NOLINE'S SECTION OF THE ARGUS

Of the labor officials have progressed
is still a matter for conjecture, as is
the question of how far they intend to
go, but that the manufacturers are
we'll prepared TO resist is generally be-
lieved by the general public.
Considerable Uneasiness.
In the meantime there is considerable
uneasiness throughout the tri-cities,
and among the general public OF Mo-
line in particular, Recently times
have been good here and business in all
lines has been expanding in manner
that has indicated Moline is on the
verge of a period of great prosperity
which would be equivalent to a boom,
except that it would be permanent in
its effects.
For this reason the general public is
inclined to be aghast at the prospects
of trouble between the employers and
employees. with the possibility OF sew
eral strikes. if not general strike,
and the blow that such an event would
be to returning prosperity.
If difficulties do arise it is expected
that they will come to a head some
time next week Manufacturers are
reported to be taking every precaution
and it is understood that two repre-
sentatives of the Moline manufacturers
I'called at the sheriff's Office today, pre-
sumably with the idea of learning what
protection could be secured for prop
erty in event of trouble.
1t was also reported that a part of
the machinery in the Williams, White
& Co. plant is being moved to Deere
& Mansur plant. AS the steam was re-
ported to be off at the Williams, White
& Co. concern today, this is taken to
mean that the concern where the
strike is on has sub-let all rush orders
and will close down, possibly for
months.
