of gravity and the stage OF water
in the slough is always higher than
that in the rapids. There is a pos
sibility that the outflow from the
main channel intake is caused by a
hole in the pipe and does not come
from the raw water basin. Unsuc-
cessful attempt at q test was made
yesterday, the intention being for
two men to go to the wing dam, as
certain that the water still dubbed
above the intake, then signal back
to the waterworks, have the slough
intake closed, and then watch the re-
suits. There was some misunder-
standing, however, with result that
the test was not a success. Another
test will be made.

MOLINE

Hatchery Bill Passes Senate. - The
senate at Springfield Tuesday voted
in favor of an appropriation of $12,-
600 to be used for the purpose of
establishing a fish hatchery on Rock
river In either Rock Island or Henry
county. The senate also favors a
fish hatchery for Lake county at a
cost Of SIS 1000. Senator Landee of
Moline, father Of the Rock river
fish hatchery bill, said Saturday that
he expected to have the bill called
up Tuesday in the senate. Judging
from the report mentioned above the
senator's efforts were fruitful. THE
next step" Senator Landee said
Saturday ''is to get the bill out of
the committee and before the house
OF representatives. 1 think 1 will be
successful in this
Half Holiday Opposed. - Whether
this community is to evolve into the
metropolitan custom of observing
Saturday afternoons during the sum-
mer time as a half holiday is the
question now being agitated by la
Dor unions and bosses. The agita-
ton started May l, when new regu-
lations of the brickmasons' union,
providing for Saturday half holiday
became effective. There was consid-
cradle complaint on the part of mas
ter builders, who claim that all
trades, or no trades, should labor
on Saturday afternoon as on any
other weekday afternoon. Tri-city
master builders and contractors held
their regular meeting Tuesday and
the half holiday idea was informally
discussed. While the contractors
could take no action regarding the
policy adopted by the bricklayers'
union, the sentiment was that an
eight hour day is a short work day
at best, and that it should therefore
prevail six days in the week. The
brickmasons should withdraw their
new rule, according to the con-
tractors, who say the Saturday after
noon of other trades is interfered
with when members of even one Jim
portant craft are not on the job.
Even the majority of the union men
does not seem to think Saturday af-
ternoon off is good policy. Claim is
Jndt the DrlchmdSO0S ulu not give
the matter sufficient thought before
casting their vote, else the decision
would have been for six eight hour
work days every week.
Channel Intake Proving OutIet.-Dis-
covery that the pipe leading from
the main channel of the Mississippi
river is serving as an outlet, instead
OF an intake, was made by Commits
sioner Jahns and Waterworks Sup
erintendent Magnus Olson. They
went to the government dixie be-
tween Moline harbor and the rapids
and found a disturbance of the water !
above the location of the mouth of |
the intake, the effect being indicat- |
i've of an outf1owing. rather than an |
Inflowing. At such times as the pres
ent when warm weather causes a /
great demand for city water, both |
intakes are opened in order that the I
stage in the raw water basin at the
may be as high as pos
sible The theory of the officials who
made the discovery was that in ali
the water that flowed
nto the basin through the slough in
AXE was going out through the main
channel intake, due to the fact that
he whole process is now a matter

Organizer Smith Finds Workers
 Dissatisfied


 James H. Smith. formerly president of the Bridgeport Central Labor Un- ion and vice-president of the Connec- ticut Federation, is a visitor in Bridge port until early next week. He is en- gagged in organizing for the American Federation in the Metal Trades de. partment. His duties take him over a wide area of country and bring him into touch with many industries. MT. Smith said, this morning, that there is much unrest among the workers and that industry is slack and many men unemployed He believes that condi- tions will materialize in the next elec- tion in the movement of many voters away from accustomed anchorage In every city it has been reported to him that postal employees are much dissat- isfied with their treatment by Post master General Hitchcock. MT. Smith says that the attitude of Secretary Won Meyer toward the navy yards of the country is also alienating many government employees.
