Island
by members OF the union. Early
morning pedestrians saw a large
crowd around the Doyle brothers cor
ner and the men succeeded in in
ducln& the strike breakers to stay
away from the yards.
The recent importations of men to
break the strike has resulted in the
following circular from local Brick
makers union 242 which was printed
on hand bill and sent out to nearby
towns by the organized labor forces:
'Laboring men wanted to know that
a strike is on at. The Purington brick
yards at Galesburg, III. April IS $50
men went out on a strike against the
unjust and tyrannical conditions ex-
listing at the burlington brick plants,
which had become so unbearable that
even the few strike breakers hired
leave in a day or two after accepting
employment. Misrepresentation has
been used to secure men, and unless
you want to be a slave, stay away
from Galesburg and help Us win our
strike for better conditions"
News From the Union.
Members of the union claimed they
had been successful in inducing men
sent here by contractor named Gray
of Davenport to return to their homes
without going to the yards and help
ing the company officials in loading
brick. These men it is claimed went
back to Davenport without going to
the yards. Union forces also announc-
ed that they had succeeded in getting
four more men to leave the service

the entire city. They labored with
the single view of benefting the
whole community, their slogan hav-
ing been for a greater Rock Island.
The council had handicaps, particu-
larly that of finances, but it had
done remarkably well, despite its
lack Of money to do business. This

ing forward of public improvements, |
nor with other works incident to the
proper administration of the affairs |
of the city.

turned the ordinance of the Tri-City |
Railway company to the city clerk |

done so after he had secured from

the ordinance, meeting the desires
of the mayor in reference to the Ia
