POLICE ARRESTED
A VOLUNTEER COP
Man From Southern End of the
County Tries to Act as
Traffic officer.

After donating his services to the
city police department this morning
as traffic officer at the corner of Sew
enteenth street and Second avenue,
Carl Yonke, who resides in the south
ern portion of Rock Island county
was rewarded for his aid by being
picked up and incarcerated in the city
bastile.
Coming to this city, earlier in the
day to see the big parade Yonke made
a circuit of several of the big stores"
about the business section of the city,
and as he passed the corner of Sec
ond avenue and Eighteenth street,
noticed Traffic officer William Fitz-
simmons standing on the corner reg
ulating traffic.
Travelling further down the ave,
nue. he saw no officer at Market
square, and believing the crowd quite
large enough that the services of an
officer were required at the corner,
stepped out into the middle of the
avenue and reigned king of the traffic
for several moments.
He protested loudly when Officer
Gruby placed him under arrest. He
said he hated to leave his post of
duty. He will be given hearing to-
morrow.

of the transportation companies at the
present time is due to the demands of
railroad employees for higher rates of
pay. A few moments examination of
the facts, however. soon shows how I'M
warranted these statements are.
IAN analysis of the operating per
Torrance of the carriers at once dis
closes the fact that the railroads by
using larger engines, heavier equip
ment and by adding to train loads have
developed a remarkable increase of eff
ficiency of employees, and while adding
to the labor of the wage-earners have
reduced to striking degree the labor
cost of conducting transportation
Examination of the annual reports
of fifty-three western railroads to the
Interstate commerce commission shows
that for 1000 traffic units handled in
1890 the cost of engineers and firemen
was Sc cents as contrasted with only
SO cents in 1913. In other words, these
representative western roads were en-
abled to transport l 1000 passenger and
ton miles 81 cents cheaper last year
than in 1890. or. to reduce their en-
gineer and fireman cost of handling
traffic g per cent. in the light of these
facts. the sham of the claim of the rail-
roads that increased operating costs
have been due to added OUTLAWS for en-
gineers and firemen is apparent"
