STATISTICS SHOW
WAGE INCREASES

Washington, July 13.-Many of the
countries leading manufacturing in
dustries have made substantial in
creases in their wage scales within the
last year. An inquiry completed to-
day by the department of labor shows
the iron and steel Industries made the
biggest increases. Most steel plants
raised wages last May and for many
this was the second raise within a
year Total increase amounted to from
five to thirty per cent.
In the boot and shoe Industries in
creases were not general. Northern
cotton manufacturers generally in
creased the pay of their men. while
southern mills generally did not Silk
and wooden establishments made rails
es but hosiery manufacturing concerns
made few. There were no increases
in the ready made clothing industry
and none in cigar manufacturing.

CLUB IN SUPPORT
OF MERCER PLAN
Membership of Moline Organization
Votes To Work Along the Lines
Mapped Out by ChicagOan.
OPPOSITION Is ENCOUNTERED
Some of the Opinion That Present
Quarters Would BE Closed as
Result OF New Plan.

The civic development plan offered
by II. Van r. Chase, commercial or
ganization expert from Chicago, was
adopted by the membership OF the
Moline Commercial club at a meeting
last evening. and the club Will hence
forth work along the lines mapped out
by Mt Chase.
The vote was not unanimous. but
was overwhelming, as votes against
the proposition were extremely few in
number.
This plan includes the incorporation
within the Moline Commercial club Of
the Greater Moline committee, the Re
tail Merchants association, the Real
Estate exchange. Good Roads club and
u number OF other organizations of
similar kind. 1t also provides for
reorganization of the club, with a
change in membership fee from $24
year to S25. the plan of selling sew
eral memberships to persons who can
afford to carry more than one and a
possible change in the name of the
club
The matter Of name. however, is
one which will not be decided until
the membership list is filled. In the
meantime 1t Will remain as it has been
the Moline Commercial club. When the
membership roll is filled it may then
be voted TO change the name, but this
IS, of course, prOblematical.
The plan does not involve any
change whatever in conducting social
affairs of the club. The same quarters
viii be maintained. the same privi-
leges enjoyed. and the same sort of
entertainments will be provided, al
though eventually the plan provides
for more social activities than at pres
ent.
Because Of a misunderstanding the
opposition to the plan last evening.
while confined to a half-dozen mem
bers, was extremely warm.
Several had evidently entered the
meeting with the idea in their heads
that the plan was TO dissolve or dis
band or disrupt the Moline Commercial
club. and they failed to see light, al
though il was explained that the plan
does not contemplate any disoTganiza-
ton Of the club
Not Move to Disband.
The action taken last evening was
not a move to disband or abandon the
Moline Commercial club. II was sim
ply an endorsement of the Chase plan
and an invitation to the G. NJ. c, Retail
Merchants association and similar or
CARNATIONS TO get busy and come in.
Before the reorganization plan is
completed, changes will probably be
made in the bylaws and the entire mat
ter worked out along the proper lines
10 its logical cOnclusiin. This does
not mean that the doors of the Moline
Commercial club Will be closed for
one minute, nor does il mean that any
privileges now enjoyed by its mem
bers Will be abbreviated or discOntin-
ued, nor does it mean that when the
plan is completed social activities will
cease to be a feature Of the clubs life.
