Fumes from bursted ammonia tank
made it necessary to shut down the
Young & McCombs department store
shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon and clear the building of every
one except those who were at work
to repair the damage. 1t was at 8
o'clock that the tank broke and at that
time the store was well filled with
customers. The first fumes caused
just a little smiling. In a few min
utes the eyes of those who remained
filled with tears and there was a hur-
ried rush for the exits. Some rushed
out, leaving their shopping incom-
plete. AS soon as the management of
the store realized what and where the
trouble was they informed the clerks
of the shutdown and sent them home.
LEAKAGE REPAIRED.
1t took only short time to repair
the leakage and to have the plant
working in good order again. The
building was opened wide and aired
as thoroughly as possible and was
ready for occupancy this morning.

The federated Rock Island arsenal

lengthy discussion OF the situation as
II now exists on the island decided to
shift the scene of their battle against
the Introduction of the dread Taylor
system OF shop management from this
city TO Washington. Their interna-
tional organizers instead of coming to
Rock Island will accordingly 90 to
Washington, where they will keep in
touch with the congressional commit
tee which is 70 report to congress
March 10 as to the merits OF the sys-
TEN and whether or not in their opin-
ion 1t should be introduced into gov
eminent arsenals.
TO DE CAMPAIGN ISSUE.
The men were firm last night in
their stand against the system and
said that II necessary they will make
the matter one of national issue in
the coming presidential campaign.
They say they look for a report from
the committee which will be favora-
bic TO their cause and when the report
comes up before congress for accept
ance or rejection, representatives OF
the men will be on hand to plead
their side. A record will be kept of
those who vote against the men and
II will be used against them when
they again become candidates. Also
the book published on the Taylor sys.
TEN will be republished by the men
and spread broadcast previous to the
national campaign. The men say that
the book itself as written by the
founder of the system is the strong
est argument against the system.
MORE CARDS GIVEN OUT.
The men at the arsenal have gained
the impression that Colonel Burr has
promised not TO introduce any more
cards until after March 10, and one
of them stated this morning that ar
effort would be made to hold him tC
this supposed promise. Colonel Burr
