need to raise the price of milk to the

consumers.
The milk drivers figure now that if
the dealers can make this increase to
the carrier they can afford to do it to
the driver and the demandHhas been
put up to the dealers.
In addition to this demand for the
81 a week increase in wages, the
wagon drivers insist that the prac-
tice of the big firms of hiring boosters
to knock competitors and boost one
company against another must stop.
1t has resulted in a great deal of
trouble to the drivers in the way it
has worked out. Borden, for in
stance, would hire a booster to go out
and get trade for Borden and the
booster would do it by knocking Bow
man. When the Bowman driver got
around the next morning the house
wife would Indignantly accuse him of
not giving her good milk, service, etc.,
and he would have to take the abuse.
Bowman, in turn, would hire a boost
er to boost Bowman and he would
knock Borden and the drivers have
no way to curb the evil because the
boosters aren't affiliated with any
union.
Even if the milk dealers decide to
give up the raise of 81 a week in
wages we will call strike unless the
companies discontinue the practice
of employing these boosters" Sum-
neT said.
There will be a meeting of the
milk dealers at 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon and a conference between
their representatives and representa-
tives of our union at 4 o'clock. If
our demands are not granted at that
time we will call a strike effective
Saturday morning.
I'VE want the public to get our side
of the matter. We want them to
know we have held off making this
demand for what we considered we
were entitled to, SO a day, because

POLICY FOR CITY
Rock Island Commission in Secret
Session Considers Problems OF
Regulating Liquor Trade.

Initial meeting of the Rock Island
municipal commission to outline it's
policy with relation to saloons md
wholesale liquor houses, following the
local option fight, was held today. The
commission was in session behind
closed doors for three hours.
1t is known that the commission de-
termined to raise the license of whole
sale liquor dealers in Rock Island.
1t is said increased licenses for sa-
looms, possibly earlier closing, and
other regulations discussed several
months ago, were taken up at the
meeting.
! Commissioners refused to be inter-
viewed on what was discussed at the
session Announcement was made by
Commissioner Rudgren that publicity
would kill the plans of the commits
sion, that it intended to work quietly
and that whatever decisions it would
make would be in private session,
and later come to public knowledge
when vote on ordinances dealing with
the regulations is brought out in open
council meeting.
There are at present 80 wholesale
| liquor houses in Rock Island Moline
going dry in another few weeks means
| the number will be increased. Rock
Island being a convenient location as
center of distribution to Moline and
Davenport.
Last fall an ordinance regulating
wholesale liquor houses was passed 1t
was drawn up at the suggestion of
Mayor MCConochie, who first planned
to fix fee of 5000 per year Later this
was reduced to s10O after appeals
came from the wholesalers. They pc
titioned the council again for a reduc-
ton before the ordinance passed, sug-
costing a license fee of $50 per year.
! The commission reconsidered the or
dinance and made the license $50.
Expect More Here.
Influx of wholesale liquor dealers to
Rock Island started several months
before Jan. /, WHeH iowa went uTy.
After the new year the number in
creased considerably. With Moline
joining the dry column additional
wholesale houses are expected to seek
licenses to onerate here and the COM
mission DIES IS to increase the license
so as to be able to more effectively
regulate them. Increased business
that the wholesale houses will enjoy,
also is reason partly for the commits
sion raising the license.
What fee will be fixed could not be
learned today. Whether the council
plans to place the sum at 5000, as the
former ordinance first had it, 500 as
it subsequently made it, or some other
/ figure. none of the commissioners
/ would say.
| When the commission several
months ago modified the cafe licenses
it at first planned to incorporate in
the amendments certain changes in

Rock Island Police Arrest Victim OF
an Automobile Accident Who
Says He Was Paid $50.
ESCORTED FROM THE HOSPITAL
Declares He Signed Paper Without

Four weeks ago George Harding
was struck by an automobile in Rock

local attorney, where he was paid $50
and signed a paper releasing the
owner of the automobile from liabil-
ity as far as he is concerned, police
said today.

clared, when he was approached by
a man who Harding said bought him
several drinks and then took him to
an attorneys office. He .aid he sign
ed a paper and was given the money.
He declared to police that he did not
know what he had signed.
| Late last night Patrolman Berry ar
