LAWS TO GOVERN
new LABOR BODY
Constitution of Tri- City FEEDER.
alton Is Adopted in
Part.
REVIEW IS RECOGNIZED
Organization Planning to Publish a
Weekly Instead of Monthly
Official Organ.

The TRICKY Federation of Labor
met last night at Industrial hall, Rock
Island, and acted upon many import.
ant measures The committee appoint
ed two weeks ago to draw I'D bylaws
and constitution submitted a partial
report, which was adopted. The com
mittee was instructed to complete its
work and report back at the next meet
ing. One of the articles Of the con-
stitntion which was adopted recognizes
| the Tri-City Labor Review as the only
official labor paper published in the
tri-cities. Heretofore the Tri-City La
Dor Review has been published month
ly in Rock Island. Steps are to be
taken shortly to make the paper a
weekly.
A little more than a year ago, or on
Sept 1, 1909, the International Broth
erhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship
Builders and Helpers of America, en-
ployed at the Davenport Locomotive
Works, walked out, and since that
time, no union men have been employ
ed at the plant. Recently, the mem.
bers of this organization allege, the
owners of the plant circulated a story
stating that the strike had been call
ed off, but it is denied that such is
the case. A letter was read last night
from H Hinzman, vice president of
the international, stating that the or
ganization was in the fight to the fin
ish and would carry this fight to the
finish until such time as the company
sees fit to deal fairly and squarely
with organized labor. During the
strike We have financed all members
and expect to continue the same, as
the funds of the organization are In
healthy condition. The federation ap-
pointed the business agent Of the body
to carry on the strike.
Meeting Night Changed.
The organization will meet next
Tuesday night at Industrial hall, the
meeting having been set forward from
Thursday night because of the dancing
party which is to be held on that date
for the purpose of raising funds for
the entertainment of the delegates to
the Illinois Federation of Labor con-
vention here next month.
At Industrial hall Saturday night
federal labor union of tri-city laborers
will be organized. Preliminary steps
for the launching of the organization
will be taken and OFFICERS will probably
be elected This will be for the Ia
borers of the tri-cities who are not al
ready organized in unions. and is par
ticularly for those affiliated with the
building trades.

DREAM REUNITEs SISTERS

After separation of almost half
century two sisters have been reunited
in their old age by means of dream.
Dreaming that her sister, Mrs. Louisa
Corletto, whom she had not seen for
some fifty years, was living In Glouces-
ter, N. j., Mrs. Laura J. Collver of
Newark, n. j., sent letter to the post
master at Gloucester asking for infor.
nation. The return mail brought
the tidings that Mrs. Corletto lived
there, and soon the sisters met. There
was an affecting scene when Mrs.
Colver arrived at Gloucester. The sis.
ters had been separated since the
death Of their father in Baltimore, and
each believed that the other was dead.
Mrs. Collver said that she had the
dream a month previous to the happy
reunion. It impressed her SO much
that she wrote to the postmaster at
Gloucester. After handing her letter
over to Mrs. Corletto, the postmaster
sent a note to Mrs. Collver. By the
next post Mrs. Corletto sent letter
asking her sister to come at once. Both
sisters are more than sixty-five years
old They declared when they met
that it was the happiest day of their
lives.
