BARRIERS ADJOURN
1914 CONVENTION
Choose Peoria as Meeting Place
for Next Year in Gathering
of Short Duration.

! After again choosing Peoria as a
meeting place. and lending its infiu.
ence to stricter license and Sunday
closing laws, the Illinois Journeymen
BARRIERS association closed its fifth an
nual convention with a banquet and
smoker at the Smith hotel in Peoria
1t was the shortest convention in the
history of the BARRIERS, converting less
than eight hours.
John L. Helm of Chicago was re-
elected president at the afternoon ses-
sion. Other officers chosen are:
Thomas Kelly of Streator, T. B. Devils
of Decatur, and c. G. Linsig of Mo-
line, vice presidents. and William
Jampel of Belleville, reelected secre-
tary-treasurer.
The state board of barber examiners
was in attendance at the convention.
The board consists of James A. Hern
of Chicago, president; Thomas ]. Not
ter of Chicago. secretary, and Thomas
Casey OF Rock Island. treasurer.
The advanced stand taken on the
Sunday closing question will be felt
when bill providing for this is intro
duced at the next session of the leg
islature. Such a law was passed in
1896 but was subsequently declared
unconstitutional. Under present con-
ditions BARRIERS are forced to work
seventeen hours on Saturday. return
ing TO the shop early Sunday morning
for four-hour grind. The Peoria To-
cal union has already endorsed a Sun
day closing law.

Prescott Called
to England

Six months ago Jack Prescott left
his native heath IN England 10 fnvesti-
gate opportunities in America. He
came ives: to Rock Island, secured a
job at the Driffll Prfnting company's
plant on Eighteenth street. liked the
work and his employers. and decided
to remain. He took work as a print
er's apprentice. When he had gotten
a sufficient bank account II was his
plan to send for his wife, whom he
left behind in England.
Today Prescott received transporta-
ton from the English war department
and on Sept. "a he sails from New
York on the Lusitania to join the navy
of his native country. Prescott is an
English naval reservist. He is an en-
gineer. He has served two years and
has two more years TO serve to insure
him a pension of so cents a day for
the remainder of his life.
While not lacking in loyalty to his
colors. nevertheless Prescott, who is
likeable chap and has made many
friends since coming to Rock Island,
IS broken up over the wrecking of his
plans.
It's pretty tough. boys" Prescott
said to his associates in the print
shop. "In a few months would have
been able to send for my wife. And
how happy we would have been here
in this great land of freedom and op-
portunity. But I am still in call of
my native country. and I'm going to
be game. OF course could refuse to
go back. but then / would be a desert
er. and could never return to my old
home without paying the penalty.
When the war is over. and IL the Lord
spares me, I'll return to Rock Island"
