the vicinity who handle union brick
and city authorities and business men
will be advised to patronize them in
selection of paving material. The
bakers and grocers are being lined up
in an effort to rid the market of all
bread but that which bears the union
label. AS soon as the campaign prog
resses union men will patronize only
those dealers who sell union made
bread.
CITY MARKETS AGAIN.
City markets came in for their fair
share of discussion. 1t was the con-
census OF opinion that the Moline
council is the only one that is making
advance toward the establishment Of
the market. The election in Musca-
tine was discussed and the advance
of the workingmen forces in votes
polled was cited as an advance toward
victory for that party. The federation
is confident that greater inroads will
be made on opposing parties in the
fall election.
Organization of grocery clerks was
deferred till next week because of the
press Of other business. There is a
movement on foot to organize the
shoe repair men Of the tri-cities and
a meeting is to be held within fort
night for that purpose.

FEDERATION FOR
EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Organization Of Laboring Men
Adopts Resolution Favorable
to the Berger Bill.
VOTE ALMOST UNANIMOUS
Belief Is That Women Should Have
the Ballot-Win Fight Dav-
exports New Stadium.

Woman suffrage principles received
q boost last night by the Tri-City Fed
GRAFTON of Labor In its meet.
On motion Of one OF the dele
gates, the following resolution was
adopted, almost without a dissenting
voice:
Whereas, Congressman Victor L.
Berger Of Wisconsin has presented
bill In the house of representatives for
the suffrage Of women on same terms
as men;
Therefore. be 1t resolved, That the
Tri-City Federation of Labor heartily
endorse the bill and urges that It be
enacted into law at the present SEES
sion Of congress-"
ONE DISSENTING VOICE.
When the resolution had been read
there was a subdued murmur Of ap-
proval. And whilst the murmur was
soaring into applause one big
fellow rose to his feet and fl
ed objection to It Like thous-
ands Of others who have objected
TO the movement, his reason was that
the voman's place is In the home, now,
and at all times. No sooner had he
expressed his sentiment than dozens
of other delegates were clamoring for
recognition from the chair to get a
crack at the stand taken. And they
did II with a vengeance. Before a
vote was taken, the one lonely sup
porter of mans rights and woman's
place in life was subdued into sub
mission and oblivion.
WILL FIGHT STADIUM.
Declaring that the proposed stadium
to be erected in Davenport should the
people vote the necessary bond issue
at a special election March 12, is for
the benefit OF the richer people and
not for the masses, the Tri-City Fed
Grafton Of Labor last night went or
record against the proposition. Not
only did they go on record against 1t
but further, they made plans for the
fighting Of the proposition on election
day. They will devote a special ISSUE
OF the federation paper to an expose
of the proposition from the labol
mans standpoint. 1t is the belief o
the federation that scarcely any bene
At can accrue to the masses through

PLANNING A BIG
SEASON ON RIVER
Directors and Officers of Island
City Boating Association
Get Busy.
HOLD INFORMAL SESSION
Nine Applications for Position as
Keeper at Club House Are
Examined.

That the Island City Boating as
ISOLATION is to have one of it's biggest
and best seasons during the coming
summer is the statement of officers
who have already begun plans for
the open river season. Last night at
an informal meeting of the board of
directors, applications were received
from nine men seeking the position
of keeper. After a cursory inventory
OF the value of each man, the choice
simmered down till only three of the
candidates remain in the race. One
will be chosen within the week for
the position. The question of caring
for the booms, left out in front Of
the boat house last fall and subject
20 the mercy of the elements, came
up but was laid over till tomorrow
night when the regular monthly
meeting IS 10 &c held. That Will be
one of the chief matters for consid-
Grafton because the officers seek 10
save the booms from being carried
away by the ice.
HAVE RACE COMMITTEE.
To back the statement that this is
to be a successful year, the officers
have appointed race committee
whose duty it shall be to plan for
nothing but races. Heretofore, the
Labor day regatta has been the only
real big event of the year. 1t is up
to this committee to plan other
events which shall attract the pub
lies attention to an important and
popular sport. Ginger has been in.
jected into the club and it is tC
branch forth into live wire organ
:Zation. Not that it has been dead
il past years, but that there is room
for improvement. The club members
hope to make the river sports one o.
the biggest things in Rock Island
during the coming year.

MAILS HEAVIEST
IN HISTORY HERE
Political and Industrial Adver-
Using Is Partly Re-
sponsible.
MANY W0ODMEN LETTERS
Recent Rate Change Makes Core
spondence to Head Office Large
Wants Exams Postponed.

The volume of mail being handled
and the amount of business being
transacted at the local postoffice at
the present time is the largest in his
tory, according to Postmaster H. A.
j, Mcdonald, who stated this morn
ing that the rush was unprecedented
and even surpassed that Of any holt
day season. Two extra men have
been added to the force in an effort
to cope with present conditions and
the men at the postoffice are work
ing both day and night. Sunday, the
forces were on duty throughout the
entire day, thing which occurs but
rarely even during the holidays and
there is every reason to believe that
the increased volume of business
will continue for at least week.
TO POSTPONE EXAMINATION.
Announcement has been received
by Mr.. Mcdonald of the fact that
Chief Clerk L. c. Richards will be
in Rock Island tomorrow to make
preparations for the semi-annual ex-
animation of the mailing clerks. This
test is given with a view to deter
mining the proficiency of the various
employees in the postofflce and in Or
der to maintain the highest STAN
dard of service. Mr.. Richards states
in his communication that he will
meet the mailing clerks assigned to
the Iowa A or B examinations at the
/ Harper On March s any time after
tS o'clock, and those assigned to Il
| linois A or B on the 18th after !
o'clock.
Because of the rush now on at the
postoffice, an effort is to be made by
Postmaster Mcdonald to have this
examination postponed, as the alb
sence of the clerks at this particular
time win prove a serious handicaI
to the service. Whether or not this
concession will be granted is a mat
ter of conjecture.
FACTORIES ARE ADVERTISING.
There are a number of reasons fol
the present state of affairs at the
postoffice. The large implement fac
tories are now sending out their ad
vertising matter preparatory to the
spring rush and are this year making
a very extensive campaign. TIL,
change in rates at the Modern Wood
men has increased their correspond
ence to a very great extent, many
letters being sent out to the var
ious members of the order, explain
ing the new move. There is also al
enormous amount of political adver

through the mails, as forerunne
