THE opening of this waterway Will
be Of incaleulable value to the state Of
Illinois and to all the state bordering
9pon the Mississippi river II will be
OF particular value to the people Of
Davenport, Rock Island and Moline.
The Hennepin canal from the Miss
issippi to the Illinois river has been
practically unused because Of the fact
that it ends in the Illinois river just
a few miles south OF Utica and that
from the east there is no opening
that would enable boats from the
Mississippi river to enter Chicago and
tap the commerce of the great lakes.
Once this waterway is open river COM
.meree between Chicago and New Or
leans will develop enormously and
commerce from the Missippi river

nois waterways to the great lakes viii

ORATORS ENTHUSE OVER
ADVANTAGES OF RIVER
Confined from Page Fifteen.J

CONTINUED from Page Fifteen)
That the state of Illinois should be
encouraged to build waterway be-
tween those points of such a depth
and that the federal government
should dredge the Illinois river from
its present depth Of seven feet between
Utica and the Mississippi river to
further depth of eight feet
In view of this report and these
recommendations by these eminent
engineers Of the federal government,
I reached the conclusion, as governor
Of the state of Illinois, that the time
bad come when the state of Illinois
should do something practical in the
way Of an eight foot channel from Chi
cago to New Orleans by the construc-
ton OF waterway of this depth be
tween Lockport and Utica. I called
several engineers together and with
them made a physical examination of
the old Illinois and Michigan canal be-
tween Eockport and Utica and the
route Of the proposed waterway in the
Illinois and Des PLANES rivers.
7 suggested to these engineers. in
view of the fact that there was but
eight feet Of water in the Mississippi
river and it would be wise for the
state to Immediately develop a water
way OF the same depth over this 65
miles between Lockport and Utica in
such way so as not to prevent
greater depth from being obtained in
the event that greater depth may
hereafter be obtained in the Mississ-
ippi river. These engineers reported
to me in writing within short time
that if dam were erected at Starved
Rock. near Utica, where the state Of
illinois maintains a publicly owned
park. that such a depth could be OBJ
tanned in waterway between Lock-
port and Utica within two years after
the commencement Of the work.
As Business Proposition.
Il submitted this report to our last
legislature with the recommendation
that waterway Of such a depth be
constructed Immediately. and the leg
islature, though differing from me in
my political views. was patriotic
enough TO treat the matter as a pure
business proposition and by an over
whelming vote passed law authoriz-
ing the construction Of such water
way between these points, at cost

suance of bonds, Application was

war for the granting of a permit to do

plans and profles Of the scheme IS

engineers under the direction OF the

Washington, April s9.-General Car

consent.

Little Discussion
No one was inclined to discuss the
letter. Officials said the truth about
the boats condition at the time she
started on her last cruise probably
would not be known until she was
raised and examined.
Il have asked Admiral Moore COM
mandant of the naval station at Hon.

said Secretary Daniels. "Of course this
cannot be made until the vessel has
been raised to the surface. Our reports
up to March 1 show that the F-4 was

any report concerning her condition

to unionism and predicts nothing but
trouble for organizations which try TO
compel powerful corporations to grant
the men their rights.
Macomb City Riots
Hugh Montgomery of Macomb City
told of the riots there when the ILL
nois Central brought in strike breakers
to take the places of union shopmen.
I'VE were enjoined from interfering
with railroad property related the
witness, and when teiegrams came
that a trainload of strike breakers was
on the way, assaulting inoffensive cit
liens and insulting women by the way,
everybody in Macomb was anxious to
see them. l went along as one Of the
oldest citizens to remind the boys
against violating the injunction, for
once they got into federal court at
Jackson we were helpless. When the
train arrived the windows of the cars
were suddenly thrown open and we
were pelted with stones and few
shots were fired" Mr.. Montgomery said
that the stay of the strike breakers
was a long nightmare characterized
by much violence.
Strikers were always being arrest
ed and taken to Jackson, where the
charges were usually dismissed or fines
RENTED. The purpose of the arrests
was merely to make it as expensive as
possible for u.s. The witness said his
wages in the 30 years that he was en-
ployed in the Macomb shops started at
171s cents an hour and rose to 22A
cents. He described the houses of the
strikers as boxes" He had paid for
his before the strike. but others who
were paying for theirs, lost them. he
said.

lives,' instructed Frank P. Walsh,

is lots of that in Mississippi. yams
