Wire Rope Makers Strike.

Four hundred employees of the new
rope department of the John A. Roeb-
ling's Sons Company struck. The de-
mand 3 cents an hour increase, and
declare that the present cost of living
makes it impossible for them to get
along on the wage scale now allowed.
The company, wishing to prevent the
strike, offered the employees 21a cents
an hour more, but this offer was re-
fused. This strike may spread to the
5000 other employees of the Roeblings.
Although the workers are not organ
lied, the company refusing to recog-
nize unions, labor leaders are advocat-
ing organization, and the strike may
result in a tie-up of the gigantic plant
here.

The proposition of the A~nti-Saloon

not likely to prove acceptable to the

Denied Bond Issue.

Denied Bond Issue.
The State Public Utility Commits
sion denied approval for an issue OF
$4,000 bonds for the Clayton-Glass-
boro Water Company. The refusal
was based partly on the admission OF
the company that the bonds had been
inadvertently issued without permits
sion of the board. In previous cases
the bonds have been ratified because
the board found that the issues were
proper, put in this case the toard has
found that the company had used
bonds for operating expenses instead

Electrical Workers Who Claimed
They Were Locked Out Some
Time Ago Go Back to
Work.

Stone and Webster Engineering Cor
poration VIII Rush Work and
Pay Very High
Wages.

With the coming OF spring the
Stone & Webster Engineering corpor-
alton. has increased its force Of line
men building the transmission lines
and will rush the work to completion.
The remaining work is chiefly be-
tween Burlington and this city.
Wishing to complete the work as
quickly as possible the company has
pu. on large force of men and has
put the wages at high figure. The
new scale of wages affects all linemen
and groundmen employed by the
Stone & Webster Engineering corpor-
alton in this section.
The linemen on the transmission
line will receive forty-two cents a
day for a ten hour day but 1t is I'm.
derstood that the linemen in the city
of Keokuk will work nine hours a
day at the same rate per hour. The
groundmen will receive twenty-seyen
cents an hour for a ten hour day.
The return to work of the linemen
settles all the trouble caused last win
ter when the union linemen claimed
that the company had locked union
men out when they asked for differ
ent conditions and wages. The COM
pany at that time stated that the men
were let out because the work was
discontinued and that no discrimina-
tion was made.
The wages to be paid the linemen
are a little higher than asked for in
the regular union scale some time
ago and are paid by the company with
view of increasing the efficiency
and incentive Of the men TO help fin
ish the work quickly. Both union and
non-union men will be employed 1t is
understood.
