WEEKLY PROVISION

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Sweeping meas

to a virtual halt. Compared with a
week ago corn this morning was NC

Extreme low temperatures prevail

Absence of any business with the

responsible for declines in the oats

MONDAY IS NOT GOING TO BE SO BLUE
AFTER ALL FOR THE THEATRES ARE TO
BE OPEN UNDER NEW RULING PROVIDED

It's not going to be blue Monday in
Rock island.
Although it looked at first as though
the loop would resemble a forsaken
portion of the Sahara desert on Mon
day when amusement houses were to
suspend operation under the closing
orders of the federal fuel admins
tration, it was today decided to give
the theatres the privilege Of keeping
open on Mondays, closing Tuesdays
each week. This order applies to pool
halls, bowling alleys and other amuse-
ment places.
Thus the Rock Island public will
not be compelled to remain at the
fireside while inactive as a result of
the business suspension order on Mon
day. With all amusement houses
closed, and business in general ssu-
pended, the fireside would have prov
ed the only attractive place for local
folk, but theatre owners in states cast
Of the Mississippi river. the district
affected under the federal fuel admin
istration's orders, made requests to
Fuel Controller H. A. Garfield in
Washington, asking that the theatres
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-01-19

be permitted to stay open on Monday.
This request was granted.
The theatre owners pointed out the
necessity OF providing the public with
amusement during the period of en-
forced idleness, contending that the
comfort of the people on this day de-
manded that they have the opportunity
Of visiting the show houses. 1t was
declared by the theatre owners that
by suspending business on some other
day Of the week that the same amount
of coal would be saved as on Monday
and that the people would find the
orders Of the fuel administration
would be felt less severely than if the
theatres we're shut down on Monday.
When they are shut down the peo-
pie of Rock Island will be given a
taste of the conditions of 10 years
back Since the advent of the movies
the local houses have been in con-
final operation daily, running shows
both in the afternoons and evenings.
However, the closing of the theatres
will not be felt as severely in Rock
Island as in cities in other states east
of the Mississippi, inasrnuch as the
local movie fans can go to Davenport
on the day the local houses are closed.

The $500 Rock Island men who are
employed in factories in Rock Island,
Moline and East Moline will not be
compensated during the five-day Pc
Rod that the factories are closed
down. per the instructions Of Federal
Fuel Administrator H. A. Garfield.
In an interview on the Rock Island
situation, F. W. Bender, secretary Of
the Chamber of Commerce, made the
following statement:
I'm an effort to ascertain whether
or not the factories Of Rock Island
are going to pay the salaries Of EN-
ployes during the five-day period, this
Office has endeavored to get in touch
with a number of the manufacturers
and so far as we have been able to
ascertain the majority of the factories
of Rock Island will not carry their
employees on their pay rolls during
their enforced layoff. 1t has been ex-
is partly due to the fact that many
OF the men who are employed in the
city's various industrial and business
institutions are unaffected by Fuel
Controller Garfield's proclamation, and
it is believed that should those that
are compelled to close down keep their
men on the payrolls, those who are
working will feel that they have been
Disseminated against in that il they
had been working in the factories that
were closed they would be having a
vacation and at the same time be paid
for 1t.
Factory men call the attention Of
the Rock Island public to the all i'm
portant fact that Rock Island fac
tories cannot be placed upon the same
basis as the factories of cities who
have been profiting by the manufac-
ture of munitions. and war supplies.
1t is stated that none Of the local fac
tories has been beneficiaries in the
prosperity and profits coming from
war orders and that the question of
saddling the financial burden of re-
imbursing employees for the five-day
layoff is unjust and unfair. It is

YEARS COAL OUTPUT
SHOWS BIG INCREASE

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. REPRODUCTION
of coal in Illinois. increased 15,309, 1897
tons during the year ending June 30,
1917, as compared with the preceding
year, according to the annual report
of Evan John. state director of the
department of mines and minerals,
submitted to Governor Lowden last
night.
In the year ending June 30, 1917, a
total output of 7s,9S3.527 tons was re-
corded from. $40 mines employing
S0,S93 men.
The large increase in production ap-
parently was due to speeding up" in
as much as the year 1917 marked an
increase Of only seven mines and 1874
men as compared with 1915.
Within the year ending June 80,
1917, a total Of 207 lives were lost in
the mining industry, 1873 in the mines,
the report shows. Injuries which
caused the victim to lose 80 days or
more from work totaled 1884 Of which
50 per cent were said to be due to fall

ROCK ISLAND FACTORY CHIEFS ARE NOT
TO COMPENSATE EMLOYES DURING FIVE
DAYS LOCAL PLANTS SUSPEND BUSINESS

pointed out that our local factories
have been heavy investors for Liberty
bonds in behalf Of their employees,
nearly all of which are carrying their
employees on bonds, and that in many
cases the employees have not fulfilled
their obligation with the result that
the factory has been burdened with
the expense OF taking over the bonds
and that this has, in a large measure.
eaten into their liquid finances. Also
attention is called to the fact that
next month the burden for financing
the local Liberty loan will fall heav-
lily upon the factory employers, bust
ness men and banks, as few OF the
employees are paid out on the bonds
they previously purchased.
"One has only to read the metro
politan papers Of the middle west and
east to see that the suggestion made
by the administration that employees
be reimbursed for the five-day holi-
day is not meeting with favor.
Factory employers point out that
there was never a time when employees
were more able to stand layoff than
they are at this time. Many instances
are cited locally where employees are
making twice as much money now as
they were prior to the war period and
that the factory itself is not getting
more for its product than it received
prior to the war period. This Is true
in many cities as well as Rock Island.
whose factories are not handling war
orders.
LAS stated by one factory employer ::
at affects Rock Island severely and
should laborers demand that the fac
tory employers stand this expense
they will have gone on record as be-
ing not only unfair and unjust, but
unpatriotic as we'll. The factory
stands an economic loss in overhead
and maintenance charge during the
period it is closed down and ss this
is war of all of the people, the fac
tory employee <as we'll as the factory
employer, It is only fair that the sac
rifice be carried jointly"

JAPAN AND ENGLAND
SHIPS AT RUSS PORT

Washington, Jan. 19.-Although two
battleships, one British and one Jap
anese, are in the port of Vladivostok,
reports to the state department do not

here that the landing of patrols from
the Japanese cruiser as reported last
night was due to a fear that disorders
might occur.
