from what the city should have do
mated. it is said.
1t will be the endeavor of the Of
fCials Of the Tri-City Women s
Trade Union league to make up
what was lacking in this former
drive by giving to the people of
Belgium thousands of pounds of
wearing apparel of every descrip-
tiCn.
In calling on the people person
ally. the league members feel as
suTed that a response to the APP
peals will be made.
Present plans are to cover the
entire city and then on Friday aft
ernoh Of next week from noon I'M
Ill as late an hour as necessary,
trucks will go over the city up and
down each street and avenue gath
ering the clothing which the Rock
Islanders will be asked to give.
Bundles are TO be placed on the
bouIevards in front of the homes.
Assistants will go with each truck.
Their duties will be to place each
bundle in the truck and return
them to the campaign headquarters,
which viii be in the Offices of the
Tri-City Federation of Labor in this
city.
The campaign in Rock Island is
the result of the efforts of Z. G.
AfcNeal of Des Moines, Iowa, who is
the director of the clothing cam
paign. After many unsuccessful
efforts to secure an organization
that would undertake to cary on a
campaign in Rock Island Mr.. Nc
Neal came in touch with represent
atiyes of the Tri-City Women's
Trade Union league. which is a
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-08-16

branch of the Tri-City Federation
of Labor The officials of that
league agreed to do their utmost to
give Rock Island a permanent rec
ord on the reports of the hundreds
of campaigns that have been and
are to be conducted in the United
States.
Issues Appeal.
In making a personal appeal to
the citizens of Rock Island. Mr.. Nc
Neal has issued the following:
The commission for relief in
Belgium desires your attention for
2 brief time.
This commission was organized
in 1914, to feed and clothe the peo-
pie of Belgium after the Germans
lad invaded that country. This
task we have performed to the best
Of our ability ever since. Every
month, since October, 1914, we have
spent over $1S,00000O in the sus-
tenance of that country.
The great problem that con-
fronts US today is how to clothe
these people. There is no cloth for
clothing for sale for export pur-
poses. Money will not buy it. 1t
is not on the market. There is but
one other thing that we can do, and
that is to ask the people of America
to contribute tEeir cast off, disable
clothing.
THE Women's Trade Union
league of the tri-cities has volun-
teered to make a collection for us,
and we most earnestly ask you to
cooperate with these ladies in ev-
cry way in your power.
Information as TO what is desired
will appear in the papers during
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-08-16
