So UNIONS JOIN
IN CENTRAL BODY

Launched at Meeting Held
in Rock Island.
HEADQUARTERS ARE HERE
Temporary Organization Perfected
With Harry Strom of East Mo-
line as President.

The first meeting Of the Tri-City
Federation of Labor was held last
night at Industrial Home Association
building, Rock Island, with more
than 80 members in attendance.
These men represented 81 unions in
the tri-cities and surrounding ter
ritory. The meeting last night was
the most enthusiastic in the history
of the labor organizations of the
three cities and augurs well for the
new organization. The Tri-City Fed
Grafton of Labor includes the mem
bership of the Tri-City Labor con-
gress and the Davenport Trades and
cations were recently merged and
will be conducted under the new
charter OF the federation.
Temporary organization was eff
fected last night, and the following
members were elected to office:
President-Harry Strom, East
Moline.
Vice president-H. E. Wickham,
Davenport.
Recording secretary-H. E. Behr--
ems, Davenport.
Financial secretary-E. ]. Aspen
gren, Moline.
Treasurer-W. H. Bunch, Moline.
Guard-M. S. Ecker, Rock Island.
The above officers represent the
lodges of the tri-cities, and although
the residence may be in Davenport
or Moline, the man may represent
a union in Rock Island, or vice versa

A committee on constitution was
appointed last night, as follows:
James n. Coleman, Richard Evans,
H. E. Wickham, H. E. Behrens, Os-
car Carstens, John Crowley, N. P.

Strom of East Moline. The commit
tee is to draft a constitution and
present it to the newly organized
body at the next meeting. which will
be held at the Industrial Home AS
ISOLATION building Sept. 20.
1t is the intention of the Tri-City
Federation of Labor to have the or
ganization on a business basis and
conduct it in a business way, the
officers to devote a considerable por-
ton of their time. to the betterment
of conditions. Extensive plans are
under way, but until something def
mite has been done, they will not be
announced. However, an office of
the organization will be established
in the Industrial Home Association
building, and some of the officers
will be there at certain hours to ham
die the affairs of the organization.
1t is the intention to handle all af-
fairs from the office and to make the
office the real headquarters of the
organization.

trial hall, Oct 6, for the purpose of |

pected that $50 or 400 men from
