". P. Differences
Will BE ADJUSTED

For some time. past employees Of the
Western Pacific, especially those in the
operating department, have been dis
satisfied with the amount Of pay they
are receiving. Demands were made
for an increase, which was refused. Ac-
cordingly the trainmen established
headquarters at the Argonaut hotel,
San Francisco, and proceeded to take
a poll on the question of a strike.
When the vote was counted Sunday,
it is stated that 80 per cent of the
ballots fovored the strike unless the
demands for an increase in pay were
acceded to.
A conference with the officials Of
the Western Pacific has been arranged,
at which the employees of the Eastern
division will be represented by the
following committee:
j. p. Walsh, for the B. Of l.. E., n.
w. Gibson, for the o. r. c., George
Gingery, for the B Of R. T. and J. O.
Brown, for the B. of L. F.
While the Western Pacific has not
been paying the wages Of competing
lines, this fact was no doubt due to it's
being new line and the tremendous
expense it has been put to during the
past year in repairing damages to its
roadbed due to snow and landslides.
The employees have been very patient,
evidencing desire to help matters out
by waiting for a raise until such time
as the road was in shape to handle
business. With an earnest desire on
both sides for adjustment, it is
thought that the differences will be
amicably settled at the conference this
week.
However, in any event it is not con-
sidered probable that a strike will re-
suit. 1t is believed that the Interstate
Commerce Commission has been asked
by the road to intervene, and it is stat
ed that Labor Commissioner O'Neill
is now on his way from Washington to
San Francisco for the purpose Of max
ing an investigation. His report win
be made direct to the commission,
which will then adjust the differences.
Free Delivery for Globe Express.
J. X. Allen, general superintendent,
and Frank Lounsbury, route agent for
the Globe Express company, were in
town yesterday, arranging for a free
delivery for the Globe express. Ar
rangements were made with AL Leach
to handle the. business, beginning
with May l. During the day the ON.
cials were escorted about town by

LARGEST CARPET
SHIPMENT KNOWN

A special of 60 cars loaded with car
pets passed through Winnemucca yes
terday, via the Southern Pacific, des-
tined for San Francisco. This is the
largest shipment of carpets westward
in the world s history, comprising q
value of 100000. 1t is being handled
as a special all the way and is max
ing fast run.
John A. Gill, travelling agent for
the Hartman lines, who was in town
when the train passed, stated that
from mathematical standpoint 1t
would require the services Of 1900 EN-.
ployes, working eight hours day for
eight days to run this shipment
through the looms, cover each bale
and load into ears. If stretched out in
single width, the carpet would cover
the Southern Pacific track from VIII

Is in Rock Island for Purpose

Among the arrivals yesterday at
the Rock Island house were Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Manwaring. Jock" Man
waring will be recalled as one of the
kings of "Bucktown" in the days be-
fore the lid was clamped down in
Davenport. Jock conducted a sa-
loon and dancing hall. He made
money fast, and at one time was re-
puted to be wealthy. But reverses
came, and when Jock" left Daven-
port a few years ago he was down
and out. He had been working at
odd jobs, taking any kind of employ
ment he could obtain.
Just tell them that Jock has come

MEETINGS CONTINUE
AT M. E. CHURCH
Rev. T. f.. Newland breaches Two
Strong Sermons to Large
Audiences Yesterday.

The meetings at the First Metho-
dist church are increasing in interest
and power An exceptionally large au-
dience attended the morning service
yesterday. and despite the storm the
evening attendance was much above
the average. The morning sermon
dealt with The Grieving Christ" and
was based upon the failure of Jerusa-
lem to respond to the claims which He
made upon the city. In the evening
The Kings Message and His Mes
sengers" was the sermon subject.
From Isaiah's prophecy, He hath sent
me TO proclaim liberty to the captives,' -
the speaker said. This is a land of
sovereigns yet many kings and queens
are crownless and fettered-the purple
blood of royalty runs through Their
veins; yet they are serfs and slaves,
Liberty is a priceless blessing. 1t is
worth more than life or love. The lib
erty which Jesus Christ gives means
exemption from the dominion Of the
devil freedom from sin, adoption into
the family of God, and the guidance of
the Holy Spirit. 1t is a proclamation
to those who have lost self-control, to
those who have lost citizenship, for the
soul can be as a foreigner in a strange
land. an exile from the kingdom of
God. But it's our responsibility with
the prophets 10 proclaim liberty to all
who accept the provisions that Christ
has made. We are the ambassadors of
Christ-every life is blessed of God in
order that it may be a blessing to 9TH
ers."
The Introductory song service each
evening is meeting with a fine re
Spouse. and is a very attractive feat
ure of the meeting.
