Whereas. We have learned that
The United States government is
contemplating in the near future
closing the entire harness depart
ment on the Rock Island arsenal,
and abolishing the same at this
post, which would also affect the
carpenter and equipment shops and
the foundry, and
Whereas, such action on the part
Of the government will deprive al
most two thousand citizens and tax
payers of the tri-cities Of their
means of livelihood. many of whom
have located here at considerable
loss 10 themselves to avail them
selves OF government employment,
but the vast majority or whom have
been citizens of this community for
years.
Be it resolved, That we do most
earnestly protest against this pro-
posed action on the part of the
government in removing from this
their best located and equipped
plant any Of the departments now
located here. and that we call upon
all our citizens to exert their ut
most efforts to avert this action !;
and that copy OF this resolution
be sent to the secretary of war, and
10 our senator's and members of
congress, urging immediate and
earnest effort on their part in this
connection to avert This hardship to
their working men and prevent this
loss to our community
Said resolution was carried by
unanimous vote.
